Electrical Panel Upgrades Toronto & GTA

Your home’s electrical panel is the heart of its power system — it distributes electricity to every outlet, appliance, and light fixture. Over time, older panels become overloaded or outdated, leading to frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, and potential fire hazards.

At Pioneer Electrics, we provide professional electrical panel upgrade services in Toronto and the GTA, ensuring your home or business has a safe, efficient, and code-compliant power system. Our licensed and ESA-certified electricians specialize in upgrading old fuse boxes and installing modern breaker panels that meet today’s electrical demands.

Why Upgrade Your Electrical Panel

Electrical panels installed decades ago were not designed for modern power usage. With today’s homes running multiple high-consumption appliances — from air conditioners to EV chargers and smart home devices — an outdated panel simply can’t keep up.

Upgrading your electrical panel helps you:

Prevent overloaded circuits and power outages
Reduce fire risks from overheating or short circuits
Support new appliances and home renovations
Improve overall electrical efficiency and reliability
Comply with ESA and Ontario Electrical Code requirements

If you’re experiencing flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or a burning smell near your panel, it’s time to call Pioneer Electrics for an inspection.

Our Electrical Panel Upgrade Services

At Pioneer Electrics, we offer a full range of panel upgrade and replacement services for residential, commercial, and industrial clients across Toronto.

1. Fuse Box Replacement

Older homes often still have fuse boxes, which are outdated and not compatible with today’s energy needs. We safely remove old fuse panels and replace them with breaker-based systems, improving reliability and convenience.

Benefits of upgrading from fuses to breakers:

No more replacing blown fuses
Improved protection and reset capability
Increased capacity for modern electronics
Enhanced fire and overload safety

2. Breaker Panel Installation and Replacement

We install modern breaker panels designed for higher electrical loads and future expansions. Whether it’s a 100A, 200A, or 400A system, we ensure all wiring, grounding, and circuits are properly configured and ESA-inspected.

Our panel installations include:

Load calculation and design
Main breaker and subpanel setup
Circuit labeling and organization
Surge protection installation
ESA inspection and certification

3. Service Upgrades (100A to 200A or Higher)

If you’re planning to install central air conditioning, a home EV charger, or upgrade your kitchen, your current service may not have enough capacity. We provide electrical service upgrades, increasing your amperage from 100A to 200A or even higher, depending on your property’s needs.

This includes coordination with Hydro One or your local utility provider to safely replace the meter base and service cables as needed.

4. Subpanel Installation

For large homes, additions, or detached garages, a subpanel can help distribute power more efficiently without overloading your main panel. Our electricians install subpanels for workshops, basements, and new home extensions with full compliance to electrical codes.

5. Panel Relocation or Consolidation

If your electrical panel is located in a difficult-to-access or non-compliant area, we can relocate it to a safer, more convenient spot. We also consolidate multiple panels into one modern system to simplify maintenance and improve safety.

6. Surge Protection Integration

We offer whole-home surge protection as part of your panel upgrade. This protects sensitive electronics — such as computers, smart TVs, and appliances — from power surges and voltage spikes caused by storms or grid issues.
