Upgrade Your Home’s Power Safely and Legally
Modern homes in Toronto run on more electricity than ever before. If you live in an older Toronto home with an outdated fuse box or a 100-amp breaker panel, your electrical system might be struggling to keep up. Whether you are installing an EV charger, upgrading to a heat pump, or simply tired of constantly tripping breakers, our licensed electricians are here to help.
We provide safe, up-to-code electrical panel upgrades across the Greater Toronto Area, ensuring your home meets all Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) standards.
Signs You Need a Panel Upgrade
Waiting for an electrical panel to fail is a major fire hazard. You should call an electrician for a panel upgrade if you notice any of the following:
Frequent Tripping: Your circuit breakers trip often when running multiple appliances.
Flickering Lights: Lights dim or flicker when the AC or microwave kicks on.
Outdated Fuse Boxes: Insurance companies in Ontario often charge premiums or refuse coverage for homes with old 60-amp services or glass fuse boxes.
Melted Wires or Scorch Marks: Any signs of heat, melting, or burning smells near your panel require immediate emergency attention.
New Heavy Appliances: You are planning a basement suite, a hot tub, an induction stove, or an electric vehicle charger.
100-Amp vs. 200-Amp Service
Most older Toronto homes were built with 60-amp or 100-amp service. Today, the standard for modern living is 200 amps.
| Feature | 100-Amp Panel | 200-Amp Panel |
| Best For | Smaller, older homes with gas heating and standard appliances | Modern homes, EV chargers, electric heating, and basement suites |
| Capacity | Often struggles with multiple heavy loads simultaneously | Safely runs HVAC, EVs, and heavy appliances at the same time |
| Home Value | Can be a red flag for modern home buyers | Increases property value and makes home insurance easier to secure |
