What is the cost to upgrade your electrical panel from fuses to breakers?

Fuse panels are not just old and inconvenient. It is not that only impossible to add a new circuit to your fuse box, but also many fuses in old panels are oversized. Many of them have 20 amp fuses where circuit wires are only capable to carry 15 amp current.

Usually, fuse panel upgrades cost is anywhere between $1000 and 1500$ dollars for 100 amp. The price includes all necessary permits, labor, and materials. What can increase the price:

-Toronto habitats will have to add disconnection cost, it is about 300$ for meter pull out and 678$ for disconnecting power at the overhead line or transformer. We had paid 4000$ once, so it is always better to check with your local utility

-Changing grounding conductor, Ontario Electrical Safety Code requires minimum #6AWG grounding conductor between the panel and incoming copper water pipes. If your panel doesn’t have one expect to pay 100-200$ extra

-Panel relocation. If you want to relocate your main electrical panel most likely electrician has to make 1-2 junction boxes in your existing panel location and run jumpers to the new panel. Also if the panel is located more than 1.5 meters from the point where main wires entering the building disconnector mean has to be installed. All this may cost up to 1000$-1500$ extra.

Application

The process of upgrading electrical service from 100 amp to 200 amp may seem to be complicated but it is pretty simple. It starts from sending a request to your local electrical utility company, most of the applications can be made online. Usually, the application will be reviewd in 3-4 weeks, and after you will be informed if you are allowed to have 200 amp service. In some cases, the customer will have to pay for upgrading the existing cable from transformer to meter base, the price range is very wide and can be from 2000 to 15000$, this is rarely the case of course.

Scheduling disconnecting

After the utility approves the application they will contact you to make the appointment for power disconnecting/reconnecting date and time. Usually, it will be 2-4 weeks ahead so you have enough time to adjast your schedule, remember that power will be gone for 4-8 hours and will be reconnected after ESA approves it.

ESA Permit

After you have the day and time of disconnecting/reconnecting you need to open permit and book an inspection with the Electrical Safety Authority. Only after ESA permission power will be reconnected back.

The Job

At the appointed time Hydro crew will arrive and disconnect power for safe service replacement. Electricians will have to make all necessary upgrades. Every case is different but most likely they will replace the panel. meter base, wires from meter to panel ( and mast for overhead services), grounding wire, and label the panel. ESA inspector will arrive and check everything before he gives a permit for reconnecting( pre-authorized contractors can pass inspection without actual inspector visit). When power is connected your electrician will check that all breakers labeled properly and all plugs/lights are working properly.

Certificate Of Inspection

After inspection, ESA will issue a certificate of inspection which you can provide for your insurance company.
