Panel Enhancements and Load Calculations
When your electrical requirements exceed an outdated panel's capacity, a properly engineered upgrade paired with precise load calculations stops nuisance tripping, overheating, and code violations. You need a licensed electrician to evaluate service capacity, connected loads, and future expansion. We calculate demand factors, verify feeder ratings, and size a new main panel that meets Ontario Electrical Code requirements. Careful breaker balancing across phases minimizes neutral loading and voltage drop, improving stability under peak conditions.
We further examine short-circuit currents, fault ratings, and selective coordination to ensure protective devices clear faults safely.

We label circuits, tighten terminations to torque standards, and test grounding and bonding, providing a safe, compliant upgrade.
Electric Vehicle Charger Setup and Circuit Planning
You begin by verifying your EV charger's load requirements and how they influence your home's demand profile. After that, you check panel capacity and breaker space to ensure a dedicated circuit meets Code without overloading the system. To conclude, you obtain required permits and confirm available Toronto and Ontario rebates before installation to ensure compliance and minimize expenses.
Basics of Load Assessment
Why begin an EV charger project without first establishing if your service can handle it? Commence with a clear load assessment. Record all major appliances, HVAC, water heating, lighting, and typical plug loads. Record nameplate ratings, breaker sizes, and expected run times. Implement demand diversity to reflect realistic, non-simultaneous usage, then calculate peak and typical loads in amps at 240V and 120V. Analyze circuit balancing across phases to maintain currents even, reduce neutral stress, and minimize voltage drop.
Assess the EV charger's continuous load at 125% of its specification per code. Assess when charging will happen and how it overlaps with cooking, laundry, and heating. Plan for future additions. Document results, assumptions, and safety margins. If your results approach limits, revise schedules or reduce charger capacity before moving forward.
Panel Capacity Checks
Even though your load assessment establishes demand, ensure the panel can safely deliver it. First confirm the main breaker rating and the panel's busbar ampacity; your EV circuit cannot go beyond these limits. Inspect available breaker spaces and proper breaker spacing to avoid overheating and nuisance trips. Test actual load with a clamp meter under typical household conditions, then compare to calculated demand to verify headroom.
Check conductor sizes, terminations, and torque values. Check for heat discoloration, corrosion, or brittle insulation-indicators the panel's service life is reaching its limit. Ensure that grounding and bonding remain intact, and AFCI/GFCI needs don't surpass available capacity. If capacity or space is limited, consider a subpanel or a service upgrade. Record observations before deciding on an EV charger circuit size and placement.
Permits and Available Rebates
Before purchasing an EV charger or running wire, confirm local permitting requirements and rebate eligibility to prevent rework and delays. Toronto and most GTA municipalities need an electrical permit for new circuits, load management devices, and service upgrades. Request your electrician to submit drawings, specify breaker size, wire gauge, GFCI requirements, and mounting location to streamline approval.
Confirm permit timelines beforehand; some jurisdictions complete simple residential EV circuits in a few days, while service upgrades might need weeks. Schedule inspections before closing walls or pouring concrete. Keep receipts, model numbers, photos, and inspection reports to verify rebate eligibility.
Verify provincial, federal, municipal, and utility incentives. Many programs require licensed installation, ESA inspection, and approved equipment lists. Schedule your purchase to correspond to funding windows and first-come, first-served programs.
