Panel & Service Upgrades in Barrie
Safe, Code-Compliant Panel Upgrades for Barrie Homes
If your Barrie home still runs on a fuse box, a 60- or 100-amp service, or an older Federal Pioneer / Stab-Lok or aluminum panel, a panel upgrade is one of the smartest safety and value investments you can make. AM Services Inc. upgrades panels and services across Barrie — cleanly, to code, and with the ESA permit and inspection handled for you.
We assess your current load, recommend the right size (most Barrie homes move to a 200-amp service), and complete the swap — usually in a single day — so you have the capacity for EV chargers, hot tubs, air conditioning, additions and modern appliances.

Barrie FAQs
Panel Upgrades in Barrie — Common Questions
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Barrie?
Yes — panel and service upgrades require an ESA permit and inspection in Ontario. As a licensed contractor we pull the permit and coordinate the inspection for you.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most standard residential panel upgrades in Barrie are completed in a single day. Larger services, or a mast/meter relocation, can take longer — we confirm during your free estimate.
Should I get 100 or 200 amp service?
Most Barrie homes today choose a 200-amp service, especially when adding an EV charger, hot tub, AC or an addition. We recommend the right size for your home during the estimate.
Is a Federal Pioneer / Stab-Lok panel dangerous?
These older panels are known for breakers that don't always trip properly, which is a fire risk, and many insurers flag them. We can assess yours and recommend a safe replacement.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Barrie?
It depends on the panel size, whether the meter base/mast needs replacing, and your home's wiring. We give a clear, by-project price up front with a free estimate — no hourly surprises.
