Built around the projects CBK does best.
CBK Electric works with homeowners, custom-home builders and general contractors who need more than a quick fixture replacement. We plan and complete substantial residential electrical scopes with clear coordination from rough-in through inspection and finishing.
Custom-home electrical
Complete electrical systems for new custom houses and major additions, coordinated with the builder, mechanical equipment, cabinetry, lighting and the other trades.
- Service, panels and complete branch wiring
- Lighting layouts, switching and controls
- Appliance, HVAC and dedicated equipment circuits
- EV, generator and future-load preparation
- Structured cabling and smart-home rough-in
- ESA notification and inspection coordination
Complete house rewiring
Full rewiring for existing and older homes where the electrical system no longer suits the renovation, present loads or expected level of safety and performance.
- Replacement of aging or inadequate wiring
- New lighting, receptacle and appliance circuits
- Grounding, bonding and panel integration
- Rewiring for major interior renovations
- Code corrections identified during the project
- Inspection-ready documentation and turnover
Service & panel upgrades
More capacity and a better distribution system for renovations, EV charging, heating and cooling equipment, backup power and future electrical loads.
- Residential service and panel upgrades
- Common 100 A-to-200 A conversions
- Panel replacements and subpanels
- Load review for planned equipment
- Utility and ESA coordination as required
- Surge protection and future capacity planning
Power, lighting controls and low-voltage infrastructure under one scope.
Custom homes work better when the electrical and technology wiring are planned together. CBK Electric can coordinate lighting controls, Control4 integration, data cabling and device locations before the walls close, reducing conflicts and keeping the finished installation organized.
Everything that supports the larger residential project.
These services are coordinated as part of the larger residential project so capacity, routing, controls and inspection requirements stay organized.
Renovations & additions
Electrical scopes for major additions, kitchens, bathrooms, basements and complete interior renovations.
EV charging
Residential EV charger circuits, load review and electrical preparation for present or future vehicles.
Backup power
Generator connections, transfer equipment and electrical preparation for selected backup loads.
Lighting & controls
Architectural lighting, pot lights, dimming, switching and integrated lighting-control systems.
Dedicated circuits
Power for appliances, HVAC equipment, workshops and other higher-demand residential loads.
Surge protection
Whole-home surge protection and coordinated protection for sensitive residential equipment.
Troubleshooting
Diagnosis and correction of electrical problems discovered during renovations and upgrades.
Inspection corrections
Practical correction work when deficiencies or code issues are identified within the agreed scope.
Service upgrades should be based on the actual house and future loads.
Before recommending equipment, CBK reviews the proposed renovation, heating and cooling loads, EV charging, appliances, backup-power plans and available service capacity. The quotation identifies the agreed scope, important assumptions and required coordination.
Request a service-upgrade review →A clear path from drawings to inspection.
Large residential work needs decisions early. Drawings, equipment information and a site review provide a more accurate scope than a short service-call description.
Share the project
Send the address, plans, photos, equipment information and expected schedule.
Review & walkthrough
We identify missing information and arrange a site visit when required.
Scope & proposal
The quotation sets out the planned work, assumptions, exclusions and next steps.
Scheduling & inspection
Work is coordinated with the project schedule and applicable inspection requirements.
Useful answers before you request pricing.
Actual requirements depend on the house, accessibility, drawings and equipment. These answers explain how CBK approaches the most common major residential inquiries.
Does CBK handle complete electrical work for new custom homes?
Yes. CBK can complete the residential electrical scope from service and distribution through branch wiring, lighting, equipment connections, controls, structured cabling and inspection coordination.
Can you completely rewire an older Toronto house?
Yes. The exact approach depends on access, existing finishes, renovation plans and the condition of the electrical system. Drawings, photos and a site review help define an accurate scope.
What is involved in a residential service or panel upgrade?
The work may include capacity review, utility coordination, service equipment, panel replacement, grounding and bonding, ESA notification and restoration responsibilities. The proposal identifies what is included for the specific property.
Do you install Lutron smart-home lighting systems?
CBK installs and integrates Lutron lighting-control systems for residential projects. The selected system, device schedule, programming responsibilities and commissioning requirements are confirmed before work proceeds.
Can CBK install and terminate CAT6 or CAT6A?
Yes. CBK can plan cable routes, install CAT6/CAT6A, provide data outlets and organize terminations for network equipment, Wi-Fi access points and connected devices.
Can CBK coordinate a Control4 smart-home system?
Yes. CBK can coordinate the electrical and low-voltage infrastructure with a specialist Control4 integrator for system design, programming and commissioning. Responsibilities are confirmed before work proceeds.
Will my project require an ESA notification and inspection?
Many major residential installations and service upgrades require ESA involvement. CBK identifies applicable notification and inspection requirements as the project scope is developed.
Planning a custom home, complete rewire or service upgrade?
Send CBK Electric the property address, drawings or photos, planned equipment and target schedule. We will review the information and confirm the most useful next step.
