Who regulates repair work in Ontario

In Ontario, only a licensed electrical contractor (ECRA/ESA licence) may be hired for electrical work, and the contractor files a notification of work with the Electrical Safety Authority so it can be inspected. Gas appliances and fuel lines must be handled by a technician certified by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. Plumbing and building permits come from the municipality.

Consumer complaints and contract questions go to Consumer Protection Ontario. Workers’ compensation coverage, which protects you if a tradesperson is injured on your property, is verified through WSIB. Old electronics can be dropped off free through Recycle My Electronics (EPRA Ontario).

In a condominium corporation, shared systems such as risers, venting and common wiring usually need the condo board’s sign-off before work, and most buildings require elevator bookings and contractor registration at the desk.
