Why Residential Wiring Isn’t Just About Power — It’s About Protection

Homes built before 1990 were wired for a world without smartphones, smart TVs, electric vehicles, or home offices. Today’s power demands are 5–10 times greater than what those systems were designed for. The result? Overloaded circuits, overheated wires, and insulation that’s brittle with age.

The Hidden Risk

Outdated wiring — especially aluminum or knob-and-tube — is one of the top causes of electrical fires in Quebec homes. These systems lack proper grounding and overcurrent protection. Over time, connections loosen, insulation cracks, and rodents chew through exposed wires. A single overloaded circuit can generate enough heat to ignite surrounding materials — often without warning. We’ve seen homes where the attic wiring was so degraded, the insulation had turned to dust. This isn’t speculation — it’s documented risk.

Insurance and Resale Concerns

Most home insurance providers now require proof of modern wiring before issuing or renewing policies. An outdated system can lead to denied claims, policy cancellation, or significantly higher premiums. When selling your home, a buyer’s inspector will flag old wiring — often forcing costly repairs or lowering your sale price. We provide full documentation and inspection certificates to help you meet these requirements with confidence — turning a potential liability into a selling point.

A Client’s Story: The Smell That Changed Everything

“We smelled something burning near our kitchen outlet — just a faint odor. We didn’t think much of it. When we called Expertise Bolt-Duc, Michaël found the wires behind the wall were melted. Our home was built in 1972 with aluminum wiring and no grounding. He rewired the entire first floor that week. We’re still shaken — but grateful we didn’t wait.”

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Signs include flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, burning smells, discolored outlets, shocks from switches, or if your home was built before 1980 with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. Even if everything “works,” aging insulation and undersized circuits pose hidden risks.
We replace all outdated wiring with modern, grounded NM-B cable. This includes removing old conduits, installing new circuits for kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and entertainment systems, upgrading the main panel, adding AFCI/GFCI protection, and ensuring full code compliance. We work room-by-room to minimize disruption.
Yes. Aluminum wiring requires special techniques to prevent overheating at connections. We use CO/ALR-rated devices, antioxidant paste, and torque screwdrivers to safely terminate connections — or recommend full copper replacement for long-term safety. We never cut corners.
Absolutely. We design and install dedicated 20A or 30A circuits for high-demand equipment like computers, servers, treadmills, or audio systems — ensuring they run reliably without overloading other circuits.
Most full-home rewires take 3–7 days, depending on home size and complexity. We schedule around your routine, protect your floors and furniture, and clean up thoroughly each day. We do not use subcontractors — every wire is pulled and terminated by our licensed team.
No — most homeowners stay in their homes during the process. We work methodically room by room, keeping essential circuits active where possible. We coordinate with you to ensure your daily life isn’t disrupted.
Yes. We obtain all necessary RBQ permits and schedule inspections at every stage — from rough-in to final. You receive full documentation proving your home meets current electrical safety standards.
While it’s a significant investment, rewiring is far less costly than a fire or insurance denial. We provide a detailed, transparent quote before any work begins — with options to phase the work if needed. Many clients find the long-term safety and increased home value well worth the cost.
Yes. Whether it’s your basement, kitchen, or attic, we can upgrade specific areas without a full home rewiring. We’ll assess your needs and recommend the most efficient, cost-effective solution.
We use only CSA-certified, copper NM-B (Romex) cable rated for modern loads. We avoid low-grade or non-code-compliant materials — your safety is non-negotiable.

Don’t Risk Your Home on Outdated Wiring

Old wiring doesn’t just fail — it can ignite. If your home has knob-and-tube, aluminum, or any system over 30 years old, it’s time to act. Your family’s safety isn’t something to delay.
