Electrical panel replacement and upgrading service

The electrical panel is the nerve center of your home or business. If your installation is old (60A, 100A) or if you are adding energy-intensive equipment (heat pump, spa, EV charging station), a simple panel is no longer sufficient. MB Électrique specializes in upgrading and changing electrical service to 200A or 400A, ensuring that your property has the safe power it needs for today and tomorrow.

Entrusting your electrical panel replacement to a master electrician is a matter of paramount importance for your safety. We manage the entire process: load assessment, obtaining permits, work, and coordination with Hydro-Québec for connection. We respond quickly in the areas of Mascouche, Terrebonne, Laval, and throughout the North Shore for professional and compliant upgrades.

Safety, compliance, and capacity. Don't compromise the safety of your family or business assets. An updated system protects your equipment, eliminates the risk of electrical fires caused by overloads, and gives you peace of mind for future use.

When should you consider an electrical panel remplacement?

There are several signs that indicate an upgrade is necessary. These include the addition of an electric vehicle charging station, the installation of a spa or pool, the need for a new central heating system, or simply circuit breakers that trip frequently. If your building is over 25 years old, a professional inspection is highly recommended.

Our service is turnkey. After a detailed inspection of your current entry, we provide you with an accurate quote. The work includes replacing the pole, circuit breaker, electrical panel, and grounding. We ensure that all work complies with Hydro-Québec standards for prompt approval.

Hydro-Québec's role and standards management

Electrical panel replacement requires compliance with Hydro-Québec's technical requirements. As certified Master Electricians, we are responsible for ensuring that your installation complies with these requirements and for submitting your connection request. You don't have to worry about paperwork or complex technical standards—we take care of everything.

Whether you need a single-phase or three-phase installation (for commercial/industrial use), our technical expertise guarantees flawless execution. We install high-quality panels and components for maximum durability, often including the replacement of your meter box if necessary to optimize the new capacity.

Key questions about electrical panel replacement

Increasing the amperage is usually required when your current panel (often 60A or 100A in older buildings) can no longer handle the electrical load of new equipment. The most common reasons include the installation of an electric vehicle (EV) charging station, a hot tub or pool, the addition of a heat pump, or a major renovation. We always assess your needs to determine the optimal capacity.

Service interruption is unavoidable to ensure safety and compliance, but it is planned to be as short as possible. In general, power is cut off for 4 to 8 hours on the day of the work, coinciding with the time when Hydro-Québec must come to make the new final connection. We manage all coordination to minimize inconvenience.

A complete electrical panel replacement includes the replacement of several critical components: the main electrical panel (to upgrade to 200A or 400A), the pole and the circuit breaker (if applicable), as well as verification and upgrading of the grounding. We ensure that all materials and installations comply with the latest Hydro-Québec standards.

MB Electric takes care of everything. One of the complexities of this service is managing the paperwork and obtaining authorizations from Hydro-Québec. As master electricians, we submit disconnection and reconnection requests on your behalf, ensuring that the inspection and service will proceed smoothly and in accordance with their requirements.
