Lighting and Smart Control FAQ for Toronto Homes & Businesses
Have questions about lighting upgrades or smart control systems? You’re not alone.
We get asked about safety, costs, and new technology all the time. Here are some quick answers to help you plan your next project with confidence.
If you don’t see your question here, just give us a call. We’re happy to help.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install new lighting or smart switches?
Yes. In Ontario, only a licensed electrical contractor can legally perform electrical work. Hiring a licensed electrician keeps your home safe, ensures the work meets Ontario Electrical Code, and protects your insurance coverage.
What’s the difference between regular lighting and smart lighting?
Smart lighting lets you control brightness, colour, and timing from your phone, tablet, or voice assistant. You can schedule lights, save energy, and set the perfect mood anywhere in your home or business.
Can you upgrade my existing fixtures to LED?
Absolutely. We can retrofit your existing lights with high-efficiency LED fixtures that use less power, last longer, and produce cleaner light. It’s one of the easiest ways to modernize your space and cut energy costs.
How do I choose the right color temperature for my rooms?
Warm white (2700–3000K) is great for living areas and bedrooms, while cooler light (4000–5000K) works better for kitchens, offices, and workshops. We’ll help you choose the best lighting tone for comfort and function.
Do smart lighting systems work with Alexa or Google Home?
Yes. Most smart dimmers, switches, and fixtures we install work seamlessly with Alexa, Google Home, Siri and Apple HomeKit. We’ll make sure your setup integrates with your preferred platform.
How long does a lighting installation usually take?
Most upgrades or new installs are completed in one to two days, depending on the project size and wiring layout. Larger smart lighting or control systems can take a bit longer, but we’ll always provide a clear schedule before we start.
What if I need help after the installation?
We stand by our work. If you ever have questions or need adjustments, we’re just a call away. We’ll help make sure your lighting performs exactly the way you want it to.

Paul da SilvaTrustindex 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 SilvaPosted on Daniel GippsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan did an excellent job installing two 30amp breakers, an outlet, and a disconnect panel for a dryer and electric heat pump water heater install. He was efficient getting us quotes and talked through options.Posted on Jackson YeungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Dan of Symmetric Electric install a 48A EV charger this week. He was quick to return our initial call, and super detailed over the phone. Booking was fast for our first visit/quote. He was punctual and completed the work exactly as described and quick! Neat and tidy. Thanks for the quick turnaround on our charger!Posted on Carly SteinbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danny did a great job on a 1-day project at our house! He was efficient, communicative, and tidy, and we are very satisfied with the work. Pricing was also very reasonable. We will definitely hire him again for future needs!Posted on Rachel DoranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dan was prompt, thorough and professional. He brainstormed ways to help me keep the cost down and solved all my problems in one short visit. Highly recommend to anyone.Posted on Ron VuongTrustindex 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.Posted on Dave FergusonTrustindex 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.Posted on Allie WeinerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Symmetric electric. They were quick to respond and resolved our electrical issue and very professional.Posted on Nancy NezonTrustindex 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.Posted on SachaTrustindex 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!Posted on Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
