200-Amp Electrical Panel Upgrades in Maple Ridge
If you're upgrading your home with a new EV charger or a high-efficiency heat pump, your old electrical panel might be the "bottleneck." We specialize in taking homes from outdated panels to modern, reliable 200-amp service.
200A Panel Upgrades
Our Process, Start to Finish
Five steps, one point of contact, no surprises along the way.
We come out, look at your existing service, and run a proper load calculation — not a guess. This tells us exactly what your home needs and whether 200A is even the right call, or if a smaller upgrade would do the job.
You get one number, in writing, before anything starts. It covers labour, materials, permit fees, and BC Hydro coordination — no add-ons discovered halfway through the job.
We file the electrical permit and coordinate the BC Hydro disconnect/reconnect ourselves. You don't have to chase paperwork, book the utility shutdown, or figure out municipal requirements.
Josh does the work personally — same person who quoted the job. Old panel out, new one in, clean conduit and labeling throughout. Most 200A upgrades wrap in a single day, power back on by evening.
We coordinate the final inspection so your permit closes out properly, and hand you the documentation you need for any CleanBC or BC Hydro rebate you qualify for.
Same electrician, start to finish. Call or Text (604) 345-2005 for a free assessment.

Signs your panel needs an upgrade
Two or more of these and it is worth a call.
24/7 Emergency Electrical Panel Troubleshooting
Electrical failures don't wait for business hours. When breakers won't reset, outlets spark, or critical power drops, our master-certified team is ready to secure and restore your home safely.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in BC?
Costs typically range from $3,000 to $6,500 depending on the complexity of the job, materials required, and whether your service is overhead or underground. We provide one firm, written quote after a free load calculation.
Will BC Hydro need to change my meter?
In most cases, yes. When upgrading from an older service to a modern 200-amp panel, BC Hydro typically requires a new meter base installed by a licensed contractor.
Can I get a rebate for a panel upgrade?
Yes, depending on current provincial and federal programs. You can often qualify for CleanBC or BC Hydro rebates, especially if the panel upgrade is tied to installing energy-efficient upgrades like a heat pump or an EV charger. We provide all the necessary paperwork to help you claim these.
How long will my power be off?
Most 200A panel upgrades are completed in a single day. Your power will typically be disconnected in the morning and safely restored by the evening.
Do you handle the permitting for this work?
Absolutely. We file the required electrical permits and manage all coordination with BC Hydro for your disconnect and reconnect. You won't have to chase any paperwork.
How do I tell if my existing panel is 100-amp or 200-amp?
Check the main breaker switch at the top or bottom of your panel inside the door. It will usually have a number stamped on it, such as 100 or 200. If you have an older fuse box or are unsure, we verify your system capacity during our free home assessment.
