Capabilities
KACEL delivers complete electrical scopes — design coordination, supply, installation, civil works, inspection, and closeout documentation — under a single contract. These are the capabilities our municipal, institutional, and commercial clients procure most.
01
Infrared scans find the loose connection, overloaded breaker, or failing component before it becomes a fire, a shutdown, or an insurance problem.
02
Standing maintenance agreements for commercial and institutional portfolios — scheduled inspections, testing, and repairs completed before tenants or occupants ever notice a problem.
03
Portfolio-scale LED conversion programs for warehouses, offices, parking areas, schools, and multi-unit properties — phased around occupants and operating hours, with incentive documentation handled.
04
Aging, undersized, or failed transformer? We plan the shutdown, swap the unit, and bring the building back online — coordinated with the utility and ESA.
05
Parking lots, roadways, and building exteriors — new pole lights set, wired, and aimed, plus wall packs and site lighting that keep the property safe and open after dark.
06
The part most electricians sub out, we do ourselves: the concrete bases and pillars your poles stand on, and the trenching that gets power underground to them.
07
When the power fails, we get you running. Temporary and permanent generator connections for malls, plazas, and commercial/industrial facilities.

Additional Capabilities

Sectors Served
KACEL works where electrical failure isn’t an inconvenience — it’s a liability, a shutdown, or a public-safety issue. Our contract base reflects that.
Exterior and street lighting, recreation facilities, EV charging installations, and capital retrofit programs delivered under public tender — with substantial-performance certification and full closeout documentation.
School-board and institutional retrofit programs executed around academic calendars and occupied facilities — interior LED conversions, distribution upgrades, and life-safety lighting.
Standing maintenance, thermal scanning, and capital programs for property management firms and asset owners — one contract standard across every building in the portfolio.
High-bay lighting programs, distribution and transformer work, and shutdown-window execution for warehouses and industrial facilities that cannot stop production for electrical work.
Suite distribution, metering separations, common-area lighting, and exterior site lighting for conversions and multi-residential properties.
Electrical scopes — including self-performed civil works — delivered as a subcontractor on construction and renovation projects, coordinated with the authorities having jurisdiction.

Portfolio Services
Asset owners and property management firms consolidate electrical with KACEL for a straightforward reason: one accountable contractor, one documentation standard, and scheduled programs that satisfy owners, insurers, and auditors — at every site, not just the easy ones.
Corporate Profile
KACEL Electric Inc. was founded in 2013 and has grown into an infrastructure-focused electrical contractor serving Southern Ontario. The company’s record runs through the public record: exterior lighting programs for the Regional Municipality of Peel, an EV charging installation award from the City of Vaughan, a school-board LED retrofit for the Durham Catholic District School Board, and recreation lighting for the City of Markham — alongside standing retrofit and maintenance programs for property management and industrial clients.
The firm is led by Donny Ramirez, President and Master Electrician (since 2006), and operates licensed, insured, and bonded — with ESA permitting, inspection coordination, and closeout documentation built into every contract. Electrical and civil scopes are self-performed under one contract, so clients deal with a single accountable counterparty from tender to substantial performance.
Project Delivery
Drawings and specifications reviewed, site conditions verified, and a complete written submission issued — bid, quotation, or program proposal.
Insurance, bonding, and compliance documentation filed. ESA permits pulled and utility coordination scheduled before crews mobilize.
Licensed crews execute to specification — phased around occupants, operations, and shutdown windows where the facility requires it.
ESA inspection, testing, and commissioning completed, with deficiencies corrected and re-inspected without schedule drift.
Substantial-performance certification, as-builts, test logs, and reports delivered as a complete closeout package for your records.
Standing Programs
Most KACEL contracts extend into standing programs — scheduled services that keep portfolios compliant, insured, and capital-planned year over year.
One scan a year, every year, with year-over-year comparison. Insurers love it, and it catches failures on a schedule instead of at 2 a.m.
Monthly and annual emergency/exit light testing done for you, with signed logs ready for fire inspection day.
A counted, costed retrofit plan for next year’s capital budget — fixtures, energy savings, and incentive estimates in one document.
Buying or taking over a building? We review the electrical — service size, panel condition, code issues — before you sign.
Transformer swaps, switchgear work, and panel changes done on nights, weekends, and plant shutdowns so production never stops.
Photos, time, and materials itemized per tenant, so property managers can recover costs without an argument.
Common Questions
Yes. KACEL bids and delivers public-sector work — municipal lighting programs, school-board retrofits, and EV charging installations are on our record, with certificates of substantial performance published through the Daily Commercial News. The company is licensed, insured, and bonded, and provides compliance documentation for procurement files on request.
Thermal and regular photos of every problem area, the temperature readings, a severity rating for each finding, and a recommended fix — in a document you can hand to your insurer, owner, or maintenance team. If repairs are needed, we quote them from the same report.
We agree on a visit schedule — monthly, quarterly, or annual — and a scope per visit: inspections, testing, minor repairs, and a written summary after each visit. Service calls between visits are prioritized for plan clients.
Yes — most retrofits are phased by area and scheduled around operating hours, including evenings and weekends where needed. Tenants usually notice nothing but better light.
It depends on the unit and the site, but the shutdown is planned to the hour: everything that can be prepped in advance is done first, and the building is re-energized as soon as ESA inspection allows. We’ll give you the window in writing before we start.
Yes. ESA permits, inspection bookings, and utility coordination are part of the job on the work that requires them — you don’t chase any of it.
