Looking for an electrician?

Reducing electricity consumption starts with understanding where your home uses the most power. In Canadian homes, electricity can go toward lighting, appliances, electronics, water heating, cooling, and, in many provinces, space heating. Natural Resources Canada notes that space heating and water heating are among the largest energy uses in the average Canadian home, which means small daily habits and larger efficiency upgrades can both make a noticeable difference.

Given the harshness of Quebec’s climate, where temperatures drop drastically in winter and humidity rises sharply in summer, keeping your home comfortable is a constant financial challenge. In 2026, the financial assistance landscape has changed, particularly with the closure of the main federal programs to new applications and the growing importance of provincial and municipal programs.

To install a Level 2 charging station, 240 V, at your home in Quebec, the electrical work must be carried out by an electrical contractor holding an RBQ licence, generally a master electrician who is a member of the CMEQ, to ensure compliance with the Quebec Construction Code. This professional installation is essential to ensure a safe, code-compliant setup and to qualify for the $600 financial assistance. By entrusting the work to an expert, you reduce the risk of non-compliance, streamline your insurance process, and better protect your investment.
