Details that help an electrician

An electrician needs to know the existing installation. Note the panel’s amperage (100 or 200 amps, for example, marked on the main breaker), its rough age and whether any fuses remain. Say how many circuits you want to add and for which appliances: range, dryer, heat pump, hot tub, workshop.

For an EV charger, give the distance from the panel to the parking spot and say whether the cable would run through the basement, a garage or outside. For a renovation, name the rooms involved and whether the walls will be opened. Give the year the building went up: in an older building, the company will want to see the wiring before giving a price.

Who is allowed to do electrical work

Electrical work in a building requires subcategory 16 of the RBQ licence. Most companies holding it get their licence from the Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec (CMEQ), which issues it to its members: that is why people speak of a “master electrician”. Check the licence number in the register before the visit and have it written on the contract.
