A 200 amp service upgrade is one of the most important electrical investments a Toronto homeowner can make. Most homes built before the 1990s were wired with 60 or 100 amp service — far below what modern households need to safely power EV chargers, central air conditioning, electric ranges, hot tubs, and home offices simultaneously.

New Toronto Electric specializes in 200 amp service upgrades across Toronto and the GTA. Our licensed electricians handle every step: pulling the required permits, coordinating with Toronto Hydro or your local utility for the service drop, replacing the main panel and meter base, and scheduling the ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) inspection. You receive a fully permitted, inspected, and code-compliant 200 amp service with no hidden steps.

Signs you need a 200 amp upgrade include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights when appliances run, an inability to add new circuits, or a fuse box that hasn't been replaced. If you're planning an EV charger, hot tub, basement suite, or major renovation, upgrading to 200 amp service first is the right starting point.

In Toronto and the GTA, 200 amp upgrades typically take one day. We coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect so your downtime is minimal. All work is performed by ESA-licensed electricians and backed by our workmanship warranty.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much does a 200 amp service upgrade cost in Toronto?

A 200 amp service upgrade in Toronto typically costs $2,500–$4,500 depending on the scope of work, panel location, and whether a new meter base is required. New Toronto Electric provides free, no-obligation quotes. Call 647-642-0534 for a same-day estimate.

Do I need a permit for a 200 amp upgrade in Toronto?

Yes. All electrical service upgrades in Toronto require an ESA permit and inspection. New Toronto Electric handles the full permit process, coordinates with Toronto Hydro for the service disconnect, and schedules the ESA inspection — you don't need to manage any of this yourself.

How long does a 200 amp service upgrade take in Toronto?

Most 200 amp service upgrades in Toronto are completed in one day. We coordinate the utility disconnect in the morning, complete the panel and service entrance work, and restore power the same day. The ESA inspection is typically scheduled within 1–3 business days.

Do I need a 200 amp upgrade before installing an EV charger or hot tub?

In many cases, yes. Level 2 EV chargers (240V/40–50A) and hot tubs (240V/50–60A) require dedicated circuits that may exceed the capacity of a 60 or 100 amp service. New Toronto Electric will assess your current panel and advise whether an upgrade is needed before adding new loads.
