We've assessed panels of every age and condition. Here are the problems our clients call us about most often.
Frequent trips usually mean the panel is undersized for the home's actual electrical load, not a faulty breaker. Continuing to reset the same breaker risks overheating at the connection point. We assess the panel's capacity and upgrade it to match real household demand.
Fuse boxes were phased out decades ago and often struggle to support modern appliance loads safely. Many insurers now flag or refuse to cover homes with an active fuse panel. We replace fuse boxes with a properly rated modern breaker panel.
A voltage drop when a large appliance kicks on usually points to a panel or service capacity that is stretched too thin. Left unaddressed, the strain can shorten the lifespan of connected electronics. We evaluate the panel and service size and upgrade what the load requires.
Panels rated at 60 amps or less were common decades ago but rarely support today's combination of appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment. Overloading an undersized panel increases fire risk over time. We upgrade to 100 or 200 amps based on the home's actual usage.
Level 2 EV chargers and hot tubs both draw significant continuous power that many existing panels were never designed to handle. Installing one without confirming panel capacity first can trip breakers or worse. We calculate the added load and upgrade the panel before the new equipment goes in.
Unusual noise from a panel often signals a loose connection or arcing inside the enclosure, both of which are fire hazards. This is not a symptom to wait on, since arcing tends to worsen quickly. We shut down and inspect the panel immediately and replace failing components.
Discoloration or a burning odor near the panel indicates heat buildup from a failing connection or overloaded circuit. This is one of the clearest warning signs of an imminent electrical fire. We treat this as an urgent call and assess the panel the same day whenever possible.
A previous owner or unlicensed installer sometimes connects two circuits to a single breaker slot, which the breaker isn't rated to handle safely. These issues typically surface during an ESA inspection and must be corrected before a panel passes. We fix improper wiring as part of every upgrade.
Some homes only need a few circuits corrected rather than a full panel replacement, while others genuinely need more capacity. Guessing wrong means either overpaying or leaving a real safety issue unresolved. We assess the panel honestly and recommend only the scope of work the home actually needs.
Our house still had the original fuse panel from the 1960s and insurance was starting to ask questions about it. Electrical Services Ontario swapped it for a 200-amp breaker panel in a single day and walked me through what each new breaker controlled before they left.
I didn't realize a permit was even required until they explained the process upfront. Everything was submitted and the inspection passed on the first try, no follow-up visits needed.
The panel install itself went fine and the electrician was clear about what was happening at each step. The hydro company took almost three weeks to send someone out to update the service drop, which wasn't Electrical Services Ontario's fault but did stretch the overall timeline more than I expected.
We knew our old 100-amp panel wouldn't support a level 2 charger and the technician confirmed it during the assessment. Went with 200 amps instead and the charger installer had zero issues connecting to it afterward.
It was such a small annoyance that I'd been living with for years. Electrical Services Ontario installed the new panel with properly sized breakers and I actually notice the difference every laundry day now.
The electrician found some code issues from a previous owner's DIY work and explained exactly why they needed fixing before the new panel could pass inspection. Appreciated the honesty instead of just being handed a bigger bill with no context.

Tell us what is happening — no power, a breaker that will not reset, or a planned upgrade. We talk it through and book a time that works for you, including same-day for urgent calls.
A licensed electrician looks at the actual panel, circuit, and load rather than quoting over the phone, then gives you a firm written price with the scope set out line by line.
The electrician who quoted the job does the work. Drop sheets go down, permits are filed where the work calls for it, and you get an update before anything changes from the plan.
Every circuit is tested before we close the panel, the inspection is booked and the certificate handed over, and our labour is warrantied for two years.
