Electrical panel upgrades are essential for homes with increasing power demands. Modern homes require significantly more electrical capacity than panels installed in the 1960s-80s can provide. Upgrading from 60A or 100A to 200A service enables safe operation of modern appliances, EV chargers, and home additions.
Panel upgrades are often required for EV charger installation, basement development, and secondary suites. We coordinate with ENMAX and handle all permitting to ensure a smooth upgrade process.
Signs that your home needs a panel upgrade include frequent circuit breaker trips, the inability to add new circuits, flickering lights when appliances run, or planning major additions like basement development or EV charger installation.
Electrical Panels/Breakers 30 years or older are typically outside of their reliable lifespan and should be replaced to ensure wiring throughout home is properly protected.
We begin with a comprehensive load calculation to determine your home's electrical needs. We coordinate with ENMAX for service upgrades, handle all City of Calgary permits, and ensure the new panel meets current codes. The upgrade typically includes replacing the main panel, upgrading the service entrance, and ensuring proper grounding and bonding systems are in place.
Upgrading to 200A service provides ample capacity for modern homes with multiple appliances, HVAC systems, and future additions. This upgrade future-proofs your home, allowing you to add features like EV chargers, hot tubs, or home additions without electrical concerns. It also improves safety by eliminating overload conditions that can cause fires.
Panel upgrades require coordination with ENMAX, Calgary's electrical utility. We handle all communication with ENMAX, schedule service disconnections and reconnections, and ensure all work meets their requirements. We also obtain all necessary City of Calgary permits and coordinate inspections, making the process seamless for you.
Every project includes these essential elements to ensure quality, safety, and your complete satisfaction.

We just had power installed to our land and required a temporary panel installed. We found Nathan recommended on FB, so I called him. Nathan arranged everything from the permit to install. He even checked with me to ensure he was using the right materials.

Nathan has done several jobs for us in the past couple years: trouble shooting odd flicking lights in our home (yes, he figured out the issue!), adding new outlets, moving light switches and installing a new chandelier (including moving the electrical box in the ceiling).

Nathan was great - efficient and price was really fair. Fixed our electrical issue in less than 30 mins and we will be using again. 👍🏻
