What to check when hiring renewable energy installers in Canada
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a renewable energy installer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Solar, battery and heat-pump installs are electrical (and sometimes gas) work: they need an electrical permit and a licensed electrical contractor (ESA/Technical Safety BC) for the connection, plus a refrigerant-handling certificate for any heat-pump/AC component.
- Grid-tied solar or battery systems need a connection/net-metering agreement with your local utility: confirm the installer arranges it and sizes the system to your home.
- Confirm rebate eligibility (federal or provincial), which may require an EnerGuide energy assessment and a registered advisor.
- Check the equipment and workmanship warranties, liability insurance and a current WCB/WSIB clearance for at-height work.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- No electrical permit, or the connection isn't made by a licensed electrical contractor.
- High-pressure or door-to-door sales with a 'today-only' price or unclear financing.
- No utility connection agreement, or a system not sized to your home.
- No proof of insurance or WCB coverage, and vague warranties.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What is your electrical-contractor licence, and will you pull the permit?
- Will you arrange the utility connection/net-metering agreement?
- Will the work keep me eligible for any rebate?
- What are the warranties, and do you carry insurance and a WCB/WSIB clearance?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy renewable energy installer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A renewable energy installer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend renewable energy installers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Renewable energy installers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a renewable energy installer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the renewable energy installer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
