Panel & Service Upgrades in Aurora
Panel Upgrades Built for Aurora's Older Homes and Growing Loads
Aurora's housing runs the full range, from heritage and century homes around Aurora Village and Wellington Street to sprawling estate properties and newer builds in Bayview Wellington and Stonehaven. Many of the older places still carry 60- or 100-amp services or original fuse boxes, and plenty of 1970s and 80s homes hide a Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok panel. As families add heat pumps, hot tubs and EV chargers, those undersized services simply run out of room.
A 200-amp upgrade gives your home the capacity it needs while removing a known fire risk, and every job we do is pulled under an ESA permit and inspected on completion. As an ECRA/ESA-licensed contractor (#7012319), we coordinate the disconnect with your utility, label the new panel clearly and leave the paperwork in order. Pricing is quoted by project after a free on-site estimate, so you know the full scope before we start.

Aurora FAQs
Panel Upgrades in Aurora — Common Questions
Do I need a panel upgrade before installing an EV charger in my Aurora home?
Often, yes. Many older Aurora homes with 100-amp service lack the spare capacity for a 240V charger, so we assess your load first and upgrade to 200A only if the numbers call for it.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade?
Yes — panel and service upgrades require an ESA permit and inspection in Ontario. As a licensed contractor we pull the permit and coordinate the inspection for you.
Should I get 100 or 200 amp service?
Most homes today choose a 200-amp service, especially when adding an EV charger, hot tub, AC or an addition. We recommend the right size for your home during the estimate.
Is a Federal Pioneer / Stab-Lok panel dangerous?
These older panels are known for breakers that don't always trip properly, which is a fire risk, and many insurers flag them. We can assess yours and recommend a safe replacement.
How much does a panel upgrade cost?
It depends on the panel size, whether the meter base/mast needs replacing, and your home's wiring. We give a clear, by-project price up front with a free estimate — no hourly surprises.
