Assess the existing service
Panel condition, service rating, available spaces and planned loads are reviewed together.
Panels and service capacity
Electrical panel and service upgrades across the GTA.
Older services were not designed around today’s EV chargers, electric appliances, additions and finished basements. Electrical Standard assesses the existing equipment and plans the panel or service work around the loads you actually intend to use.
Common needs
When a panel assessment makes sense
Not every electrical problem requires a new panel. The condition, available space and calculated demand should drive the recommendation.
- A fuse panel or aging breaker equipment
- No breaker space for planned circuits
- A planned EV charger, renovation or major electric load
- Repeated panel-related faults or damaged components
- A 60A or 100A service that may no longer suit the property
- A need for a subpanel or better circuit organization
What is included
Panel and service work
The scope may involve only the distribution panel or a coordinated service upgrade involving your local electricity utility and ESA.
- Existing panel and service assessment
- Fuse-to-breaker panel conversions
- 100A and 200A panel replacements or service upgrades
- Subpanels and capacity planning for new loads
- Utility shutdown and service coordination when applicable
- ESA notification, inspection and clear circuit labelling
Pricing and preparation
What affects
the price?
We confirm the scope and pricing structure before you authorize work. A diagnosis or site assessment may be needed before the full repair or installation can be quoted.
- Panel replacement alone versus a full service-capacity upgrade
- Condition of the service equipment, grounding and bonding
- Utility coordination and required shutdown work
- Existing circuits, access, labelling and ESA requirements
Before we speak: Send photos of the closed panel and service rating, plus the appliances or equipment you plan to add. A panel replacement and an upgrade to the incoming electrical service are different scopes.

Coordinate the project
The quote identifies panel work, utility involvement, ESA requirements and any property preparation.
Upgrade and verify
The approved work is completed, labelled, tested and prepared for the required inspection.
Service questions
Useful answers
before you call.
Do I automatically need 200A service for an EV charger?
No. A 200A upgrade may be appropriate, but it should not be assumed. A load calculation and equipment review can show whether the existing service, a reduced charging rate or an approved energy-management option is suitable.
Who coordinates the electricity utility and ESA?
When the project requires utility work and an ESA notification, Electrical Standard coordinates those steps within the agreed scope and explains any customer forms or access requirements.
Can you replace a fuse panel with breakers?
Yes. The surrounding service, grounding and bonding, circuit condition and available replacement equipment are reviewed so the conversion is scoped properly rather than treated as a simple box swap.
