Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

One name dominates this list of lighting installers in Toronto by sheer review count: Extron Electric & Plumbing has racked up 453 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 average, more than double the next closest competitor's 155. The other four on this page range from 36 to 155 reviews, each still holding 4.8 or better, so scale isn't the only thing worth weighing before you call.

Short answer: Extron Electric & Plumbing Ltd leads with a perfect 5.0 average across 453 reviews, the deepest track record on this list. For lighting work specifically, 2B Wired Toronto (4.8, 155 reviews) lists lighting as a named core service rather than a byproduct of general electrical jobs.

Extron Electric & Plumbing Ltd

5.0453 Google reviews

Extron Electric & Plumbing has operated as a licensed electrical contractor since 2007, serving Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon, Vaughan, and the surrounding GTA, according to its own site, with both residential and commercial electrical wiring alongside a separate plumbing division. Its team includes Certified Master Electricians working to Canadian Electrical Code standards, and the company handles permits and inspections directly for renovation or new-build electrical work, including new lighting. It's a broader electrical and plumbing contractor rather than a specialty lighting-only installer, so lighting work here typically comes bundled with a wider electrical job.

What people praise

  • A dishwasher install requiring both electrical and plumbing modification is described in detail as clean, code-compliant work with a fully tidied-up finish
  • Multiple reviewers name the same technician for prompt, professional service across different job types
  • Reviewers describe reasonable, transparent pricing quoted before work begins

Worth knowing

  • It's primarily an electrical and plumbing contractor rather than a lighting specialist, so if you only need fixture installation, a dedicated electrician may be more cost-efficient for a small job

Our take: A perfect 5.0 average across 453 reviews, the largest volume on this list by a wide margin, makes it the safest general electrical call even though lighting isn't its sole focus.

2B Wired Toronto

4.8155 Google reviews

2B Wired is a licensed electrician (ECRA/ESA #7010146) operating out of a First Canadian Place office downtown, specializing in service upgrades, rewiring, lighting, networking, home theatres, and security systems. Its own site specifically lists lighting as a core service line alongside broader electrical work, and reviews describe both fixture-level jobs and larger custom lighting setups. The company also handles same-day emergency electrical calls.

What people praise

  • A custom lighting fixture project, including painting the fixture as part of the job, is described as a standout example of the team going beyond a standard install
  • Reviewers describe same-day emergency response, including a Sunday call for a burning smell from a circuit breaker
  • Named staff are credited repeatedly for clear communication and same-visit completion

Our take: A 4.8 average across 155 reviews, and lighting specifically named as a core service, makes this the clearest fit if fixture and lighting-design work is the actual job.

New Toronto Electric

5.084 Google reviews

New Toronto Electric is a licensed electrician (ESA #7017214) based on Ordnance Street, handling residential and commercial electrical work including panel upgrades and EV charger installs, run largely as a one-person operation by a technician named Shane across the reviews. Lighting fixture installation and new outlet work come up specifically in more than one review as completed jobs, alongside larger work like full panel replacements.

What people praise

  • An emergency panel replacement, including melting breakers, is described in detailed, specific terms as thorough and safety-focused work completed in a single long day
  • Multiple reviews describe several light fixtures installed cleanly alongside new outlets in the same visit
  • Reviewers repeatedly describe being able to reach the electrician directly and get fast responses, including picking up work other electricians had abandoned

Worth knowing

  • With a single named technician handling the work across these reviews, availability for larger or more urgent jobs may be more limited than at a multi-crew company

Our take: A perfect 5.0 average across 84 reviews, all five-star, is a strong signal, though the smaller volume and apparent solo operation mean less capacity than the larger firms on this list.

Modern Electrical Contractors INC

5.068 Google reviews

Modern Electrical Contractors is a licensed electrical contractor based on Westmoreland Avenue, serving Toronto and Barrie with commercial, residential, and lighting electrical services, according to its own site. Reviews describe a two-person team, named repeatedly across jobs, handling everything from troubleshooting to a full 200-amp panel upgrade paired with solar shingle installation, a less common combination than a standard electrician offers.

What people praise

  • A solar shingle installation paired with a 200-amp panel upgrade is described as smoothly handled by a team unusually familiar with that specific system
  • Multiple reviewers describe fair, honest pricing and long-term solutions rather than a temporary patch
  • The same two named technicians are credited consistently across different reviews for professionalism and communication

Our take: A perfect 5.0 average across 68 reviews is solid, though it's a smaller review base than the top three on this list, worth weighing if you want a longer track record.

Limitless Build Contracting

5.036 Google reviews

Limitless Build Contracting is a general contractor based in the GTA handling bathroom renovations, drywall, flooring, and full home builds, work that's broader than lighting installation specifically. One review in this dataset describes the company mounting a TV and installing wall and ceiling speakers, an audio-visual job that overlaps with electrical work but isn't a dedicated lighting fixture install. This is a renovation and construction contractor first, not a specialty electrician or lighting installer.

What people praise

  • Reviewers consistently describe clear communication and transparent timelines across renovation projects
  • A bathroom renovation is described in detail as precise, high-quality work with strong attention to finishes
  • The TV mount and speaker install specifically drew praise for looking and sounding great

Worth knowing

  • This is a general renovation and construction contractor, not a dedicated lighting or electrical specialist, so if lighting installation is your only need, one of the licensed electricians on this list is the more direct fit

Our take: A perfect 5.0 average across 36 reviews is a good early signal, but it's included here mainly on the strength of one AV installation review rather than dedicated lighting work, so weigh that against the specialists above.

Watch: 5 Best Lighting Installers in Toronto (2026)

How we ranked these electricians

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume tracks how many customers actually left feedback, weighed more heavily than a perfect score built on a small handful of reviews. Confidence blends both, and recency checks whether feedback is still coming in recently or has slowed. No contractor here paid for its position.

What does lighting installation cost in Toronto? (2026)

Cost depends heavily on the scope: swapping a single fixture is a different job than running new wiring for a chandelier or adding a bank of pot lights, and whether a permit is required changes the price further. None of the businesses above publish fixed rates, and every one offers a quote before work begins, which is the reliable way to get a real number for your specific job.

Lighting and electrical work across Toronto

This list spans downtown’s First Canadian Place, the west end near High Park, and the GTA’s Brampton, Mississauga, and Vaughan corridor, with most companies also serving the broader region beyond their home address. If you’re searching for a lighting installer or electrician near me in Toronto, several of these companies quote across the whole GTA rather than just their immediate neighbourhood.

What to ask before you hire a lighting installer

  • Is the technician a licensed electrician (ESA or ECRA certified in Ontario), and can they show that on request?
  • Does the job require a permit, and does the quote include pulling one?
  • Is the quote based on a site visit, or an estimate over the phone?
  • Does your electrical panel have capacity for the new lighting load, or does that need upgrading first?
  • Is the same person who quotes the job the one who shows up to do it?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We compared businesses in Toronto returning for a lighting-installer search with a real Google track record, then ranked by a mix of rating, review volume, and how recently people are still reviewing.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026. We refresh listings periodically as ratings and review counts shift.

Are all five of these dedicated lighting specialists?

No. Most are licensed electricians who handle lighting as part of broader electrical work, and one, Limitless Build Contracting, is a general renovation contractor included mainly on the strength of a single audio-visual installation review. Worth knowing if lighting is your only need.

Do I need a licensed electrician for lighting work in Ontario?

Electrical work in Ontario generally needs to be done by an ESA or ECRA licensed electrician and may require a permit, depending on scope. Ask any contractor for their license number before booking.

The bottom line

Extron Electric & Plumbing is the safe default given its scale and perfect rating. If lighting specifically, not general electrical, is the job, call 2B Wired Toronto instead, since it’s the one company here that names lighting as a dedicated service line.
