Electrical Upgrade Services
Welcome to Muskoka Electric! As your trusted local electricians, we specialize in comprehensive Electrical Service Upgrades, including 100 amp and 200 amp services, to ensure your home or business meets today’s power demands safely and efficiently.
Why Upgrade Your Electrical Service?
Upgrading your electrical service is essential for safety and functionality in a modern home. Increased energy demands due to new appliances, more electronic devices, and advanced home automation systems make older systems outdated and often unsafe. Here’s why upgrading is crucial:
- Safety: Prevents overloads, which can cause fires.
- Capacity: Supports more appliances and high-tech devices simultaneously.
- Value: Increases your home’s market value and appeal.
Understanding Electrical Service Upgrades
An Electrical Service Upgrade involves replacing your old electrical panel with a new one that can handle more capacity, typically moving from 100 amp to 200 amp service. This upgrade may include replacing old wiring and installing new circuits to ensure compliance with current electrical codes and to enhance electrical distribution.
Upgrading from 100a to 200a
- Scope: Includes installing a larger panel that can handle more circuits and greater overall load.
- Target Customers: Ideal for owners of older homes or buildings undergoing renovations that will include high-power appliances or additional living spaces.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Electrical Panel
- Reliability: Newer systems are less prone to issues like flickering lights or unexpected power outages.
- Expansion: More room for circuits means easier additions and renovations.
- Efficiency: Modern panels are built to be more energy-efficient, which can help reduce your energy bills.
Common Problems Solved by Upgrades
- Frequent Breaker Trips: Indicates that your current system is overloaded.
- Insufficient Power Supply: Unable to add new appliances or systems due to lack of capacity.
- Safety Hazards: Old panels, especially those with fuses, are fire risks.

Permits required for an electrical service upgrade vary by location but generally include a building permit and an electrical permit. We handle all necessary paperwork and ensure that all upgrades meet local regulations and codes.
While it is technically possible, upgrading from 100a to 200a involves complex electrical work that should be performed by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and compliance with electrical codes.
An electrical service upgrade can typically be completed within one to two days, depending on the complexity of the job and the condition of existing wiring.
During an electrical service upgrade, there will be a temporary power outage in your property. We strive to minimize disruptions and will coordinate with you to find the most convenient time for the upgrade.
Upgrading your electrical service may be necessary for installing a home charging station, especially if your current service cannot handle the additional load. We can assess your system and provide recommendations.
To prepare for an upgrade, ensure that the area around your electrical panel is clear and accessible. Additionally, consider what appliances or systems might be impacted during the temporary power outage.
If you frequently experience issues like circuit breaker trips or your electrical panel is hot to the touch, it may indicate that a more comprehensive system review and upgrade beyond just increasing amperage are necessary.
