Electrical Panel Upgrade in Burlington

A charger draws real power, and not every panel has room to spare. Plenty of homes in Aldershot, Roseland, and the older parts of the city were built with 100 amp service that is already close to capacity once you count the furnace, stove, and central air. Before we add a charger, we run a load calculation to see what your panel can actually handle.

When an upgrade is the right call, we handle the service change end to end, including the coordination with Burlington Hydro and the ESA permit and inspection. Stepping up to a 200 amp panel does more than power your charger; it leaves headroom for a heat pump, a hot tub, or a second EV later, so you are not back at square one in a couple of years.

The day itself is more routine than people expect. Burlington Hydro handles the disconnect and reconnect, our electrician swaps the panel, and power is typically back the same day. We book the ESA inspection right behind it, and where timing allows, the charger circuit goes in during the same visit so the whole project closes out at once.

What you end up with is more than a slot for the charger. A modern 200-amp panel with clear labelling and room to spare changes what the house can do next, whether that is a heat pump, an induction range, or a second EV when the household adds one. And if your existing panel already has the headroom, we will skip the upgrade, show you the numbers, and quote only the charger.
