Rewiring & Additions




Reflection Electric rewires and upgrades residential electrical systems across Terrebonne, Mascouche, Laval, and the Laurentians. We replace aluminum wiring, upgrade knob-and-tube circuits, add new circuits for renovations and additions, and bring older homes up to current Quebec electrical code. As CMEQ-certified master electricians, we assess your entire electrical system before starting — identifying hazards, undersized wiring, and code violations so the work is done right the first time.
Reflection Electric handles the full scope of residential rewiring — from targeted fixes to complete whole-home rewires. We replace aluminum wiring with copper, install arc-fault and tamper-resistant devices where code requires them, add dedicated circuits for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, and wire new additions, basements, and converted spaces. Every project includes proper load calculations, circuit labeling, and coordination with other trades if your rewiring is part of a larger renovation. We route wiring cleanly through walls, ceilings, and floors with minimal disruption to finished surfaces.
Rewiring an occupied home requires planning and precision. Reflection Electric stages every project to keep disruption to a minimum — working room by room, patching access points, and restoring power as quickly as possible. We coordinate inspections, and ensure every connection meets Quebec electrical code before we close a single wall. Whether it's a targeted aluminum wiring replacement in a 1970s bungalow or a full rewire for a century-old Laurentians cottage, every project is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
WHY CHOOSE REFLECTION ELECTRIC
Rewiring Expertise You Can Trust
Electrical rewiring requires precision, experience, and an understanding of how older homes were built. Many Quebec homes from the 1950s through 1980s contain aluminum wiring, undersized circuits, or outdated installations that no longer meet safety standards. Our electricians have hands-on experience navigating these challenges — tracing existing circuits, identifying hazards, and installing modern wiring with minimal impact to your home's finishes. A rewire is also the ideal time to evaluate a panel replacement to support modern electrical loads.
From a single dedicated circuit to a complete whole-home rewire, we deliver clean, code-compliant work that protects your home for decades. We also recommend surge protection after any rewiring to safeguard your new circuits. Our CMEQ certification and RBQ licensing ensure every project meets Quebec's strict electrical safety requirements.

Everything You Need to Know
How much does home automation installation cost?
Reflection Electric's home automation projects start at $500 CAD and scale based on scope. Replacing a few switches with smart dimmers and setting up voice control sits at the lower end, while a full Control4 whole-home system with lighting, shades, climate, security, and audio integration is a larger investment. During your consultation, Reflection Electric assesses your home, discusses which devices and platforms fit your lifestyle, and provides a detailed quote covering hardware, wiring, installation, and programming.
What smart home platform should I choose — Lutron, Control4, or Alexa/Google?
Reflection Electric installs all three approaches and recommends based on your needs and budget. Lutron is the gold standard for lighting and shade control — rock-solid reliability, beautiful keypads, and seamless dimming. Control4 is best for homeowners who want centralized whole-home control of lighting, shades, climate, audio, security, and locks from one interface. Open-ecosystem setups using Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit offer the most flexibility and lowest entry cost — ideal for starting small and expanding over time. We often combine platforms, using Lutron for lighting and shades with Alexa or HomeKit as the voice layer.
Do my switches need neutral wires for smart home devices?
Most smart switches and dimmers require a neutral wire in the switch box to operate. Many older Quebec homes were wired without neutral wires at switch locations, which prevents standard smart switches from working. Reflection Electric solves this two ways: we can run neutral wires to switch boxes as part of the installation, or we can install systems like Lutron Caseta that work without neutral wires using their proprietary wireless technology. During your assessment, we check every switch location and recommend the best approach for your home's wiring.
Can you automate an existing home or only new construction?
Reflection Electric automates existing homes regularly across Terrebonne, Laval, and the Laurentians — no renovation required. Wireless smart systems like Lutron Caseta, smart thermostats, and Wi-Fi-connected devices can be installed in any home without new wiring. For more advanced installations that benefit from hardwired connections — like Control4 keypads, in-wall speakers, or wired sensors — Reflection Electric routes wiring with minimal disruption to finished walls. New construction and renovations offer the ideal opportunity to pre-wire for automation, but it's absolutely not a requirement.
What are smart home scenes and how do they work?
A scene is a single command that controls multiple devices simultaneously. Reflection Electric programs custom scenes based on how you use your home. For example, a "Good Morning" scene can open bedroom shades, raise kitchen lights to 80%, set the thermostat to 21°C, and unlock the front door — all triggered by one button, voice command, or schedule. A "Movie Night" scene can dim living room lights, lower shades, and turn off upstairs lights. We program scenes during installation and teach you how to create and modify your own.
Will smart home devices still work if my internet goes down?
It depends on the platform. Reflection Electric prioritizes systems that maintain local control during internet outages. Lutron Caseta and RadioRA operate entirely on a local network — your lights and shades work perfectly with no internet. Control4 also runs locally for core functions. Some cloud-dependent devices like certain smart plugs and voice assistants lose remote control without internet, but physical switches and local automation rules continue to work. We design your system so that essential functions — lights, shades, climate — never depend on a cloud connection.
How long does home automation installation take?
Reflection Electric typically completes a starter smart home setup — a few smart switches, a hub, and voice assistant configuration — in half a day. A whole-room Lutron lighting and shade system takes one to two days. A full Control4 whole-home installation with lighting, shades, climate, security, and audio can take three to five days depending on scope and whether new wiring is needed. During your consultation, Reflection Electric provides a specific timeline and schedules installation to minimize disruption to your household.
