New EV charger, solar or hot tub adds load — 200A gives you safe headroom for it all.

Calgary panel upgrade questions, answered.
How much does a 100 to 200 amp panel upgrade cost in Calgary?
Most 100A to 200A upgrades cost between about $1,800 and $4,000, depending on your existing service, meter and mast condition, and whether the utility needs to be involved. We provide a fixed quote before any work starts.
What are the signs I need a panel upgrade?
Breakers that trip often, a fuse box instead of breakers, flickering or dimming lights, a warm or buzzing panel, no free breaker spaces, or planning to add an EV charger, solar, hot tub, AC or an addition. Older Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels should be evaluated for replacement.
Are Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels dangerous?
They’re widely regarded as a fire risk because their breakers can fail to trip during a fault. If you have one, it should be inspected and is usually recommended for replacement. We replace these with modern, safe equipment.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades are completed in one day. Power is off for part of the day while we work, and we coordinate the permit, utility disconnect/reconnect and inspection.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger or solar?
Sometimes. Adding an EV charger, solar, a hot tub or AC increases your load. If your panel is full or under-sized, upgrading to 200A gives you safe capacity — and we can do it at the same time as your install.
Do you handle the permit and inspection?
Yes. We pull the permit, coordinate with the utility, and arrange the electrical inspection as part of every panel upgrade — you don’t deal with the paperwork.
