Electrician Oshawa and Durham Region | PCH Electrical

Durham Region Electrician You Can Count On,

Because “maybe tomorrow” isn’t an option when it comes to your home’s safety, Paul answers his own phone and is present on every job, no rotating crews. A flickering light or a tripped breaker is rarely just a glitch; it can signal a bigger problem or even a safety risk, so it’s not something to trust to someone unfamiliar with your home.

I'm Paul Halvorson, and for over 30 years, I've been the electrician Durham Region homeowners call when they want it done right the first time. 


I started PCH Electrical in 2002, working with production builders on new construction. Those jobs taught me precision and the importance of doing things by the book. Now I bring that same production-builder standard to every residential job, big or small.


When you call PCH Electrical, you get me. Not a dispatcher. Not a rotating crew. Just Paul, showing up when promised, doing the work myself, and standing behind every job.
