Electrical Panel Upgrade, 100A to 200A- 400A Upgrade, Overhead and Underground service, Residential, Commercial, Industrial
Upgrading your electrical panel is an important step to ensure that your property’s electrical system can safely support today’s growing power needs. Whether you're upgrading from 100A to 200A or from 200A to 400A, Kiyan Electric Inc. offers professional service for both overhead and underground systems. We handle residential, commercial, and industrial panel upgrades, and all work is performed in compliance with the Ontario Electrical Safety Code and under ESA permits. Our team of licensed electricians and master electricians is committed to delivering safe, efficient, and code-compliant upgrades.
why you should upgrade your Electrical panel to 200A or fuse to breaker panel
Older panels—especially fuse boxes rated at 60A or 100A—were not designed to handle the electrical demands of today’s homes, which often include EV chargers, HVAC units, electric stoves, and many high-powered appliances. Upgrading to a 200A breaker panel or replacing a fuse panel with a modern breaker system reduces the risk of overloaded circuits, improves safety, and ensures your system meets current electrical standards. Some insurance providers may also require panel upgrades for continued coverage. Trust Kiyan Electric Inc., a licensed electrical contractor, to carry out the upgrade with all required ESA inspections and permits.
What is an Electrical fuse panel or breaker panel?
The electrical panel is the main component of an electrical distribution system that divides electrical power to the branch circuits while providing protection devices for each circuit in a common enclosure. The electrical panel provides electricity to your home’s and business’s equipment. Power from the electrical utility company flows into your residential and commercial properties through this panel, branching out into major electrical branches and then smaller branches in order to distribute power. It pulls electricity in and distributes it to all your various switches and outlets. A properly functioning electrical panel is essential to the safety and productivity of your home and your business.
Breaker arrangement

Breakers are usually arranged in two columns. In North American-style boards, breaker positions are numbered left to right, along each row from top to bottom. This numbering system is universal among numerous competitive manufacturers of breaker panels.
The capacity of your panel comes down to how much power it can safely distribute to your home. The standard capacities nowadays are 200 and 400 amps, while most older homes still have 60-, 100-, and 150-amp panels, including fuse box panels or breaker panels. While 100 amps was plenty of power when many electrical panels were installed, these panels have become increasingly strained as modern homes have many more devices running all at once.
Kiyan Electric often recommends that homeowners with smaller service panels or fuse boxes consider upgrading to a 200A breaker panel or converting a 60A or 80A fuse panel to a 100A or 200A breaker panel, depending on their energy usage and future plans.
