Selecting the Appropriate Type and Capacity for Your Residence
To make a house more secure and energy efficient, it is necessary to upgrade the electrical panel. To reduce risks, keep up with rising energy consumption, and stay in compliance with Ontario's electrical codes, Aurora homeowners must know how to choose the right kind and capacity of electrical panel.
Upgrade Your Electrical Panel: What Are the Benefits?
1. First, there's the issue of safety compliance; older panels could not be up to code with the current Ontario Electrical Safety Code, which could lead to fires and overloads in electrical circuits.
2. Support for Modern Appliances: Due to the increasing number of high-demand devices installed in homes, such as electric car chargers, hot tubs, and smart home systems, older panels sometimes cannot handle the burden.
3. Home Improvements and Additions: Adding on to your home usually means adding more circuits, which means you'll need to improve your panel.
4. Insurance Requirements: Some insurance companies will not cover homes that have electrical panels that are too old or that use fuses.
Deciding on the Right Electrical Panel
1. Panels for Main Breakers
A main breaker controls the electricity to the entire house and is located in the panels. Ideal for large properties or those expecting rapid expansion in the near future.
2. Primary Lug Surfaces
These panels are suitable for sub-panel installations in garages or workshops since they use a separate disconnect in situations where there isn't a main breaker.
3. Subpanels
Perfect for extending circuits to auxiliary rooms like basements or outside regions without overwhelming the main panel.
4. Smart electrical panels
For homeowners who are tech-savvy, smart panels allow for remote control and real-time energy monitoring via mobile devices.
Finding the Right Capacity
Your home's safe electrical consumption is directly proportional to the panel's capacity, which is measured in amps. Just about every modern house in Aurora needs:
· 100-amp panels: Homes with fewer electrical appliances and lower energy needs can benefit from 100-amp panels.
· 200-amp panels: For typical, medium-sized homes with modern appliances, 200-amp panels will suffice.
· 400-amp panels: Electric vehicle chargers, swimming pools, and other large properties or those with significant energy demands are better suited to 400-amp panels.
Considerations Impacting Capacity Requirements:
1. Home size and age – The size and age of the home are important considerations; rewiring may be necessary for older homes in order to install panels with higher capacities.
2. Appliance Load – Check the air conditioner, electric stove, and any other appliances that use a lot of power.
3. Future Plans – Thirdly, think about improvements that could be made in the future, such adding solar panels or extending your home.
