In short
- About 43.7% of Dorval’s homes predate 1961, more than any other period.
- As many apartments as single-detached houses: 3,970 of each out of 8,715 occupied dwellings in 2021.
- About 40.3% of households rent: in a plex, each unit’s supply is checked separately.
- Dorval is on Hydro-Québec’s network, and the paperwork for a shutdown is ours to handle.
Our services in Dorval
Dorval is one of the neighbouring areas on our Lachine page, and we work there as everywhere on the island of Montréal, in residential and commercial settings. Every project starts with a visit.
- Electrical panel. No more fuses: a breaker panel, an upgrade to 200 A or a subpanel, depending on what the load calculation says.
- Service entrance. A new 200, 320 or 400 A service, with a corroded mast replaced during the same shutdown.
- EV charger. Usually a FLO Home X3; yours too, if it carries a certification mark recognized in Canada.
- Generator. A manual transfer switch for a portable, an automatic one for a standby unit; the gas work goes to a gas contractor.
- Small jobs. Baseboard heaters, thermostats, GFCI outlets, pot lights or a 240 V outlet: we group them into one visit, and the estimate is free.
A general electrical project? Your contact details and a few questions are all it takes.
Get a quoteDorval, the airport city
Montréal–Trudeau airport takes up about 60% of Dorval’s land. Merged into Montréal in 2002, the city was reconstituted in 2006.
In the 2021 census, 19,302 people lived there, in 8,715 occupied dwellings. Housing is split almost evenly between houses and apartments.
| Type of dwelling | Number (share) | What we check first |
|---|---|---|
| Single-detached house | 3,970 (about 45.6%) | The panel, service entrance and mast, measured together before adding an appliance. |
| Building under five storeys | 3,100 (about 35.6%) | Each unit’s supply and protection, clearly identified. |
| Building of five storeys or more | 870 (about 10.0%) | For a condo charger, the board’s approval for the common areas. |
| Semi-detached or row house | 545 (about 6.3%) | For an EV charger, the cable length to the parking spot. |
About 43.7% of the housing stock predates 1961, and about 27.0% was built between 1961 and 1980; some of these houses still have fuses.
Hydro-Québec and permits
Unlike Westmount, Dorval has no municipal power system of its own: it is fed by Hydro-Québec’s network.
If a panel or service entrance has to be de-energized, we request the shutdown from Hydro-Québec, and you know ahead of time when to expect the shutdown.
For our part of the work, the permit and the declaration of work, when they apply, are also our job.
How we work
You describe the project, a master electrician comes to see it and calculates the load if an appliance is being added, then the detailed quote reaches you in writing. No fixed price over the phone, and you pay at the end.
An emergency in Dorval
A breaker that won’t stay on, half the house in the dark, a smell near the panel: call 438-542-7304, day or night.
