Electrical Panel Upgrades in Surrey

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. If it is undersized, outdated, or showing signs of wear, it can limit what you are able to run and, more importantly, create a real safety risk. PowerX Electrical specializes in panel upgrades and replacements throughout Surrey and the Lower Mainland, bringing older homes up to modern 200-amp service safely and to code.

Whether you are dealing with an old fuse box, a crowded 100-amp panel, or you simply need more capacity for an EV charger, heat pump, or renovation, our licensed electricians handle the whole job — permits, utility coordination, installation, and inspection — start to finish.

Signs You Need a Panel Upgrade

If you recognize any of these warning signs, your panel may be due for an upgrade:

You still have a fuse box or a 60A/100A service
Breakers trip often or feel warm to the touch
Lights flicker or dim when appliances turn on
You rely on power bars and extension cords everywhere
Rust, scorching, or a burning smell at the panel
You are adding an EV charger, hot tub, or heat pump

100A vs 200A Service — What's the Difference?

Most modern Surrey homes need 200-amp service. Here's why.

100 Amp Service

Common in older homes. Adequate for basic needs but quickly maxed out by EV chargers, electric heat, hot tubs, and modern appliance loads.

200 Amp Service

The current standard for new and renovated homes. Comfortably powers EV charging, heat pumps, and future additions with headroom to spare.

Future-Proofing

Upgrading once to 200A avoids repeat work later. It is the smart choice if you plan to electrify heating, transport, or add living space.

Permits, Inspection & Peace of Mind

Every panel upgrade PowerX performs is fully permitted and inspected by Technical Safety BC. We coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect, install your new panel and breakers to the current BC Electrical Code, label every circuit clearly, and walk you through the finished work.

Most upgrades are completed in a single day. We give you a clear, written quote up front and keep you informed at every step. Serving Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, Langley and beyond — call 778-823-1575 for a free panel assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 200A panel upgrade cost in Surrey?
Most residential 200-amp service upgrades fall within a typical range that depends on your existing service, panel location, and whether the utility mast or meter base also needs work. We provide a free written quote after assessing your home so you know the exact cost before committing.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Common signs include a 60A or 100A service, a fuse box instead of breakers, frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, scorching or rust on the panel, or planning to add an EV charger, hot tub, or major appliances. If any of these apply, it is worth an assessment.
Do you handle the permit and inspection?
Yes. Every panel upgrade we perform includes the required electrical permit and a Technical Safety BC inspection. We coordinate the entire process and the utility disconnect and reconnect so you do not have to.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
A standard residential panel upgrade is usually completed in a single day. Power is off for part of the day while we transfer circuits to the new panel; we plan the work to minimize disruption and restore power as quickly as possible.
Will an upgrade increase my home's value and safety?
A modern 200A panel improves safety by replacing aged or undersized equipment, removes a common insurance and resale concern, and gives you the capacity for EV chargers, heat pumps, and future additions. It is one of the highest-value electrical investments a homeowner can make.
