Panel Upgrades

Is it time to upgrade your panel?

Older Manitoba homes were wired for a fraction of today's electrical load. If you're adding a hot tub, EV charger, shop, or finished basement — or your panel is simply original to the house — an upgrade is usually the right first step.

Signs You Need an Upgrade

Breakers that trip for no clear reason, flickering lights when appliances start, a fuse panel, or no room left for new circuits.

100A to 200A Service

The most common upgrade we do. Gives you the capacity for modern loads plus room to grow.

Fuse Panel Replacement

Fuse panels are long past their service life and can complicate home insurance. We replace them with a modern breaker panel.

Sub-Panels

Garages, shops, and finished basements often need their own sub-panel rather than long runs back to the main.

Permits & Inspection

We pull the permit, coordinate with Manitoba Hydro where required, and handle the inspection.

Grounding & Bonding

A panel upgrade is the right time to bring the grounding electrode system up to current code.

What a panel upgrade actually involves

Load calculation first

Before we quote, we calculate your actual and anticipated load. Upgrading to a panel that's still undersized for your plans is a waste of money — and upgrading further than you need is too.

Utility coordination

A service change usually means coordinating a disconnect and reconnect with Manitoba Hydro. That takes calendar time beyond the labour itself, and we schedule it up front so you're not caught off guard.

Permit and inspection

Electrical permits and inspection are not optional on this kind of work. We handle both, and you get the documentation.

Realistic timeline

A straightforward 200A panel swap is typically a full day of work. A service upgrade with a mast change or utility scheduling can span longer on the calendar even though the labour hours are similar.

What an older service looks like

Existing Service Assessment
Fused disconnect, meter, and an older distribution panel with surface-run conduit. This is the kind of installation we're called out to look at most often. Before quoting a replacement we check what the incoming service can actually carry, the condition of the grounding system, and whether the meter base and mast need to change too — because those decisions drive most of the cost difference between a panel swap and a full service upgrade.
