The ESA administers the OESC, licenses electrical contractors and master electricians, and conducts safety inspections of electrical installations to ensure compliance and safety.

You can verify a contractor’s license through the ESA’s online directory or by contacting them directly. It’s essential to ensure any electrician you hire is both licensed and insured.
Adding outlets or fixtures must comply with the OESC, which includes proper spacing, circuit loading, and the use of appropriate materials. A permit is typically required for such additions.
