ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADE IN BOWNESS, CALGARY

Project Overview

This electrical panel upgrade in Bowness, Calgary, involved upgrading an older 60 amp service to a modern 100 amp electrical panel. The homeowner was in the middle of renovations and needed more capacity for new circuits, as the existing 60 amp panel simply didn’t have enough space. The upgrade provided additional room for future electrical needs and ensured the home met Canadian Electrical Code standards.

Installation Details

  • Old Panel: 60 amp electrical panel
  • New Panel: 100 amp electrical panel with modern breakers
  • Panel Relocation: Moved onto a new wall in the basement to minimize drywall damage
  • Meter Adjustment: Addition of a service disconnect meter and meet code
  • Compliance: Installed to full Canadian Electrical Code standards

Site Conditions and Challenges

The original panel was outdated and undersized for the homeowner’s planned renovations. Relocating the panel provided a safer, more accessible placement while minimizing disruption to the finished basement. The meter service disconnect outside was necessary do to the distance of the panel from the outside wall of the property.

Electrical Work Completed

Our team removed the old service and installed a new 100 amp panel on a properly mounted board. A new meter base and service conduit were fitted outside, and the panel wiring was neatly dressed, connected, and labeled inside. The work was completed on schedule, with no deficiencies noted at inspection.
