Gros coup de coeur pour cette entreprise qui peut venir autant pour un petit boulot (changer un luminaire) qu'un plus grand boulot comme une refilage. Les techniciens sont toujours gentils et prennent le temps d'expliquer les travaux pour les gens qui ne s'y connaissent pas. Nous avons aussi eu des urgences électriques et nous avons reçu un service rapide de fin de semaine (avec le prix qui vient avec, mais la paix d'esprit que cela a engendré en valait la peine).Lachlan Mckinlay · Google review
I don’t usually write reviews but the service here was truly spectacular I had to. I just moved into a 120 year old home in the plateau Montreal district and still had knob and tube electrical which needed to be gutted. Jim brown went above and beyond, and did a thorough inspection, answered all my questions and was extremely helpful. During the actual work, Jim and Auguste were exceptional, they managed to do a complete home rewiring 1400 square feet home in only 3 days. This included grounding every outlets, removing and rewiring hallways, dining room, added dimmers for all the lights, etc. They were even kind enough to add light fixtures I bought and covered all my furniture to prevent it from getting dusty during the process. They also cleaned upped and mopped after, this attention to detail is incredible. Their communication was very polite and professional and always asked for my input for the details. I felt completely at ease during this massive project because of them. I’m very impressed if you ever need any electrical help in MTL look no further than here.Marilyn Harrington · Google review
Electrika re-wired our whole house and did an amazing job - they were professional, always on time, very transparent on pricing and all round wonderful to deal with. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician for a small job or a major renovation.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!Veronica T · Google review
I have been a loyal client of Electrika for many years, almost since they started. They have done extensive rewiring of my house, as well as small jobs, here and there. I have always been extremely satisfied. I recommend them for any electrical job you may haveBernard Li · Google review
I hired Electrika to handle the rewiring of the basement in my home. Their electrician, Josh F, demonstrated a high level of professionalism. He was punctual, answered my questions with clarity, listened to my concerns and thoroughly explained the details of his quote to me. Throughout the time he was working, he communicated well and adapted seamlessly to my requests. I am very happy with his service and the service provided by Electrika.Carol Epps · Google review
I would recommend your company highly. Mohammed and Dylan spent three days in my home rewiring a playroom that has been behind walls for over 50 years. They were prompt, courteous and efficient and never caused us a moment of inconvenience. They explained everything they were doing and worked the day without interruption. They were a pleasure to have in the house. Carol EppsJames Ritchie · Google review
Dave is a highly capable electrician and is fully informed on all current code requirements. He works well with and assists anyone who is assigned to the job with him. Everyone is always on the same page. The safety of the client and the property are his paramount concerns. But keeping the client informed about the nature and progress of the work are a very close second. He always answered any questions that I raised. If a change or addition to the job became necessary, everything was fully explained and Dave did not proceed until everything was fully understood and agreed to. The work was done with as little disturbance to the household routine as possible. Dave is a very personable individual. It has always been a pleasure to have him working in our home. He has been to our house 4-5 times in the last 3 years or so for specific problems and most recently for a complete rewiring of areas not touched in previous visits. The team always cleans up at the end of the day and if the job takes longer, their materials are neatly stored out of the way or returned to the truck. It is such a pleasure to deal with an individual and an organization that is so capable and so dependable. If there is one shortcoming to this review it is that I am restricted to giving him only 5 stars. He worth so many more.Rob Hoffmann · Google review
This is the second time Electrika have worked on my house. The first time, they reconnected the electrical service after a tree fell in a storm and pulled it out. This time, the guys from Electrika rewire my home office (added new outlets, brought the room up to code, etc.) and installed a ceiling fan with the necessary switches. The latest interaction was the same as the first experience, perfect from start to finish. They adhered to COVID rules, were professional, on time, courteous, and once the work concluded, they left all rooms they worked in, the way they found them. Great experience and I’ll definitely use Electrika again.Lauren Brown · Google review
Electrika came to give us a quote for a job in NDG to require the whole house and upgrade the Knob and tube wiring. Their technician Alex was extremely professional, on time, and gave great detail about all the required work. Answered all questions. Such a smooths day pleasant process. Waiting on the quote- Looking forward to working with them.Marco Weber · Google review
Excellent service, de la part de Zafar qui est l'électricien qui s'est présenté chez nous. À l'heure, très courtois, travail de façon très professionnelle, propre et efficace. Faire ficher du filage dans une maison finie est un travail difficile et pas des plus agréables que beaucoup d'électriciens refusent de faire. C'est la troisième fois que je fais affaire avec ELECTRIKA et les deux fois, tout était super, de la prise de rendez-vous, jusqu'a à la fin du travail.Joe Pasztor · Google review
Ahmad was very helpful in walking us through the re-wire project for our basement (post flooding). He also pointed out some future work that wasn't considered that would help bring up the entire basement up to code. He was pleasant and insightful on not only the wiring project but also general construction tips! Looking forward to his quotation!Designed to improve safety and performance, the following rewiring solutions help bring your home up to code:

Electrical Wiring: A Security Case
If you are renovating your home, this is the best time to think about rewiring. It may be that the original wiring is not enough to support your needs. In fact, unless you have already re-wired your house, your electrical system is likely to be operating beyond capacity, presenting a fire or electric shock hazard.

What if my home does need rewiring?
Be aware that a whole house rewiring is a major project that can take up to three weeks to complete, depending on the size and layout of your home. However, by rewiring your home, you are investing in the value of your home, as wiring in the present day is stringently regulated and is a potential selling point for your home should you decide to move. It is also a highly recommended safety upgrade if your home is older than 20 years, and especially if your home has knob and tube style wiring, mostly in houses built before 1950’s.
As well, while rewiring may take weeks and cost thousands of dollars, unsafe wiring can destroy your home through fire in moments.

Our Rewiring Services include:
- Inspection and assessment of current wiring condition
- Knob and Tube replacement
- Aluminium wiring rejuvenation
- Addition of new circuits
- Whole house rewiring

Types of Older Wiring Knob and Tube
Knob and tube wiring was the standard from the late 1890s to just after the Second World War. It consists of porcelain knobs, used to hold the wire in place, and tubes, used to bring the wiring through wooden joists. It has two wires: a hot and a neutral and no ground wire. Knob and tube wiring is now considered obsolete and is mostly found in homes of 50 plus years.

Concerns with Knob and Tube wiring
- No ground returns wire, leading to a higher possibility of electrical shock.
- Any deterioration of wiring insulation poses a fire hazard.
- Insurance companies may not insure your home, or may charge a higher premium for homes with knob and tube wiring.
- Knob and tube was designed to have any excess heat dissipated by air, not be packed into modern wall insulation.
- Knob and tube is highly susceptible to mechanical/physical damage.

Advice for Homeowners
Here’s what we suggest you do if your house has knob and tube wiring:
- Have your wiring evaluated by one of our licensed electricians to determine if the system was installed or modified within Quebec’s building codes.
- Keep your appliance load as low as possible on each circuit.
- Any brittle or damaged wiring needs to be replaced as soon as possible due to fire and shock hazard.
- Have any existing knob and tube wiring leading to your kitchen, washroom, laundry room, or any exterior plug replaced. This is due to these areas needing a ground return socket (three prongs) for safety.
