Signs Your Panel
Needs an Upgrade
If your Scarborough home is showing any of these warning signs, your electrical panel may be undersized, outdated or unsafe. Do not ignore them — call a licensed electrician.
Upgrading Your Panel to 200A
Is a Smart Long-Term Investment
Most Scarborough homes were built with a 100A service that struggles to keep up with modern electrical demands. Here is why upgrading to 200A pays off.
More Capacity for Modern Loads
Central air conditioning, heat pumps, induction ranges, tankless water heaters, hot tubs and home offices all draw significant electrical loads. A 100A panel in a Scarborough home built decades ago simply cannot handle all of them at once — you will trip breakers, dim lights and risk damaging appliances. A 200A upgrade doubles your available capacity and future-proofs your home for whatever you add next.
EV Charger Ready
A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240V/40A or 240V/50A circuit — and adding one to a 100A panel that is already loaded with an AC unit, electric dryer and modern appliances is not safe or code-compliant. A 200A panel upgrade gives you the headroom to install an EV charger now or later without another major electrical project.
Insurance & Home Value
Home insurance companies in Scarborough increasingly flag outdated 100A panels — some refuse coverage, others charge higher premiums. When selling your home, buyers and home inspectors treat a modern 200A panel as a positive, while a 60A or 100A panel becomes a negotiation point. A permitted 200A upgrade with a valid ESA certificate removes both problems.
Safety & Code Compliance
Older panels — especially Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok, Zinsco and fuse-based panels — have a documented history of failing to trip on overload, which is a serious fire hazard. FlashPro Electric replaces outdated panels with modern breakers that meet Ontario Electrical Safety Code, includes AFCI and GFCI protection where required, and completes every upgrade with an ESA permit and inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about electrical panel upgrades and service upgrades in Scarborough and the GTA.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade in my Scarborough home?
Signs that you need a panel upgrade in your Scarborough home include breakers that trip frequently, lights that dim when appliances turn on, a panel that feels warm to the touch, a 100A panel in a home with modern appliances, an inability to add new circuits, or a panel that is failing an ESA or home inspection. FlashPro Electric performs a full electrical service upgrade assessment to determine exactly what your home needs before any work begins.
Do I need a permit for an electrical panel upgrade in Scarborough?
Yes — an electrical panel upgrade in Scarborough requires an ESA permit and a formal ESA inspection to confirm the work meets Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Any electrician who performs a panel upgrade without a permit puts you at serious risk — your home insurance could be voided in the event of an electrical fire. FlashPro Electric pulls the ESA permit, completes the upgrade and arranges the inspection as part of every panel upgrade job.
How long does a 100A to 200A panel upgrade take in Scarborough?
A 100A to 200A panel upgrade in Scarborough typically takes one full day. Power to your home will be off for a portion of the day while the new panel is installed and connected. FlashPro Electric works efficiently to minimize downtime — in most cases power is restored the same day. The ESA inspection is scheduled as soon as possible after installation so you have the certificate without delay.
Will a 200A panel upgrade increase my home's value in Scarborough?
Yes — a 200A panel upgrade is one of the most practical improvements a Scarborough homeowner can make before listing a property. Buyers and home inspectors flag outdated 100A panels as a concern, and many lenders or insurers require an upgrade before financing or insuring a home. A permitted 200A panel upgrade completed by FlashPro Electric adds confidence for buyers and removes a common negotiation point during the sale process.
Can I add an EV charger circuit after my panel upgrade in Scarborough?
Yes — and this is one of the most common reasons Scarborough homeowners upgrade to 200A in the first place. A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240V/50A circuit that a 100A panel often cannot support alongside existing loads. Once the 200A panel upgrade is complete, FlashPro Electric can install a dedicated EV charger circuit at the same time or as a follow-up job — saving you a second service call.
