What Consult-Elect does

Consult-Elect is a privately held Canadian electrical engineering services company founded in March 2000 by Jean Bozonat and headquartered in Saint-Hubert (Greater Montreal area), Quebec. The company specializes in the testing, maintenance, repair, and modernization of low and high voltage circuit breakers and related electrical power distribution equipment, serving maritime, industrial, and high-voltage utility sectors across Canada, France, and internationally. Its service portfolio spans eight core lines: circuit breaker testing, workshop testing, solutions and modernization (including plug-and-play replacements for legacy Westinghouse, Merlin Gerin, Selpact, DIS, and Sprecher and Schuh equipment), 24/7 repair and troubleshooting, on-site installation and commissioning, high voltage services up to 800 kV, SF6/N2/CF4 gas management, and specialized engineering studies (coordination, arc flash, harmonic).

Technical capabilities include primary injection testing up to 25,000 A, insulation testing to 80 kV AC and 100 kV DC, secondary injection protection relay testing, vacuum pole testing, and SF6 gas analysis. The company holds employee certifications in Schneider Electric products (Masterclass Micom, Masterpact, Merlin Gerin DA, Selpact) and serves as an authorized service provider. Field service representatives are stationed in Saint-Hubert, Quebec City, and Niagara Falls, enabling on-site delivery globally including aboard active cruise ships and naval vessels.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with quote-driven pricing on multi-year contracts and a direct field-sales GTM motion. Customers include Carnival Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, PONANT, Canadian Coast Guard, ABB Marine Canada, Siemens Energy, Hydro-Québec, Trench, Southern States LLC, Kruger, Wilhelmsen, and Entreprises LM. Following a recent management transition, Florent Mecca leads as President with Guillaume Carrière as Director of Operations. The company remains founder-owned, with no institutional capital, funding rounds, or parent company disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Global OEM of Masterpact, Micom, and Merlin Gerin switchgear/protection products. Operates an authorized service network that directly competes with Consult-Elect's certified-services model, while also being a key partner that supplies certifications and equipment.
• ABB: Global switchgear and electrical equipment OEM with its own service organization. ABB Marine Canada is a strategic partner of Consult-Elect for DC contactor modernization, while ABB's broader service network competes in adjacent HV testing and commissioning work.
• Siemens Energy: Major OEM of HV switchgear and energy distribution equipment with a global service arm. Siemens Energy is both a Consult-Elect customer and a competitor in electrical testing, commissioning, and modernization services.
• SNC-Lavalin (AtkinsRéalis): Major Canadian-headquartered engineering services firm with power systems, HV substation, and grid modernization practices. Competes for the same utility and industrial engineering studies work Consult-Elect performs.
• Eaton: Diversified power management OEM with a global electrical services business spanning switchgear testing, modernization, and field services. Competes with Consult-Elect across LV/MV equipment lifecycle services.

Direct peers

• Doble Engineering: Specializes in diagnostic testing, condition assessment, and consulting services for electrical power apparatus including transformers, circuit breakers, and protection systems. Highly comparable niche services firm serving utilities and industrials with similar testing methodologies.
• Megger: Manufacturer and service provider of electrical test and measurement equipment used in the same primary injection, insulation testing, and protection relay workflows as Consult-Elect. Overlaps in services for power distribution and HV equipment diagnostics.
• Black & McDonald: Large Canadian multi-trade contractor with substantial electrical services, HV testing, and utility maintenance operations. Comparable Canadian footprint and customer base (utilities, industrials) with broader scale.
• OMICRON: Provider of primary and secondary injection test equipment and engineering services for protection relay and circuit breaker testing. Closely aligned with Consult-Elect's testing toolkit and target customers (utilities and OEMs).
• POWER Engineers: Global engineering consultancy with substantial electrical power T&D practice including arc flash, coordination, and substation engineering studies — directly overlapping Consult-Elect's specialized studies and engineering services revenue line.
