I had some questions with regards to my existing LED dimmer drivers and switches that weren’t working. I wasn’t sure how to set up the compatibility between the different components. Paul walked me through some of the scenarios and I was able on my own to get things working as I was hoping. I would definitely go with Panel Upgrade Experts for any future electrical work. Paul’s a very nice, professional and knowledgeable guy. Thanks again Paul!

An absolutely top-notch company for both quality and value. Our home needed aluminium remediation and a new panel. Paul and Joel were very professional. Their systematic approach made quick work of the aluminium remediation and panel upgrade. They kept things tidy as they worked which was much appreciated as I have two very curious toddlers. They were very detail oriented and clearly take pride in not just the function but also the look of their work. It is the tidiest wiring I've seen in my life. The pricing and warranties were the best out of the three quotes we got, and they stayed true to the quote, actually better. We are going to be using them for all our future electrical needs as we have some renos planed in our future. Thanks to Paul, Jill, and Jole for being patient with our questions, which we had a lot of. You guys are the best electricians, and I will definitely be recommending you to all of my friends and family.

Panel Upgrade Experts were professionals from the very beginning, in responding to my needs, to the very end, in them asking if there was anything more they could do for me. Could not have asked for a better experience. Keep up the great work PUE !

Joel was an absolute pleasure to work with!He was professional, answered all of my questions, and double checked our work to make sure our new socket was perfectly centered. From calling to book an appt to Joel coming out, it was about 2 days (how fast is that?!) and booking/paying was a breeze.I would absolutely recommend this company and will for sure use them in the future.

Panel Upgrade Experts did an excellent job preparing my garage with a tesla charger and new panel. They also found a few deficiencies from the builder and fixed those too. great team, good work and timely.

We hired Panel Experts to complete the electrical & lighting work in our complete kitchen renovation. Paul and the whole Panel Experts team were professional, friendly, timely and always willing to talk us through the process and answer our many questions. We are very happy with the finished product and would highly recommend working with this company.

I needed more room in my service panel and found Panel Upgrade Experts via Google search, and then checked out their Instagram. I LOVE their attention to detail! So I called 'em up and spoke with Paul. He's a great guy, easy to talk to, listens to what customers are asking, and builds great relationships. The quote, which arrived the same day I contacted them was 2/3 the cost of the next company, so it was a no-brainer.The day they arrived, they arrived EARLY!!! Nobody does that anymore. Prompt, on time, friendly, eager to help. It was an excellent start. Joel did the work and he cleaned up the mess, made everything right and was very polite; like he took the time to cover the carpet, clean up, and leave it better than when he arrived.Coordinating all this project through Jill, their administrative staff, was super easy and emails flew back and forth. It was all...simple. No gotcha's, no attitude. Just great, professional work. I'll be happy to have them back again for another reno.

Paul and Joel recently did a panel upgrade, relocation, service upgrade to 200 amps, and a kitchen re-wire on our property. They both worked very efficiently and completed the work within the timelines and always kept me in the loop on the progress. The end product was very neat and organized, no messy wires around the panel and knowing that our kitchen remodel is updated with new wiring and meets the latest electrical safety standards. Pricing was very competitive with the other quotes I had gotten as well but the customer service and knowledge during the on-site quote visit sold me. I'll definitely reach out to Panel Upgrade Experts for my future projects as well as recommend them. Very impressed! Thanks Paul and Joel!

I was looking for someone who knew about Tesla chargers and had a family member recommend me to Paul, he was very accommodating to my work schedule and came out later in the day (6pm) and sat me down and talked through all my options. I feel so much more confident in my knowledge of superchargers and will be 100% using Paul and his team to upgrade my panel and install my supercharger later this year.Thank you.

These guys are awesome! My panel looks very tidy. Before panel upgrade it looked like a mess. Now it is all neatly labeled. All circuits are on proper breakers.

Paul did an excellent job installing indirect lighting in our new house. He was fast and efficient and neat, gave us options, and was very knowledgable about the product. He was great to work with and we would recommend him to others.

Panel Upgrade Experts was amazing to work with. Paul and his team completely transformed our kitchen lighting and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would use Panel Upgrade Experts for any electrical work in the future, and would definitely recommend them to a friend.

Paul was great to deal with and would definitely use his services again. Very knowledgeable guy, payed attention to detail and gave me good options to consider. 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!

Good reliable service. It's refreshing to be able to depend on a tradesman in Calgary again. I've used Panel Upgrade Experts (Paul) for 2 separate panels, wiring of a legal basement suite and my personal home renovations. All the work has been top notch and efficient. Paul delivers honest and reliable service and offers sound advice when challenges arise in a job.

Paul and Jesse were friendly, prompt and very communicative. They were happy to answer any questions we had the day of our panel replacement. Would absolutely recommend these guys and we will be sure to contact again for future work!

I originally heard of Panel Upgrade Experts from a friend who used them a few years ago and when I was in search of an electrician to do the work, I was able to find them online. I shopped a few electricians for a quote and Paul came in the most competitive, most responsive to inquires and treated the tenants/property with respect. I felt he was quite organized when the work was being done and finished the job as scheduled. The job site was also left clean. Would use Paul again and would most certainly recommend to friends.

I called to see if a heavy chandelier could be installed in my century old home and everything went smoothly from the first appt for the estimate through to the completion. Punctual, fast, knowledgeable and skilled work from start to finish. I could not be happier and will definitely be calling back for the next chandelier to be installed.

I've previously used Paul and Panel Upgrade Experts to replace/upgrade our house electrical panel, to run new lighting in our dining room and on another occasion to do the wiring for a new office built in our basement. Every time work was quick, clean, top quality and done with a friendly smile. Panel Upgrade Experts will always be my first call for electrical needs.

Tara Law

A great, pleasant, company to work with! Paul was very professional, skilled, and courteous. He was knowledgeable and competent about electrical anomalies. He took great pride in doing a good job and cleaning up after himself when he was done! I wouldn't change a thing about my experience with Panel Grade Experts and would recommend them to anyone.

Extremely pleased with my experience with Panel Upgrade Experts. I was renovating older house under a home owners permit, and got myself into trouble with the code updates that came into effect at the beginning of 2016 (Need for combination ARK fault breakers, which my old panel did not support). The electrical panel needed to be replaced and I was really worried that I would need to re-do some of the work I had previously done. I had already tied everything into the old panel and I did not have high hopes on the new panel looking good, and was expecting to need to re-run some wires. Paul honestly saved the day. The work exceeded my expectations on how neat and cleanly it was done, and no cables need to be re-run.On top of the quality of work it was all the small things that made this a great experience. Invoice came in bang on their quote. Extremely prompt with correspondence, which I really appreciated. Showed up right on time, finished the job faster than I was expecting. High quality of work, and professionalism.

It's great to find a company that is prompt, professional, and reasonably priced. Paul is extremely knowledgeable, and doesn't try to up-sell on unnecessary items. The office admin Jacqueline was also great, answering quickly, thoroughly and always following up. Invoice actually came in less than the estimate which is always a bonus.

A great experience in the "quick buck" contractors that is Calgary. Paul was quick to respond to any questions, gave great service at a very competitive rate and made sure I was happy with all of his work before leaving my property.

I had these guys come in to do a panel change. They were good to communicate with pre-job, showed up when they said they would and did a nice clean professional job for a reasonable cost. I had a positive experience and would recommend them to others.

They came to replace my old electrical panel that wasnt safe anymore. They were really respectful and professional. They knew what needed to be done and the final result speak for itself. Will recommend.

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.
