Publish my request on the site: type of work, city, timing, budget, my description and checked photos, with no name or contact details. Share my name, email and, if I gave it, my phone with companies that reply (otherwise they reply through the site).

Once your email is verified, your project details (description and approved photos) will be sent to licensed companies near you, up to 15, stopping once you have 2 replies. Your request will be published on the site only if you chose that option above. Your contact details stay private by default, unless you choose to share them above.

How sending works

Your project details (description and approved photos) go out in waves to licensed companies near your city: up to 5 at confirmation, then up to 5 more after 24 hours and up to 5 more after 72 hours while you have fewer than 2 answers, up to 15 in all. Featured companies (promotional placement) that serve your city and whose licence covers the work receive it first. Your request is published on the site only if you choose the “Publish” option, without any personal information.

We do not promise a number of quotes: each company decides whether to answer. You choose yourself who to hire.

Privacy policy · You can withdraw your request at any time with the link you receive by email. It then leaves the site, and your name, contact details, description and photos are deleted at once. An unconfirmed request is deleted after 7 days; every request is deleted at the latest after 60 days.

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.
