ESA Defect Corrections & Re-Inspections
Received an ESA defect notice or an insurance letter about your electrical? Charged Electric corrects the defects, arranges the re-inspection and gives you the paperwork to close the file. Serving Kitchener-Waterloo and Wilmot Township.
What an ESA Defect Notice Means
Don't panic
A defect notice from the Electrical Safety Authority lists specific items that don't meet code, each with a deadline. It usually follows a home purchase, an insurance requirement, unpermitted work, or an inspection after other jobs. It's fixable, and the clock matters more than the blame.
How we handle it:
Send us the defect notice; we quote the corrections item by item, upfront
We correct each defect to the current Ontario Electrical Safety Code
We arrange the re-inspection and see it through to a pass
You get the documentation for ESA, your insurer or your lawyer
Deadlines on defect notices are real. The sooner we see the list, the more scheduling room we have to meet yours.
From Defect List to Closed File
Charged Electric corrects ESA defects for homeowners, buyers and landlords across New Hamburg, Wilmot Township and Kitchener-Waterloo, from a single flagged outlet to a full list.
ESA Defects
- Item-by-Item Quotes
- Every defect on the notice priced individually, so you see exactly what each correction costs.
- Deadline-Driven Scheduling
- Defect notices and insurance letters come with dates attached. We schedule the work to meet them.
- Corrected to Current Code
- ECRA/ESA licensed 7011473 and fully insured. Corrections are done to the current code and re-inspected, not patched.
- Older Homes Welcome
- Aluminum wiring, ungrounded outlets and fuse-era leftovers are routine work for our crews.
Where Defect Notices Come From
Common triggers
Most defect lists start with one of four events: a home sale where the inspector flagged the electrical, an insurance renewal that demanded an inspection, unpermitted work that caught up with the house, or an ESA inspection after other work.
The corrections we make most:
Ungrounded or reversed outlets and missing GFCI protection
Open splices, junction boxes without covers and exposed wiring
Double-tapped breakers and overfused circuits
Aluminum wiring connections needing approved terminations
Whatever put the list in your hands, the way out is the same: correct, re-inspect, document. Send us the notice and we'll take it from there.

They installed a whole home generator for us. Top notch job! Everything went tickity boo. A lot of work involved but the trades were all very professional and explained the job to us as we went along. Other contractors wouldn’t even return our calls. Highly recommend! Local too!

I had them come help me with issues when I had my Lyric Thermostat. On time (early), pet friendly (did not mind my hyper chocolate lab) and price range very reasonable. I would highly recommend Charged Electric in the future.
