Entrepreneur Électricien has been around since 1983, so they know their stuff! We appreciate that they handle everything from residential needs to large-scale commercial and industrial projects – it’s reassuring to know they can tackle jobs of any size.

What really impressed us was their 24/7 emergency service. We’ve had an electrical issue crop up late at night, and having Michel Guimont available was a lifesaver. Plus, their dedication to quality is evident – they even won the Consumer’s Choice Award multiple times.

But it’s their thermography diagnostics that we’re particularly fond of. It’ll help you catch a potential problem before it turns into a major headache.

Pros

  • Emergency services are available 24/7
  • Wide range of services
  • Eco-friendly and safety-compliant

Cons

  • A few reports of overcharging

Quick and efficient electrical repair

“​​Had a major problem that needed to be fixed quickly. Luckily I found Fred at Michel Guimont. He was fast and efficient and saved me from a major headache. The work was done well, and to code, and he gave me great advice on how to handle a couple of specific issues in my building (120 years old), so it has its quirks, which Fred was able to handle quickly and efficiently. He was also a very nice person, so made the experience great overall. Thanks again Fred … I will reach out when we have our next electrical issue!”

Offers timely and urgent electrical repair

“Fred the electrician called and showed up in a timely manner for my urgent situation has a light fixture/fan in bed with 15 15-foot ceilings that had fallen. His detailed exam and fix showed that he was aware of the weakness and fixed it solid the way it should have been. He also inspected the other similar units in the front room and tightened up the parts that were lost and could have caused another incident. Thanks, Fred and Team Guimont…Great Work… Highly recommend…Edward”

One of the things we love about Electrika is their focus on both the practical and the aesthetic side of home electrical work. 

Their lighting solutions have transformed so many spaces, from adding functional undercabinet kitchen lighting to a complete outdoor security lighting system that makes us feel safer. 

We appreciate their commitment to quality – the 3-year guarantee on their work will give you peace of mind. The upfront pricing model means there are never any hidden surprises, which we really like.  

And, their 24/7 emergency service is a lifesaver when an electrical issue pops up unexpectedly. Plus, being able to book appointments online is super convenient.

Pros

  • 24/7 emergency services
  • Online booking
  • 3-year guarantee

Cons

  • Premium pricing

Has courteous and professional electricians

“I have used Electrika in the past and they are very courteous. They treat your house as if it’s their own. They wear booties over their shoes to protect their floors from the outside elements. They explain everything that they are going to do before they start and what they have done when they have finished. They clean up nicely when finished and they cover everything in their surroundings to protect your belongings. John and Andre, if I were any younger, I would love to work for you and your company for we have the same respect and work ethic. I will call you back in a heartbeat if I have any other major electrical work that would be needed.”

Outstanding workmanship and attention to detail

“Mohammed was amazing! Highly professional and his attention to providing great customer care was appreciated. He has the heart of a teacher, ensured I understood the work that was going to be done and answered all my questions. The work done was amazing, attention to detail was above and beyond, and the cleanup once the job was done was perfect. I’d give more stars if I could!!”

Opening hours:

  • Monday to Friday – 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Website

VOLTCOM INC. has been around since 2010, and their commitment to working within the guidelines of the Corporation des Maîtres Électriciens du Québec (CMEQ) assures you that you’re getting licensed professionals for the job.

We actually have staff who’ve used Voltcom Inc. for various projects, from a major kitchen renovation that required rewiring to a simple lighting upgrade in a living room. They can handle just about anything electrical, including panel upgrades and service changes.

While you can’t book appointments or get quotes online, we’ve found their team to be responsive and helpful over the phone. They’ll set up a time for a free quotation and walk you through your project needs.

Pros

  • Reputation
  • Wide range of services
  • Free quotation

Cons

  • Limited operating hours
  • A few reports of high-pricing

Provides exceptional service

“Impeccable and excellent service. Stéphane Comtois is professional, punctual, very knowledgeable and friendly. He quickly fixed the issue (whilst explaining clearly what he was doing every step of the way), and offered his advice on many other electricity matters for the remaining hour (which were not the reason for my initial service call). I strongly recommend Voltcom Inc., and will for sure call them next time (whether for a residential electricity project or an urgent one). Reasonable and competitive prices as well.”

Gabrielle Daoust, Google Review

Goes the extra mile for clients

“Stéphane replaced a panel for us recently and all of the positive reviews here are true – he is very responsive, reliable, and knowledgeable, providing us with complete information about the repair that he was about to do. During his visit, he also mentioned there was an opportunity to take advantage of a government subsidy for the installation of a heat pump/air conditioner as long as it was done before the end of the year. We had planned to do this next spring, but thanks to Stéphane we will be getting a rebate of $1,600 and are looking forward to having him back to put in this week!”

Contact: +1 514-267-7467

Opening hours:

  • Monday to Friday – 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Mile End Électrique really shines when it comes to electrical repairs – one of our staff recently called them for a simple light fixture swap and rewiring during a renovation, and had such great things to say about them that we had to check them out.

What we find special about them is their focus on targeting specific needs. They don’t just fix the immediate issue: they take the time to assess your home’s electrical system and offer solutions that make sense. 

They even offer private courses to better understand a house’s electrical setup. Another bonus? If you live within certain areas, they often don’t charge transportation fees. This can make a big difference when you’re comparing quotes from different electricians.

Pros

  • Specialised services
  • No transportation fees
  • Detailed inspections

Cons

  • Limited service hours
  • A few reports of poor professionalism

Carefully listens to clients

“I had two appointments with Mil end electricians since 2023 December. Yann is very competent and professional. I needed to install new wires through many walls for the heating and install new light fixtures, and switches, Yann developed reasonable and practical solutions with efficient work. Fare price. (Compared with other companies I took in the past). They also carefully listen to my opinion and answer all my questions. They are technically very competent and honest. Recommend! Thanks for the service!”

Gives great recommendations

“Simon was very professional and came right away to look at the job. He made a few excellent recommendations and came back two days later to complete the work. He even had shoe covers for when he came into our home.  Nice touch and shows respect.”

5. Gercolec Inc.

Location: 5425 Rue de Bordeaux Suite 017, Montreal, QC H2H 2P9, Canada

Contact: +1 844-780-0302

Opening hours:

  • Monday to Friday – 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM

Website

Gercolec Inc. has been around since 2011 and they’re particularly known for their focus on efficient and well-priced residential services.

One of the people we talked to about them was another member of our staff who used them for various projects in the past year. Their testimonial matched what Gercolec’s other clients said about their reliability in everything from standard repairs to complete lighting upgrades. 

One thing we like about them is their expertise in more specialised areas – they can install charging stations for electric cars and help you explore solar energy options for your home.

While Gercolec isn’t open on weekends, their structured weekday schedule (Monday to Friday) can be quite convenient for some. It makes it easier to plan appointments knowing exactly when they’re available.

Pros

  • Expertise
  • Focus on residential services

Cons

  • Weekend availability

Has great attention to detail

“Eric and Alexis’ team are fantastic. They provided a quote and installed my Tesla charger. The service was professional and the quality of the installation was beyond anything I was expecting. Since the installation was done for a unit within a condo building, they recommended installing a junction box and wall support for all DCC boxes if other co-owners would be interested in EV charging stations. The administration is extremely happy with their work as the organisation of wires in the electrical room has significantly improved.”

Julien Liberta, Google Review

Has the best price and quality for EV charger installation

“I called Gercolec for an estimate on installing an Electric car charger. I had called other companies before. Gercolec had a MUCH better price than the other companies. They also did a better job at installation. I had to pass a wire in my basement, and other companies wanted to pass it through my ceiling which would have required me to paint and repair my ceiling. Gercolec’s technician passed the wire at a different location, which didn’t require any extra work on my side. The technician was extremely friendly and we chatted about a few things after he was done, he was always making sure I knew what he was doing and explained the process. They came the day they were supposed to, I paid the price they gave me in the estimate. The work took a bit longer than anticipated, but the job was well done so I had no issues. Would work with Gercolec again.”
