We help you upgrade electrical panel capacity with a clear plan
Make room for your next electrical project with a review of your panel and power needs. We help you understand whether you need more circuit space, a replacement panel or a change to your electrical service.
Townside Electric
Licensed electricians
Find out what your next upgrade really needs
A full panel and a home that needs more power are different questions. We review the existing equipment and planned electrical use before recommending the scope.
Check the panel you have
We look at the panel condition and circuit space so the recommendation starts with your actual setup.
Include the equipment you want to add
Tell us about an EV charger, heat pump or kitchen change. We assess the electrical load alongside the equipment already in your home.
Understand panel and service work
Replacing a panel does not by itself increase the power supplied to your home. We explain whether your plans also call for a service upgrade.
Make the panel decision before buying new equipment
Knowing what your home can support helps you plan the full project budget. You can choose your next steps with the electrical work already in view.
Match the work to your plans
We consider what you want to add so the proposed panel work has a clear purpose in your home.
Prepare for the power interruption
We discuss the outage arrangements and access needed before the work is scheduled.
Know where coordination is needed
If the job involves the electrical service, we explain the utility and approval coordination that needs to be considered.
How we do it
We review the panel and your electrical load together, then explain the work needed for your plans.

Questions about upgrading an electrical panel
These answers can help you prepare for a panel assessment and understand the options.
A panel replacement alone does not increase the capacity of your electrical service. We assess the service and electrical load to see whether additional work is needed to support your plans.
That depends on your existing service, available circuit space and the charging setup you choose. We review those details before recommending a panel or service upgrade.
We need to inspect the equipment and review the circuits you want to add. Available circuit space and total electrical capacity both matter, so we explain the suitable options after that review.
Panel work involves a planned power interruption. The arrangements depend on the scope and any utility coordination, and we discuss them before scheduling the job.
The equipment needed, existing wiring condition and access affect the price. A project that also changes the electrical service has a different scope from a panel replacement, so an assessment helps clarify the quote.
A tripping breaker needs its cause checked. The problem may be on a circuit or connected to equipment, so replacing the panel may not address it. Tell us what happens and which circuits are involved.
Yes. Include equipment you expect to add later when discussing the project. That gives us a better picture of your plans while we assess the work needed now.
Yes. Townside Electric serves Delta, Surrey, Richmond and the Lower Mainland. Send your address and a photo of the closed panel if you can safely take one.
