Electrical panel and service upgrades
An old fuse panel, a 100 A service too small for an EV charger, a heat pump or an addition, a service mast damaged by ice: we replace it, increase capacity up to 400 A and coordinate with Hydro-Québec.

When to think about it
Before adding an EV charger, a heat pump, a hot tub, solar panels or an addition. A large all-electric home with an EV charger and a hot tub quickly exceeds 200 A: that is where 320 A or 400 A makes sense. And right away if your panel runs hot, crackles, trips breakers often or still uses fuses: it is often what your insurer looks at, too.
He is very polite and works hard. Very honest about his prices compared to other electricians.
Frequently asked questions
Panels and electrical service: your questions
Do I need 200 A, or more?
A load calculation tells us. 200 A is enough for most homes. A large all-electric home with an EV charger, hot tub or heat pump may need 320 A or 400 A.
How long does a service upgrade take?
The work itself usually takes one day. Disconnection and reconnection depend on the Hydro-Québec appointment, which we schedule with you in advance.
My insurer requires me to replace my fuse panel. Can you do it?
Yes. We replace the fuse panel with a breaker panel and give you the documents to send to your insurer.
