EV Charger + Panel Upgrade Bundle in Newmarket

Most Newmarket homes built before 2000 have 100-amp panels that are already near capacity with central AC, electric stove, and dryer loads. A Level 2 charger draws 32 to 48 amps continuously, which usually requires upgrading to 200 amps. RenoHouse runs a load calculation during the free estimate to confirm whether you need an upgrade or can use load management.

Typical bundled cost ranges from $4,000 to $8,000 in the Newmarket. This includes the 200A panel, meter base, ESA permit, Newmarket Hydro coordination, the Level 2 charger unit, the dedicated 60A circuit, and the final inspection. Service mast replacement adds $1,500 to $3,000 if the existing mast is undersized or damaged.

RenoHouse installs all major Level 2 chargers including Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, FLO Home X5, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, Grizzl-E Smart, and Emporia EV Charger. We help you choose based on your vehicle, smart home preferences, and whether you want hardwired or NEMA 14-50 plug-in installation.

Most EV Charger + Panel Upgrade Bundles are completed in a single day, typically 8 to 10 hours. Power is off for 4 to 6 hours during the panel swap, then restored after the new panel is energized. The charger circuit and unit are installed and tested before our team leaves.

Yes, RenoHouse handles the complete permit process. We pull a single ESA permit covering both the panel upgrade and the EV charger circuit, coordinate the Newmarket Hydro service disconnect and reconnect, and schedule the final ESA inspection. You do not need to make any calls or paperwork yourself.

Yes, Ontario homeowners can claim up to $1,000 through the Save on Energy program when installing an eligible Level 2 smart charger. RenoHouse provides all required paperwork and receipts to support your rebate application. Eligibility and rebate amounts can change, so we confirm current program rules during your estimate.

Bundling saves $800 to $1,500 in duplicate mobilization, separate permit fees, and labour. It also eliminates the awkward gap where your charger is installed but cannot be safely used until the panel is upgraded. A single coordinated project means one ESA inspection, one Newmarket Hydro coordination, and one team arriving once instead of twice.

If your service mast is too small, damaged, or located in the wrong place, we coordinate a full service mast upgrade with Newmarket Hydro as part of the project. This adds 4 to 6 weeks of lead time for Newmarket Hydro scheduling and roughly $1,500 to $3,000 in additional cost. We assess mast condition during the free estimate.

Yes. A 200-amp panel installed for an EV charger bundle has plenty of capacity for a second Level 2 charger if you add a second EV later. Many of our clients pre-wire conduit during the bundle so adding the second charger costs only $400 to $800 in the future. Tell our electrician during the estimate if you anticipate a second EV.

Yes. Detached garages and long runs (40+ feet from the panel) often require upsized wire (typically 4 AWG copper or 2 AWG aluminum) and conduit through finished walls or buried in trenches. We assess the run during the free estimate, price accordingly, and handle any drywall patching, conduit work, or trenching required for a clean installation.

Outdoor outlets require weatherproof GFCI-protected receptacles installed in code-compliant boxes. We run dedicated circuits from your panel to strategic outdoor locations — patios, garages, sheds, and garden areas. All installations meet ESA requirements and include proper grounding for safety.

A panel upgrade (typically 100A to 200A) involves replacing the main breaker panel, upgrading the service entrance cable, and potentially upgrading the meter base. The process takes 4–8 hours and requires a temporary power shutoff. We coordinate with your local utility and ensure ESA inspection approval.

Hot tubs typically require a dedicated 240V/50A circuit with GFCI protection. We run the wiring from your panel to the hot tub location, install a disconnect switch within sight of the tub (code requirement), and ensure everything passes ESA inspection. Planning ahead during deck construction saves on installation costs.
