📞 Call (780) 555-0163 — Free EstimateMany Edmonton homes — particularly those built before 1990 in neighbourhoods like Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Mill Woodscouver, and Oliver — are still running on 100-amp service panels. That was fine for the appliances of that era. Today's homes are a different story.
A modern Edmonton household has EV chargers, heat pumps, induction ranges, electric dryers, multiple home offices, and smart home systems all drawing power simultaneously. A 100A panel simply wasn't designed for this. The result: tripped breakers, flickering lights, an inability to add new circuits, and in older panels, a genuine fire risk.
A panel upgrade to 200A (or 400A for larger homes or those with solar + EV) is the foundation for everything else you want to add to your home. It's also required before we can install a Level 2 EV charger or a heat pump in many older Edmonton homes.
If you're experiencing any of the following, call us for a free assessment.
If you're resetting breakers more than once or twice a year, your panel is being overloaded or your breakers are failing.
When appliances start up and your lights dim, it's a sign your panel can't handle the load without voltage drops across circuits.
No space for an EV charger circuit, hot tub, or workshop outlet — your panel is full and needs a service upgrade.
Fuse boxes are a fire risk and can't support modern electrical loads. They must be replaced with a modern breaker panel.
A burning smell, scorch marks, or warm panel door is a serious warning sign. Call us immediately — this is an electrical emergency.
Many BC insurers won't renew policies on homes with Zinsco, Federal Pacific, or Pushmatic panels. We replace all legacy brands.
We match the panel size to your current and future electrical needs — including EVs, heat pumps, solar, and home additions.
A panel upgrade involves coordinating with EPCOR for a temporary service disconnect. We manage every step so you don't have to deal with EPCOR directly.
We visit your home, inspect your current panel, determine what amperage you need, and identify any wiring concerns that should be addressed at the same time.
You receive a clear, itemized quote covering panel, materials, labour, permit fees, and EPCOR coordination. No hidden extras.
We pull the electrical permit. This is non-negotiable — unpermitted panel work can void your home insurance and cause problems when you sell.
We coordinate with EPCOR to schedule the temporary service disconnect needed for the panel changeover. This is included in your quote.
We remove the old panel, install the new panel, label every circuit clearly, test everything, and restore power the same day in almost all cases.
Alberta Safety Codes Authority inspection is booked. You receive your permit closure certificate — keep this for your home records and future buyers.
A 100A to 200A panel upgrade in Edmonton Metro Edmonton Area typically ranges from $2,500 to $4,500 installed, including permits, EPCOR coordination, and all materials. Older homes with aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube wiring may require additional remediation. We provide exact written quotes before any work begins.
Your power will be off for approximately 6–8 hours on installation day. EPCOR disconnects service in the morning, we complete the panel installation, and EPCOR reconnects service in the afternoon. In most cases, power is fully restored before dinner.
Yes. These legacy panels have known safety deficiencies and are rejected by many BC home insurers. We replace them with modern Siemens, Square D, or Eaton panels that meet current Alberta Electrical Code.
Absolutely — and we recommend it. Bundling both saves you a second EPCOR disconnect fee and reduces total labour time. We'll give you a combined quote for both projects.
Call for a free on-site assessment. Most panel upgrades are completed within one week of the quote.
