Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a panel upgrade to install an EV charger, electric water heater, or heat pump?

Most modern systems require a 200A panel for safe operation. We’ll check your major appliances, steam shower, sauna, hot tub, and other large loads to calculate your capacity first.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

A typical residential upgrade takes one full day, including coordination with your utility for disconnection and re-connection. Commercial panel changes typically take longer depending on how your building is designed.

Is a permit or ESA inspection required?

Yes, panel work always requires a permit and inspection. We handle all of it for you from start to finish and provide certificates of inspection when your project is completed.

Can I upgrade my panel without replacing the entire service?

In many cases, yes. We’ll evaluate your setup and recommend the best and most cost-effective option.

How much does a panel upgrade cost?

It depends on your existing setup, service size, and what you’re upgrading to. Most residential panel upgrades range between $2,000–$4,000 including labour, materials, permits and ESA inspection. We’ll give you a clear quote up front so there are no surprises.

What size panel do I need for my home?

Most modern homes benefit from a 200A service, especially if you’re adding an EV charger, heat pump, or finishing a basement. Older homes may only need a 100A panel if demand is low. We’ll calculate your load requirements and recommend what makes sense for you.

Will upgrading my panel increase my property value?

Yes. A modern electrical service is a strong selling point for home buyers, commercial property owners, and realtors. It signals safety, capacity for future upgrades, and compliance with current electrical codes.
