ELECTRICAL PANEL REPLACEMENT
Replacing outdated electrical panels is one of the most common services electricians are called for. If your home is more than 20 years old, chances are your electrical panel and meter are no longer keeping up with today’s demands. Modern appliances and electronics draw significantly more power, and older panels weren’t designed to handle the load — often leading to frequent breaker trips.
At Gridline Electric, we specialize in professional electrical panel upgrades for homeowners across the Greater Vancouver Area. Our licensed electricians are highly experienced, and in most cases, we can complete your panel replacement in just one day.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel?
If you’ve purchased an older home and notice frequent power outages or breaker trips, it’s a strong sign your panel may need upgrading.
Some common red flags include:
➛ Breakers tripping when you run more than one appliance at a time.
➛ Flickering lights or voltage drops when using electronics.
➛ Difficulty powering modern appliances like dishwashers, microwaves, or space heaters.
If this sounds familiar, our team at Gridline Electric can troubleshoot your system, confirm whether your panel is the issue, and provide you with an upfront quote for repair or replacement.
Signs it’s time for an electrical panel upgrade: Even if your current panel seems functional, there are a number of reasons it may still need replacing:
☑ Your home is more than 20 years old.
☑ You’re planning a renovation or home addition.
☑ You’re installing heavy-duty appliances such as washers, dryers, or electric vehicle chargers.
☑ Your panel is outdated or showing signs of wear.
On average, an electrical panel should last about 40 years. However, issues can arise earlier, and it’s better to catch them before they lead to costly or unsafe problems
At Gridline Electric, we run detailed electrical tests to ensure the panel is actually the source of the issue. This way, you avoid unnecessary expenses and only upgrade when it’s truly needed.
