24/7 emergency electrician in Laval, Montreal & across Quebec
A master electrician answers your call, day and night, 365 days a year. No call centre, no voicemail: you speak directly to the electrician who will come out.
An electrical emergency does not get better while you wait. Call
(514) 616-7779 and we will tell you
honestly, in two minutes, whether this needs attention right now or whether it can
wait until morning. The call costs nothing.
Answered in person: the master electrician picks up, not a machine.
Price before we leave: you get the service call rate on the phone.
An honest ETA: if we can't get there fast, we say so immediately.
You call. Jean-Pierre answers in person, in English or French.
We assess on the phone. A few questions usually determine whether you need to cut power now and whether a visit is necessary.
You know the price first. The service call rate is given on the phone, before we leave.
We give an honest ETA. If we can't get there quickly, we say so immediately so you don't lose time.
Safety first. On site we eliminate the hazard before anything else, then repair.
Code-compliant work. All work meets the Quebec Construction Code, Chapter V, Electricity.
Where we respond to emergencies
Laval and Montreal are our primary areas, that's where our response times are
shortest. But we cover a large part of Quebec, and we travel further for
emergencies and commercial work.
Laval & Montreal
Primary areas, shortest response times. All Laval neighbourhoods and the whole island of Montreal.
Yes. Jean-Pierre Zakhia, the master electrician and owner, answers the phone himself. There's no answering service that takes a message and calls back the next day.
Is there a charge to call and ask a question?
No. The call and phone assessment are free. We'll tell you frankly whether your situation is an emergency or whether it can wait for regular hours, which will cost you less.
Are overnight rates higher?
An after-hours emergency call carries a higher service rate, as it does across the industry. The difference is that we give you that amount on the phone before leaving, not on the invoice afterward.
How far do you travel?
Laval and Montreal are our primary areas. We also serve the North Shore, Laurentides, Lanaudière, the West Island and the South Shore, and we go further into Quebec for emergencies and commercial work. Call and we'll give you a realistic ETA for your address.
How do I know if it's Hydro-Québec or my own wiring?
Check whether your neighbours have power. If they do and you don't, the problem is yours: service entrance, panel or circuit. If the whole neighbourhood is dark, check the Hydro-Québec outage map. When in doubt, call, we'll sort it out on the phone in a minute.
Do you handle commercial and industrial emergencies?
Yes. Retail, restaurants, convenience stores, offices, warehouses and industrial buildings. A walk-in cooler, freezer or production line down is treated as priority, because every hour costs money.
Do you work with insurance claims?
Yes. We provide the reports, photos and detailed invoices needed for a claim after a fire, water damage or power surge.
Are you licensed, insured and bonded?
Yes. RBQ licence 5600-9384-01, member of the Quebec Corporation of Master Electricians, liability insurance in force. Certificates provided on request.
While you wait for us
Call us first, we'll walk you through your specific situation on the phone. Here
are the basic safety steps in the meantime.
Basic safety steps
Shut off the breaker for the affected circuit. If you don't know which one, shut off the main breaker.
Don't touch exposed wires, and never touch an electrical panel that is wet, hot or crackling.
Unplug appliances on the affected circuit to prevent another overload when power returns.
If water is approaching electrical equipment, shut off the main and move away from the area.
Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips repeatedly, it's doing its job, it's protecting you.
If there is smoke, flames or a strong burning smell, call 911 first. The electrician comes after the fire department. When in doubt, call us and we'll tell you immediately on the phone.
Don't wait for an electrical problem to become a fire
