Why So Many Laval Homeowners Choose Expertise Bolt-Duc

Laval is a city of contrasts — from postwar bungalows with fuse boxes to modern condos with smart systems. Many electricians here treat Laval like a checklist. We treat it like home.

Licensed, Not Just Local

We’re not just “in Laval” — we’re legally licensed by the RBQ to perform all electrical work in Quebec. This means your work is documented, inspected, and protected. Many local “handymen” operate without licenses. Don’t risk your family’s safety.

No Subcontractors. Ever.

You won’t find a stranger in your garage. Every job is completed by Michaël Bolduc — the same person who gave you the quote. No middlemen. No surprises. No “I didn’t know that was extra.”

Transparent Pricing, Not Hidden Fees

We’ve seen too many Laval clients get hit with “unexpected costs” after the work begins. We don’t do that. Our quotes are detailed, written, and guaranteed. You approve every line before we start.

Better Value, Not Higher Prices

We’re based in Saint-Jérôme — not a high-rent Laval office. That means lower overhead. You pay for quality work, not marketing campaigns or corporate salaries. Our clients in Laval consistently say they saved 20–30% compared to local competitors.

CSA-Certified Materials Only

We use only CSA-certified breakers, wiring, outlets, and panels — never cheap, off-brand components. Your safety isn’t a cost center — it’s our priority.

Laval-Specific Experience

We’ve installed over 150 panels in Laval homes built between 1955–1985. We know the aluminum wiring pitfalls, the outdated grounding issues, and the code gaps in older subdivisions. We don’t guess — we’ve seen it all.

The Real Electrical Challenges in Laval Homes

Laval’s housing stock is aging — and most homeowners don’t realize how much their electrical system has been pushed beyond its limits.

The Problem: Outdated Panels in 1970s Homes

Over 30% of homes in Laval’s Chomedey, Sainte-Rose, and Fabreville neighborhoods were built between 1960 and 1980. Many still have 60A or 100A fuse panels — designed for one TV, one fridge, and a few lamps. Today? You’ve got an EV charger, a 50A air conditioner, a 30A oven, a 20A microwave, multiple smart devices, and a home office — all on the same circuit. The result? Tripping breakers, buzzing panels, warm outlets, and — in extreme cases — electrical fires. We’ve seen panels in Laval homes that were so overloaded, the insulation had melted around the wires. This isn’t a coincidence — it’s a predictable outcome of outdated infrastructure. We don’t just replace the panel — we assess your entire system, identify overloaded circuits, upgrade grounding, and install AFCI/GFCI protection where it’s needed. We’ve done this over 150 times in Laval alone.

The Problem: Aluminum Wiring in Older Condos

Many Laval condos built in the 1980s used aluminum wiring — cheaper than copper, but prone to overheating at connection points. Over time, aluminum expands and contracts with temperature changes, creating loose connections. This is one of the leading causes of electrical fires in multi-unit buildings. Most property managers and insurers don’t require upgrades unless there’s a visible issue. But by then, it’s often too late. We recommend a full inspection for any condo built before 1990. We’ve completed over 40 aluminum wiring assessments in Laval condos — and we’ve helped owners avoid insurance denials and costly repairs by upgrading proactively. We use CO/ALR-rated devices, torque screwdrivers, and antioxidant paste to safely terminate aluminum wiring — or recommend full replacement if needed. We never cut corners.

Laval’s Electrical Code Is Not “Suggestive” — It’s Mandatory

The Quebec Construction Code, Chapter V – Electricity, is enforced by the RBQ. Ignoring it isn’t just risky — it’s illegal. If you’re selling your home, your insurance company may require a certificate of compliance. If you’re renting, you’re legally responsible for safe wiring. We don’t just install wires — we ensure your system meets the law. That’s why we handle all permits and inspections on your behalf.

What We Do in Laval — Every Week

We don’t just show up once. We’re in Laval regularly — and we know what works, what doesn’t, and what homeowners are really asking for.

Panel Upgrades in Chomedey & Vimont

Over 60% of our Laval work involves upgrading 100A panels to 200A. We’ve done it in homes on Rue de la Perdriole, Rue du Parc, and Rue de l’Église — always with full documentation for insurance and resale.

EV Charger Installations in Sainte-Rose

We’ve installed over 80 Level 2 EV chargers in Laval — mostly in single-family homes and townhomes. We coordinate with the city for permits and help clients claim up to $1,000 in Roulez vert rebates.

Smart Home Integration in Auteuil

We’ve wired lighting, thermostats, and security systems for over 60 Laval homeowners. We don’t sell gadgets — we ensure your system is wired correctly so your smart devices work reliably.

Emergency Repairs in Fabreville

We respond to sparking outlets, burning smells, and power outages — often within hours. We’ve fixed fires before they started in homes on Rue de la Paix and Rue des Pins.

Commercial Work in Laval Des Rapides

We’ve upgraded lighting and installed dedicated circuits for restaurants, clinics, and retail shops. We work after hours to minimize disruption to your business.

24-Hour

Whether you’re in Pont-Viau or Laval-Ouest, we guarantee a response within 24 hours. No voicemail. No waiting. Just a licensed electrician who shows up.

Why Laval Residents Say “We’re Glad We Didn’t Hire a Local Company”

The truth? Many local electricians in Laval are overbooked, underqualified, or simply uninterested in long-term relationships.

“I called three Laval companies. Two wouldn’t come out until next week. One quoted me $4,200 for a panel upgrade — and didn’t even look at my wiring. I called Expertise Bolt-Duc. Michaël came the same day, spent an hour explaining what was wrong, and gave me a quote for $2,900. He even showed me the old panel — it was glowing. I’m so glad I didn’t go with the “local” guy.”

Marie-Claude L.

Sainte-Rose

“I needed a new outlet in my garage. The first electrician wanted to replace my entire panel. The second wanted to install a smart switch — for $800. Expertise Bolt-Duc? He replaced the outlet, checked the circuit, and said, “You’re fine — but keep an eye on this breaker.” No pressure. No pitch. Just honesty.”

Daniel R.

Chomedey

We don’t need to be based in Laval to serve Laval well. We need to care — and we do. That’s why we’ve built a reputation here not through billboards, but through quiet, consistent, trustworthy work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions about our electrical services in Laval

Yes — Expertise Bolt-Duc is a fully licensed master electrician with RBQ License #5865-4567-01, serving Laval and surrounding communities since 2018. While our base is in Saint-Jérôme, we regularly travel across Laval to provide professional, code-compliant electrical services to homeowners and businesses in Chomedey, Vimont, Sainte-Rose, Fabreville, Auteuil, and beyond. We’re not just a company that *claims* to serve Laval — we’re the electrician Laval residents call when they need safety, reliability, and integrity.
Many Laval-based electricians operate with high overhead and marketing budgets — which often translates to higher prices. Expertise Bolt-Duc is a lean, locally owned operation with no franchise fees or corporate structure. That means you get the same level of expertise, licensing, and quality materials — without the inflated markup. We’ve built our reputation on honesty, not advertising. Our clients in Laval consistently tell us they chose us because we’re transparent, punctual, and actually show up when we say we will — unlike some local contractors who disappear after the deposit.
Absolutely. Laval is home to thousands of homes built between the 1950s and 1980s — many with outdated 60A or 100A fuse boxes, aluminum wiring, and insufficient grounding. These systems were never designed for today’s power demands: electric vehicles, smart thermostats, air conditioners, and home offices. We specialize in upgrading these aging systems safely and efficiently. We’ve completed over 150 panel upgrades in Laval homes alone, replacing dangerous fuse panels with modern 200A breakers, adding GFCI outlets in bathrooms and kitchens, and installing proper grounding where it was never required — but is now essential for safety.
Yes — and we’ve installed over 80 EV charging stations across Laval since 2020. Whether you drive a Tesla, Hyundai Ioniq, Nissan Leaf, or Ford Mustang Mach-E, we handle the full installation: load calculation, panel assessment, permit submission, wiring, mounting, and connection. We’re familiar with the Roulez vert rebate program and help you complete the paperwork so you can claim up to $1,000 in provincial incentives. Many Laval residents don’t realize their garage circuits are outdated or undersized — we identify those issues before you pay for a charger that won’t work properly. Our installations are always inspected and documented for insurance and resale value.
Three things: accountability, communication, and consistency. We don’t send subcontractors. You work directly with Michaël Bolduc — the same person who gives you the quote, shows up on-site, and completes the work. No middlemen. No last-minute price changes. No “I didn’t know that was extra.” We also don’t just fix what’s broken — we explain why it broke, what else might be at risk, and how to prevent future problems. Most Laval clients tell us they’ve been burned before by electricians who rushed through jobs or didn’t clean up. We leave your home cleaner than we found it — and we follow up after the job to make sure everything works perfectly.
Yes — during business hours (7am–4pm), we respond to emergencies the same day. For urgent issues like sparking outlets, burning smells, flickering lights, or total power loss, call us at 450 822-8739. We guarantee a response within 24 hours even after hours — no voicemail black holes. We’ve helped Laval families during winter storms when their sump pumps failed, during heat waves when AC units overloaded circuits, and after floods when water damaged wiring. We don’t just fix wires — we prevent disasters.
Yes — we’ve completed over 200 electrical inspections in Laval and are fully familiar with the city’s specific requirements. Laval has unique zoning rules for multi-unit buildings, commercial storefronts, and heritage homes. We know which neighborhoods require additional grounding, which areas have strict setback rules for outdoor wiring, and how to navigate the city’s permit system efficiently. We handle all permits and inspections on your behalf — no need to chase paperwork. We’ve had zero rejections on inspections because we do it right the first time.
Definitely. We work with small businesses throughout Laval — from restaurants in Vimont to retail stores in Chomedey and medical offices in Sainte-Rose. We understand the need for minimal disruption, code compliance, and energy efficiency in commercial settings. We’ve upgraded lighting systems in 30+ Laval businesses, installed dedicated circuits for commercial kitchen equipment, added emergency lighting in office buildings, and rewired aging storefronts to meet modern fire codes. We work after hours if needed to keep your business running.
We serve all major neighborhoods in Laval, including: Chomedey, Vimont, Sainte-Rose, Fabreville, Auteuil, Duvernay, Pont-Viau, Laval-des-Rapides, Sainte-Dorothée, Laval-Ouest, Laval-sur-le-Lac, and Dollard-des-Ormeaux. We also serve the newer developments in the northeast — such as the areas around the Laval-des-Rapides metro and the new condo towers near the A-15. No matter where you live in Laval, we’ll come to you. Our service area extends from the Rivière des Mille Îles in the north to the A-440 in the south, and from the A-15 to the A-13 — we cover it all.
Every job we complete is inspected against the Quebec Construction Code, Chapter V – Electricity — the same code that governs all licensed electricians in the province. We use only CSA-certified components, document every step, and provide you with a detailed invoice and warranty certificate. We also offer free pre-inspection consultations if you’re selling your home or applying for insurance. Many Laval homeowners don’t realize that outdated wiring can void their home insurance policy. We help you avoid that risk by ensuring your system meets current standards — not just the minimum.
This is one of the most common questions we hear from Laval homeowners. Just because your lights turn on doesn’t mean your system is safe. Older panels (especially those with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Challenger breakers) are known fire hazards. Even if they “work,” they can fail catastrophically under load. A 100A panel from the 1970s can’t handle a modern home with a 50A EV charger, a 15A air conditioner, and multiple 10A kitchen appliances running at once. We’ve seen panels in Laval homes that were so overloaded, the breakers were warm to the touch — a clear sign of danger. Upgrading isn’t about luxury — it’s about preventing a fire. The cost of a panel upgrade is a fraction of what a home fire would cost — emotionally, financially, and physically.
Yes — and we’re seeing growing demand in Laval for smart lighting, security systems, and automated thermostats. But here’s the catch: smart devices need a reliable, properly wired electrical infrastructure. Many Laval homes have outdated wiring that can’t support Wi-Fi-enabled switches or whole-home automation. We don’t just install a smart switch — we ensure the circuit is properly grounded, the neutral wire is present, and the load is balanced. We’ve integrated Nest thermostats, Ring doorbells, Google Home systems, and automated lighting in over 60 Laval homes. We also help you choose compatible devices — because not all “smart” products work together. We’re not a tech salesperson — we’re an electrician who makes smart tech work safely.
