Electrical panel upgrade Thunder Bay ON
You’ve heard the expression “he’s blown a fuse!” That was more relevant back in the day when fuses were commonly used. These days, you’ll find circuit breakers in more modern homes. An electrical panel houses these circuit breakers, whose main function is to provide an important safety mechanism in the event of a fault, thereby preventing an electrical overload from creating a fire hazard.

- If you upgrade electrical panel to 200 amps, from an efficiency and safety standpoint, you should expect to: prevent fire risks, enjoy a steady flow of electricity (reducing faulty or malfunctioning appliances or lights), and enjoy fewer power surges.
- Save money: since appliances will run more efficiently, you may see a reduced electric bill. Plus, your home insurance cost will likely be lower. Bonus: your home value will be higher than if the electrical panel wasn’t upgraded.
- Large home remodel or suite addition: a larger square footage of space using power will require an electrical upgrade.
- Overuse of extension cords and power bars can indicate that you risk overloading these tools. For upgrading considerations, you can let each circuit run directly from the panel or install a new outlet and circuit.
