A Specialist Contractor, Not A Generalist

Carleton Electric Ltd. was established in 1988 to provide electrical service and installation of a more technically specialised nature for a wide range of clients. That description has held up for almost forty years. We are not the contractor for a residential rewire. We are the contractor a hospital engineering team calls when the medium voltage backbone needs to come down for a weekend.

Bid Evaluators Ask For Proof. We Have It.

Engineering teams across Ottawa keep calling because we deliver. Our crews are government secret and RCMP cleared. We are bonded and insured. We have an active working relationship with Hydro Ottawa. The documentation arrives with the work.
