Common Restaurant Electrical Challenges

High Amperage Equipment Loads: Commercial ovens, fryers, and dishwashers draw significant amperage. Most restaurant buildouts require 200A or 400A three phase service.

Exhaust Hood Requirements: Commercial kitchen exhaust hoods require specific electrical configurations per Ontario Fire Code and Health Unit requirements.

NSF Rated Installations: Commercial kitchen electrical fixtures must be NSF rated for sanitation.

Health Inspection Compliance: Peel Public Health inspects restaurant electrical for safety and food handling code compliance.

After Hours Work: Most restaurant electrical work must be done during
closed hours to avoid service interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not always. Many 100-amp panels can support Level 2 charging with proper load management. However, homes with electric heating, AC, and high demand appliances often need a 200-amp upgrade to safely add an EV charger. We'll do the load calculation during your free estimate.

Most installations take 3-6 hours, plus scheduling time for the ESA inspection (usually 1-2 weeks after installation). If a panel upgrade is also required, add 4-6 hours on the panel upgrade day.

Yes but it requires coordination with your condo corporation. The
Ontario Condominium Act gives condo owners the right to request EV charger installation in their parking stall. We handle the technical installation; you'll need to submit the application to your condo board. We can provide the drawings and specifications required for the application.

The ESA permit for an EV charger installation typically runs $100-$200. This is non-negotiable under Ontario law. We include it in every quote so there are no surprise charges.

Level 1 uses a standard 120V outlet and adds about 5-8 km of range per hour fine for plugin hybrids, but too slow for most electric vehicles. Level 2 uses a 240V dedicated circuit (like your dryer) and adds 30-50 km of range per hour the standard for home EV charging.

Only if it's installed by a licensed electrician with a proper ESA permit. Uncertified installations can void your home insurance and your vehicle warranty. This is why professional installation is essential.

Yes. We install weatherproof EV chargers (NEMA 4X / 6P rated) for driveways and outdoor parking. These are hardwired with proper conduit and weatherproofing to handle Ontario winters.
