Light fixtures, ceiling fans, dimmers, smart thermostats, video doorbells and smoke alarms — installed cleanly and tested. We confirm your wiring at booking so we arrive with the right parts.
Swapping a fixture, fan or smart device is well within a skilled handyman's scope — and our techs do it to code with zero exposed wiring. Anything that touches your panel or new circuits, we hand to a licensed electrician we trust.
Nest, Ecobee, Google Home, Honeywell installed and set up. We confirm your wiring type at booking to make sure everything is compatible.
Wired or smart doorbells (Ring, Nest, Eufy) installed and tested. Inspection of existing wires is required.
Pendant, flush mount, or ceiling fixture swapped cleanly and safely. We check the box is rated for the weight and leave zero exposed wiring.

Upgrading a light fixture, ceiling fan or smart device instantly modernises a room — but it only stays safe if the box is rated for the load and the connections are made correctly. Our technicians swap fixtures, fans, dimmers and switches on your existing wiring to Ontario code, leaving zero exposed conductors and testing every device before we pack up. Smart thermostats, video doorbells and hard-wired smoke and CO detectors are everyday work for us.
We're clear about scope: fixture-level replacements on existing circuits are a handyman job and covered by our flat rate, while anything involving the panel, new circuits or fresh wiring runs belongs to a licensed electrician — and we'll connect you with one we trust rather than cutting corners. That honesty is why Toronto homeowners call BuildMan first for the dozens of small electrical upgrades that make a home feel finished. Most installs take one to three hours.
No "trip charges". No surprise add-ons. Most jobs wrap up the same visit.
After 3 hours: $85/hr. Materials at supplier cost. Hours doubled if a second technician is needed.
No — anything involving the electrical panel, new circuits, or wiring runs is the scope of a licensed electrician, and we'll connect you with one we trust. Fixture swaps, fans, switches, dimmers and smart devices on existing wiring are all handled by our techs.
Absolutely. We install client-supplied fixtures, fans and smart devices every day. We'll confirm your existing wiring type at booking so there are no surprises.
Usually yes — fans need a fan-rated box and balancing, so they typically fall in the 2-hour ($255) rate. A simple fixture swap is often a 1-hour ($150) job.
Swapping a light fixture, dimmer or switch where the wiring already exists is within a handyman's scope, and we do it safely and to code. New circuits, panel work or anything that opens up wiring must be done by a licensed electrician under Electrical Safety Authority rules — we'll tell you honestly which one your job is and can refer a licensed trade.
Most ceiling-fan replacements where a fixture box already exists fit our 1-hour ($150) flat rate. If we need to add bracing for a heavy fan or there's no existing box, it may move to the 2-hour ($255) rate — we confirm before starting.
Yes. A missing C-wire is the most common smart-thermostat snag; we install the correct adapter or run the wire where feasible, then set up the device on your Wi-Fi and confirm your heating and cooling both work before we leave.
