Bathroom Wiring in Ottawa – Safe, Code-Compliant & Professionally Installed

Bathroom Wiring In Ottawa

Bathroom Wiring in Ottawa

If you’re upgrading your bathroom, don’t overlook the bathroom wiring.

Modern bathrooms demand more than just style — they need safe, reliable, and code-compliant electrical wiring.

At Ottawa Electric Service, we specialize in bathroom electrical wiring that meets all safety standards under the Bathroom Electrical Code Ontario.

Water and electricity don’t mix — and nowhere is that more obvious than in your bathroom.

That’s why we follow every part of the bathroom wiring code carefully, so you can enjoy your new space without worrying about hidden hazards.

What Makes Bathroom Electrical Wiring So Important?

Bathrooms are different from any other room in your home.

Why?

Because every outlet, switch, and fixture must be rated for wet or damp conditions.

The Bathroom Electrical Code in Ontario requires GFCI protection, dedicated circuits, and even spacing rules between outlets and water sources.

If your contractor skips a step or your old wiring is outdated, you could be putting your safety at risk.

That’s why our team handles everything — from circuit upgrades to fixture installation — all with expert knowledge of the Ontario electrical code.

Need additional electrical work done elsewhere in your home? We also offer complete residential electrical services, including panel upgrades, outlet installations, and more.

Understanding the Bathroom Electrical Code Ontario

Ontario has very specific rules when it comes to bathroom wiring code.

Here’s what you need to know:

All bathroom outlets must be GFCI-protected.
Any outlet must be at least 1 metre from a tub or shower if not GFCI.
Lighting near showers must be moisture-rated and installed with sealed fixtures.
A 20-amp dedicated circuit is required for bathroom receptacles.
Any changes require ESA permits and inspection.

We follow every part of the Bathroom Electrical Code Ontario, so your project passes inspection the first time.

Need help with inspections? We also offer full residential inspection services to catch problems before they cost you.

Smart Planning for Your Bathroom Wiring Layout

A safe, functional bathroom wiring plan isn’t just about code — it’s about convenience.

We work with homeowners and contractors in Ottawa to design layouts that make sense.

Some tips we always recommend:

Add outlets near mirrors for electric toothbrushes and razors.
Install switches with nightlights or dimmers for evening use.
Use motion sensor lights for added convenience.
Place fan switches near the door or on a timer.

Planning your layout right saves time, money, and frustration later.

We also help with related installations like lighting fixtures and smart switches.
