An electrical panel installed by professionals, like the team at Ottawa Electric, can last up to 40 years!

TYPES OF PANEL UPGRADES
When Should You Upgrade Your Electrical Panel?
It’s very common that homeowners of homes built in the 1960s or earlier will be rated for 100 amps. In this day in 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.
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!

ELECTRICAL PANEL AND SUBPANEL FAQ
Frequently
Asked Questions
Absolutely. Not only will getting a panel upgrade for your home be more convenient and reduce light flickering, trips, and blown fuses, but it’s also a safety hazard to avoid electrical panel upgrades or replacements. When the electricity needed for your home is too much for an old or outdated electrical panel to handle, it can overheat, break down, or even catch fire. Contact Ottawa Electric if you’re ever unsure of the status of your current electrical panel. We will be happy to investigate and do any necessary electrical panel installations in Ottawa for your properties.
Most modern homes are equipped with a 200 amps electrical panel. Although it supplies standard electricity for the average home, sometimes this still cannot support larger electrical heating systems or appliances for larger homes.
In these cases, a 300 amps electrical panel upgrade or even 400 amps panel upgrade might be needed. At Ottawa Electric, we will be able to evaluate your home and recommend a panel upgrade solution that works best for you.
There are a few telltale signs your electrical panel is in need of an upgrade. Some of which include:
- You have a home built in the 1960s or earlier.
- You have recently added a new feature or appliance to your home such as a hot tub, EV Charger, or pool.
- You notice dim or flickering lights in your home.
- Your panel or breakers frequently trip.
