Electrical Panel Replacement.

Obvious signs: panel with fuses (obsolete system), full panel with no room to add circuits, breakers that trip frequently, panel overheating (burning smell), or panel over 30 years old. If your Eastern Townships home has never had an electrical upgrade, an assessment is recommended to evaluate safety and current capacity.

Amperage depends entirely on your actual needs. We calculate your current consumption (heating, air conditioning, appliances, special equipment) and your future plans (heat pump, charging station, workshop, extension). The goal is to size exactly what's needed — neither under-equipped nor unnecessarily oversized.

We schedule with Hydro-Québec for an outage of generally 4 to 6 hours. We inform you in advance so you can plan (keep food cool, etc.). Our team of three works efficiently to minimize time without electricity. We keep you informed at every stage.

It depends on the condition of the existing wiring. If your wires are copper and in good condition, we can reconnect the new panel to the existing wiring. If you have aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, we recommend a complete replacement for safety. We assess honestly during the quote, without pressure.

We install exclusively certified panels approved for the Canadian market, with space for future extensions. All include modern breakers: standard, ARC-Fault (protection against arc faults, a cause of fires) and GFCI (protection against electrocution). These safety technologies didn't exist in old panels.

Absolutely. Modern panels include ARC-Fault breakers that detect electrical arcs (the main cause of electrical fires) and GFCIs for wet areas. The design itself is safer, with robust bus bars and optimized connections. It's a major investment in your family's and property's safety.
