Service Upgrade – Boost Your Home’s Power Capacity Safely

• Site assessment to determine your existing capacity and future needs
   
• Disconnection coordination with your utility provider (Hydro One, Alectra, etc.)
   
• Installation of a new 200A meter base and service mast or conduit (overhead or underground)
   
• Upgrade of main grounding and bonding systems to meet code
   
• Replacement or upgrade of the electrical panel (if required)
   
• ESA permit and inspection coordination
   
• System testing and re-energization the same day
   

We handle all communication with local hydro and ESA to ensure a seamless experience.

Your home will be without power during the upgrade (typically for 4–6 hours), but we’ll have you safely reconnected and inspected by the end of the day.

We schedule any required utility disconnections in advance to ensure a smooth and timely process.

• Starts at: $2,400 + HST
   
• Typical Range: $2,400 – $4,500 + HST
   
• Pricing depends on overhead vs. underground service, panel access, etc

How do I know if I need a service upgrade?
You may need one if you're adding major appliances, EV chargers, hot tubs, or finishing a basement. We can confirm during our assessment.

What’s the difference between a panel change and a service upgrade?
A panel change swaps the breaker panel only. A service upgrade increases the total amperage supplied to your home (e.g., from 100A to 200A).

Is ESA involved?
Yes — all service upgrades require permits and inspections. We handle everything from start to finish.

Do I need to contact the hydro company?
Nope. We’ll take care of coordinating with your local utility so you don’t have to.
