Panel Upgrades in Windsor

Panel Upgrades for Windsor homes

Windsor's century homes, post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions mean everything from knob and tube to EV chargers, often on the same street. Windsor has thousands of pre-war and post-war homes still on 60 or 100 amp services, many with the panel tucked into a basement corner beside the old fuse box. ENWIN Utilities handles the disconnect and reconnect for Windsor service upgrades, and we book that with them so your power is back on the same day.

What's included

New breaker panels and service upgrades from 60 or 100 amps to 200 amps or more, coordinated with your utility and inspected. Depending on your property, the work can include:

• Load calculation
• Utility coordination
• New panel and breakers
• Meter base and mast
• Grounding and bonding
• Permit and inspection
• Site visit.
• Written quote.
• Upgrade day.
• Inspection and labels.

Local conditions in Windsor

Many Windsor homes still run on 60 or 100 amp services with crowded panels, and plenty have detached garages off rear alleys, which makes EV charger and generator installs a matter of planning the route. Service upgrades here are coordinated with ENWIN Utilities for the disconnect and reconnect.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for panel upgrades in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• Will you do a load calculation, and what size service does it support?
• Who books the disconnect and reconnect with the utility?
• What's your ESA licence number, and will you file the permit?
• Is the meter base, mast and grounding work included?
• How long will the power be off?

Permits and inspections

Electrical work in Windsor needs a permit (called a notification) filed with the Electrical Safety Authority, and paid work must be done by an ESA Licensed Electrical Contractor. ESA inspects the work and issues a Certificate of Acceptance, which insurers and buyers often ask for. Service upgrades also involve ENWIN Utilities for the disconnect and reconnect. Utility locates are requested before any digging for buried runs.
