Request my quotes →In Montreal and surrounding areas, many houses and plexes were built decades ago, with electrical systems that no longer meet today’s needs. A heat pump, an EV charger, a renovated kitchen or a finished basement all add load to your electrical panel. In Quebec, where homes are often heated with electricity, a safe and properly sized system is essential for getting through the winter with peace of mind.
Electrical work isn’t a do-it-yourself job: it must be done by a qualified contractor. With estimations.pro, a single request lets you receive up to 4 quotes from electricians in your area and compare them easily.

What affects the price
Prices vary from one project to another depending on several factors. Here’s what shapes your electrician quotes:
- Type of work: simple addition, panel replacement or new installation
- Capacity of your current electrical service
- Access to the wiring: finished walls, ceilings, finished basement
- Age and condition of the existing system
- Equipment chosen: fixtures, EV charger, panel
- Coordination with Hydro-Québec when the service entrance needs to be changed
- Season and electrician availability
- Your area, as prices vary from one city to another
To compare fairly, ask each electrician for a detailed quote covering the same work. Check whether materials, drywall patching after wires are run and coordination with Hydro-Québec are included or billed separately. A lower total sometimes just means a narrower scope, so read each line before you decide.
How to choose an electrician
- CMEQ membership: in Quebec, electrical contractors must be members of the Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec (CMEQ). Ask for their member number and check it.
- Liability insurance: ask for proof of valid coverage.
- Written, detailed quote: labour, materials, timeline and warranties.
- Declaration of work: ask the electrician how the work will be declared under the applicable rules.
- Reviews and references: read reviews from customers in your area.
- Payment: never pay for the whole job upfront, and always get an invoice.
Electrical tips
- Don’t do it yourself: electrical work carries real risks of fire and electric shock.
- Plan before winter: a heat pump or extra baseboard heaters are easier to install before the cold sets in.
- Subsidies: for an EV charger or a heat pump, assistance programs may exist (for example from Hydro-Québec or government energy efficiency programs), so check which programs are currently available.
- Permits: some work requires a permit from your municipality, so check with your city.
- Think ahead: if you plan to buy an electric vehicle or add a heat pump, mention it in your request for electrician quotes.
Preparing your quote request
To get comparable quotes, describe your needs clearly: the number of outlets or light fixtures, where you’d like an EV charger, which appliances you plan to add and how easy it is to reach the electrical panel. A photo of your panel, including the label showing its capacity, helps the electrician judge whether an upgrade is needed.
Some warning signs deserve a prompt check: breakers that trip often, flickering lights, outlets that feel warm or a burning smell. In those cases, turn off the affected circuit and call an electrician without delay. In a condo, also check with the syndicate before installing an EV charger in a shared parking area, as approval may be required.
