Switches and Outlets Installation & Replacement
Professional Switch and Electrical Outlet Installation and Replacement in Montreal
The Hard Truth About Switches & Outlets
Most electrical failures in homes don’t start at the panel. They start at switches and outlets, loose connections, worn contacts, overloaded receptacles, DIY installations, or outdated components never designed for modern electrical demand.
Amirco Électrique provides professional switch installation, electrical outlet installation, and replacement services for residential and light commercial properties across Montreal and the surrounding areas. This is not cosmetic electrical work. Switches and outlets are load-bearing components of your electrical system. When they fail, overheat, spark, or are improperly installed, they create real fire and shock risks. We fix that, correctly, to code, and permanently.

Switch Installation
Our switch installation service covers far more than swapping a plastic plate.
Types of Switches We Install
- Standard single-pole and three-way switches
- Dimmer switches (LED-compatible and load-rated)
- Smart switches (Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, neutral or no-neutral)
- Motion-sensor and occupancy switches
- Timer switches (bathrooms, exterior lighting, fans)
What We Actually Do
- Verify circuit load and compatibility
- Confirm grounding and bonding integrity
- Ensure proper wire gauge and termination torque
- Install code-compliant boxes and faceplates
- Test under load, not just power-on
This eliminates nuisance failures, flickering, premature dimmer burnout, and overheating—problems caused by lazy installs.
Electrical Outlet Installation and Replacement
Electrical outlet installation and replacement are among the most misunderstood electrical services. It’s treated like basic work. It isn’t.
Outlets We Install and Replace
- Standard 120V grounded outlets
- GFCI outlets (kitchens, bathrooms, garages, exterior)
- AFCI-protected outlets (where code requires)
- USB / USB-C outlets
- Tamper-resistant outlets (mandatory in many homes)
- 240V outlets (ranges, dryers—when applicable)
Common Reasons for Replacement
- Loose or worn receptacles
- Burn marks or heat damage
- No grounding in older homes
- Code violations discovered during renovations
- Upgrading for modern devices and chargers
Every outlet replacement includes load verification, polarity testing, grounding checks, and compliance with current Quebec electrical code requirements.
Code Compliance Is Not Optional
Many homes still contain:
- Ungrounded outlets
- Reversed polarity
- Shared neutrals without proper handling
- Overloaded circuits feeding multiple high-demand devices
These are not theoretical risks. They cause failures and fires. Our electricians install and replace switches and outlets in accordance with the current electrical code, not to whatever standard existed decades ago, or worse, to whatever the last homeowner guessed was acceptable.
Residential & Light Commercial
We perform switch installation, electrical outlet installation, and replacement for:
- Houses and condos
- Apartments and multiplexes
- Offices and clinics
- Retail and service locations
Whether you need a single outlet replaced or a full upgrade across multiple rooms, the standard is the same: safe, tested, and compliant.
