What to know about Generator installation

A home generator keeps essential circuits running when the grid goes down, whether an ice storm leaves the neighbourhood dark for days or a summer thunderstorm cuts the power for an afternoon. Generator installation covers two quite different setups: a portable generator that you wheel outside and connect through a power inlet and a transfer switch or interlock, and a standby generator permanently installed beside the house that starts on its own when the power fails.

How to choose electricians in Saint-Laurent

Hire a licensed electrician or electrical contractor for any wiring, panel or new circuit work.
Ask whether the work needs a permit and inspection, and make sure the electrician arranges it.
Get a written quote that lists fixtures, materials, patching of walls and ceilings, and permit costs.
For panel upgrades and EV chargers, ask them to check whether your electrical service can handle the added load.
Choose someone who explains what they found in plain language before starting.

Questions to ask electricians before you hire

Are you licensed for electrical work in my province?
Will you get the permit and arrange the inspection?
Can my current panel and service handle this work?
Will you need to open walls or ceilings, and who patches them afterwards?
Is the price fixed, or could it change once you see the existing wiring?
What warranty do you offer on your work?

Generator installation permits in Quebec

Some generator installation work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

This type of work often has to be done by a licensed or certified trade. Ask to see licences and proof of insurance before work starts.

Common generator installation questions

Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?

Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.

How many pros will contact me?

We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.

Do I have to hire someone?

No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
