The History of Hogg & Nevills Electric in Caledon, Ontario

Since forming Hogg & Nevills Electric, we have retained our excellent staff members, who have now become familiar faces in the area. These employees are a valued asset to our customers with their electrical systems knowledge and skilful installations. We employ a staff of 10 journeymen electricians, apprentices, an electrical engineering technologist, and a PLC programmer. We also keep a registered nurse on staff to tend to the health and safety needs of our electricians and employees.


As “hands-on” owners of Hogg & Nevills, Garry and Mark remain committed to the service expertise we’ve become known for since 1959. As a family-owned business, we are lucky to have Shelly Nevills and Alina Hogg managing the front office. We look forward to seeing a third generation of Hoggs contribute to the team with the addition of Alex Hogg. Alex is a graduate of Conestoga Electrical Engineering Technology, and is a valued part of our company through his expertise in electrical automation.


Our experience has not gone unrecognized by our peers, and we’ve received an ESA Authorized Contractor Designation of “CALL 1036”. With the ESA designation, we have been pre-approved to handle installations for residential, commercial, and industrial clients, as well as high voltage installations and substation maintenance.
