Breakers trip often
Especially when several appliances run together.
Signs your panel is working too hard
Warm or buzzing panel
Heat, buzzing or a burning smell needs attention now.
No room for new circuits
A full panel or tandem breakers everywhere.
Big additions planned
EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or a basement suite.
Two ways to add a big load
A load calculation decides what’s allowed. Then there are usually two routes.
Load management (EVEMS)
A device monitors the home’s demand and limits the EV charger when the house is busy. Recognized by the Canadian Electrical Code, it can add charging without a service upgrade.
Service upgrade to 200 A
New panel and service equipment, coordinated with your utility for disconnect and reconnect. The right choice when electric heat, a second EV or other big loads are coming.
Permits & inspection
- The licensed contractor doing the work files the ESA notification
- Utility coordination for service disconnects
- Work inspected against the Ontario Electrical Safety Code
- Every breaker labelled before we leave
