About Electrical Panel Upgrades

Calgary homes built before the 1980s often run on 60A or 100A panels that simply cannot keep up with modern electrical demands — EV chargers, central air conditioning, garage heaters, and hot tub circuits all require capacity that older panels were never designed to deliver. A 200A panel upgrade provides the headroom your home needs today and for future additions, while replacing aging fuse boxes with modern breaker panels that include arc-fault (AFCI) and ground-fault (GFCI) protection as required by current code.

All panel upgrades in Alberta require an electrical permit and inspection by a certified Safety Codes Officer. Calgary's cold climate means your panel must handle heavy winter loads — block heaters, in-floor heating, space heaters, and heated garage circuits can quickly overload an undersized panel. Our network electricians perform thorough load calculations, coordinate with ENMAX for meter base and service entrance upgrades, and ensure your panel work passes inspection on the first visit.
