Load Calculations

Every panel upgrade starts with the property’s real electrical demand.

Every panel upgrade starts with the property’s real electrical demand.

A load calculation reviews the connected electrical loads in your home or building and compares them against the service capacity. This helps determine whether a 100, 200 or 400 amp upgrade is appropriate, whether BC Hydro coordination is required, and how to plan the work safely before installation begins.

This helps determine whether a 100, 200 or 400 amp upgrade is appropriate, whether BC Hydro coordination is required, and how to plan the work safely before installation begins.

A professional load calculation helps answer:

• Is the current panel overloaded? • Is 200 amp service enough? • Is a 400 amp service upgrade needed for larger loads?

BC Hydro Coordination

BC Hydro coordination keeps service upgrades safe, scheduled and code-compliant.

BC Hydro coordination keeps service upgrades safe, scheduled and code-compliant.

Many service upgrades require coordination with BC Hydro. Depending on the property, BC Hydro may need to disconnect electrical power before work begins and reconnect it once the installation has passed inspection. Wirepro Electric manages this process, coordinates scheduling and communicates with BC Hydro to help minimize downtime and keep the upgrade moving smoothly.
