DIY versus pro line In London, plenty of electrical work crosses into licensed scope. The cost of getting routine service requests wrong on a multifamily building in Downtown dwarfs the price of a service call. ## Trigger conditions Call a pro when you see common wear and tear. Licensed electrical service for outlets, panels, wiring, lighting, and code corrections. ## Documentation matters In London, work that touches a tenancy or that requires a permit needs a paper trail. Residential Tenancies Act 2006 sets the framework. A local code where applicable sits behind code-touching scope. ## How to vet a vendor For electrical in London, vet license, insurance, and familiarity with common wear and tear. The Landlord and Tenant Board of Ontario is one reference for tenancy issues. ## Source notes Our London field notes for this guide come from Downtown, Old North, and Old South ticket reviews.
