From aging main gear to expansion projects hitting capacity limits, here are the problems facilities call us about most often.
Decades-old switchgear develops worn breaker contacts, corroded bus connections, and components that no longer meet current standards. Continuing to operate on failing gear risks an unplanned outage that stops production entirely. We assess the existing equipment and plan a replacement that minimizes downtime.
Added production equipment or a building addition often pushes electrical demand past what the original switchgear was sized for. Running past rated capacity trips breakers and risks equipment damage. We size and install new switchgear based on actual load plus reasonable growth room.
Many facility managers don't realize certain service sizes require plans to be submitted and reviewed before switchgear work can begin. Starting work without the required approval risks a stop-work order mid-project. We handle plan submission and inspection scheduling as part of every installation.
Older distribution setups with feeders added piecemeal over the years become difficult to service and leave little room for new circuits. This crowding makes future changes slower and more expensive than they should be. We design a cleaner feeder arrangement with room built in for future additions.
A facility running continuous operations understandably worries that switchgear replacement means an extended shutdown. Poor planning can turn a routine swap into days of lost production. We schedule the outage window carefully and coordinate a phased approach where continuous operation matters most.
Switchgear installed in a cramped or poorly planned location makes routine maintenance slower and more dangerous for technicians. That access problem often gets worse as nearby equipment accumulates over time. We plan gear placement with proper clearance and access from the start.
New construction and major tenant build-outs need switchgear installed before other electrical trades can proceed with their work. Delays here hold up the entire project schedule. We coordinate directly with general contractors to keep switchgear installation on the critical path timeline.
Choosing the wrong voltage class for a facility's service leads to equipment that either underperforms or costs more than necessary. This decision depends on the building's actual service voltage and load profile, not a guess. We assess the facility and specify gear matched to the real electrical requirements.
Facility managers often sense that main gear is unreliable well before an actual failure occurs, based on age, visible wear, or a history of nuisance trips. Waiting for a failure to force the decision means dealing with an emergency instead of a planned project. We provide an honest assessment of remaining service life so the replacement happens on your schedule, not an emergency one.
Our 40-year-old main switchgear was overdue for replacement and we were dreading a long outage. Electrical Services Ontario scheduled the whole swap over a single weekend and had power fully restored before Monday's shift started. Everything passed ESA inspection on the first visit.
We had no idea our expansion required plan submission before work could start. The team managed the entire ESA process for us and kept us updated at every stage. What could have been a frustrating permitting headache turned into a smooth timeline.
The actual switchgear work went exactly as planned but coordinating the utility disconnect pushed our start date back about a week. The crew explained early that utility scheduling was out of their hands, and once they got the green light the install itself was fast and clean.
A previous quote from another company had us buying more capacity than we needed. Electrical Services Ontario did a proper load assessment first and specified switchgear that matched our real usage plus reasonable growth room, saving us a significant amount on the equipment cost.
We needed switchgear installed for a new manufacturing building before our equipment vendors arrived. Electrical Services Ontario coordinated directly with our general contractor and hit every milestone date, which kept the whole build on track.
During the site assessment the technician flagged that our planned equipment addition would exceed what our existing gear could safely handle. Better to hear that upfront than after a breaker started tripping. We upgraded proactively and haven't had a single issue since.

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.
Reach out to Electrical Services Ontario for panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers, generators, or emergency electrical repairs across Dutton.
