An electrical panel, also known as a breaker, fuse box, or load center, brings a proper electrical flow to all the appliances in your house. If your panel frequently trips or a fuse repeatedly blows, you may be in need of electrical panel services. When these trips happen very often, there might be something going on with your electrical panel that requires more attention than simply flipping the switch.
We offer expert and professional panel upgrade services to ensure your house is equipped with reliable and safe electricity for your home – for life! An electrical panel installed by professionals like our team can last up to 40 years!
No matter if you have an older home or a new build, we can help with all your subpanel and panel upgrades, installations, and maintenance needs. Contact Ottawa Electric today.
It’s very common that homes built in the 1960s or earlier will be rated for 100 amps. In this day and age, we have more modern appliances in our homes and new technology. This can require a fuse box replacement, breaker maintenance, or an upgraded panel to 200 or even 400 amps to give you the appropriate power to accommodate your property’s electrical needs.Â
Even if you have a more recently built home, sometimes the electrical panel installed may not be updated enough to accommodate appliances that are becoming more and more common, like hot tubs, home electrical vehicle (EV) chargers, and much more. If you’re not sure about the state of your electrical panel, contact our team today to book an inspection!

Your electrical panel may need upgrading if you have a home built in the 1960s or earlier with a 100-amp service panel, you’ve added major appliances like hot tubs or electric vehicles, you notice dim or flickering lights, your breaker panel frequently trips, or you detect burning smells or crackling noises. These are clear signs that your electrical panel is outdated and requires professional attention to handle the electrical demands of modern homes.
Panel upgrades in Ottawa offer multiple benefits: reducing the risk of electrical fires, eliminating doubled-up circuits and the need to replace fuses, increasing your home’s electrical capacity to 200 or 400 amps, allowing for additional circuits for future needs, supporting electric vehicle chargers and hot tubs, and increasing your home’s resale value. An upgraded electrical panel ensures safe and efficient electrical service for decades.
Most modern homes operate well with a 200-amp service panel, but larger homes with high electrical demands may require 300 or 400-amp upgrades. Our expert panel upgrade services include assessing your current electrical system through Hydro Ottawa consumption reports to determine if an upgrade is necessary. Factors like home size, heating systems, and major appliances affect your panel size requirements.
The cost of electrical panel upgrades in Ottawa can vary depending on factors like service upgrade requirements, panel size needed, location of the panel, and compliance with electrical codes. Our professional electrician team provides detailed quotes that include all aspects of the upgrade process, from permits to installation. Contact us for a free estimate to assess your electrical needs and provide accurate pricing.
The panel upgrade involves replacing your existing electrical panel with a new panel that meets current electrical codes and your home’s electrical demands. Our certified electricians handle everything: assessing your current electrical system, obtaining necessary permits, installing the new panel, ensuring proper connections, and testing the system. We provide expert electrical panel upgrades that typically last up to 40 years with proper maintenance.
If your panel is severely damaged, showing signs of melting, or poses immediate safety risks, you’ll need a complete electrical panel replacement. For panels that are simply outdated or insufficient for current electrical devices, a service upgrade may suffice. Our team will assess your electrical needs to determine if upgrading your electrical service or full replacement is the best solution for your home or business.

We help with all your electrical panel needs, from initial assessment to final installation, ensuring compliance with electrical codes.
