Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades in Oakville
We have upgraded services, replaced panels and added sub-panels in Oakville houses from Bronte to North Oakville. We deal with Oakville Hydro and ESA; you get a house that can carry what you want to add.
What brought our Oakville customers to us
An EV charger. The most common reason. In one Oakville house we upgraded two panels and installed the charger in the same job; in another the 200A service went in first and the charger followed.
A pool. Pumps, heaters and lights add up. For one backyard pool we fed a 100A sub-panel from the house so the pool equipment had its own supply.
A renovation or new lighting. A finished basement or a house full of new pot lights can push an old panel over the edge. One Oakville upgrade was done together with the pot lights that needed it.
An old panel. Sometimes nothing new is coming. The panel is simply old, full or hard to get parts for, and it is time.
Three ways to fix it, from cheapest
- A sub-panel — $999–$1,199. More breaker spaces, same service. Right when the panel is full but the house is not drawing too much.
- A new panel — from $1,599. A replacement on the service you already have.
- A 200A service upgrade — from $2,799. New panel, meter base, mast and cable from Oakville Hydro's connection in.
A load calculation tells us which one your house needs. Add $199 for the ESA permit and inspection. The full upgrade page has every price.
The Oakville Hydro part
Option 3, and sometimes option 2, means the power has to be cut at the street. In Oakville that is Oakville Hydro, not Alectra. We send them the disconnect request, book the date, do the work, and once ESA has inspected, Oakville Hydro reconnects. If there is a utility fee, it is theirs, and we tell you before you commit.
Plan for a weekday with the power off for most of the day.
Upgrade and charger together
If the upgrade is for an EV, book both at once: one permit, one inspection, one day without power, and 10% off the total. See EV chargers in Oakville.
