The Electrical Emergencies We Handle
Not all electrical emergencies are the same, but they all have one thing in common: they require a fast response from a qualified professional.
Les Entreprises CTM Électrique are trained and equipped to handle all electrical emergency situations throughout the Greater Montréal area, whether it involves an isolated incident in a residence or a major failure in a commercial or industrial building.
Power Outages and Service Interruptions
A total or partial power outage can have several causes: a faulty circuit breaker, an overloaded electrical panel, a damaged wire, or an internal network failure.
Whatever the cause, Les Entreprises CTM Électrique quickly locates the source of the interruption and carries out the necessary corrections to safely restore power.
If your outage is limited to certain rooms or circuits only, it is often an early warning sign of a more serious problem — all the more reason not to wait.
Critical Electrical System Failures
Some emergencies don’t cut power entirely, but they can paralyze systems that are essential to your comfort or operations: an electric heating system in winter, air conditioning during a heat wave, a failed water heater, or malfunctioning emergency lighting in a commercial space.
These critical system failures require a prompt response to prevent secondary damage — water damage caused by a poorly insulated water heater, loss of refrigerated goods, discomfort, or risk to vulnerable individuals.
Les Entreprises CTM Électrique diagnoses and repairs these systems 24/7, in both residential and commercial settings.
Overheating, Short Circuits, and Fire Hazards
A short circuit emitting a burning smell, an electrical panel that is hot to the touch, visible sparks at an outlet, or a circuit breaker that trips repeatedly are warning signs that should never be ignored.
These situations present a real risk of electrical fire. In such cases, shut off the power at the main panel if you can do so safely, evacuate if necessary, then immediately call.
Les Entreprises CTM Électrique at 438 483-4540. Our master electricians respond on an emergency basis to secure the installation before any other work is carried out.
Lightning Strike and Power Surge Damage
A lightning strike, a power surge from the Hydro-Québec network, or a current surge following a prolonged outage can cause significant damage to your electrical installation and equipment.
Damaged distribution panels, burnt-out appliances, and affected wiring — the consequences can be widespread and not always visible to the naked eye.
Following such an event, it is essential to have your entire installation inspected by a licensed master electrician before putting any systems back into service.
Les Entreprises CTM Électrique carries out this emergency inspection and brings your installation back into compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code.
What to Do While Waiting for the Electrician?
An electrical emergency can be stressful, but a few simple steps can prevent further damage and keep you safe while waiting for our technicians to arrive. Here is what we recommend.
Shut off the power at the main panel if the situation allows.
If you notice sparks, a burning smell, or visible overheating, locate your electrical panel and shut off the main circuit breaker.
Never touch a bare wire or damaged equipment, even if the power appears to be off.
Evacuate if you detect smoke or a persistent burning smell.
In this case, exit the building immediately, call 911, then contact Les Entreprises CTM Électrique at 438 483-4540.
A fire department response does not replace an electrical inspection — a master electrician will need to certify the safety of the installation before anyone returns to the premises.
Unplug sensitive appliances in the event of a power surge or returning current.
Televisions, computers, household appliances, and electronic equipment can be damaged by an irregular surge when power is restored after an outage.
If you have experienced a power surge or if power has been interrupted for more than a few minutes, unplug these appliances before service is restored.
Do not attempt any repairs yourself.
In Québec, electrical work must be carried out by an RBQ-licensed contractor. Any unauthorized work can void your insurance coverage and pose serious safety risks.

Feel free to contact us if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

Yes, Les Entreprises CTM Électrique offers a 24/7 electrical emergency service, available around the clock, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

To confirm coverage in your specific area, call us directly at 438 483-4540 and our team will respond without delay.
What is the difference between calling an emergency electrician and waiting until the next day?
Some electrical situations may appear stable but carry a real risk of rapid deterioration: a circuit breaker that trips repeatedly, an intermittent burning smell, or a partial outage can all precede a short circuit or an electrical fire.
Waiting can also worsen secondary damage — frozen pipes in winter if the heating is down, loss of refrigerated food, or water damage from a failing water heater. If in doubt, call us — our team will assess with you whether an immediate response is necessary.
Are your electricians licensed and certified to carry out emergency work?
Yes. All work carried out by Les Entreprises CTM Électrique is performed by master electricians holding a valid RBQ licence and who are members of the CMEQ (Corporation des maîtres électriciens du Québec).
This certification is mandatory in Québec for all electrical work and is a requirement of the majority of insurance companies.
Hiring an unlicensed contractor can void your coverage in the event of a claim.
How much does an emergency electrical call cost in Montréal?
The cost of an emergency call varies depending on the nature of the problem, the time of the intervention, and the extent of the work required.
Les Entreprises CTM Électrique provides a transparent assessment of the situation upon arrival at your location, before any work is undertaken.
To obtain an estimate or discuss your situation, call us at 438 483-4540 — our team will guide you with no obligation.
