200-Amp Service Upgrades
Your Sherwood Park Electrician & Edmonton Electrician for your 200-Amp Service Upgrade200-Amp Service Upgrades
Do I need an electrical service upgrade in my home? The majority of homes in Sherwood Park and the greater Edmonton area have a 100-amp electrical service. This means that the overhead or underground utility line coming to your home, the enclosure on the exterior of your home that the electrical meter plugs into, and the main electrical panel in your home are all rated to a maximum load of 100 amps. A 100-amp electrical service is typical for a home up to about 2500 sq ft with a 240-volt electric range and a 240-volt electric dryer. If you are planning a renovation such as a basement suite development or installing new major appliances such as air conditioning, hot tub, or electric car charger, you may need to upgrade the capacity of your main electrical service to 150 amps or 200 amps. One of the primary reasons for a 200-amp service upgrade is because your existing 100-amp service simply does not have the capacity to deal with the electrical demand of your renovation or additional modern appliances. Consider this:- Installing an air conditioner will increase your electrical load by 15 – 30 amps
- Installing a hot tub will increase your electrical load by 30 – 50 amps
- Installing a charger for an electric car will increase your electrical load up to 40 amps or more
What does a 200-amp service upgrade entail?
Your residential 200-amp electrical service upgrade involves:
- Installing larger overhead or underground electrical utility cables from the utility transformer. **Underground service upgrades usually require trenching or directional drilling**
- Installing a larger electrical meter enclosure (meter socket)
- Installing a larger main electrical panel
- Installing a larger cable and conduit from the meter socket to the electrical panel
- FORTIS for Sherwood Park & Strathcona County
- EPCOR for the city of Edmonton
