200 Amp Panels are the new standard for new, average size Canadian homes and are designed for the new home’s updated electrical capacity needs. New homes in Canada are now being built with a 200 Amp service as standard, as there are needs for modern needs for appliances such as air conditioning units, heat pumps, and increasingly a demand for Level 2 EV chargers.
If you currently have a 100 Amp service, then, the addition of any of the above, along with your existing electric Range Oven, & Dryer, you should consult with us before adding any other large electrical load. For every visit to quote for additional appliance work, we carry out a site load calculation to Canadian Electrical Code Standards and can provide advice on whether you have the required capacity available.

A new 200 Amp panel containing new circuit breakers can reasonably be expected to perform well for the next 25-30 years. Different manufacturers such as Schneider, Square D, Siemens, all provide varying levels of warranty on their products, which we can advise on.
