Electrical Panel Upgrade in Montréal for Homes and Plexes
Many Montréal homes still run on a 60 or 100 amp service, or on an old fuse box that was never built for today’s needs. Adding an EV charger, a heat pump, a generator or a renovated kitchen can push an older electrical panel past its limit.
Apadana Électrique is a licensed electrician that upgrades electrical panels and services for houses, duplexes, triplexes and small commercial buildings in Montréal, the West Island and Laval. We assess your electrical load, recommend the right panel size and handle the work from start to finish, including coordination with Hydro-Québec.
Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time for a panel upgrade or a service upgrade:
- Breakers that trip often or fuses that keep blowing
- Lights that flicker or dim when appliances turn on
- An old fuse box or a 60 or 100 amp service
- No space left in the panel for new circuits
- A warm panel, a burning smell, rust or scorch marks
- You plan to add an EV charger, heat pump, hot tub or generator
- Your insurance company asked you to replace an old panel
A warm panel or a burning smell is a safety risk. Turn off the equipment and call a licensed electrician right away.

Heat pumps and baseboard heaters use a large part of your electrical capacity in winter.

A proper panel and transfer switch let your generator back up your home safely.

New appliances, pot lights and circuits for renovated kitchens and finished basements.

FAQ
Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Montréal?
The price depends on the new amperage, the location of the panel, whether the meter base and service entrance must be replaced, and Hydro-Québec requirements. Call us at 514-627-9098 for a free initial estimate.
How long does a 100A to 200A service upgrade take?
In many homes the work is done in one day. Some jobs take longer, for example when the service entrance must be moved or the building has several units. We give you a clear schedule before we start.
Do I need Hydro-Québec for a panel upgrade?
For a service upgrade, such as going from 100 to 200 amps or changing the meter base, Hydro-Québec must disconnect and reconnect the power. We send the requests and coordinate the date with them.
Do I need a 200 amp service for an EV charger?
Not always. We first do a load calculation. In some homes with a 100 amp service, an EV charger can be added safely with a load management system. If not, we recommend a service upgrade.
Should I replace my old fuse box?
Fuse boxes are outdated and have limited capacity, and many insurance companies ask homeowners to replace them. A modern breaker panel is safer and gives you room for new circuits.
Will my power be off during the upgrade?
Yes, for part of the day while the old service is disconnected and the new one is connected. We plan the date with you in advance so you can prepare.
Can you upgrade the service in a duplex or triplex?
Yes. We upgrade services, meter bases and panels for duplexes, triplexes and multi-unit buildings in Montréal.
Which areas do you serve for panel upgrades?
We serve Montréal and up to 60 km around, including Pointe-Claire, Dorval, Kirkland, Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Beaconsfield, Laval and Vaudreuil-Dorion.
