Why More Homes Need Electrical Upgrades
With the way homes are changing, we’re seeing a significant increase in electrical service upgrades across Vancouver and beyond. Gas heating is being phased out, and more homes are switching to heat pumps, air conditioning, and electric vehicle chargers. All of this adds electrical load — and many older homes simply don’t have enough power to keep up.
EV chargers, heat pumps, and A/C systems often require more capacity, and many older homes were never designed for today’s electrical demand.
Why You Might Need a 200A Service Upgrade
Some common reasons homes need service upgrades include:
- Upgrading from a 100-amp to a 200-amp panel
- Supporting modern electrical loads like EV chargers, heat pumps, and air conditioning
- Ensuring reliable power for home renovations or additions
- Power can be delivered via overhead or underground service
What Does a Service Upgrade Include?
Electrical service upgrades improve the safety, efficiency, and capacity of your system. Typical tasks include:
- Installing or upgrading electrical panels
- Wiring for new homes, additions, or renovations
- Installing outlets, switches, and ceiling fans
- Troubleshooting and repairing electrical issues
- General maintenance and code compliance checks
Upgrading your electrical service ensures your home or business can safely handle modern appliances, electronics, and equipment.
Why Service Upgrades Are Important
Service upgrades protect your property from electrical hazards, reduce the risk of power interruptions, and allow your system to meet the demands of today’s technology.
