Factors that affect cost:
Every quote includes the ESA permit, Alectra coordination, inspection, and Certificate of Inspection. No surprise fees.
Our licensed electrician visits your home, inspects your existing panel, service entrance cable, and meter base, and discusses your electrical needs (future EV charger, basement renovation, etc.).
We provide a detailed written quote covering labour, materials, ESA permit, Alectra fees, and inspection.
Once approved, we pull the ESA permit and schedule the Alectra disconnection.
On the day of installation, Alectra disconnects your service. We remove the old panel, install the new 200 amp panel, upgrade the meter base if needed, and properly ground and label the new system
Within 1-2 weeks, the ESA inspector visits to inspect and approve the installation. We coordinate this for you.
Once approved, you receive your Certificate of Inspection. Keep this for your insurance records and future home sales.

Most 100A to 200A upgrades take 4-6 hours of installation time. You'll be without power for those hours. If your meter base also needs replacement,
add 1-2 hours. The ESA inspection happens separately within 1-2 weeks.
Yes, your main power will be off for 4-6 hours while the panel is swapped. We schedule this during daylight hours so you can work around it. If you have critical needs (medical equipment, home office), we can discuss generator options.
Yes. Under Ontario law, all panel upgrades require an ESA permit and
inspection. Doing unpermitted panel work can void your home insurance,
prevent future home sales, and create serious safety risks. As licensed
contractors, we pull all required permits.
Yes, and we recommend it. Federal Pioneer panels are known for Stab Lok
breakers that can fail to trip during overloads creating fire risk. Replacement with a modern Square D, Siemens, or Eaton panel eliminates
this risk.
Fuse boxes (typically 60 amp) use single use glass fuses that must be
replaced when blown. Breaker panels use resettable circuit breakers. Modern homes use breaker panels because they're safer, easier to maintain, and
provide more capacity.
Your internal home wiring doesn't need to change for a panel upgrade. However, the service entrance cable (from the street to your meter) may
need upgrading if it's undersized. We check this during the assessment.
We visually inspect the cable and confirm its gauge during the estimate. If it's undersized for 200 amp service, we'll include the upgrade in your quote.
