Frequently asked questions
A power cut decided in advance for work on the grid: replacing a pole or a transformer, tree trimming, connecting a new building. Hydro-Québec notifies affected customers before the work and publishes the planned window in its data feed; this page shows that feed, refreshed every 15 minutes.
So the next one does not hit as hard
A power station takes over with no gas and no noise, and it is safe to use indoors. Three sizes, from the router to the whole house, from Jackery and EcoFlow.

A few hours
Router, phones, lamps
The size that covers lighting, a laptop and the internet through an outage.
About 1,000 Wh
More devices, for longer
Enough power for larger appliances, and a fast wall recharge once the power is back.
The whole house
Tied into the electrical panel
Tied into the panel by an RBQ electrician, the station powers whole circuits of the house during the outage. Have an RBQ electrician connect it

Price and availability: the manufacturer's store is what counts.
Never a barbecue, generator or camping heater indoors: carbon monoxide kills without a smell. An indoor-rated propane space heater runs with a window cracked open, a CO alarm nearby, never while sleeping.
Two ways to keep the power on: a portable battery for the fridge, the phone and a lamp, or an installed generator that takes over the whole house automatically.
Avoid the next outage: a generator installed by one of our certified contractors
A cut announced twelve hours ahead is the moment to settle the question for good. An RBQ-licensed electrician in your area calls you back with a price. Automatic transfer switch, propane or natural gas, RBQ declaration included.
