Assured Electrical upgrades and installs electrical panels for homes in Halifax, Nova Scotia, including 100 to 200 amp upgrades, fuse box replacements and sub panels. Every job includes a free load assessment, a written quote, permit and inspection handling, and Nova Scotia Power coordination.
Many Halifax homes still run on 60 or 100 amp service, installed before heat pumps, EV chargers and electric heating. When a panel can’t keep up, it becomes a safety problem, not just an inconvenience.
An electrical panel upgrade replaces your old panel with a modern one sized for what your home needs now, with room for what you’ll add later.

It depends on your current panel capacity and total electrical load. Adding a heat pump often requires dedicated breakers, and older 60A or 100A panels may need an upgrade to 200A service to safely handle the new equipment.
Heat pumps draw significant power, especially during startup and auxiliary heating cycles. A dedicated circuit prevents overloaded breakers, voltage fluctuations, and potential safety hazards on shared home circuits.
Yes. We are fully licensed in both electrical and HVAC trades, allowing us to perform complete heat pump installations and electrical hookups without needing secondary subcontractors.
Common warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, buzzing sounds near the disconnect switch, flickering lights when the unit turns on, or the heat pump failing to power up.
