Why Panel Upgrades Are Not a Choice — They’re a Necessity

Many homes in the Laurentides, Lanaudières, and Laval were built with electrical systems designed for a single refrigerator, a few lights, and a television. Today, those same homes power electric vehicles, central air conditioning, smart thermostats, home offices, and multiple high-demand appliances — all at once. If your panel hasn’t been updated, it’s being asked to do more than it was ever meant to.

The Hidden Risk

Older panels, especially those with fuse boxes or known unsafe brands, can fail to trip during an overload. This allows wires to overheat — sometimes for hours — until insulation melts or a fire starts. We’ve seen panels where the metal casing was visibly discolored from heat. This isn’t a minor issue — it’s a fire waiting to happen. Electrical fires are among the top causes of home fires in Quebec. Most are preventable with a modern, properly sized panel.

Insurance and Resale Concerns

Many home insurance providers now require proof of a modern electrical system before issuing or renewing policies. An outdated panel can lead to denied claims or higher premiums. When selling your home, an inspection may reveal your panel as a red flag — delaying or even derailing the sale. We provide full documentation and inspection certificates to help you meet these requirements with confidence.

A Client’s Story: A Call That Prevented a Disaster

“We noticed our breaker panel was warm to the touch and made a faint buzzing sound. We thought it was just old. When we called Expertise Bolt-Duc, Michaël found the main breaker was failing — and the wires behind it were frayed. He replaced the entire system the same day. We later learned our insurance would’ve refused a claim if a fire had started. We’re grateful we didn’t wait.”

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Signs your panel may need attention include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing or clicking sounds from the panel, warm or discolored switch plates, or if you still have a fuse box. Homes built before the 1990s often have panels that can’t safely support modern electrical demands like EV chargers, air conditioning, or smart home systems.
The cost varies depending on your home’s age, panel accessibility, and whether additional wiring or safety upgrades are needed. We provide a free, detailed on-site assessment with a clear written estimate — no hidden fees, no pressure. You’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
Modern homes require more power than older systems were designed for. A larger panel ensures your circuits can handle multiple appliances, heating and cooling systems, and technology without overloading — reducing the risk of overheating, tripping, or fire hazards.
Yes. Fuse boxes are outdated and pose safety risks. We replace them with modern, code-compliant circuit breaker panels that offer better protection and reliability. This is often required for insurance compliance and home sales.
Electrical panel work involves high-voltage systems and must be performed by a licensed professional. In Quebec, only an RBQ-certified master electrician can legally obtain permits and pass inspections. Attempting this yourself is dangerous and may void your insurance or cause serious damage.
Most upgrades are completed in a single day. We schedule around your availability, minimize disruption, and ensure your home is left clean and safe when we’re done. We do not use subcontractors — every job is handled directly by our licensed team.
Yes, for safety reasons, your main power must be turned off during the replacement. We coordinate this with you in advance and aim to complete the work during daylight hours. We recommend preparing for a few hours without electricity — charging devices, having flashlights ready, and planning meals accordingly.
Yes. We manage all paperwork with the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ) and schedule your required inspection. You’ll receive documentation confirming your system meets current safety standards — essential for insurance, resale, and peace of mind.
We can. Aluminum wiring requires special handling to ensure safe connections. We assess your entire system and recommend the best path forward — whether it’s upgrading the panel with compatible components or addressing the wiring itself. We never recommend work that isn’t necessary.
We install only CSA-certified panels from trusted manufacturers known for reliability and safety. These are the same products used by inspectors and preferred by professionals across Quebec.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

An outdated panel doesn’t just cause inconvenience — it puts your family, your home, and your insurance at risk. If you’ve noticed buzzing, flickering lights, or an old fuse box — it’s time to act.
