Calgary’s Electrical Panel & Service Experts
Thinking About Upgrading Your Electrical Panel?
If your electrical panel is more than 25 years old, upgrading is one of the smartest home improvements you can make. Older panels weren’t designed to handle the electrical demands of modern homes — everything from high-efficiency appliances to EV chargers and home offices needs more reliable power than ever before.
Aging panels can become less reliable over time, increasing the risk of tripped breakers, flickering lights, or even overheating components. They often have outdated safety features, which means they might not fully protect your home’s wiring or electronics.
Upgrading from a 100-amp panel to a 200-amp service gives your home more breathing room for power, allowing you to run multiple appliances, tools, and devices at once without worrying about overloads. It also makes it easier to add new circuits for things like air conditioning, hot tubs, or future renovations — boosting both safety and peace of mind.
An electrical panel upgrade is an investment in your home’s comfort, safety, and future value — and with Emerald Electric Ltd, it’s done right the first time.

The Process Of Upgrading Your Electrical Panel
Upgrading your electrical panel is a detailed safety project, but Emerald Electric Ltd makes the process straightforward for Calgary homeowners. Every panel upgrade is completed by licensed local electricians and overseen by a Certified Master Electrician, so your new system is clean, code-compliant, and ready for years of use.
In-Home Visit, Quote & Panel Check
Book a convenient in-home visit, and a Certified Master Electrician will inspect your existing panel, review your home’s electrical load, and talk through any issues you’ve been noticing. You’ll get clear explanations of what’s needed to keep your home safe and ready for future electrical demand, with no pressure or obligation.
Transparent Pricing & Permits
Next, you receive an easy-to-understand, itemized quote with upfront pricing for your electrical panel upgrade. Emerald Electric handles all permits and paperwork with the City of Calgary or your local utility, so inspections and approvals are taken care of for you.
Professional Installation & Quality Workmanship
On installation day, our team schedules a brief power shut-off and safely removes your old panel and related equipment. Your new panel, service conductors, grounding, and bonding are installed to current Canadian Electrical Code standards, and the work area is left neat and tidy when we’re done.
Testing, Walkthrough & Warranty
Once the upgrade is complete, your new system is fully tested to confirm safe operation and proper labeling of circuits. Before leaving, your electrician walks you through the new panel, answers any questions, and explains your 2-year parts and labour warranty so you know exactly how your investment is protected.
100, 150, or 200 Amps – What’s Best for Your Home?
Choosing the right electrical service size depends on your property’s size, power demands, and future plans. At Emerald Electric Ltd, we help homeowners and business owners across Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, and Okotoks find the perfect balance of safety, efficiency, and value.
100 Amp Service
A practical option for smaller homes with basic electrical needs. If you’re replacing an older or unsafe panel and don’t plan to add major appliances or renovations, a 100 amp upgrade can provide safe, reliable power without the cost of a larger service.
150 Amp Service
A solid choice for mid-sized homes or families who plan to add a bit more load over time. A 150 amp panel offers flexibility for things like air conditioning, basement development, or a few new circuits without committing to a full 200 amp upgrade.
200 Amp Service
The best fit for homes with higher power demands. A 200 amp service provides the capacity needed for EV chargers, hot tubs, workshops, home additions, and future renovations. It gives you room to grow while keeping your electrical system safe and dependable.
Not Sure Which Upgrade You Need?
A Certified Master Electrician will assess your home’s current electrical use, discuss any future plans, and help you choose the service size that makes the most sense. You’ll receive a clear, upfront quote for the upgrade — no hidden fees and no pressure to move forward.
