Panel Enhancements and Load Calculations
When electrical demands exceed your aging panel's limits, a properly engineered upgrade along with exact load calculations prevents nuisance tripping, overheating, and code violations. You need a licensed electrician to assess 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. Precise breaker balancing across phases decreases neutral loading and voltage drop, enhancing 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 specs, and test grounding and bonding, delivering a safe, compliant upgrade.
EV Charging Station Installation and Circuit Planning
You begin by verifying your EV charger's load requirements and how they influence your home's demand profile. Then, you check panel capacity and breaker space to guarantee a dedicated circuit meets Code without overloading the system. In the final step, you secure required permits and verify available Toronto and Ontario rebates before installation to remain compliant while lowering expenses.
Load Analysis Fundamentals
Why start an EV charger project without first establishing if your service can handle it? Begin 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. Employ demand diversity to reflect realistic, non-simultaneous usage, then calculate peak and typical loads in amps at 240V and 120V. Assess 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 rating per code. Identify when charging will happen and how it overlaps with heating, cooking, and laundry. Consider future additions. Document results, assumptions, and safety margins. If your results come close to limits, modify schedules or downsize charger capacity before moving forward.
Panel Load Capacity Checks
While your load assessment identifies demand, verify 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. Verify available breaker spaces and proper breaker spacing to prevent overheating and nuisance trips. Measure actual load with a clamp meter under typical household conditions, then compare to calculated demand to verify headroom.
Check conductor gauges, terminations, and torque values. Search for heat discoloration, corrosion, or brittle insulation-evidence the panel's service life is approaching its end. Confirm grounding and bonding are intact, and AFCI/GFCI requirements won't overload capacity. If space or capacity constraints exist, consider a subpanel or a service upgrade. Document findings before determining an EV charger circuit size and placement.
Permits and Available Rebates
Before purchasing an EV charger or running wire, verify local permitting requirements and rebate eligibility to avoid rework and delays. Toronto and most GTA municipalities mandate an electrical permit for new circuits, load management devices, and service upgrades. Ask your electrician to submit drawings, specify breaker size, wire gauge, GFCI specifications, and mounting location to streamline approval.
Check permit timelines ahead of time; some jurisdictions approve simple residential EV circuits in days, while service upgrades can take weeks. Schedule inspections prior to closing walls or pouring concrete. Keep receipts, model numbers, photos, and inspection reports to establish rebate eligibility.
Verify utility, municipal, federal, and provincial incentives. Numerous programs require licensed installation, ESA inspection, and approved equipment lists. Coordinate your purchase to match funding windows and priority-based programs.

Cluster fixtures by function, not just room, to limit overlighting. Record wiring paths, panel schedules, and control scenes so upcoming service remains safe and straightforward.
LED Conversion Planning
Before replacing light fixtures, determine the retrofit's aims: reduce energy, improve light quality, minimize maintenance, and meet code. Initiate with a site audit: document fixture types, voltage, wiring condition, and ceiling heights. Check fixture compatibility for each space, including thermal limits, socket type, ballast or driver requirements, and emergency egress needs. Complete lumen budgeting by area: calculate target illuminance, account for room reflectance, spacing, and uniformity, then select LED packages that fulfill needs without glare.
Confirm color quality and consistency: select appropriate CCT per area and specify CRI/R9 where color is critical. Verify electrical loading, inrush current, and circuit capacity. Prepare safe installation sequencing, lockout/tagout, and waste handling for legacy lamps. Develop photometric layouts and cut-sheets. Document warranties and maintenance intervals to protect long-term performance.
Power-Saving Control Systems
Although high-efficiency LEDs lower power consumption, controls offer the larger savings by confirming light is on only when and where it's needed.
