RatingI needed to make some modifications to my main panel, including adding a sub panel for emergencies. The quality of work was truly exceptional, couldn’t have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Ampt Over Electric for all your electrical needs, both big and small.
I hired this company to do several small jobs in my Condo and couldn't be happier with the results. Clear and precise communications for the quote. Ryan was abousletley delightful. Had everything fixed within 2 hours and the price is fair. I will be recommending this company to others and if I need something again will definitely call. Fast friendly and efficient service. Thank you so much to the whole team for making this such a positive experience. Shout out to Ryan because he definitely knows what he is doing!!!!!!
I totally recommend Ampt Over Electic. They were fast and efficient in setting up an estimate, doing the work and making sure I was satisfied.
We hired Ampt Over Electric to replace some old, dead light fixtures in our kitchen. Jeff arrived on time and was very quick, efficient and professional! I would recommend them to anyone looking to get some electrical work done. Thank you for making our kitchen bright again!!
Jorden at Ampt Over Electric got us a great quote (cheapest of all the quotes) to replace our outdated electrical panel. Jeff removed our old panel and installed the new one. He was patient enough to explain to me what he was doing while he worked. Clearly knowledgeable and customer focused. He even helped me clear out my utilities room so the work could be done. We are excited to have Jeff back to replace out outdoor lights with LED’s next!
Jeff did an incredible job installing our hot tub. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely detail-oriented. The wiring was done cleanly and safely, and everything was organized in a way that showed real care and craftsmanship. He clearly knows his stuff and takes pride in doing the job right. It’s not easy finding tradespeople who show up on time, communicate clearly, and leave the site spotless — but Jeff checked every box. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing electrical work or hot tub installation. Solid work all around. Thanks again, Jeff!
Had Jeff from Ampt Over in to do a few jobs that were more than I could do myself. He was very professional, knowledgeable and an extreme pleasure to work with. Will definitely have him back for any BLUE jobs that beyond my abilities. Thank you again for arriving so quickly and finishing the things I would still be here doing.
Had Jeff from Amptover come today to change bathroom light fixtures. Turned out it needed three different junction boxes, which was not what he was expecting, but no problem. Superduper job done in no time flat. Fair price for excellent work! Many thanks to.Amptover And to Jeff and Jorden. Definitely gonna call them From now on for all my Electrician needs.!!
Extremely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend. Jorden is very kind and professional.
Thank you for the amazing and quick service to move my ceiling fan
Your electrical panel controls how electricity flows through your home. Watch for these warning signs. Catching problems early reduces risk and prevents costly repairs.
Constantly resetting circuit breakers? Your electrical system can’t keep up with demand. This is common in homes with 60 or 100 amp panels trying to power modern appliances. A 200 amp upgrade gives you the capacity you need.
When lights dim as your furnace or air conditioning kicks on, your panel is struggling. This means your electrical system can’t deliver reliable power. An upgrade resolves the issue and protects your wiring from damage.
Calgary homes still running on screw-in fuses need an upgrade. Most insurance companies require modern circuit breaker panels for coverage. A conversion also gives you better safety and lowers the risk of fires from outdated components.
A warm enclosure, burning odour, or buzzing sound signals dangerous overloading. Book a professional inspection right away—don’t wait for the problem to get worse.
Planning to add a hot tub (40–60 amps), EV charger (40–50 amps), air conditioning, or solar system? Consult a licensed electrician to evaluate your load capacity first. Most of these projects require a 200 amp panel upgrade.
Breaker panels have a lifespan of 25–30 years. Even if everything seems fine, book an inspection once your panel passes the 25-year mark. Aging components can fail without warning. A proactive electrical capacity upgrade protects your property and keeps your home safe.
If your Calgary home has a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) or Stab-Lok breaker, replacing it is urgent. These units were installed in thousands of Canadian homes between the 1950s and 1990s. They have documented failure rates that create a serious risk of fires.
Industry testing shows these circuit breakers fail to trip during overloads up to 60% of the time. This lets wires overheat and potentially ignite. Under the Alberta Safety Codes Act, all electrical panel upgrades must meet current code standards.
How to Identify Dangerous Panels:
Our licensed electricians have replaced Federal Pacific and Stab-Lok panels across Calgary. We offer priority scheduling for these urgent projects, coordinate all utility requirements, and ensure your new breaker panel meets current Alberta electrical codes.

Many Calgary homes have aging 100 amp systems that need an electrical panel upgrade. Common reasons include age, overcrowded circuits, or unsafe brands. Our process includes removing the unit, installing a new breaker panel, and coordinating city of Calgary inspection. All work meets the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1). This option suits homes that don’t need additional capacity for major additions.
A 200 amp upgrade transforms your home’s electrical capacity. This goes beyond a simple swap. We coordinate with Enmax for the service upgrade, install larger entrance components, and ensure your system powers your entire home plus future additions. These service upgrades are necessary for most EV charger installations, hot tubs, HVAC systems, and solar systems.
Still running a fuse box? We handle complete conversions to modern circuit breaker panels that meet current safety standards. You’ll never deal with blown fuses again. A conversion also satisfies most insurance requirements and adds value to your property.
Need additional circuits without a full upgrade? We install sub-panels ranging from 60 amp units for garages to larger options for home additions. A sub-panel delivers extra capacity where you need it. It’s ideal for workshops, basement suites, or detached garages. Your amp panel must have enough spare load for the installation.
Many Calgary homes built in the 1960s and 1970s contain aluminium wiring that needs special attention during upgrading electrical panels. Our electricians ensure proper connections and reliable safety measures when working on homes with aluminium wiring.
Understanding the cost of your upgrade helps you budget with confidence. Every home is different, but here are typical ranges for Calgary projects:
Includes removing your unit, installing a new breaker panel, reconnecting all circuits, and coordinating city of Calgary inspection. Best for homes without major electrical additions planned.
A complete electrical capacity upgrade. This includes a new amp panel, upgraded metre base, Enmax coordination, and inspection. Necessary for homes adding EV chargers, hot tubs, air conditioning, or solar systems.
Replaces a fuse box with modern circuit breaker panels (minimum 100 amp). Often required for insurance compliance. Includes a new panel, all circuit transfers, and inspection.
Adds circuit capacity without a full replacement. A 60 amp sub-panel works well for garages, workshops, or additions.
What’s Included: Our pricing covers permits, inspection coordination, all labour, warranty on installed parts, and standard installation. Call +1 368‑993‑7463 for a detailed written quote — no surprises guaranteed.
We know you want your electrical panel upgrade done quickly with minimal disruption. Here’s how it works from start to finish:
Day 1: Free Assessment — Our electrician checks your current setup, talks through your needs, and gives you a detailed written quote. No obligation, no pressure.
Days 2–5: Permits & Scheduling — We pull all required electrical permits from the city of Calgary and book your date. For 200 amp projects, we start Enmax coordination during this phase.
Installation Day: 4–8 Hours — Our team arrives on time and completes the work. Most electrical panel upgrades wrap up in one day. Your power outage typically lasts 4–6 hours while we swap components.
Final Inspection: 1–3 Days After — A certified safety codes officer verifies code compliance. We schedule and coordinate everything. You just need someone home for access.
Total Timeline: Simple replacements often finish within one week. Full 200 amp service upgrades take 1–2 weeks from first contact to final inspection.
From our South Calgary locations, we reach most service calls within 30-45 minutes. Same-week scheduling available for all communities.
An electrical panel upgrade in Calgary typically costs $2,500 to $6,000. A 100 amp replacement runs $2,500–$3,500. A full 200 amp upgrade costs $4,000–$6,000. Fuse box conversions fall between $3,000–$4,500. Consult our team for an exact quote for your home.
Most replacements take a single day — typically 4–8 hours of work. Full 200 amp upgrades requiring utility coordination take 1–2 weeks from initial contact to final inspection. Your power outage usually lasts 4–6 hours.
You likely need a 200 amp upgrade if you’re adding high-demand items like EV chargers (40–50 amps), hot tubs (40–60 amps), air conditioning, furnace upgrades, or solar arrays. Homes that frequently trip circuit breakers when running multiple appliances should also consider upgrading. An informed decision starts with a free load assessment from our team.
Yes. Federal Pacific and Stab-Lok units have documented failure rates up to 60% higher than other brands. They may not trip during overloads, creating serious fire risks. Insurance companies increasingly require replacement. We recommend booking an immediate assessment regardless of current performance.
A sub-panel can add circuit capacity if your amp panel has spare amperage and breaker spaces. A 60 amp sub-panel works well for garages or additions. However, if your system is at capacity, a full 200 amp upgrade is the better long-term investment for your property.
Yes. All electrical panel upgrades in Calgary require electrical permits and inspection by a certified safety codes officer under the Alberta Safety Codes Act. We pull all required permits and coordinate inspections as part of our service. You don’t need to handle any paperwork.
Your electrical system should be inspected every 5 years. Act right away if you notice warning signs like tripping circuit breakers, flickering lights, burning smells, or warm surfaces. Panels over 25 years are necessary to evaluate for replacement regardless of condition.
Our pricing includes the new panel, all labour, permits, Enmax coordination for full upgrades, inspection scheduling, warranty on parts, and circuit labelling. Additional costs only apply for extensive rewiring or unusual requirements — which we identify during your free estimate.
