Where clients come from

  1. Getting ready to sell

    Owners getting ready to sell read the electrical page: who may do the work, ESA notifications and the record search.

  2. The first 90 days

    New owners read the permits on record for their home, and plan EV chargers and panel upgrades.

The records to know

OfferDue's tools for this work

Each is sold once, at a flat price that is the same for every business; none is billed monthly. One that is not open to buy yet says so on its page.

The register and the line

  • Electrical Safety Authority: hiring a licensed electrical contractorElectrical work in a home is hired from a Licensed Electrical Contractor, a business with an ECRA/ESA licence number; an individual electrician can't be hired directly. ESA's contractor locator checks the number.Check the register →
  • Skilled Trades Ontario: public registerShows whether a person holds a certificate (or is a registered apprentice) in one of Ontario's compulsory trades, with the certificate's expiry date. Plumbing, both electrician trades, residential air conditioning and sheet metal work are compulsory trades.Check the register →

What OfferDue does and doesn't do with this business:

  • Listing is free and shows in the order businesses were checked: no business pays for a place, a label or an order on any page.
  • OfferDue takes no fee for a client who finds a listed business, and pays none to anyone for a client.
  • OfferDue's pages say what each record shows and where it comes from: never legal, financial, insurance or inspection advice.

Public-record information, not legal, financial, insurance or inspection advice. A listing on OfferDue is not a recommendation; check licences and references yourself.
