Electrical work in Montreal isn't like the suburbs

As an electrician in Montreal, most of our calls involve older buildings. A large share of Montreal's housing stock was built before 1960. Duplexes, triplexes and apartment buildings present challenges you don't meet in a 1985 suburban house: original wiring still in service, multiple panels for multiple units, shared service entrances, and difficult access to walls and ceilings.

We work in these buildings regularly. That means faster diagnosis and less unnecessary demolition inside your walls. For an outage or a short circuit, we also respond as an emergency electrician in Montreal, 24 hours a day.

What we see most often in Montreal

Cloth wiring or no grounding

Pre-war buildings still contain cloth-sheathed wiring or two-wire circuits with no ground. That's a fire risk and an obstacle to insurance.

Overloaded panels in plexes

A triplex converted over the decades often ends up with badly distributed panels, improvised sub-panels and circuits shared between units.

Shared service entrance to replace

Multi-meter buildings still on their original entrance. We coordinate the work and the reconnection with Hydro-Québec.

Insufficient kitchen circuits

Kitchens renovated in older apartments regularly exceed the capacity of the existing circuits: the breaker trips every time you run two appliances.

Rental building emergencies

Outages affecting several units, failed emergency lighting, a faulty main panel. We work with owners and property managers.

Basement water damage

Backups and seepage are common in Montreal basements, often right next to electrical panels. Must be made safe before restoring power.

Frequently asked questions: Montreal

You're based in Laval, do you really serve Montreal?

Yes. We have worked on the island of Montreal since 2009. Our Laval base puts us right next to the north of the island, and we also serve central Montreal, the west and the West Island. We give you a realistic ETA on the phone based on your borough.

My triplex has original wiring. Does it all need replacing at once?

Not necessarily. We inspect the installation and set priorities: anything dangerous gets corrected first, and the rest can be planned in stages to suit your budget. You get a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you work with property managers?

Yes. We serve rental building owners, condo boards and property managers, for planned maintenance as well as emergencies. We can discuss a service agreement with priority call-out.

Do you offer service in English?

Yes, fully. Service is available in English and French, on the phone and on site.
