Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about electrical services from Expertise Bolt-Duc — from panel upgrades and EV chargers to licensing, pricing, and emergency response. Serving Saint-Jérôme, Laurentides, Lanaudières, and Laval with integrity since 2018.
Yes, I’m Michaël Bolduc, a fully licensed master electrician with RBQ License #5865-4567-01 in good standing. With over seven years of hands-on experience serving homes and businesses across the Laurentides, Lanaudières, and Laval, I ensure every job meets or exceeds Quebec’s Construction Code, Chapter V – Electricity. No subcontractors. No shortcuts. Just certified, reliable work.
Yes — during business hours (7 am to 4 pm), I respond to urgent electrical issues the same day. For critical situations like sparking outlets, burning smells, or total power loss, I guarantee a response within 24 hours, even if you call after hours. For life-threatening emergencies (smoke, fire), always call 911 first. My emergency line is 450 822-8739.
Panel upgrades typically range from $1,800 to $3,500, depending on whether you need a 100A to 200A upgrade, the age of your home’s wiring, accessibility of the panel, and whether additional code updates are required (like grounding or GFCI additions). I provide free, no-obligation on-site quotes with a detailed breakdown — no hidden fees, no surprises.
I serve homeowners and businesses throughout the Laurentides, Lanaudières, and Laval. This includes Saint-Jérôme, Mirabel, Terrebonne, Repentigny, Laval-des-Rapides, Chomedey, Sainte-Rose, Boisbriand, Blainville, Sainte-Agathe, Prévost, and surrounding communities. If you’re within these regions, I’ll come to you — travel is included at no extra cost.
Absolutely. I specialize in professional Level 2 EV charger installations with dedicated 240V circuits, load calculations, and full compliance with Quebec’s electrical code. I handle everything: permit applications, panel assessments, wiring, and even guide you through provincial rebate programs like Roulez vert to help you save money. Most installations are completed in one day.
Yes — every project comes with a full warranty on both labor and materials. I use only CSA-certified components and follow the Quebec Construction Code to the letter. If an issue arises after completion — even months later — I’ll return to fix it at no charge. My reputation is built on trust, not just wires.
I aim to provide a written, itemized quote within 24 hours of your initial contact. For most projects, I can schedule an on-site visit within 1–3 business days. Emergency assessments are prioritized. All quotes are free, detailed, and come with zero obligation — you’re under no pressure to proceed.
Yes — and it’s included at no extra charge. I manage all necessary paperwork with the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ), submit permit applications, and coordinate inspections on your behalf. You’ll receive documentation confirming your installation is fully compliant, giving you peace of mind and protecting your property value.
I accept cash, Interac e-Transfer, debit cards, and major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). For larger projects like full home rewires or generator installations, I offer flexible payment plans: a small deposit to begin work, followed by progress payments, with final payment upon inspection and your approval.
Definitely. I specialize in upgrading outdated systems — replacing fuse boxes with circuit breaker panels, adding GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, installing proper grounding, upgrading undersized wiring, and ensuring adequate capacity for today’s electronics and appliances. I’ll assess your system and give you a clear, prioritized roadmap to safety and compliance.
Yes. I provide electrical services for small to mid-sized commercial clients including retail shops, restaurants, offices, strip malls, and multi-unit residential buildings. I understand the need for minimal disruption, energy efficiency, and code compliance in business environments — and I tailor every solution to keep your operations running safely and smoothly.
First, prioritize safety. If you see smoke, sparks, or smell burning, shut off the main breaker if it’s safe to do so, evacuate the area, and call 911 immediately. For non-life-threatening emergencies — like a tripped panel, flickering lights, or no power — call me directly at 450 822-8739. Do not attempt DIY repairs. Electrical faults can escalate quickly — let a licensed professional handle it.
