Markham's EV Charger and Electrical Specialists

Markham's tech community — anchored by the 407 tech corridor — has one of the highest EV adoption rates in the GTA. We install more EV chargers per capita in Markham than almost anywhere else we serve. The demand is consistent across all Markham neighbourhoods: Cornell, Cathedraltown, Berczy Village, Milliken, and Box Grove homeowners are all upgrading to EVs and need proper Level 2 home chargers installed by licensed electricians with the right permits.

At the same time, the older Unionville and Buttonville areas have homes from the 1970s and 1980s that are due for panel upgrades. These homes were built with 100-amp panels that are simply not up to modern electrical demands. We handle panel upgrades in Markham's older areas with the same professionalism we bring to every project.

EV Chargers, Panel Upgrades, and More in Markham

A proper Level 2 EV charger installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit, typically at 40–50 amps, run from your home's main panel to the garage. Most Markham homes built after 1995 have 200-amp panels that can accommodate one EV charger easily. Homes planning to charge two EVs simultaneously, or those with high existing electrical loads, may benefit from a 200A to 400A panel upgrade before or alongside the charger installation.

We install Eaton-branded Level 2 chargers throughout Markham. Eaton chargers are among the most reliable on the market, and as an authorized Eaton installer, we ensure the installation meets the manufacturer's specifications and qualifies for any available rebates. The ESA permit and inspection are included in our standard installation package — you'll receive the inspection certificate within days of the installation.

For the older Unionville and Buttonville areas, panel upgrades are the primary concern. Many 1970s-1980s homes in these neighbourhoods have original 100-amp panels that trip frequently under modern loads. Upgrading to 200A is a significant quality-of-life improvement for these homes, and it's often required by insurers before they'll renew coverage on an aging panel.

Frequently Asked Questions — Markham

Do you install Level 2 EV chargers in Markham?
Yes. EV charger installation is our most requested service in Markham. We install Eaton Level 2 home chargers on dedicated 240V circuits, handle the ESA permit, and have the inspection completed within days. Most installations in Markham single-family homes are completed in 2 to 4 hours. We also assess whether your panel needs an upgrade to handle the charger load before we begin.
Can you serve Unionville and Cornell?
Yes, we serve all Markham neighbourhoods including both Unionville and Cornell. Historic Unionville is one of our more active areas for panel upgrades in older 1970s-1980s homes. Cornell and the newer Markham subdivisions are among our busiest EV charger installation areas. We're familiar with both parts of Markham and respond promptly to service calls throughout the city.
My 1980s Markham home has a 100A panel — is that enough?
For a standard household without an EV charger or major appliance additions, a 100A panel may still be adequate — but it's operating near capacity. If you're planning to add an EV charger, upgrade your kitchen appliances, add central air conditioning, or renovate a basement, a 100A panel will likely be insufficient. We offer free panel assessments in Markham and will give you an honest recommendation based on your current and planned loads.
Do you do commercial electrical in Markham's business parks?
Yes. We handle commercial electrical work in Markham's business parks and the 407 tech corridor, including tenant fit-outs, panel upgrades, lighting retrofits, EV charger installations in commercial parking lots, and electrical troubleshooting. Contact us to discuss your commercial project and we'll provide a written quote.
