Increase your home's electrical capacity for modern demands
More Power When You Need It
Electrical service upgrades increase the total capacity feeding your home. Whether you're moving from 60A to 100A or 100A to 200A, we handle the panel, meter base, and coordination with your utility. All work is permitted and inspected.
What We Do
Fusion Point Electric performs complete electrical service upgrades across Coquitlam, Vancouver, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland. We assess your current setup, obtain permits, install the new panel and meter base, and work with BC Hydro or your utility for the meter change. You get a safe, code-compliant installation with no surprises.
Common Upgrade Scenarios
- 60A or 100A service no longer sufficient
- Planning EV charger, heat pump, or major renovation
- Frequent breaker tripping or panel full
- Insurance or lender requires updated service
- Fuse panel replacement (upgrade to breakers)
Utility Coordination
Service upgrades often require the utility to disconnect and reconnect power for the meter swap. We coordinate with BC Hydro or your provider and schedule the work to minimize disruption. You'll know the timeline upfront.
What is included in an electrical service upgrade?
Typically: new panel, meter base, and sometimes the service entrance cable. We coordinate with BC Hydro or your utility for meter changes. Permits and inspections are included.
How do I know if I need a service upgrade?
If you're adding EV chargers, heat pumps, or major appliances and your panel is full or rated under 100A, an upgrade is often needed. We assess during the quote.
Will I lose power during the upgrade?
Yes, for part of the work. We schedule with you and minimize downtime. The utility may need to disconnect temporarily for the meter swap.
