A great many homes and cottages around Muskoka are running electrical service sized for a very different house. Hot tubs, EV chargers, electric heat, finished basements and air conditioning have all arrived since the panel went in, and the first thing any energy project turns up is whether that panel can carry what is being asked of it.

People arrive wanting a charger or a battery and find out the real job is the service feeding it. Better to find that out first.

What gets done

Panel upgrades

More capacity, current code, and room for what comes next. Usually what makes a charger, battery or generator possible rather than a job on its own.

EV charger installation

Level 2 charging at home, with the capacity assessment first so the circuit is not being hung off a panel that cannot take it.

Generator links

A transfer connection for a portable generator — the safe alternative to cords through a window. See generators.

Electric furnace repair

Common in cottages and homes with no gas service. Failed elements, thermostats, breaker trips and airflow faults, usually at the worst moment of the year.

Agricultural and outbuildings

Barns, shops and farm properties, where runs are long, conditions are hard on everything, and the load is nothing like a house.

Emergency service

Panel failures, burnt wiring, loss of power. Around-the-clock call-out for the faults that cannot wait for Monday.

Waterfront and seasonal properties

Cottage electrical has its own problems. Long underground runs from the road, corrosion at anything near water, docks and boathouses with their own bonding and grounding requirements, and buildings that sit unused for months and then get used hard for a fortnight.

Rural properties also tend to sit at the end of the line, which means they see more outages and more of the voltage dips that shorten the life of everything with a motor in it.

All electrical work is carried out by licensed electricians and inspected.

Common Questions

Sometimes. A Level 2 charger is a substantial continuous load, and whether your existing service can take it depends on the panel size and what is already on it. An electrician does a capacity assessment first — that answer comes before the charger is ordered, not after.
Common signs are breakers that trip under normal use, lights that dim when large appliances start, no spare breaker spaces, or a panel brand known to be problematic. An upgrade is also frequently triggered by adding something substantial: a hot tub, electric heat, a charger, a battery or a generator.
Usually, and it is often the better time — the place is empty and the work is not interrupting anyone. Access and whether the water is on are the practical questions, and worth raising when you first make contact.
Yes. Electrical work of this kind must be done by a licensed electrical contractor and is subject to inspection. That is what protects you at resale and at claim time, and it is not a corner worth cutting.
No. We are an independent referral service operated by Ontario Lead Networks. We pass your request to one independent local electrician and you deal with them directly. We do not perform electrical work.
