Kitchen Wiring in Ottawa
If you’re planning a kitchen renovation in Ottawa, don’t forget the most important upgrade of all — your kitchen wiring.
Whether you’re installing new appliances, rearranging outlets, or upgrading lighting, proper electrical wiring for the kitchen is essential for safety, performance, and passing inspection.
At Ottawa Electric Service, we specialize in wiring kitchens as part of full-scale Ottawa kitchen renovations.
We make sure your kitchen electrical wiring is modern, efficient, and built to last — all while keeping your home safe.
Why Kitchen Electrical Wiring Is So Important
Modern kitchens are packed with power-hungry devices.
Between your fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and island outlets — the demands on your wiring system are huge.
Outdated or undersized circuits can’t handle the load. That leads to tripped breakers, flickering lights, or worse — electrical fires.
Our team ensures every part of your kitchen wiring meets Ontario code and can handle your appliances comfortably.
We also install GFCI outlets, a must-have for safety in any kitchen.
If your renovation involves major layout changes, we’ll reroute wires, add new circuits, and upgrade panels where needed.

Signs Your Kitchen Needs Rewiring
Not sure if your kitchen wiring is safe?
Here are clear warning signs your electrical system might be outdated or unsafe:
-
Flickering or dimming lights when you turn on appliances
-
Warm outlets or switches
-
A burning smell near outlets
-
Your kitchen only has two-prong outlets
-
Frequent breaker trips when using the microwave or toaster
If you notice any of these, you need to consider rewiring your kitchen fast.
We specialize in identifying outdated systems and replacing them with code-compliant kitchen electrical wiring.
We also handle entire residential wiring projects for older homes in Ottawa.
Repair vs. Full Rewire: What You Really Need
Not every kitchen needs a full rewire.
Sometimes, a few electrical repairs or added circuits are all you need to safely support your new appliances.
We’ll help you decide whether you need:
-
New GFCI outlets only
-
A new dedicated circuit for a heavy-load appliance
-
Full removal of aluminum or outdated wiring
-
A complete panel upgrade (check our residential panel upgrade service)
Want just a quick fix for now? We also offer fast residential electrical repair services.
