Upgrade to Efficient Electric Heating

Electric heating systems and heat pumps keep your home comfortable all year, efficiently, quietly, and without fossil fuels. Whether you are adding a heat pump, upgrading baseboard heaters, or replacing an old electric water heater, we will make sure your electrical system is ready to handle it safely and efficiently.

At Symmetric Electric Ltd., we install, upgrade, and wire all types of electric heating equipment across Toronto and the GTA. Every installation is done to Ontario Electrical Code standards, inspected by the ESA, and backed by our $5 million liability insurance partrnered with your HVAC professionals.

When to Upgrade or Add Electric Heating

Electric heating systems draw significant power, so your panel, breakers, and wiring need to be ready for the load. If you are switching from gas to electric, or adding new heating zones, it is worth checking your capacity first.

You may need an electrical upgrade if:

You’re installing a new heat pump, electric furnace, or baseboard heaters
You’re replacing a gas water heater with an electric or tankless model
You’ve added an EV charger, hot tub, or other large electrical loads
Your panel is older, full, or showing signs of corrosion
Your home still uses fuses instead of breakers

We will inspect your existing system and calculate the demand so your heating runs safely and efficiently.
If needed, we can upgrade your service or add a sub-panel for the new load.

Heat Pump & Electric Heating Options

We install and upgrade all types of electric heating systems for homes, condos, and commercial spaces.
Whether you are adding a single-zone heat pump or replacing your whole system, we will design the wiring, circuits, and protection to match your load and layout.

Heat Pumps

High-efficiency heat pumps provide both heating and cooling through one system. We install single-zone ductless units, multi-zone setups, and cold-climate systems designed for Toronto winters.

Electric Baseboard Heaters

A simple, reliable heating option that’s perfect for additions, basements, or rooms without ducts. We handle proper circuit sizing, thermostats, and placement for even heating.

In-Floor & Radiant Heating

Radiant heating offers quiet, efficient comfort. We install floor heating systems for bathrooms, kitchens, or basements, with dedicated circuits and smart thermostat control.

Electric Water Heaters & Boilers

We connect tank and tankless water heaters, electric boilers, and combination systems with the right wiring, breaker protection, and GFCI safety where required.

Garage & Outdoor Heaters

We wire ceiling-mount and wall-mount electric heaters for garages, shops, and outdoor areas, with weatherproof wiring and disconnect switches for safety.

Every heating system we install is sized, wired, and inspected for safe operation. From the panel to the thermostat, we make sure your new system runs efficiently and meets Ontario Electrical Code standards.

Common Questions About Appliance & Fixture Installation

Do I need an electrician to install a heat pump or electric heater?

Yes. Most heat pumps, electric furnaces, and baseboard heaters require dedicated circuits and high-current wiring. A licensed electrician ensures the connections are sized correctly and meet Ontario Electrical Code standards for safety and performance.

Can you work with my HVAC contractor?

Absolutely. We regularly coordinate with HVAC installers and plumbing contractors to handle the electrical side of your heat pump or electric heating project. We make sure the wiring, breaker protection, and disconnects are installed before their team finishes setup.

Will my electrical panel handle a new heat pump?

That depends on your existing load. Heat pumps can draw significant current, especially when paired with backup electric heat. We will perform a load calculation and confirm whether your panel can handle the new demand or if a service upgrade is recommended.

Do I need a dedicated circuit for electric heating?

Yes. Electric heaters, baseboards, and heat pumps must be on dedicated circuits with properly rated breakers and wiring. This prevents overload and ensures each system operates safely and efficiently.

What size breaker does a heat pump or heater need?

Breaker size depends on the unit’s amperage rating and voltage. Common heat pump systems require 20A to 40A breakers on 240V circuits. We size breakers and wire according to manufacturer specs and code requirements.

Do I need a permit or ESA inspection for my heating equipment?

Yes, most new heating installations require an ESA permit and inspection. We take care of all documentation and scheduling so you receive a Certificate of Inspection once the work is approved.

How much does electric heating installation cost?

It varies depending on system size, wiring distance, and panel capacity. Simple baseboard installations start around $300–$500, while full heat pump connections can range higher. We provide a clear, itemized quote before any work begins.

Can you upgrade my service or panel if needed?

Yes. We install 200A service upgrades, new panels, or sub-panels if your system requires more capacity. We also coordinate with Toronto Hydro and the ESA to handle all permits and inspections.

We will be happy to help you plan your heating installation safely and efficiently.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience working with Symmetric Electric Ltd. and Dan Kraus. From the very beginning, Dan demonstrated a level of professionalism, technical expertise, and integrity that is hard to find in the industry today. He took the time to thoroughly understand the scope of our building at 426 Ossington Ave, and approached the electrical assessment with a methodical, detail-oriented mindset. What truly stood out was his ability to translate complex electrical systems into clear, actionable insights. He didn’t just “look at panels”—he conducted a structured investigation, identified potential cross-feeding issues, and provided a clear path forward to bring the building into a safe, compliant, and properly organized condition. This aligns exactly with the type of work required in a mixed-use property where life-safety systems and tenant separation must be handled correctly.   Dan’s communication was excellent throughout: •	Transparent about scope and expectations •	Honest about unknowns (which is critical in older buildings) •	Flexible and solution-oriented •	Focused on doing the job properly—not cutting corners He also demonstrated strong accountability around ESA requirements, inspections, and documentation, which is essential not only for compliance, but also for insurance, resale value, and landlord-tenant considerations. If you are looking for an electrician who operates at a high professional standard, understands multi-unit and mixed-use buildings, and takes pride in delivering correct, compliant work, I would highly recommend Symmetric Electric. This is the type of contractor you want involved when the goal is not just to “fix something,” but to do it right and stand behind it. — Paul da Silva

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a set of light fixtures that needed replacing in hard to reach areas and Dan was extremely professional and efficient in changing them. He also made minor adjustments for aesthetic purposes on request even though he wasn't obligated to. I'd be happy to work with Dan again in the future.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Based on so many positive reviews, I contacted Dan to install an EV car charger at our home.  His great reviews are well deserved!  Within an hour of sending him an initial email, he responded.  He did extra research on the model of the car I was getting to ensure I bought the right type of charger.   We set up an appointment and he arranged the necessary electrical inspection.  He is friendly, professional and responsive.  Will definitely use him again.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An absolute pleasure to have in our home.  Danny was patient with us as he ended up staying far longer than anticipated because we kept giving him new things to do. He was up for each challenge and did an excellent job.  When he left, it was like he was never here as he left nothing behind.  I highly recommend him!  You will not be disappointed.

   Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan was great! I had a very difficult TV installation that required drilling behind my fireplace to hide wires and several ceiling lights to be installed. Dan persisted with the difficult installation after my previous technician gave up and everything looks so good now! I’m so happy with his service!
