Adding a suite, heat pump, EV charger or workshop? A full service upgrade increases the power coming into your home, not just the panel — done to code with permits and BC Hydro coordination.
A service upgrade increases the total amperage your home can draw from BC Hydro — covering the service mast, meter base, main disconnect and grounding, not just the breaker panel. It's the foundation for secondary suites, heat pumps, EV charging and modern electrical loads.
PowerX manages the complete upgrade: engineering the load, pulling permits, coordinating the BC Hydro disconnect and reconnect, and passing the Technical Safety BC inspection — so the whole project is handled by one accountable contractor.
We confirm what your new loads require and what BC Hydro will need on the supply side.
We handle the electrical permit and the utility coordination paperwork.
Mast, meter base, disconnect and panel are upgraded in a coordinated outage window.
Technical Safety BC inspects and signs off; you get all documentation.
