  • Electrical panels are typically found in your home's garage, basement, or utility room. (It’s important to note that the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) rule 26-600(1) specifically prohibits placing panelboards in closets, coal bins, bathrooms, stairways, or any other undesirable locations.) When you open the door, you'll find rows of switches or circuit breakers connected to different circuits on your property, which distribute main power into smaller branch lines. Your home's electrical panel should have labels that map out the locations of various appliances and outlets with numbers, letting you know how many amps each line can handle before the breaker switch trips and cuts off power.

  • Edmonton homes rely on a steady supply of electricity, and your panel is responsible for providing it for your entire house. However, your existing residential electric panel may not be able to handle your current household needs. That’s why our electricians will ensure the safety and efficiency of your home's electrical system when you contact us for electrical panel upgrades in Edmonton. Additionally, any panel that's more than 25 years old should be inspected by our licensed electricians.

  • Not sure if you need an electrical panel upgrade? Edmonton homeowners may find it isn’t always necessary, but many electrical panels installed in homes decades ago have been deemed unsafe, and they’re not up to code. If you have Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) electrical panels, Zinsco electrical panels, Pushmatic electrical panels, or fuse boxes, you should replace them immediately to ensure your home’s safety.

    At Mr. Electric, we do replacements without the upgrade in amperage all the time. Upgrades to 150a or 200a are dependent on utility infrastructure and can be costly or not possible. For safety reasons, our electricians recommend upgrading equipment to meet today’s electrical code. You can leave the upgrade 150a and 200a as a possibility or an option. Contact us to learn more!
