📅 A New Era for Québec Consumers Protection Begins

As of October 5, 2025, Québec’s Right to Repair Law (Bill 29) is officially in effect. This groundbreaking legislation gives consumers more control, transparency, and protection when it comes to repairing their appliances and electronic devices.

The new law is part of Québec’s effort to fight planned obsolescence — when manufacturers design products to wear out or become obsolete too soon — and to promote sustainability through longer-lasting goods.

⚖️ What the Law Requires from Manufacturers and Retailers

Under Bill 29 and its new regulations, manufacturers and retailers must now:

Make replacement parts available for a reasonable period after purchase.
Provide access to repair information and tools, allowing both consumers and independent repair companies like Flash Repair to service products properly.
Disclose repairability information when selling certain durable goods, such as appliances, so consumers know what to expect before they buy.
Avoid deliberate obsolescence, which is now illegal under Québec’s updated Consumer Protection Act.

These changes mean fewer frustrations, fewer unnecessary replacements, and more savings for Québec households.

🔧 How Québec's Bill 29 Benefits You

This new right to repair means:

You can choose who repairs your appliance — you’re no longer limited to the manufacturer.
You can repair instead of replace, saving money and reducing waste.
You get clear information about how long your appliance can realistically be maintained.
Local repair experts like Flash Repair can now access better technical data to fix your product efficiently.

In short: this law makes it easier than ever to keep your appliances running longer — good for your wallet and for the planet. 🌎
