Why renovate your
electrical system?

Electrical installations dating from before 1980 present serious risks: cloth wiring that degrades, absence of grounding, insufficient outlets, and overloaded circuits. These obsolete systems are responsible for numerous residential fires each year.

A complete electrical renovation by Arsenal Électrique eliminates these dangers and modernizes your home. We completely replace the wiring, install grounding, add necessary circuits, and equip your house with modern outlets and switches.

The result: an installation compliant with the Quebec Construction Code 2025, safe for your family, and ready for current technologies (electric vehicles, home automation, solar panels).

A complete electrical renovation is necessary if your house is over 40 years old with original wiring, if you notice two-prong outlets (without ground), cloth or aluminum wiring, breakers that trip frequently, or if you are planning a major renovation (kitchen, bathroom, addition). It is also mandatory when converting a building into condos or to obtain a compliance certificate.
The cost varies depending on square footage, age of the installation, and desired finishes. For an average single-family home (1,000-1,500 sq ft), expect between $5,000 and $20,000. This includes wiring replacement, grounding, new panel, modern outlets and switches, and Code compliance. We provide a detailed quote after a free inspection.
A complete electrical renovation generally takes 3 to 8 business days for a standard single-family home. Duration depends on square footage, accessibility of wires (finished basement or not), and project complexity. We schedule work to minimize interruptions and inform you precisely of the timeline.
No, you can generally stay in the house. We cut electricity section by section to limit interruptions. Some rooms therefore remain powered at all times. For houses with a single existing circuit, a backup generator can be set up for essential needs (refrigerator, basic lighting).
Code compliance corrects major defects to obtain the certificate of compliance (CCE) without necessarily replacing everything. Complete electrical renovation entirely replaces the installation: wiring, outlet boxes, panel, and adds grounding. This is recommended for houses over 40 years old or during a major renovation.
Yes, grounding has been mandatory since 1962 in Quebec. It protects against electrocution by diverting leakage currents to the ground. If your house does not have grounding (two-prong outlets), a complete renovation is strongly recommended for your safety and that of your family.
For a compliant complete renovation, we recommend replacing everything to ensure uniformity, reliability, and warranty. However, if some elements are recent and compliant (less than 10 years), they can be kept upon request. We evaluate each case during inspection.
Absolutely. A modern, compliant electrical installation is a major asset for resale. Buyers and inspectors systematically check the electrical condition. A house with new wiring, grounding, and a modern panel sells faster and at a better price. It is often a decisive criterion.
