A practical starting point
DDO homes have changed over time. The electrical system should be assessed as a whole before adding another major load or replacing equipment.
Many Dollard-des-Ormeaux homes were built or expanded when 100A electrical services and aluminum branch-circuit wiring were common. Since then, kitchens have been renovated, basements finished and new equipment added—sometimes without a complete review of the home’s original capacity.
Today, the same home may need to support a Level 2 EV charger, heat pump, electric heating, pool, spa or another renovation. Electrilex reviews the existing panel, accessible wiring and planned electrical demand before recommending the right next step.
Electrilex serves homeowners throughout DDO, including established neighbourhoods around Westpark, Lake Road, Sunnybrooke, Westwood, Coolbrooke and Centennial Park.
Different parts of the city reflect different periods of residential growth. That local context helps us ask better questions about the original service, accessible wiring, previous renovations and the electrical demand being added today.
Our work in Dollard-des-Ormeaux has given us first-hand experience with electrical systems from different periods of the city’s residential growth.
In established DDO homes, particularly those dating from the 1970s, we still encounter aluminum branch-circuit wiring. We assess accessible connections, devices, previous corrections and signs of overheating before recommending an approved correction method or rewiring.
Sylvania, Commander and Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok panels can still be encountered in established DDO homes. Age, condition, breaker availability and possible insurance requirements should be reviewed before renovations or major new electrical loads are planned.
A home originally supplied by a 100A service may now need to support EV charging, electric heating, a heat pump, pool, spa or renovated living space. We assess the complete load before recommending a 200A upgrade or an approved energy-management solution.
Each recommendation begins with the existing electrical system and the homeowner’s plans. The objective is a safe, practical solution—not a generic upgrade package.
We examine accessible connections, devices and previous repairs, then explain whether approved connection correction, CO/ALR devices or more extensive rewiring is appropriate. Documentation can be discussed when required for insurance.
Aluminum wiring details →We review load, breaker space and future demand before recommending a panel replacement, 200A upgrade, energy-management system or larger service. New panels include a 25-year manufacturer warranty.
Panel upgrade details →Panel capacity, load calculation, breaker selection, cable route and charger location are planned together. We install Tesla, FLO, ChargePoint, Grizzl-E and other leading residential charger brands.
EV charger details →Accessible panels, wiring, grounding, overloaded circuits and visible previous work are reviewed before purchasing, renovating or responding to an insurance concern. You receive practical priorities without unnecessary alarm.
Inspection details →Electrical planning for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and additions, plus troubleshooting for tripping breakers, partial power loss, warm devices, dead outlets and other residential electrical problems.
Residential services →A DDO home with aluminum wiring, a 100A service and several previous renovations requires a different plan from a newer home preparing only for EV charging.
We listen to what is happening, review the existing conditions and explain the choices in language that makes sense to a homeowner.
