Plenty of older homes and farmhouses in this area still run on a 100-amp service, or on a panel that's full, double-tapped or older than anyone living there. That worked before the hot tub, the electric range, the heated garage and the shop welder. When there's no room left in the panel, or breakers trip whenever two big loads run at once, it's time to look at an upgrade.
The common job is going from 100 amps to 200 amps, which usually means a new panel, often a new meter base and service entrance, and new service conductors. We start with a load calculation, so the new service is sized for what you run now and what you plan to add. Sometimes a sub-panel in the garage or shop solves the problem; sometimes the whole service has to go.
Permits go through TSASK, and the power has to be off while the new service goes in, so we plan the day with you and with SaskPower. You'll know before we start how long you'll be without power. In winter we plan around furnaces, well pumps and livestock, so nobody is left in the cold.
