WHAT IS A HYDRO SERVICE UPGRADE?
A hydro service upgrade involves replacing and modernizing your home’s electrical service to meet current Ontario Hydro and ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) standards. This typically includes:
-
Installing a new hydro meter and service mast
-
Upgrading to a 100-amp, 200-amp, or larger panel
-
New wiring between the panel and hydro line
-
Ensuring full ESA inspection and approval
Whether your current system is outdated, unsafe, or simply underpowered, upgrading ensures your home can safely handle today’s energy needs.
