A renovation, heat pump or other new electrical load may call for more than another breaker. Matrix Mechanical assesses panels and service entrances and plans replacements or upgrades around the condition of the existing system and the equipment you want to add.
What we do
- Assess existing panels, breaker space and service arrangements
- Replace aging fuse or breaker panels within a reviewed scope
- Plan and complete service-entrance upgrades for added loads
- Coordinate circuit changes associated with the project
- Arrange required permit, inspection and utility coordination for the work
Planning a panel replacement or service upgrade?
Start with the equipment you want to add and any problems with the existing system. Ask which changes are needed at the panel, service entrance and individual circuits, rather than assuming they are all the same job.
Read our guide to planning an electrical panel or service upgrade before requesting an estimate.
Compare the whole electrical project
Before choosing a quotation, confirm:
- The proposed panel, service capacity and circuits, and which existing equipment or wiring will remain.
- Permit, inspection and utility coordination, including any planned power interruption.
- Cable routes, access, removal of old equipment and responsibility for opening and repairing finishes.
- Testing, circuit labelling, handover information, exclusions, applicable warranties and approval of scope changes.
Matrix Mechanical provides a one-year labour warranty.
The condition of the existing installation, cable routes and access can change the scope. Your quotation determines what is included.
Plan connected work together
Adding a heat pump or EV charger ? Share the equipment specifications before the electrical scope is settled. For a kitchen or bathroom renovation , identify plumbing changes and new appliance locations so the trades can plan around the same layout.

- New heating, cooling or charging equipment needs electrical capacity
- Your panel or service entrance needs replacement or modification
Help us prepare for the visit
Provide photos of the closed panel and service entrance taken from a safe position, describe the equipment being added and share any existing electrical drawings. Include access details and any timing constraint for a planned power interruption.
See Electrical Services for troubleshooting and circuit work.
Do not remove panel covers or approach exposed electrical parts to take photographs.
From a Newtown service upgrade
Matrix Mechanical upgraded a home's 100A electrical service to 200A as part of a heat-pump and electric-heating project. The work included a new meter base, overhead mast, breaker panel and whole-home surge protector.
