“What is an electrical service upgrade?” It’s the process of enhancing your property’s electrical system to handle greater power needs. Adding a hot tub, installing an EV charger, or noticing your system struggling with daily demands are common reasons for an upgrade.
The process starts with a thorough assessment of your current system’s capacity, age, and condition by professional electricians in Barrie. After the evaluation, the main panel—often managing 100 to 200 amps—is replaced with a higher-capacity panel to support modern energy demands. Circuits are then reconnected to the new panel, following strict safety protocols and Ontario’s electrical codes.
Service upgrades also involve comprehensive testing to ensure every component functions properly. Meeting Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) standards is essential, providing peace of mind that your system is safe and efficient.
