200-400 amp upgrades • EV-ready homes • Licensed electricians

Electrical panel upgrades are an important consideration for homeowners across Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, especially in older properties. Many homes are still equipped with 100-amp panels, which were once sufficient but often struggle to support today’s electrical demands.

Problems with old 100-amp panels

Homes built in the mid-20th century were not designed for modern energy consumption. With the addition of air conditioning, electric water heaters, EV chargers, and smart home systems, older panels can quickly reach their limits. This may lead to:

Frequent circuit breaker trips
Overheating wiring and components
Increased risk of electrical hazards or fire
Limited capacity for new appliances and upgradess

When to upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp

Upgrading to a 200-amp panel is one of the most common solutions for modern households. It is typically recommended if:

You are planning a renovation or home expansion
You are switching to electric heating systems
You want to install a Level 2 EV charger
Your breakers trip frequently under normal use

The cost to upgrade from 100-amp to 200-amp service typically starts at around $2,500 CAD, depending on the property and installation requirements.

When a 400-amp upgrade is necessary

While a 200-amp panel is sufficient for most homes, some properties require more capacity. A 400-amp upgrade may be needed if:

The home exceeds 4,000 sq. ft.
There is a workshop or high-powered equipment
The property includes multiple units or rental spaces

The cost for upgrading from 200-amp to 400-amp service typically starts at $6,500 CAD.

Upgrading your electrical panel ensures your home has a safe, reliable system capable of handling modern electrical needs. If your current panel is outdated, upgrading to 200-amp or 400-amp service can improve safety, prevent overloads, and prepare your home for future technologies.

Vitaliy and his team did an amazing job replacing my 200 amp electrical panel.

Our first contract with Vicamp Electric was in 2014 and since then we have hired them 4 more times. The team is reliable, arrives on time, completes work within the estimated time frame, cleans up after the job is finished and provides competitive pricing.

Yes. Electrical panel upgrades in Ontario require an ESA permit and must be completed by a licensed electrician. The installation must also pass an inspection according to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
