Electrical Service Upgrade

Power Your Home for Today — and the Future

 Many homes in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland were built with 60A or 100A electrical service. That was enough decades ago — but today’s homes demand much more power.

If you’re adding an EV charger, heat pump, air conditioning, hot tub, or doing a renovation, you may need a 200A electrical service upgrade to safely handle the load.

Westforge Electric provides professional, code-compliant service upgrades designed to future-proof your home.

Signs You May Need a Service Upgrade

  • Breakers trip frequently
  • Lights dim when appliances start
  • You’re installing an EV charger
  • Planning a home renovation
  • Adding a heat pump or air conditioning
  • Your home still has a 60A or 100A service

If your panel is overloaded, upgrading your service ensures safety and reliability.

What Is a 200A Service Upgrade?

 

A service upgrade increases the total electrical capacity coming into your home.

This typically includes:

  • New 200A electrical panel
  • Upgraded service mast or conduit
  • New meter base (if required)
  • Utility coordination
  • Permit and inspection through Technical Safety BC
  • Full load calculation

Upgrading to 200A allows your home to support modern electrical demand without overloading circuits.

Upgrade Your Electrical Service with Confidence

 If your home is running out of electrical capacity, don’t wait for overloaded circuits or safety issues.

Upgrade your electrical service today with WestForge Electric.
