We guarantee our electrical panel installation and related labour against defects in workmanship for five (5) years from the completion date. If any issue arises due to improper installation under normal use, we’ll return to correct it at no additional labour cost. This warranty covers our installation work only and does not extend to parts, equipment failures, misuse, alterations by others, or external damage (e.g., storms or surges). Manufacturer warranties remain separate and apply per their terms.

Typical panel upgrade costs in the GTA range from $1,800–$5,000+, depending on panel size (e.g., 100A → 200A), wiring condition, service upgrades, and permit/inspection needs. We provide detailed, no-obligation quotes after inspection.

Most panel upgrades are completed in 4–8 hours. Your power will usually be off for 2–4 hours during the changeover. We coordinate with your utility provider (e.g., Toronto Hydro) to minimize disruption.

Yes, Ontario Electrical Safety Code requires permits and ESA inspection for panel upgrades. We handle the permit application, scheduling, and final Electrical Safety Authority inspection for you.

We install quality panels from Square D, Siemens, Eaton, and GE that meet Ontario code and reliability standards. We avoid problematic legacy brands like Federal Pacific (FPE) and Zinsco. Your quote will include brand options and pricing.

Many older homes in the GTA still run on 60-amp fuse boxes or basic 100-amp panels. These systems were designed decades ago, long before electric vehicles, induction stoves, or even central AC were common. 60-amp systems often can’t legally support modern appliances and won’t pass ESA inspections if you’re renovating or selling. 100-amp panels can run essentials, but may struggle if you add things like an EV charger, basement suite, or a heat pump. 200-amp service gives you room to grow: more circuits, larger appliances, safer capacity, and future-ready upgrades (like ev charging, solar, hot tubs, or home offices). In short: 60–100 amps limit what your home can handle. 200 amps unlocks flexibility, value, and safety.

Yes. Federal Pacific (FPE) and Zinsco panels have a well-documented history of safety failures, including circuit breakers that fail to trip during overloads, which can cause overheating and electrical fires. These brands are not approved under Ontario’s current Electrical Safety Code and are often flagged during home inspections. If you have one, it’s strongly recommended to replace it. We offer priority service for urgent panel replacements.

Yes, especially in the GTA housing market. In cities like Toronto, Mississauga, and Oakville, buyers expect modern electrical systems. Upgrading from an old fuse box or 100-amp panel to 200 amps improves safety, supports future upgrades (like EV chargers or rental suites), and helps your home pass inspections, all of which can boost resale value.

Absolutely. With EV ownership on the rise in Toronto and surrounding areas, many older homes (especially those with 100-amp or fuse panels) don’t have the capacity for a Level 2 charger. We upgrade your panel to 200 amps, coordinate with Toronto Hydro (or your local utility), and ensure your system meets code, so your EV charger runs safely and efficiently.

No, DIY electrical panel work is prohibited in Ontario (only licensed electricians can perform it). Attempting DIY work is unsafe, violates code, and can void insurance and warranties. Our licensed electricians ensure compliance and safety.

Some insurers may offer credits or lower premiums after replacing hazardous panels, especially older, non‑code systems. Coverage varies by provider, we recommend checking with your insurer. A recent ESA inspection and permit can help support your case.
