Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Vancouver?

Costs vary depending on the panel size, property type, and complexity of the installation. On average, homeowners in Vancouver can expect a panel upgrade to range from $2,000 to $4,000. We provide clear, itemized estimates so you always know what to expect with no hidden costs.

Do I need to upgrade my panel for EV charger installation?

Most Level 2 EV chargers require 200A service or higher. If your home or business currently has a 100A panel, an upgrade may be necessary to safely support the charger without overloading your system. Our team will assess your needs and recommend the best solution.

What’s the difference between 100A and 200A service?

A 100A panel may be enough for smaller homes without high-demand appliances. However, larger homes, EV chargers, hot tubs, and modern HVAC systems typically require a 200A panel for safe, reliable performance. Businesses often need even higher capacity depending on operations.

Will Altitude Electric handle permits and inspections?

Yes. We take care of all permits, scheduling, and inspections required by the City of Vancouver and the BC Safety Authority. You’ll have peace of mind knowing everything is compliant and professionally managed.

How long does an electrical panel upgrade take?

Most residential upgrades can be completed in half a day to a full day. For commercial projects, timelines may vary depending on complexity. We schedule work to minimize disruption to your home or business.

Can my business stay open during a panel upgrade?

In many cases, yes. Our electricians will coordinate with you to schedule work during off-hours or in phases to reduce downtime. Clear communication and flexible scheduling ensure your operations run smoothly.
