Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a panel upgrade cost in Toronto?

Panel upgrades in the GTA typically cost $2,000-$5,000 depending on amperage (100A to 200A is most common), existing wiring condition, and meter base requirements. A 100A to 200A upgrade runs $2,500-$4,000 including ESA permit and inspection. Homes with aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube, or Federal Pacific panels may need additional remediation adding $1,000-$3,000.

Do I need an ESA permit for electrical work in Toronto?

An ESA permit is required for most electrical work in Ontario beyond simple device replacements. Panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, EV charger installations, and generator hookups all require permits. Homeowners can replace switches, outlets, and light fixtures on existing circuits without a permit, but anything involving new wiring or service changes requires a licensed electrician and ESA inspection.

How much does it cost to rewire a house in the GTA?

Whole-home rewiring costs $10,000-$30,000 depending on home size, number of circuits, and wiring type being replaced. A typical 3-bedroom, 1,500 sq ft Toronto home runs $12,000-$20,000 for a complete rewire including a 200A panel upgrade. Knob-and-tube removal in pre-1950s homes costs more due to the labour-intensive process.

How much does an EV charger installation cost in Toronto?

Level 2 EV charger installation costs $1,500-$3,000 including the charger, dedicated 240V circuit, and ESA permit. Cost depends on distance from panel to charging location and panel capacity. Condo installations cost $2,500-$5,000+ due to longer wire runs and board approvals. If you have a 100A panel, budget an additional $2,000-$4,000 for a panel upgrade.
