Electrical Panel Upgrades and Load Calculations
When your electrical requirements exceed an outdated panel's capacity, a well-designed upgrade paired with exact load calculations stops nuisance tripping, overheating, and code violations. You need a licensed electrician to evaluate service capacity, connected loads, and future expansion. We calculate demand factors, verify feeder ratings, and size a new main panel that meets Ontario Electrical Code requirements. Accurate breaker balancing across phases minimizes neutral loading and voltage drop, boosting stability under peak conditions.
We additionally assess short-circuit currents, fault ratings, and selective coordination to make sure protective devices clear faults safely.

We label circuits, tighten terminations to torque requirements, and test grounding and bonding, ensuring a safe, compliant upgrade.
EV Charging Station Installation and Circuit Planning
Start by confirming your EV charger's load requirements and how they influence your home's demand profile. Subsequently, you assess panel capacity and breaker space to confirm a dedicated circuit meets Code without overloading the system. Finally, you secure required permits and verify available Toronto and Ontario rebates before installation to ensure compliance and minimize expenses.
Fundamentals of Load Assessment
Why launch an EV charger project without first establishing if your service can handle it? Initiate with a clear load assessment. Document all major appliances, HVAC, water heating, lighting, and typical plug loads. Document nameplate ratings, breaker sizes, and expected run times. Apply demand diversity to reflect realistic, non-simultaneous usage, then calculate peak and typical loads in amps at 240V and 120V. Evaluate circuit balancing across phases to maintain currents even, reduce neutral stress, and minimize voltage drop.
Assess the EV charger's continuous load at 125% of its rated capacity per code. Determine when charging will happen and how it overlaps with laundry, heating, and cooking. Factor in future additions. Document results, assumptions, and safety margins. If your results approach limits, change schedules or lower charger capacity before moving forward.
Electrical Panel Capacity Assessments
Although your load assessment determines demand, check the panel can safely deliver it. Begin by verifying the main breaker rating and the panel's busbar ampacity; your EV circuit must not surpass these limits. Inspect available breaker spaces and proper breaker spacing to eliminate overheating and nuisance trips. Test actual load with a clamp meter under typical household conditions, then compare to calculated demand to verify headroom.
Examine conductor dimensions, terminations, and torque values. Check for heat discoloration, corrosion, or brittle insulation-indicators indicating the panel's service life is near completion. Ensure grounding and bonding integrity, and AFCI/GFCI needs don't surpass available capacity. If space or capacity is tight, consider a subpanel or a service upgrade. Log results before finalizing an EV charger circuit size and placement.
Permits and Rebate Programs
Prior to buying an EV charger or running wire, confirm local permitting requirements and rebate eligibility to avoid rework and delays. Toronto and most GTA municipalities mandate an electrical permit for new circuits, load management devices, and service upgrades. Have your electrician to submit drawings, specify breaker size, wire gauge, GFCI requirements, and mounting location to streamline approval.
Confirm permit timelines in advance; some jurisdictions complete simple residential EV circuits in days, while service upgrades could take weeks. Schedule inspections ahead of closing walls or pouring concrete. Retain receipts, model numbers, photos, and inspection reports to verify rebate eligibility.
Verify utility, municipal, federal, and provincial incentives. Several programs necessitate licensed installation, ESA inspection, and approved equipment lists. Schedule your purchase to coincide with funding windows and first-come programs.
