A large number of Toronto homes still run on 60-amp or 100-amp service, often with an old fuse box, and that simply can't keep up with modern life. Electric vehicle chargers, heat pumps, induction ranges and finished basements all draw heavily, so an upgrade to 200-amp service is one of the most common requests we get from homeowners across the city.
Panel Upgrades in Toronto: local know-how
In neighbourhoods like East York, The Beaches and Etobicoke, it's still common to find a 60-amp service or a 1960s-era fuse panel feeding a house that now wants a Level 2 EV charger in the driveway and a cold-climate heat pump replacing the furnace. We convert fuse boxes to modern breaker panels, upgrade 60/100-amp services to 200 amps, and add the capacity homeowners need for EV charging, heat pumps and electric appliances as the city pushes toward electrification. A service upgrade in Toronto involves coordination beyond just the panel: the work requires an ESA notification and inspection, and a service mast or meter base change usually means scheduling a disconnect and reconnect with Toronto Hydro. We plan that sequence so your power is off for the shortest time possible, size the new service for what you'll actually add in the next few years, and leave clear capacity and labelling for future circuits.
