Is Your Oakville Home's Electrical Panel Keeping Up?

Many Oakville homes built before 2000 have outdated 60-100 amp panels that can't handle today's power demands.

From Bronte to Glen Abbey, Old Oakville to River Oaks, Oakville homeowners are upgrading their panels to support EV chargers, central AC, home offices, and modern appliances. If you're experiencing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or planning renovations, it's time to upgrade. KoljiBros Electrical specializes in bringing Oakville homes up to modern electrical standards — safely, affordably, and with full ESA certification.

Why Oakville Homeowners Upgrade Their Panels

Oakville's prestigious lakefront estates and mature neighbourhoods often have electrical systems that need modernizing. Here's why homeowners across this affluent community are upgrading.

Power

More Power for Modern Living

Today's homes need more electricity. EV chargers, central AC, hot tubs, and home offices demand 200A+ service that older panels can't provide.

Safety

Eliminate Safety Hazards

Old fuse boxes, Federal Pacific, and Zinsco panels are fire risks. Modern breaker panels with arc-fault protection keep your family safe.

Reliable

Stop Breaker Trips

Tired of resetting breakers? An upgraded panel provides the capacity you need to run all your appliances without interruption.

Value

Increase Home Value

A modern 200A panel is a selling point. Buyers want homes with updated electrical systems that can handle their needs.

EV

Oakville Panel Upgrade FAQs

Common questions from Oakville homeowners about electrical panel upgrades.

How much does a panel upgrade cost in Oakville?
Panel upgrade costs in Oakville typically range from $1,500 to $4,000+ depending on the amperage (100A vs 200A vs 400A), the complexity of the installation, and whether Oakville Hydro coordination is required. Larger heritage homes in Old Oakville and along the lakeshore may need additional work. We provide detailed, upfront estimates before any work begins.
How do I know if my Oakville home needs a panel upgrade?
Many Oakville homes, especially properties in Old Oakville, Bronte, and neighbourhoods built in the 1960s-80s, have 60-100 amp panels that are inadequate for modern needs. Signs you need an upgrade include: breakers tripping frequently, flickering lights, burning smell from the panel, your home still uses fuses, you're adding an EV charger or central AC, or your panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco brand. We offer free assessments for Oakville homeowners.
How long does a panel upgrade take in Oakville?
Most residential panel upgrades in Oakville take 4-8 hours to complete. If Oakville Hydro needs to disconnect and reconnect the meter, we coordinate this in advance to minimize your downtime. We restore power as quickly as possible.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Oakville?
Yes, electrical panel upgrades in Oakville require an ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) permit and inspection. As licensed contractors (ECRA/ESA# 7015453), we handle all permits, Oakville Hydro coordination, and ensure your upgrade passes inspection.
Will Oakville Hydro need to disconnect my power?
For service upgrades (changing the amperage coming into your home), Oakville Hydro will need to temporarily disconnect the meter. We coordinate this for you and schedule it to minimize inconvenience. For panel-only replacements at the same amperage, hydro involvement may not be needed.
