We've helped homeowners work through every version of an overloaded panel. Here are the problems our clients call us about most often.
A panel with no open breaker slots left means no new circuits can be added, whether it's a renovation, an appliance, or a new outlet. Continuing to squeeze circuits onto shared breakers overloads the wiring over time. We install a properly sized sub panel to give the home real spare capacity again.
Repeated trips in one part of the house usually mean too many devices are sharing a single circuit that was never sized for that load. Ignoring it risks overheating at the breaker and the wiring behind it. We separate the load onto a dedicated sub panel so each circuit runs within a safe range.
A basement renovation usually adds lighting, outlets, and sometimes a kitchenette or bathroom, all of which need power the existing panel wasn't built to supply. Wiring a finished space back into an already-tight main panel creates the same overload problem down the road. We add a sub panel sized specifically for the new space.
Running extension cords to a garage or workshop is a common workaround, but it's a fire risk and can't handle real tool loads or a heater. Continuing to rely on cords instead of proper wiring puts both the structure and the equipment at risk. We run a dedicated feed and install a sub panel built for the space's actual power needs.
A secondary suite needs its own electrical distribution separate from the main house, both for code compliance and for practical metering and safety. Trying to feed a full apartment off the existing main panel usually overloads it fast. We install a dedicated sub panel sized for the suite's full electrical load.
A Level 2 EV charger draws a significant, continuous load that many older panels simply don't have room for. Adding one without addressing panel capacity first can overload the main service. We assess whether a sub panel or a full panel upgrade is the right fit for the charger's draw.
Fuse boxes were never designed for the number of circuits modern homes need, and they can't simply be expanded with more slots. Continuing to run a growing household off an outdated fuse box increases fire risk with every added appliance. We assess whether a sub panel or full panel replacement solves the capacity problem.
Opening up walls during a renovation often reveals wiring and panel capacity that was adequate decades ago but isn't anymore. Closing the walls back up without addressing capacity means redoing the work later at a much higher cost. We assess whether a sub panel makes sense while the walls are already open.
Homeowners often can't tell whether adding a sub panel solves the problem or whether the whole system needs a bigger upgrade first. Guessing wrong means paying for work that doesn't actually fix the capacity issue. We calculate the home's total load and give a clear, honest recommendation either way.
Our main panel had zero open slots left and every new project meant moving something else around. Electrical Services Ontario added a 100-amp sub panel to the garage and now the workshop tools, the heater, and the EV charger all run on their own dedicated circuits without a second thought.
We were finishing a basement apartment and needed a separate panel for the unit. The electrician walked me through amperage before we started and the ESA inspection passed the first time. Straightforward from quote to completion.
The install itself was clean and the panel labeling is easy to read. Power was off for about an hour more than the original estimate because Electrical Services Ontario took extra care with the main panel connection, which the technician explained clearly once he saw it up close.
Our kitchen appliances kept fighting the laundry room for the same circuit. A new sub panel separated the loads and we haven't had a single trip since. The technician also flagged two outlets that weren't grounded properly and fixed those in the same visit.
I had no idea ESA notification was required until Electrical Services Ontario walked me through it. They handled the paperwork and scheduled the inspection so I didn't have to chase anyone down. The panel itself is tucked neatly against the wall and looks professional.
We built a laneway suite and needed a dedicated sub panel to feed it separately from the main house. The crew ran the wiring cleanly through the existing structure and the whole thing passed inspection without a single follow-up required.

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.
