The Details

An outdated panel is one of the most common fire hazards in Ontario homes. Homes built before 1980 often have 60A or 100A panels that cannot safely support modern appliances, EV chargers, or HVAC systems. Our panel upgrade includes a complete load calculation, installation of a new 200A panel with copper bus bars, proper grounding and bonding, and ESA notification. We handle all permits and inspections.

Common Questions

Panel Upgrades FAQs

A 100A-to-200A panel upgrade in the GTA typically costs $3,200–$4,500 including the panel, labour, ESA permit, and inspection. Upgrading from a 60A fuse panel runs $4,000–$6,000 because the service entrance and meter base usually need replacement too.

Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that's warm to the touch, no free slots for new circuits, a 60A or 100A service in a home with central AC or an EV charger, or an insurance company flagging your fuse panel. A licensed electrician can confirm with a load calculation.

Yes. In Ontario every panel upgrade must be filed with the Electrical Safety Authority and inspected. We file the ESA notification, coordinate the utility disconnect/reconnect, and provide the certificate of inspection — which your insurer and future home buyers will want to see.
