Why Backup Generators Are Essential in Quebec

Quebec’s winters are unforgiving. Ice storms, snowdrifts, and downed power lines are common. A generator isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity for preventing frozen pipes, sump pump failures, and loss of heat.

The Hidden Risk

Without backup power, a single outage can cause thousands in damage: flooded basements from failed sump pumps, frozen pipes that burst, spoiled food, and loss of heat for vulnerable family members. We’ve responded to homes where families were forced to evacuate because their heat failed. This isn’t a rare event — it’s a predictable consequence of being unprepared. A generator is the most cost-effective insurance you can buy.

Insurance and Resale Concerns

Home insurance providers increasingly view homes without backup power as higher risk — especially in regions prone to winter outages. A claim for water damage from a frozen pipe may be denied if a generator was available but not installed. When selling, a home with a professionally installed generator is viewed as well-maintained and prepared — increasing buyer confidence and perceived value. We provide full documentation, inspection certificates, and maintenance records — turning your generator into a powerful selling point.

A Client’s Story: The Storm That Left Them in the Dark — Until They Called

“We lost power for 72 hours during the ice storm. Our sump pump failed, and our basement flooded. Our pipes froze. We called Expertise Bolt-Duc the next day. They installed a 10kW generator — and now, even if the grid goes down, we’re safe. We’ve never been more grateful.”

— Éric M., Repentigny

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, honest answers from a licensed expert — no sales pitch.

Portable generators require manual setup, fuel refills, and extension cords. Standby generators are permanently installed, automatically turn on during outages, and connect directly to your home’s fuel line (natural gas or propane). They’re safer, quieter, and more reliable.
We calculate your needs based on essential circuits: heating, fridge, sump pump, well pump, lighting, and medical equipment. Most homes need 8–14 kW. We provide a free assessment to determine your exact requirement — no guesswork.
Yes. We install generators on concrete pads, away from windows and vents, with proper clearance and noise reduction. We follow all municipal and manufacturer guidelines for placement and safety.
Yes. The transfer switch is critical — it safely disconnects your home from the grid and connects to the generator. We install only CSA-certified, automatic transfer switches — never manual switches that require flipping breakers during a storm.
We install generators powered by natural gas (if available) or propane. Both are reliable, clean-burning, and require no refilling during outages. We handle fuel line connections and leak testing — ensuring your system is safe.
Most installations are completed in one day. We schedule around your availability and minimize disruption. We do not use subcontractors — every wire and connection is handled by our licensed team.
Yes. We obtain all RBQ permits and schedule inspections for generator installation and fuel line connections. We provide full documentation for insurance and resale.
