When to Schedule Electrical Panel Upgrades or Maintenance
Regular inspections prevent costly repairs and keep your electrical system safe. Maintenance also prevents the need for premature upgrades and replacements. Book a maintenance visit if you notice:
- Lights dimming or flickering under load
- Breakers tripping frequently
- Burning smells, heat, or crackling sounds from the panel
- An older fuse box or an outdated breaker system
- Plans for a home addition or EV charger installation
Routine maintenance also extends panel life, helps prevent overloads, and ensures your system meets current electrical code requirements.
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Upgrading your panel improves both safety and capacity — especially in older Calgary homes. Our service upgrades include:
- Replacing outdated 60A–100A panels with 200A or larger systems
- Upgrading wiring, grounding, and surge protection
- Installing arc-fault and GFCI breakers for enhanced protection
- Handling permits and inspections for a fully code-compliant upgrade
If you’re renovating, adding a secondary suite, or installing modern appliances, we’ll make sure your system can handle the load.
