How To Upgrade Your Electrical Service From 60 to 100 Amps

An electrical service is the system that provides power to your electrical panel via an overhead or underground wire. The consumer service is the part of the service that the homeowner owns, usually the pipe and electrical meter located on the back of your house.      

The electrical service keeps up optional voltage power dissemination frameworks, performing such utility capacities as the establishment of new electrical circuits; upkeep and fix of building switchboards; fix of indoor and outside lighting frameworks; general investigating and fix of electrical dispersion frameworks.

Electrical Service Upgrade from 60 Amps to 100 Amps

An electric service upgrade normally involves the complete replacement of electrical service around the house. This includes the line side service entrance cable, meter base, weather head, load side service entrance cable, the grounding and bonding system, and, of course, the electric panel itself. Sometimes, we are able to update the electrical meter and the new electric panel in their original locations, if the layout of the house has not changed much over the years. This situation is generally easier and costs less.

Older houses in Calgary were only supplied with a 60 amp service, this is no longer adequate power for most modern homes. A service upgrade from 60 Amps to 100 Amps is a must for most insurance companies. Sometimes 100 amps may still not be enough power if you are planning on installing large electrical loads such as hot tubs, air conditioning units or a workshop in your garage. Upgrading to 200 amps will ensure you and your family have sufficient power for all your future needs.
