MISSISSAUGA, ONT. – The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) of Ontario is using the conviction of an Ontario man to make a public statement explaing how to legally purchase electrician’s services.
Roberto Spada was sentenced in a Windsor, Ont. court in early July on 16 charges that include doing unsafe electrical work and advertising to do electrical work without an electrical contractor’s licence. Spada was placed on two years’ probation, is required to perform 75 hours of community service and pay $27,085 in restitution and fines of $500.
In 2013 the ESA received information that Spada, who is not licensed to conduct electrical work for hire in Ontario, was doing electrical work at multiple locations and was advertising his electrical services online. In Ontario, only Licensed Electrical Contractors are legally allowed to conduct electrical work for hire.
The ESA’s directory of licensed electrical contractors can be found at esasafe.com.
