Plenty of homes in Lansing, Downsview, and older Don Mills still run on 60-amp or 100-amp service, and many older panels are fuse-based. If you are adding an EV charger, a heat pump, or finishing a basement, those services run out of room fast. We upgrade panels to 200 amps and convert fuse boxes to breakers across North York.

Panel Upgrades in North York: local know-how

A 60-amp service was normal when North York's post-war bungalows were built, but it can't support today's EV chargers, heat pumps, induction ranges, and home offices. We upgrade services to 100 or 200 amps, replace fuse panels with modern breaker panels, and free up capacity for new high-draw circuits. Each panel or service upgrade requires an ESA notification and inspection, and where we're increasing the service size we coordinate the connection with Toronto Hydro. We also assess your grounding and bonding, which older homes often lack, so the upgraded panel meets current Ontario code rather than just swapping equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need 200-amp service for an EV charger or heat pump in North York?
Not always, but a Level 2 charger or heat pump adds a substantial continuous load. Many older 60- or 100-amp North York homes don't have headroom for it. We calculate your existing demand and recommend 200 amps only if your loads actually require it.
How long does a panel upgrade take and is ESA involved?
A typical residential panel or service upgrade is a one-day job once power is arranged. It requires an ESA notification and a passing inspection, and a service size increase also involves coordinating the reconnect with Toronto Hydro.
Do panel upgrades require an ESA inspection?
Yes. Service and panel work in Ontario is inspected by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). We coordinate the permit and inspection as part of the job so it's handled correctly.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades are completed in a single day, though the utility disconnect/reconnect and inspection scheduling can affect timing. We'll give you a realistic timeline up front.
Will my power be off during the upgrade?
There's a planned power interruption while the panel is swapped and the utility reconnects the service. We minimize it and schedule it at a convenient time.
