We've wired kitchens for every type of food service operation. Here are the problems our clients call us about most often.
Commercial cooking equipment draws far more power than a shared outlet can safely handle, and adding a new piece of equipment without a dedicated circuit risks nuisance trips or overheating. Skipping this step is a common cause of unreliable equipment performance. We size and wire dedicated circuits matched to each appliance's actual electrical load.
Recurring trips near fryers, ranges, or ovens usually mean the circuit is undersized for the equipment it's serving, often from a previous renovation or added appliance. Continuing to reset the breaker without correcting the wiring risks equipment damage or fire. We trace the actual cause and correct the circuit sizing rather than just resetting it.
Kitchens wired decades ago were often sized for lighter equipment loads than what modern commercial appliances draw today. Trying to run new equipment on outdated wiring risks both performance issues and code violations. We assess existing wiring and upgrade what's needed to safely support current equipment.
A panel that was adequate for the original kitchen build often can't support equipment added during expansion or a menu change. Adding circuits to a maxed-out panel isn't a safe workaround. We evaluate panel capacity and recommend an upgrade sized for the kitchen's actual equipment needs.
Most restaurants can't afford to close during the day for electrical work without losing revenue. Scheduling wiring work overnight or in phases requires careful planning to avoid disrupting service. We work with kitchen operators to schedule around service hours and minimize downtime.
Kitchen wiring near sinks, dishwashing stations, and prep areas requires GFCI protection and proper placement to meet code and prevent shock hazards in a wet environment. Missing or outdated protection in these areas is a common inspection failure. We install and update wiring to meet GFCI and wet-area code requirements.
Kitchen wiring installed out of sequence with hood installation, gas lines, and plumbing can lead to rework and scheduling conflicts during a build-out. Poor coordination adds cost and delays opening day. We coordinate kitchen wiring with the full construction schedule to keep the project on track.
Commercial kitchen equipment often requires 208-volt three-phase power rather than standard voltage, and installing the wrong service leaves equipment unable to run properly. Guessing at voltage requirements is a costly mistake to correct after the fact. We confirm exact voltage and phase requirements for every piece of equipment before wiring the space.
Adding new stations, expanding the cooking line, or introducing higher-draw equipment during a renovation often pushes a kitchen's electrical system past what it was originally designed to handle. This is easy to overlook until equipment starts underperforming or breakers start tripping. We assess the updated equipment load and wire the kitchen to match it.
We added a combi oven that needed a dedicated 208-volt circuit our old panel wasn't set up for. Electrical Services Ontario assessed the panel, ran the new circuit, and had it done in two days without disrupting our lunch service.
Our full kitchen rewire happened almost entirely overnight over about a week, and we never had to close for dinner service once. The crew was quiet, clean, and gone before the morning prep team arrived each day.
We thought we'd just need a few new circuits but Electrical Services Ontario's assessment showed our panel was maxed out and needed an upgrade first. That added a day to the project, but the team explained clearly why it was necessary before doing the extra work.
I gave the technician our full equipment spec sheet and he sized every circuit correctly on the first pass. No guessing, no trial and error. Electrical Services Ontario clearly knew what commercial kitchen equipment actually requires.
Our fryer line kept tripping breakers during peak hours and a previous electrician couldn't figure out why. This company traced it to an undersized circuit from a previous renovation and corrected it properly. Zero issues since.
We had our commercial kitchen wired during construction of our new location and everything was coordinated smoothly with the hood installers and plumbers. No conflicts between trades and the ESA inspection passed on the first try.

Tell us what is happening — no power, a breaker that will not reset, or a planned upgrade. We talk it through and book a time that works for you, including same-day for urgent calls.
A licensed electrician looks at the actual panel, circuit, and load rather than quoting over the phone, then gives you a firm written price with the scope set out line by line.
The electrician who quoted the job does the work. Drop sheets go down, permits are filed where the work calls for it, and you get an update before anything changes from the plan.
Every circuit is tested before we close the panel, the inspection is booked and the certificate handed over, and our labour is warrantied for two years.
