Your electrical panel powers everything in your home, but if it’s outdated, it might not keep up with your family’s needs. For many Calgary homeowners, especially in older neighborhoods, panels installed decades ago were never designed for today’s gadgets and appliances. A panel upgrade to a 200+ amp service boosts your home’s electrical capacity, ensuring it can handle modern demands without tripping breakers or posing risks. At GP Electric, we specialize in bringing Calgary homes up to speed with safe, dependable power.


Why consider a 200+ amp service? It’s all about safety and flexibility. Older panels can overheat under heavy loads, increasing the chance of electrical fires—a big concern during Calgary’s long, cold winters when heating systems run nonstop. With a bigger panel, you can add circuits for new projects, like a basement suite or a powerful air conditioner, without worry. It’s also a smart move for home value; buyers love knowing the electrical system is modern and ready for anything. GP Electric ensures your upgrade meets local codes and your unique needs.


How do you spot the need for a panel upgrade? If your lights dim when you plug in a big appliance, or your breakers trip more often than they should, your panel might be maxed out. Homes with old fuse boxes are especially overdue for a change—fuses can’t match the safety of today’s breakers. Planning to install a hot tub or renovate your kitchen? That extra power draw often requires more amps. We’ve seen it all in Calgary, and GP Electric can help you figure out if your system’s ready or needs a boost.



This isn’t a job for weekend warriors. Upgrading your panel involves complex wiring and strict safety standards, especially in Calgary where weather and regulations add extra layers. A licensed electrician from GP Electric brings the know-how to do it right, avoiding hazards like faulty connections or permit headaches. We’ve tackled countless upgrades here, so we understand the quirks of local homes and how to keep your power flowing smoothly, no matter the season.


Thinking it’s time to upgrade? A 200+ amp service is a one-time fix that delivers years of worry-free living. Contact GP Electric for a no-obligation chat about your home’s electrical setup. Our Calgary team will walk you through the process, check your current panel, and tailor a solution that fits. Don’t let an old system hold you back—reach out today and power up your home with confidence!
