Electrical Panel Upgrades in Montreal and Laval
Why could it be wise to consider upgrading your electrical panel? In Montreal and Laval, many homes have an electrical system with an average capacity of 47 amperes and 8200 watts (the norm in 1960). However, our modern kitchens use much more electricity than that – on their own! In addition, many older homes still have fuse boxes. These are often unable to support the demand for electricity or may have fuses with incorrect current levels. This is a serious fire hazard that could easily be eliminated.
In Montréal, the City’s RénoPlex grant can help pay for a new panel in a building with 1 to 5 dwellings. Apply and wait for the City’s approval before the work starts. See the steps.

Excellent service! Very happy with the installation of 2 electrical heaters in the basement. My cave has transformed into a studio! Good advice promoted by Hydro-Québec of the installation of a surge protector for main panel which was also done.Donald Gallacher · Google review
Zafar our electrician from Electrika was here 🏡 to evaluate our needs and determine the best solution and options for a new gas generator connection to our breaker box panel. Safety is imperative for any electrical installation hence Electrika is here to make it all good. Although only the first visit, I was impressed with everything. Zafar is most definitely a top electrician and quickly determined how best to proceed. It will not be inexpensive but thinking about the power outages and rain storms recently it’s a smart investment. Get your back up power sorted and hire quality technicians…call Electrika for services in the Montreal region. 👍🏼👍🏼✅jeffery brown · Google review

Brendan was great! He was very nice and polite and explained what he saw in our electrical panel and what would need to be fixed to ensure everything was done correctly. He even looked around to ensure there were no other "surprises" with our electrical in the house. Look forward to having Electrika perform the work to ensure we are fully up to code. Thanks so much.Paul Kasak · Google review

Very efficient and friendly technician who explained clearly all the steps involved in the installation of a backup generator electrical panel. Will definitely recommend.Daniela Lamorte · Google review
I had a great experience with Electrika! I was lucky enough to get Josh assigned as my technician. He was personable, knowledgeable and addressed all my concerns with my wiring/panel. He even took the time to alert me to some issues I hadn’t been aware of and explained my options whenever possible. The work they had to do (a rewire of most of my house, with some additions like outlets, sconces, under cabinet lighting, etc.) was super invasive which I found quite overwhelming, but Josh and Eduardo were patient and respectful of my spaces. My house is old and threw them some curveballs which they tackled with a great attitude. I can say I had a very satisfactory experience. I’ll definitely have them back for my future projects!Judy Wiszniewski · Google review
Josh was amazing he was precise, neat and very kind and very considerate to my needs. I live in the cote des neiges area and he presented on time and really worked with my time requirements. today he replaced my entire electrical panel and made sure that each switch was labeled. He went beyond and above. He answered all my questions clearly And in Laymans terms so I could understand. What a great contribution to the company. He was really fabulous. Also the estimate came exactly as quoted. I would also like to make a special mention for Rose who took my service call made extra arrangements for me considering my medical needs. She was kind and did her upmost to provide a very fast service call. Everyone at the company make me made me feel like family. thanks you for all of your help. JudyRoman Bobrowsky · Google review
Great company, fast and very professional service, second time using them. It's a bit on the expensive side, but you always get what you pay for. Josh was very knowledgeable, and helpful, even took extra time to check my house wiring and electrical breaker panel, suggested options and gave estimate. Definitely will call you guys again. Thank you for your great service!!Dean Dean · Google review
Had a subpanel with two 15A circuits run from the main panel to a tool shed 30ft away. Very professional, handled a couple of hiccups marvelously. Was on time and cleaned up thoroughly once complete. Highly recommended.Andrew Lindsay · Google review
