    Best forpanel and service entrance upgrades in older Montreal homes and multiplexes
    In businessNot listed
    WarrantyNot listed
    EmergencyNot listed

    Why we picked them

    A small residential specialist with an unusually deep review record for its size, and a service list that reads like someone who genuinely spends their days on panel swaps and baseboard conversions. The website is bare bones and the two sets of published hours contradict each other, so call rather than rely on the page. Verify the CMEQ and RBQ registration yourself, then judge it on the written quote.

    What we like

    • 4.9 from 106 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read on September 30, 2026
    • Clear residential focus: entrances, panels, heating conversions and renovation wiring
    • States registration with the Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec
    • Experience across single-family homes, town-homes, multiplexes and apartments
    • Handles EV charger preparation, including the upstream capacity work
    • Google profile lists 24-hour availability every day

    Things to consider

    • Published hours conflict: Google shows 24 hours daily, the website shows Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm
    • No prices, warranty terms or service-area boundaries published anywhere
    • Commercial, industrial and low-voltage work are not advertised
    • Licence and CMEQ registration are the company's own claims and should be verified in the public registers

    panel and service entrance upgrades in older Montreal plexes

    Lumineau Électrique

    5.0(78 Google reviews)
    Best forpanel and service entrance upgrades in older Montreal plexes
    In businessNot listed
    WarrantyNot listed
    EmergencyNot listed

    Why we picked them

    A clean 5.0 from 78 Google reviews is a strong signal, and the naming of individual technicians suggests a small crew that shows up itself rather than subcontracting the work out. We like that the company's own FAQ declines to promise a fixed response time and explains what affects it, which is more useful than a slogan. Get the permit responsibility and the Hydro-Québec coordination written into the quote before work begins.

    What we like

    • States RBQ licence 5870-7720-01, CMEQ membership and liability insurance
    • 5.0 rating from 78 Google reviews, read September 30, 2026
    • Published hours show 24/7 availability for emergency electrical calls
    • Clear focus on panel changes, service entrance upgrades and generator installs
    • Service area spans the island of Montreal, Laval, Rive-Sud and Rive-Nord towns
    • Bilingual website and reviews in both French and English

    Things to consider

    • No fixed response window is promised; arrival time is confirmed by phone per call
    • Warranty terms vary by job and appear only in the individual quote
    • Review volume and tone suggest a small team, so ask about capacity for large commercial projects

    Monsieur Electrique Inc

    5.0(78 Google reviews)
    Best forpanel upgrades, rewiring and emergency callouts in older Montreal plexes
    In businessNot listed
    WarrantyNot listed
    EmergencyNot listed

    Why we picked them

    A clean 5 out of 5 from 78 Google reviews is the kind of record that does not happen by accident, and the service list covers the work Montreal plexes actually generate rather than a generic menu. We would like to see published pricing detail, since flat rate and 24/7 availability can mean very different numbers depending on the hour. Worth a call for panel upgrades, rewiring and EV charger installs, with the usual advice to get scope in writing.

    What we like

    • 5 out of 5 from 78 Google reviews as of September 30, 2026
    • Published hours show 24 hour availability, seven days a week
    • Covers both upgrade work and fault finding, from panels to full rewiring
    • Generator and EV charger installation handled alongside the panel capacity question
    • States it provides inspection reports and CMEQ documentation for insurers
    • Works for homeowners and for contractors on renovations

    Things to consider

    • Licence, insurance and award claims come from the company's own site and should be verified on the RBQ register
    • No published rates, so confirm whether after-hours calls carry a premium
    • Large industrial or specification-heavy commercial work is not described in the public material

    panel upgrades and EV charger installs in Montreal homes, with 24/7 emergency cover

    CR ELECTRIQUE INC

    5.0(120 Google reviews)
    Best forpanel upgrades and EV charger installs in Montreal homes, with 24/7 emergency cover
    In businessNot listed
    WarrantyNot listed
    EmergencyNot listed

    Why we picked them

    A clean 5 from 120 Google reviews is hard to argue with, and the combination of panel and EV charger work with genuine 24/7 emergency coverage is a practical pairing for Montreal. The published RBQ number is a good sign and easy enough to verify yourself. Just pin down after-hours rates and crew availability before a weekend call, since the profile says nothing about team size.

    What we like

    • 5 rating from 120 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read October 1, 2026
    • RBQ licence number 5849-8155-01 published on its own website
    • Hours posted as open 24 hours, seven days, with a stated 24/7 emergency service
    • Covers both residential installs and commercial or industrial repair and maintenance
    • Named point of contact for calls and quotes, which helps on multi-visit jobs

    Things to consider

    • Team size is not published, so availability on large or concurrent jobs is unclear
    • After-hours and emergency call-out rates are not listed anywhere public
    • Experience figures and project counts come from the company's own site, not an independent source

    renovation wiring, panel work and EV charger installs across Greater Montreal

    JG Électrique Inc.

    4.9(105 Google reviews)
    Best forrenovation wiring, panel work and EV charger installs across Greater Montreal
    In businessNot listed
    WarrantyNot listed
    EmergencyNot listed

    Why we picked them

    The combination here is slightly unusual: a small, owner-led shop with a review record most larger companies would envy, offering industrial power work alongside residential pot lights and chargers. The 4.9 average across 105 Google reviews is the number that carries weight, and the published RBQ licence makes verification straightforward. Treat the round-the-clock hours as emergency availability rather than a guarantee of instant dispatch, and confirm after-hours rates when you call.

    What we like

    • 4.9 average from 105 Google reviews, read September 30, 2026
    • RBQ licence number published openly on the company website
    • Covers residential, commercial and industrial work, so one contractor can handle mixed-use buildings
    • Dedicated EV charger service for homes and workplaces
    • Free written estimates with tasks and steps broken out
    • Emergency availability advertised outside 6am to 6pm, with 24/7 published hours

    Things to consider

    • Small owner-led team, so capacity may be tight in busy renovation months
    • Published 24-hour availability almost certainly carries an after-hours premium that is not listed
    • No pricing, warranty terms or service-area boundary published in the brief

    panel and service entrance upgrades in older Montreal homes

    K&E Electricien

    5.0(123 Google reviews)
    Best forpanel and service entrance upgrades in older Montreal homes
    In businessNot listed
    WarrantyNot listed
    EmergencyNot listed

    Why we picked them

    A perfect 5 star average across 123 Google reviews is unusual at that volume, and the review text is specific enough about panel swaps and service upgrades to read as genuine. We would treat this as a strong option for heavy residential work in east end Montreal, with the caveat that pricing and licence details need confirming by phone since none are published.

    What we like

    • 5 star rating from 123 reviews on its Google Business Profile as of October 1, 2026
    • Heavy electrical work is clearly the specialty, including panels and service entrances
    • Published hours list 24 hour availability every day of the week
    • Covers residential, commercial and industrial jobs under one contractor
    • Reviews appear in both French and English, suggesting bilingual service
    • Lists fire alarm, emergency lighting and intercom work useful to landlords

    Things to consider

    • No pricing, call out fee or after hours rate is published, so confirm by phone
    • The brief carries no RBQ licence number or insurance details, worth verifying directly
    • Review counts differ between the Google profile and the site's own testimonial widget
    • Appears to be a small team, so larger scheduled projects may need booking ahead

    EV charger and panel upgrade work in West Island homes, with Hydro Quebec rebates handled in-house

    Big G Electric

    4.8(180 Google reviews)
    Best forEV charger and panel upgrade work in West Island homes, with Hydro Quebec rebates handled in-house
    In businessNot listed
    WarrantyNot listed
    EmergencyNot listed

    Why we picked them

    The Hydro Quebec aggregator arrangement is the detail worth noticing here, because applying a subsidy directly to the invoice removes the part of rebate programs that homeowners most often abandon. We would press on the warranty wording, since non transferable labour coverage is less useful if a sale is on the horizon, and on after hours rates given the 24 hour listing. Strong review volume for a suburban electrical shop, and a service list that matches what West Island housing stock actually needs.

    What we like

    • 4.8 from 180 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read October 2, 2026
    • Publishes an RBQ licence number, named master electrician and CMEQ membership
    • Acts as a stated Hydro Quebec aggregator, applying subsidies to the invoice directly
    • Tesla certified installer covering home, condo garage and commercial charger work
    • Five year workmanship warranty, well beyond Quebec's one year legal minimum
    • Broad coverage from the West Island through Laval, Vaudreuil and the South Shore

    Things to consider

    • No prices or call-out rates published, so after hours charges need confirming
    • The five year warranty is non transferable and excludes materials, by the company's own description
    • Licence, insurance and partnership claims come from its own website and are worth verifying
    • A Pierrefonds base means longer travel for east end or South Shore jobs

Hiring

How to choose an electrician in Montreal

  1. Check the licence

    Electrical work needs a licensed contractor in every state and province. Look the licence up with the issuing authority, not on the company's website.

  2. Ask who pulls the permit

    Panel upgrades, new circuits and rewires usually need a permit and an inspection. The electrician should handle both.

  3. Get a written quote

    It should list the materials, the panel or breaker brand and whether patching walls afterwards is included.

  4. Compare two or three quotes

    On the same scope. A much lower number often leaves out the permit or the drywall repair.

  5. Ask about the warranty

    Separate the warranty on the work from the manufacturer's warranty on parts, and get both in writing.

  6. Confirm insurance

    Ask for a current certificate of insurance and, in Canada, proof of workers compensation coverage.

Questions to ask before hiring

0 of 8 asked

Red flags

  • An offer to skip the permit to save money
  • No licence number, or one that does not check out
  • Cash only, with no written quote
  • A quote that does not say what panel or parts will be used
  • Pressure to replace a panel that has not been inspected
