Electrical Panel Upgrade in Richmond Hill

If your home runs an older 100-amp service, adding an EV charger can push it past what the panel can safely carry, and a 200-amp upgrade fixes that for good. It is a common step on Richmond Hill's more established streets.

A lot of homes around Crosby, North Richvale, and the older pockets of Oak Ridges were wired for a different era, before EVs, heat pumps, and induction ranges all wanted power at once. When a load calculation shows there is no headroom left, we upgrade the panel and service to 200 amps so the charger has room to run and you have capacity for whatever you add next.

We coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with Alectra Utilities, swap the panel, and handle the ESA permit and inspection. You end up with a modern panel, clear labelling, and a service that will not flinch when the car and the dryer run together.

The day itself follows a steady pattern. Alectra Utilities disconnects the service, our electrician swaps the panel and service equipment, and power is usually back by mid-afternoon. The ESA inspection follows behind, and in most projects the charger circuit goes in during the same window, so the upgrade and the charger close out together.

The older pockets of Crosby and North Richvale are where we recommend this most, but never on instinct. You will see the load calculation first, with the numbers behind it, and if your 100-amp service can carry a managed charger safely, we will quote that instead. An upgrade should be a decision you understand, not a line item you were talked into. Most upgrades are finished in a single day, with the charger following right behind.
