Panel upgrades
in Burnaby
An older panel that can't keep up with today's loads gets replaced with a 200A service that can handle the full house. The permit, utility disconnect, and inspection are all coordinated, and you get the sign-off paperwork at the end.
What this covers
Panel upgrades, done properly
Most Burnaby houses built before the eighties are running a panel that was never meant to carry a heat pump, an EV charger and a hot tub at once. If your breakers trip when the dryer and the oven run together, that's what you're looking at.
We handle the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect, and book the inspection. You get the sign-off paperwork at the end, which matters when you sell.

Questions
Panel upgrades: what people ask
How do I know if my panel actually needs to be upgraded?
The clearest signs are breakers that trip when you run two heavy appliances at the same time, or a panel that was never sized for modern loads like a heat pump, EV charger, or hot tub. Many Burnaby homes built before the eighties are still running 100A service, which simply wasn't designed for what households draw today. If you aren't sure, call us or send a message and we can talk through what you're seeing.
What does the process involve from start to finish?
We handle the permit, coordinate the utility disconnect so the work can be done safely, complete the upgrade, and then book the inspection. At the end you receive the sign-off paperwork, which matters if you ever come to sell the home.
Can you add a sub-panel for a suite or workshop at the same time?
Yes, we do sub-panel work for suites and shops as part of the same job or as a standalone project. If you have a suite or a detached shop in mind, mention it when you reach out and we'll include it in your written quote.

The Rest of What We Do
EV chargers
A Level 2 charger circuit gets installed so overnight charging actually fills the battery by morning. The load calculation comes first, and the rebate application gets filled in properly so the money doesn't go unclaimed.
Read moreRewiring
Knob-and-tube and aluminium wiring replaced in sections so the house stays livable throughout the work. Insurance documentation comes with it, and the place gets left tidy at the end of each day.
Read moreLighting
Pot lights, under-cabinet strips, exterior fittings, and landscape lighting wired and switched properly. Dimmers and smart switches get factored in from the start, not added as an afterthought.
Read moreTroubleshooting
Electrical faults that have been quietly ignored — tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights — traced to their actual cause. You find out exactly what it was, not a best guess.
Read moreCommercial
Tenant improvements, three-phase service, lighting retrofits, and scheduled maintenance handled to commercial inspection standards. Deadlines involving other trades and a landlord are part of the work, not an exception to it.
