Schedule a Temporary Disconnect
Renfrew Hydro offers one free Temporary Disconnect per year to help you complete home projects and upgrades safely. Whether you’re trimming trees or building a deck, we’ll disconnect your power so you can work without risk.
When you schedule a Temporary Disconnect, you’ll get a 24-hour appointment window to coordinate project timelines.
What to Expect After You Submit a Request?
A Renfrew Hydro representative will contact you within 5 to 10 business days of your request to confirm the details. We’ll schedule a site visit and conduct a safety assessment and if everything checks out, we’ll safely disconnect your electricity at the scheduled time.
Important Information: Before you make any changes to your electrical service, you must call the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) at 1-877-372-7233 to apply for a permit. After the work is complete, an electrical inspector will ensure that your work meets all the requirements of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
