In short
- Dollard-des-Ormeaux is the most populous suburb on Montréal Island: 48,403 residents in 2021.
- About 61.8% of homes were built from 1961 to 1980, and about 75.3% of households own their home.
- One dwelling in six is a row house: with a charger, how far the panel is matters a lot.
- A load calculation comes before any charger; a load controller often avoids touching the service entrance.
What we do in Dollard-des-Ormeaux
We work in Dollard-des-Ormeaux, a neighbour of Pierrefonds-Roxboro on our area page. We do planned work there, residential and commercial, always after a visit.
At the panel, we replace fuses with breakers, go up to 200 A or add a subpanel; the service entrance is redone up to 400 A, mast included if needed.
We also install Level 2 chargers, connect generators through a transfer switch, and handle the electrical side of a kitchen, a bathroom or a basement being finished.

Get a quoteThe most populous suburb on the island
First a bedroom community in the early 1960s, Dollard-des-Ormeaux was part of Montréal from 2002 to 2006, before becoming a city again.
The 2021 census counts 17,385 occupied dwellings. Single-detached houses dominate, but row houses and apartment buildings also weigh in.
| Type of dwelling | Number (share) | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Single-detached house | 9,860 (about 56.7%) | The headroom left in the 100 A panel installed when the house was built, before a heat pump or a charger. |
| Row house | 2,895 (about 16.7%) | The cable route to the parking spot, often the longest. |
| Building under five storeys | 2,805 (about 16.1%) | Each unit’s own supply. |
| Building of five storeys or more | 1,430 (about 8.2%) | In a condo, access to the common areas, which goes through the board. |
Only about 5.6% of homes predate 1961: most homes date from the 1960s and 1970s.
An EV charger in a row house
Same charger, two neighbouring houses, two different quotes: what weighs most is how far the charger is from the panel, then the cable route, the panel’s condition and the mounting spot.
Before any charger, we run the load calculation. When the margin is thin, a load controller (load shedding) can often spare you a new service entrance.
Network, paperwork and payment
Dollard-des-Ormeaux is not among the municipal power systems represented by the AREQ. When the power has to be cut, we ask Hydro-Québec ourselves.
Nothing to pay up front: you get a free written price, and the invoice comes at the end.

Frequently asked questions in Dollard-des-Ormeaux
Do you go to Dollard-des-Ormeaux?
Yes, it’s a neighbouring area of Pierrefonds-Roxboro, where we work for houses, plexes and businesses. In an outage, phone 438-542-7304.
Can my row house get an EV charger?
The load calculation will tell. The distance to the panel and the cable route mostly drive the price; a load controller often avoids touching the service entrance.
Does an EV charger mean upgrading to 200 amps?
Not always. With a load controller, many houses keep their 100 amp service when adding a charger; the load calculation decides.
What about replacing the panel?
The price, the time without power and the paperwork are on our panel replacement page for Dollard-des-Ormeaux (in French).
