Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a panel upgrade cost in Grande Prairie?
A standard 100A to 200A panel upgrade typically costs $2,500 to $4,500 depending on your home's specific requirements. Factors that affect cost include meter base replacement, the number of circuits, and any code upgrades needed. We provide free, detailed quotes.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades are completed in one day (6-8 hours). Complex upgrades involving meter base replacement or extensive circuit work may take up to two days.
Will I lose power during the upgrade?
Yes — your power will be off while we swap the panel, typically for 4-6 hours. We'll let you know the schedule upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Often, yes. Most Level 2 EV chargers require a 40A or 50A circuit. If your panel is already at capacity (common with 100A panels), you'll need an upgrade to support the additional load safely.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Common signs include: breakers tripping frequently, running out of breaker spaces, needing to add high-draw equipment (EV charger, hot tub, shop heater), or having a panel that's over 25 years old.
