Signs Your Home Needs a Panel Upgrade
Most Pickering homes ask about a panel upgrade for one of these reasons. If yours is on this list, call us for a free on-site assessment.
Breakers trip constantly
A 100A panel running dryer, AC and EV charger at once can't keep up. A panel upgrade gives every circuit the headroom it needs.
Insurer flagged your panel
Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels are routinely flagged at renewal. A panel upgrade replaces the hazard and satisfies the insurer.
Adding an EV charger or hot tub
Major new loads need headroom a 100A panel often doesn't have. We size the panel upgrade to what you're actually adding.
No spaces left in the panel
Every slot filled with no room for new circuits means a panel upgrade is the only way forward, not a workaround.
Panel feels warm or buzzes
Heat or noise at the panel often means it's reached end of life. We assess whether a repair holds or a full panel upgrade is safer.
Finishing a basement
New circuits for a finished basement often push an older panel past capacity. A panel upgrade clears the way before the drywall goes up.
What Happens During Your Panel Upgrade
Every panel upgrade in Pickering starts with an on-site load assessment, not a guess. Here's the process from first call to final inspection.
