Pros and Cons of Aluminum Wiring

The aluminum wiring had been in use since the invention of electricity. A war type situation had emerged in the 1970s regarding the use of aluminum or copper in the electrical wiring. The use of aluminum was because of the many good reasons that aluminum bears. Though, at the same time aluminum bears a lot [...]

Insights to Aluminum Wiring

Aluminum is a very good conductor and has been used in wiring for a long time before copper was introduced. Aluminum is not more in use now as copper has been replaced with it. However, copper wiring is not considered as the wiring best feasible and suitable after 1980 and has been standardized as well. [...]

Panel Upgrade Experts have done TWO installations for us: one in a town house condo in 2017, and recently another house installation in 2022. If someone tells you you can’t install a charger in your town house condo, I would STRONGLY recommend Panel Upgrade Experts. They are AMAZING!!!

Very happy with Paul and the Panel Upgrade Experts team. They are professionals who provide high quality work and no mess when they leave. The new 200 amp electrical panel they installed shows well, the wiring connecting to it is straight and parallel, a reflection of true workmanship and pride of the installer. This holds true of other work they did like hard wiring smoke/CO sensors, etc.I'm impressed with Joel who is personable, knowledgeable, and takes pride in his work.Paul, Jill and Joel took time to answer any questions I had which was helpful in my decision making to make sure I was happy.I wouldn't hesitate to use Panel Upgrade Experts again and highly recommend them.Thank you Ken

We moved into a house with an unsafe electrical panel that was mess of wires. Paul and his team not only left us with a tidy and safe new panel, but also helped us upgrade our service installation to 200 amp service. Very happy with the quality of the work and support in pulling permits and communicating with the necessary service providers. I would highly recommend Panel Upgrade Experts!

Paul and his team did an excellent job in fitting our new solar panels. They supported us through the entire process from applying for government grants to the installation itself, making the whole process both simple and smooth!This is second time we have used them in our home and as with the first time I was extremely happy with both their expertise and professionalism.They do a great job and I would certainly recommend them!!

We recently got solar panels installed by Paul and Panel Upgrade Experts. From the onset, Paul’s responsiveness and customer service skills put him ahead of other companies who provided us with a quote, and the competitive price he provided made the decision easy. Install happened quickly, cleanly and with just the right level of communication. Jill in the office was always responsive and kind. Can’t say enough about this company; it feels good to be in capable hands. High recommend.

The installation went very well, the electricians were excellent.They worked safely and a produced high quality installation.My overall scope was an upgrade to a new 200 amp panel from and old panel from 1969 as well as 100 amp service to our garage and relocation of the main power line to our home.The team worked very quickly and were able to have the power back on again before the end of the day.All in all, it was a great team effort (Paul, Joel, and John) facilitated by the good relationships they have developed with workers from Enmax and the City Inspector.Please feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss any details.Patricio Venegas

I contacted Panel Upgrade Experts to install wall outlets in my unfinished basement. They first provided me with a quote and were very accommodating to my schedule. Joel arrived on-time and was able to complete the work in a timely and professional manner. I liked the fact they were very flexible when it came to payment as well so that's a bonus! I would recommend their services to anyone and I will be using Panel Upgrade Experts for future projects.

Panel Upgrade experts were very responsive. When walking me through the work that would be done, they did the best to describe the work that would be done and how things would look when done. They did a great job and left the site clean. My husband and I had some siding work to do afterwards, but because Paul was able to explain that before hand, it was something we were ready for which none of the other contractors giving me a quote even mentioned. We are very happy with all the work they did.

I live in a 1930's bungalow and needed my my panel and knob and tube wiring replaced. I found Panel Upgrade Experts on the Web. I did not know if they were good, great, or not so great lol. Well I got lucky, they are great. These old houses are tough to re-wire. First they replaced the Panel (I was pleased with this work) and then later when I could no longer put it off we did a complete re-wire. I should have done it all sooner. On time, under budget and good quality work. Paul, Joel and Jill do what they say they will do. I will continue to use them for whatever electrical comes up.

We needed a full panel replacement in a 50 year old house we recently purchased. Panel Upgrade Experts responded to our queries promptly and provided clear instructions on what was required on our end in order for them to complete the job. Everyone we dealt with was friendly, personable, and professional and the price was very reasonable, especially for such excellent work. We highly recommend this company to anyone needing to replace their electrical panel and we won't hesitate to contact the company in the future for other electrical work we may need.

Joel was great. He was professional, courteous and efficient as he worked through our list. Really appreciate his expertise. And he was careful not to leave any trace he was here; even neatly putting old lights into the boxes for the new ones.We have used Panel Upgrade Experts a few times now and would recommend them to anyone.

Not very often I write reviews however, in this case I will give credit where credit is due. Panel Upgrade Experts is easy to deal with and did an excellent job upgrading my existing 100 Amp service to 200 Amps, relocated the utility in feed, and replaced two out dated panels. Thanks guys for being so meticulous, I really appreciate the clean job you did.

Michelle Ma

They are extremely knowledgeable, responsive, professional and offered amazing customer service. I have requested to assess an issue for my property and Paul walked me through and provided troubleshooting instructions. With his help I was able to fix the problem with no problem. I will definitely be reaching out to panel upgrade experts for any future electrical work and would highly recommend them to my family and friends!! Thank you again for all your help Paul!!

Panel Upgrade Experts did an excellent job replacing my 40 year old panel and installing a whole house surge protector. Right from the easy online estimate (I supplied photos) to the work having to be rescheduled on my part. The price was very fair, significantly less than some other quotes and as promised, the invoice was adjusted to the actual costs and came in less than the estimate. This demonstrates a great deal of integrity on their part. More than happy and will not hesitate to call them on future projects including my primary residence.

Kelly Summers

20:58 19 Dec 20

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stephanie Fowler

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.

Jeremy Sherry

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.

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.
