Electrical
Panel upgrades
100 to 200 amp upgrades for heat pumps, EV chargers and basement suites, with the permit and city inspection booked for you.
Plenty of Edmonton homes still run on a 100 amp panel. That's fine until you add a heat pump, an EV charger, a hot tub or a basement suite. A 200 amp upgrade gives you room for all of it and replaces ageing breakers at the same time.
How the upgrade works
A master electrician does a load calculation first, so you know exactly what size you need. We pull the permit, arrange the disconnect and reconnect with your utility, and book the city inspection. On the day, the power is usually off for six to eight hours.
Signs your panel needs attention
Breakers that trip often, a panel that feels warm or buzzes, fuses instead of breakers, and older panel brands known for failing breakers are all reasons to have it checked, even if you aren't adding anything new.
A quote that explains itself
Your written quote lists the panel, the breakers, any mast and meter base work, the permit and the inspection, so you can compare it line by line with anyone else's.
Questions about this job
How long will the power be off?
Usually six to eight hours on the day of the swap. We start early so your power is back before evening.
Do I need 200 amps for an EV charger?
Not always. The load calculation tells us whether your current panel can take it, and sometimes a load management device avoids an upgrade altogether.
Who deals with the utility and the city?
We do. We pull the permit, book the utility disconnect and reconnect, and arrange the inspection. You just need to be home on the day.
