200A/400A Power Upgrades
Do you know what is an Electrical Service Entrance? Many components of your home require proper power upgrades. Most people are unaware of how the electricity in a house or building is set up. Therefore, evaluating electrical repairs may feel daunting. For those that do not know, a service entrance is the connection of the wires to the meter that regulates your electricity usage. This meter is typically on the side of the house, near your electrical panel. Sometimes, it is thought of as the breaker or a fuse box.
This is not a repair you should attempt yourself – it is required that a licensed electrician complete these upgrades. Let’s learn more about the repair and how Wire-Man Electric can serve you:
Upgrading Your Electrical Service Entrance
Many homes have 100 or 200 amp electrical service panels – and this may not be sufficient enough for your needs today. Seventy or one hundred years ago, this might have made sense. Still, our lives have changed tremendously.
In today’s world, our electricity needs encompass smart devices, multiple appliances, TVs, electric heating, electric water heaters, and other electrical needs. Upgrading to 200 amps or 400 amps will give you more power in your house. Old panels may not be able to accommodate these changes. Therefore, you need an expert like Wire-Man Electric to deal with your 200A/400A power upgrade.
If you require a new electrical panel, the electrical load calculation must be completed to convey the correct amount of power. We can assess your current electrical panels and breakers. We can also evaluate the connectors and wires for excessive wear. Constant breakdowns or outages are a hassle – so if you are having problems with an outdated electrical system, let us know: we can help you.
Why You Should Consider an Upgrade
Outside of limited power usage, there are several compelling reasons this repair needs to be completed. The main reason is safety: older systems can be an electrical or fire hazard. An affordable and pain-free 200A/400A power upgrade is worth it to save your house and protect your family from danger. This is especially true if wires are corroded, damaged, or deteriorated.
Also, if you add more electrical services to your house, the whole system could be overloaded – and it might shut down or cause a blow-out. The best way to know your needs is to have a qualified electrician assess any potential damage. Do not leave your electrical to chance – it is much easier to do the upgrade as a preventative measure than it is to do it after a crisis. Plus, this upgrade will give you increased capabilities for any future needs.

I needed a number of electrical services around my home with the primary one being a hot tub installation wiring. I found Harman and his company through the web after receiving other quotes that were unreasonably high. Harman came in and gave me a reasonable quote so I made the decision to give him a try and I was glad I did. He arrived early for every service call and walked me through everything he would be doing. He was also very flexible when I had a few change requests. All the work was performed to my satisfaction and I highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking for a reliable and customer service oriented electrical contractor.

We are a plumbing heating and gas contractor, earlier this week we found ourselves in a bind, I called the team at wire-man electric and they were on site within hours! Not to mention the final bill was at a price that made us feel as if we got "hooked up"

The 2 electricians were professional and hard working. Arrived on time and it was great they took the debris away. For the bathroom fan installation/upgrade, they discovered the old fan "installed by the previous owner of my condo, was not connected to the vent. The vent was on the other side of ceiling. The price was very reasonable. Highly recommend!

The woman I spoke to first on the phone was very professional, friendly and helpful and assured me someone would get back to me right away and within minutes I received a call and the technician was on his way! Harmon arrived promptly, masked and with a great attitude. I had several repairs I needed done and they were done well and properly leaving me and my husband feeling very reassured that we were safe electrically. I expected to be billed a lot more than I was and the payment was easily made I highly recommend dealing with wireman! I had tried to contact an electrical contractor that I had used for a large renovation and they couldnt help me for weeks and called a few times before even a return call

Harman at Wire-man Electric is great to deal with. Not only is he quick to reply to emails, but he provides excellent customer service and his rates are very reasonable. Plus, he’s available weekends, which is great! I highly recommend him for all your electrical needs.

I was having some issues with my electrical services. Having experience working in the construction industry, I attempted to diagnose the problem myself. My findings showed this to be a way larger problem. I called Wire-Man Electric explained the issues, and Harm was able to both explain and diagnose the issue with clarity in a structured systematic approach. I was surprised to know it was a lot less work than expected. Working in the construction industry for many years it's hard to come by someone who can articulate a problem and solution with such eloquence. I left this interaction with more knowledge and an overall better understanding of my electrical system. I really appreciate the friendliness, professionalism, and overall strive for perfection in the business process shown by Wireman. I will definently use them for my electrical needs in future projects!Thank youPaul

The repair was timely and reasonably priced. From initial inquiry to repair took 24 hours. Could have been less if I’d been home when they were available. Harman was great - let me know he’d be 1/2 hour later than expected and then was right on time. Having spent whole days at home waiting for trades people to show up, and then they don’t, this was greatly appreciated! It works, I’m happy.

They had a guy come over two hours after we called. He was on time, he was able to trouble shoot multiple problems very quickly and he was polite and pleasant. Ended up cheaper than I thought it would be as well - couldn’t ask for more!

We just purchased a townhouse and well my " its easy you can do it yourself" light swapping out my kitchen pot lights didn't work out as planned. I was half way through my "easy project" and I was simply in over my head. One call cleared things up. I had an appointment set, they arrived on time, swapped out the lights, fixed the mess I started, cleaned up the work area and 2 hours later they were done. Best service you could ask for. Do it yourself and phone them!

We contracted the services of Wire-Man Electric for our new restaurant project in Fleetwood. Harman and his crew did a fabulous job ! They were punctual, professional and flexible. Commercial projects can get complicated when it comes to changes to the plan but Harman and his crew were very flexible to all the changes.We would recommend their services to anyone who is looking for quality work and wants the project to be finished in a timely manner.Thanks Harman :)

We are SO happy with all the amazing work done in our kitchen renovation! We had outlets moved, potlights and pendant lights added, new switches put in, and under cabinet lighting installed!

We got our games and living room lighting updated to new recessed LED lights. Wire-Man were true professionals with attention to detail in prepping work area thoroughly, detailing planning and measuring, quality install and proper post cleanup. We are very happy with our updated lighting and I would highly recommend Wire-Man both in terms of cost and quality.

We called several companies and Wire-Man got back to us super fast! They were able to fit us in very quickly, next day in fact, which I was not expecting! They showed up early and were very efficient. They did a great job, no hidden fees, no re-scheduling. I had them take a peek at some damaged electrical units while they were there for the initial light installation. I'd use them again in a heart beat, and I'd recommend them to anyone who needs something done with electrical. Great company, Great response time, I'm very impressed. Thank you!

This company is amazing!! Our trusted home inspector had highly reccomended wire-man. We had multiple complicated electrical issues come up in our home and prior to contacting wireman, we were told by others that it may not be something that can be an easy fix. They are professional, quick to respond, straight forward and fair with their pricing, no hidden unexpected fees after the work is done either. They were also able to easily fix our multiple issues so quickly that I ended up asking them to do other electrical work we needed done. We have never had such a positive experience with a company before.

Excellent service! I am very happy with Harman and his crew! Professional, efficient, friendly and very experienced. They know exactly how many pot lights to place and where they need to be. My living room, kitchen, and dining room now feel so much bigger. They suggest to put in a dimmer which adds so much ambiance to the rooms and saves energy. They are very helpful with all my questions and help, even after the project is done. Competitive pricing too. These guys are professionals. I strongly recommended them for all your lighting needs!

This is a truly great business to use.We had Sukh and JD here today and Harm did all the quotes before the work was done.Sukh and JD were very quick and efficient in their work and honestly the best part was they cleaned up so well like they had never been here. We have had them in for three jobs so far and that won’t be the last work they do for Yokohama Tire.For any electrical needs for companies in area call these guys first.Thank you Wire-Man.

After trying to find an electrician for a week, I saw a 'Wire-Man' Van driving around and sent them an email. Harman was very quick to reply and managed to complete the job a few days later. Super fast, professional and reliable. Thanks for everything!
