Why a 200 Amp Panel Upgrade Is Worth the Cost – What Homeowners in Ontario Should Know
If your home still has a 60-amp or 100-amp panel, you may be pushing your electrical system to its limits. Modern homes in Ontario rely on high-demand items such as large appliances, HVAC systems, and electric car chargers. All of these require a strong and safe supply of electricity.
A 200-amp electrical panel not only keeps the power on and prevents overloads but also increases your property value and makes it easier to implement future energy-efficient upgrades.
The Average Cost of Upgrading to 200 Amps in Ontario
It normally costs between $1,700 and $3,500 to upgrade an electrical panel to 200 amps, depending on how your property is structured and how much work is required. The total cost may vary for several reasons:
1. Type of Property – Detached houses frequently require more cable and labour than connected or semi-detached homes.
2. Panel Location – If your main electrical panel is far from the meter or main service line, you may need to run extra wire and conduit, which will increase the overall cost.
3. Accessibility – Installation can be more difficult if there are finished basements, narrow spaces, or obstacles behind walls.
4. Fees for ESA Permits and Inspections – The Ontario Electrical Code requires that all electrical work in Ontario obtain an ESA permit and pass inspection.
5. Replacement of the Service Mast or Meter Base – The meter base, service mast, or grounding system may also need modification to meet current safety standards.
A qualified contractor like Kiyan Electric Inc. will provide a precise, itemized estimate after checking the electrical system in your house.
Why Only Certified Electricians May Change Panels
In Ontario, it’s against the law for anyone other than a licensed Electrical Contractor to perform electrical work for hire. Even a certified electrician must work under a licensed contractor.
When you call Kiyan Electric Inc., you can be confident that they are fully licensed by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA), covered by WSIB insurance, and protected with $5 million liability insurance.
Our Master Electrician is in charge of every task to ensure your installation is safe, code-compliant, and ready for ESA inspection.
