Why this panel upgrade is more involved than a panel swap
Damage to an overhead mast and electrical panel can affect more than the panel itself. In this case, PTX Electric is working through a 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrade while considering local bylaw, BC Hydro requirements and the Canadian Electrical Code. The goal is to identify a practical, cost-effective route that remains within the applicable regulations. Because the work is still underway, final project details and results are not yet available.
Planning for safer, more accessible maintenance
This overhead service project includes a meter disconnect, which allows for whole-home electrical maintenance. Details such as service configuration and utility coordination need to be handled carefully rather than assumed. For Burnaby homeowners, the project highlights the value of choosing a team that can assess the full situation, explain the process and coordinate the work before making changes to the electrical service.

Why can a panel upgrade become a complex project?
A panel upgrade may involve more than replacing the panel. When an overhead service or electrical equipment has been damaged, the work can require coordination with local bylaw, BC Hydro and the Canadian Electrical Code, along with careful planning for the most practical compliant route.
