Home Electrical Panel Upgrades

Power Your Home or Business with a Modern, Safer Electrical System

Your electrical panel is the heart of your property’s power system — distributing electricity to every light, outlet, and appliance. Over time, outdated panels can struggle to meet modern energy demands, creating safety risks and efficiency issues.

At EA Electric, we provide professional electric panel upgrade services in Simcoe County, helping homeowners and businesses stay safe, compliant, and ready for the future. Whether you’re renovating, adding new equipment, or upgrading for an EV charger installation, our licensed electricians deliver safe, efficient, and code-approved results across Barrie, Orillia, Innisfil, Midland, Collingwood, Wasaga Beach, and Alliston

Outdated Systems Can’t Handle Today’s Power Demands

How do I know which type of EV charger is right for my home?

Most homeowners in Simcoe County choose a Level 2 charger for faster charging and better efficiency. It requires a 240V connection and provides a full charge in just a few hours. EA Electric’s certified installers assess your home’s electrical panel and recommend the ideal charger for your vehicle and daily usage.

Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel before installing an EV charger?

In some cases, yes — especially if your panel is older or near capacity. Our team conducts a detailed load calculation before installation. If needed, we can upgrade your panel to safely support your new charger while meeting Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) standards.

Are your EV charger installations certified by the ESA?

Absolutely. EA Electric’s electricians are ESA-certified and follow all Ontario Electrical Safety Code requirements. Every EV charger installation in Simcoe County is inspected and approved to ensure full safety compliance and warranty protection.

Can you install commercial EV charging stations for businesses?

Yes. We specialize in commercial EV charging stations across Simcoe County, including offices, retail properties, condos, and public parking areas. Our team manages everything — from design and permits to installation and maintenance — ensuring reliable, scalable charging infrastructure.

How long does it take to install an EV charger?

Most residential EV charger installations take between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the charger type and electrical setup. Commercial projects may take longer due to additional infrastructure, networking, and load management requirements.
