Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my panel needs upgrading?
Signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, a warm panel, scorch marks, limited free space for new breakers, or an older fuse-style panel. If you're adding major new loads like an EV charger, an assessment is a good idea regardless of symptoms.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel replacements are completed in a single day. Larger service upgrades or panels with extensive rewiring can take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before any work begins.
Can I just replace a breaker instead of the whole panel?
Often, yes. If your panel has capacity and is in good condition, replacing a faulty breaker or adding a circuit may be all you need. We'll always recommend the smallest solution that solves the problem safely.
Do you work on panels in older Aurora homes?
Yes. Many homes in Aurora and York Region were built decades ago, and we regularly work with older panels, wiring and service equipment. We'll assess what you have and explain your options honestly.
