  • Reliable, modern circuit breakers 

  • Improved fire protection and safety

  • Increased capacity for high-demand appliances, EV chargers, hot tubs, or renovations 

  • Compliance with electrical codes and insurance requirements

With FuseSmart, you get:

  • The cost of an electrical panel upgrade in Calgary depends on panel size, number of circuits, and any additional work needed. Typical ranges are $500–$1,500 for 100 amps, $850–$1,850 for 150 amps, and $1,500–$2,500+ for 200 amps. At FuseSmart, we provide a free assessment, expert advice and a detailed quote with no hidden fees, so you can make an informed decision before moving forward.

  • A 200 amp electrical service means your home’s panel can safely handle up to 200 amps of current, double the capacity of 100 amp systems. This is the modern standard for homes in Calgary, providing enough power to support high-demand appliances like EV chargers, air conditioners, hot tubs, or full-home renovations. Think of it as expanding the “traffic lanes” in your electrical system so everything runs safely and efficiently, even when multiple devices are in use.

  • Most upgrades are completed in one day. The timeline depends on your home’s electrical setup, panel accessibility, and coordination with your utility provider (Enmax). We’ll give you a clear time estimate during your consult, so you know exactly what to expect.

  • Yes, the City of Calgary requires a permit for all electrical installations, including panel upgrades, as a safety measure to ensure work is done correctly and up to code. At FuseSmart Electric, we take care of all permits and inspections for you. We have extensive knowledge of and experience with Calgary electrical permits and codes. Learn more about the Calgary permit requirements here.

  • Yes, but only for a short period. Most panel upgrades in Calgary require a few hours of power shutoff, which we coordinate in advance with Enmax. We schedule the disconnect, complete the upgrade efficiently, and ensure you're reconnected and fully powered the same day. You'll know exactly what to expect before we begin.

  • No, in Calgary, electrical panel replacements must be completed by a licensed electrician with the proper permits and inspections. Working on your own panel is not only illegal, but extremely dangerous. Improper installation can cause electrocution, fire hazards, and may void your home insurance.

  • Yes! We proudly serve Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, High River, Strathmore, Bragg Creek, Diamond Valley and more.
