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.
