Electricians in Quebec

Q: How do I check whether a electrician in Quebec is licensed?

Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ): The business holds an RBQ licence in the subcategories it needs, is not suspended, and has posted its security bond. Working without one is illegal, and the client loses the bond protection.

Search Quebec electricians free, and see which ones the people you know already use.

What to check whoever you hire

CNESST attestation. Free to check, no account needed (check it here). Without it, an injury on your property can become your problem.
Liability insurance. Ask for the certificate, not the promise.
A written quote that says what is included, what is extra, and when payment is due.
Someone you know who hired them. That is what Pros We Know is for.

What to ask a electrician before you hire

What is your ECRA/ESA (or provincial) licence number?
Will the work be inspected, and who books the inspection?
Is the panel big enough for what I am adding, or are you quoting an upgrade too?
Can I see the permit before you start?

Where they are

The Quebec electrical businesses we hold, by city: Montréal (479), Laval (321), Québec (132), Longueuil (85), Terrebonne (82), Gatineau (75). The app searches by your own postal code or location, so the list you see is the one near you.

Why the pros your people use rank first

Pros We Know is not a review site. There are no star ratings and nothing a business can pay for. When you search, the pros your own contacts have used come first, then the ones people in your network trust, then licence-checked businesses nearby. What you see about a pro is who used them and whether they would rehire, from people you can actually ask.
