Panel upgrades, panel repair, and overhead & underground service upgrades
Out of breakers, still on fuses, or adding an EV charger, hot tub or shop? We replace and upgrade panels and services for homes, farms and businesses around Saskatoon.
Fully covered on every job, big or small.

Your electrical panel decides how much power your home, shop or business can safely use. When it’s full, outdated or failing, everything you add gets harder.
Most of our panel jobs are 100 A to 200 A upgrades. A typical upgrade takes about 8 to 9 hours. We pull the permit, arrange the disconnect and reconnect with the power company, swap the panel, and leave the work neat, labelled and to code.
Panel and service work usually comes as one job. A bigger panel often needs a bigger service to feed it, whether that’s an overhead mast and meter base or an underground service. We handle both, along with panel repairs when a replacement isn’t needed.
Warm panel, burning smell or sparking? Stay clear of the panel. If there’s smoke or fire, call 911.
An old panel is one of the most common things a home inspection or insurer will flag. If you’re not sure what you’ve got, start with an electrical inspection and we’ll tell you exactly what needs doing.

Reviews
A few words from people we’ve done this kind of work for.
“I asked CL Electric to move and upgrade my home’s electrical panel to 200A and to also bring the basement plugs up to code. Gaetan LePage did excellent work in a reasonably timely fashion. I endorse his workmanship and work ethic.”
FAQ
A typical 100 A to 200 A upgrade takes about 8 to 9 hours of work. Your power is off while we swap the panel, so we’ll tell you ahead of time when the disconnect is scheduled.
Yes. We pull the electrical permit and arrange the disconnect and reconnect with the power company. You don’t have to call anyone.
Common signs are a panel with no room for new breakers, breakers that trip often, an old fuse box, or plans to add a big load like an EV charger, hot tub, heat pump or a detached shop. We can look at what you have and what you want to add, and tell you honestly whether an upgrade is needed.
Often, yes. Loose or burnt connections, a failed breaker or a damaged bus can sometimes be repaired. If the panel is old, recalled or out of space, replacing it is usually the better long-term choice. We’ll explain the options and the cost of each.
