Yemen Electric

Residential Electricians in Renfrew & Ottawa Valley

Yemen Electric provides residential electrical services throughout Renfrew and the Ottawa Valley — from panel upgrades and rewiring to new construction and EV charger installation.

What We Offer

  • Electrical panel upgrades and replacements
  • Aluminum and knob-and-tube rewiring
  • New construction rough-in
  • EV charger installation
  • Hot tub and pool wiring
  • Basement and addition wiring
  • Smoke and CO detector installation
  • Surge protection

Every residential job is completed by a licensed electrician working under ECRA/ESA Licence #7001701. We pull the required permits, follow the Ontario Electrical Code, and leave your home safe and up to standard — whether it's a single outlet repair or a full rewire.

Homes in the Ottawa Valley range from century farmhouses with knob-and-tube wiring to new-construction builds. We've worked on both, and everything in between, since 1970.

Most residential calls start with a phone conversation — tell us what's going on, and we'll give you a realistic idea of what's involved before anyone sets foot on your property. For larger projects like panel upgrades or whole-home rewires, we'll walk the site with you first, so the quote reflects your actual home rather than a generic estimate.

We show up when we say we will, explain what we're doing in plain language, and clean up after ourselves. That's not a marketing line — it's the same standard Yemen Electric has held to since Vern Yemen wired his first farmhouse in 1970, and it's the reason so many of our customers are the children and grandchildren of the people we worked for decades ago.

Most residential panel upgrades are completed in one day. Larger or more complex jobs may take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline before work begins.

Can you install an EV charger at my home?

Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers for all makes and handle the permit, wiring, and installation. Call 613-432-6593 to discuss your setup.
