My panel was upgraded from 100 amp to 200 amp and the overhead service was replaced. The installation was very well done, it was apparent that extra care was taken to make everything look good. Not to mention that the work was done in a quick and timely manner. Very pleased with the work, thank you!read more

Before After Panel

Here are some questions to help you determine if you need new a electrical panel.

I have an old fuse panel am I at risk?

Fuse panels are long obsolete in residential settings. There are multiple issues with having a fuse panel in your home. Human error or manipulation is one of them. Also, if you have a fuse panel in your home you probably have less than a 100 amp supply (100 amp is code for nearly all homes in Calgary). Your wiring may also not be grounded properly, so leaving you at risk of electric shock. Our Calgary electrician can fix all these issues for you.

My Insurance company refused to renew my home insurance policy what can I do?

We deal with insurance requested upgrades all the time. Set up an appointment for an estimate with one of our Calgary electrician’s and we can take care of all the required issues. We will also provide letters for your insurance company if needed. We can also deal directly with the insurer if they have any special requests.

My panel over 15 years old?

Electrical panels and circuit breakers are like all appliances, and have a 15-20 year life expectancy. As the panel and breakers age the functionality diminishes. Circuit breakers can either trip more frequently (nuisance tripping) or not trip at all (putting the circuit at risk of overloading).

I'm renovating my house but my electrical panel is full

This is very common. A kitchen renovation can add up to 10 new circuits to a house. If you have limited space in the panel it may be time for an upgrade. Our electricians can take care of both the electrical panel upgrade and any other electrical work you may need doing.

Do you have a circuit breaker that trip frequently?

You may be overloading the circuit or the circuit breaker might be worn out. If you overload an old circuit breaker you have a higher chance of damaging the insulation of the wire. A new circuit breaker or electrical panel will ensure the highest level of protection.

I'm buying an older house with an old electrical panel, how much will this cost to replace?

It depends of a few different aspects. We can give a ballpark estimate over the phone with some simple questions. That way if you are looking to buy a home with an old electrical panel you have an idea of cost before purchasing.

We put an offer in on a property and the home inspector has flagged some items.

Small electrical panels and low overhead wires are a very common issues with older house sales. This is not something that should scare you off from buying your dream home. We can give you an idea of cost over the phone or you can book an estimate for an exact price. We can schedule the upgrade as close to move in date as possible to minimize the hassle.

I have circuits that are “doubled-up / double tapped” on breakers?

Another common issue flagged with home inspections is ‘double tapping’ of circuit breakers (more than one circuit on a circuit breaker), This is against the Canadian electrical code. A panel upgrade will usually take care of this. In fact we can give you a good idea of cost by looking at the home inspectors report. Contact our office and let us know you are buying a house and the home inspector has some points that need looking at. We will be more than happy to help.

I have aluminum wiring in my house, does this need removing?

In some cases yes, but more commonly, we can remediate the aluminum wiring with a permanent fix without removing it. If needed, we can also rewire the house with minimal drywall damage. (Click here to find out more about Aluminum Wiring)

We have newer wiring added over the years, but does it meet code?

We find that many years of add-ons leave electrical panels a little worse for wear. Any electrician can add circuit to your panel but only an Expert can provide the level of job to our high standards.
