Frequently Asked Questions
Circuit Installation & Upgrades
1. What circuit installation services does Ottawa Electric provide?
We specialize in new circuit installations and circuit breaker panel upgrades throughout Ottawa. Our team handles everything from installing new circuits for kitchens, powder rooms, and home entertainment centers to adding receptacles in basements and garages. We calculate the right wire size to meet electrical code requirements and prevent overheating risks.
2. Why should I upgrade my electrical panel and circuit breakers?
Upgrading your electrical panel is crucial for meeting modern electrical demands. If you have frequent breaker trips, an outdated 100-amp panel, or need increased electrical capacity for home additions, a panel upgrade ensures your electrical system can handle current and future electrical needs safely. Our upgraded panel installations provide protection against electrical hazards and prevent electrical fires.
3. How do I know if I need a circuit breaker panel upgrade?
Signs you need an electrical panel upgrade include frequent circuit breaker trips, using an older panel that can’t meet electrical demands of modern appliances, planning home additions or increased electrical load, or having an existing electrical panel over 25 years old. Our licensed electrician team can assess your current panel and recommend if upgrading your electrical panel is necessary.
4. What's involved in the electrical panel upgrade process?
Our electrical panel upgrade process includes evaluating your current electrical system, installing new electrical panel components including the main breaker, ensuring compliance with local electrical codes, and testing all circuit breakers. We handle the complete panel replacement, from removing your existing panel to installing modern circuit breakers that meet your home’s electrical requirements.

Our professional electrical services ensure each new circuit is properly sized to handle the electrical load and prevent electrical overload situations.
7. How much does it cost to upgrade circuit breaker panels in Ottawa?
The cost of upgrading an electrical panel varies based on your current panel capacity, the upgraded electrical panel size needed, and specific electrical infrastructure requirements. Factors include whether you need a service upgrade, the number of new circuit breakers required, and any necessary electrical work to meet code.
