Update Electrical Panel: A Smart Upgrade for Safety, Power & Peace of Mind
These days, our homes and businesses rely on electricity more than ever. From charging phones and laptops to running heating systems, air conditioners, EV chargers, and smart devices, the demand on our electrical systems continues to grow. Unfortunately, many older properties across the Greater Toronto Area are still using outdated electrical panels that were never designed for modern power usage.
This is why an electrical panel update is no longer just an upgrade — it’s a necessary step to protect your property, your investment, and your loved ones.
At Kiyan Electric Inc., we provide professional, code-compliant electrical panel update services across the GTA. As an ESA-certified contractor and Master Electrical Contractor based in Richmond Hill, we ensure your new panel is installed safely, legally, and according to Ontario Electrical Code requirements.
What Does It Really Mean to Update an Electrical Panel?
An electrical panel update involves replacing your old or unsafe electrical panel with a modern circuit breaker panel that can properly handle today’s power demands. This often includes:
· Replacing old fuse panels with a modern breaker system
· Increasing capacity from 100 amp to 200 amp or more
· Installing new, safer circuit breakers
· Improving grounding and bonding
· Creating room for future electrical additions
A new panel allows electricity to flow safely and evenly throughout your property. This is especially important if you are planning to install an EV charger, hot tub, heat pump, new appliances, or basement renovation.
Common Warning Signs Your Panel Needs an Update
Many property owners don’t notice an issue until something goes wrong. Here are some signs that often indicate it’s time to call a licensed electrical contractor:
· Breakers trip frequently
· Lights flicker or dim
· You smell something burning near the panel
· The panel feels warm or makes buzzing noises
· You still have a fuse box
· Rust, corrosion, or visible damage on the panel
· No space to add new circuits
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s a good idea to book a professional inspection with Kiyan Electric Inc.
Why Updating Your Electrical Panel Is a Safety Priority
Old or overloaded electrical panels are a major cause of electrical fires. When too much current passes through outdated wiring, it can overheat, melt insulation, or create sparks behind the walls.
An electrical panel update helps to:
· Reduce the risk of electrical fires
· Prevent shocks and short circuits
· Protect expensive appliances and electronics
· Bring your system up to Ontario Electrical Code standards
· Improve overall safety in your home or business
At Kiyan Electric Inc., every panel update includes an ESA permit and a full inspection to make sure everything is safe and compliant.
Better Efficiency + Higher Property Value
A modern electrical panel also improves energy efficiency. It distributes power more effectively and shuts off faster in case of overloads or faults. This helps reduce wasted power and protects your system long-term.
In addition, an updated electrical panel is a big selling point for future buyers. It shows that the property has been maintained professionally and is ready for today’s technology, including:
· EV charger installation
· Solar power systems
· Smart home upgrades
· Electric heating & heat pumps
· High-efficiency appliances
Whether you plan to stay long-term or sell in the future, a panel update is a solid investment.
