EV Charger Installation and Circuit Planning
Begin by checking your EV charger's load requirements and how they impact your home's demand profile. After that, you verify panel capacity and breaker space to guarantee a dedicated circuit meets Code without overloading the system. Lastly, you get required permits and verify available Toronto and Ontario rebates before installation to maintain compliance and cut costs.
Load Evaluation Basics
Why launch an EV charger project without first knowing if your service can handle it? Commence with a clear load assessment. Catalog all major appliances, HVAC, water heating, lighting, and typical plug loads. Mark down nameplate ratings, breaker sizes, and expected run times. Apply demand diversity to reflect realistic, non-simultaneous usage, then calculate peak and typical loads in amps at 240V and 120V. Examine circuit balancing across phases to ensure currents even, reduce neutral stress, and minimize voltage drop.
Assess the EV charger's continuous load at 125% of its specification per code. Identify when charging will take place and how it overlaps with cooking, laundry, and heating. Consider future additions. Document results, assumptions, and safety margins. If your results come close to limits, modify schedules or decrease charger capacity before moving forward.
Electrical Panel Capacity Assessments
Even though your load assessment identifies demand, ensure the panel can safely deliver it. Start by confirming the main breaker rating and the panel's busbar ampacity; your EV circuit cannot go beyond these limits. Check available breaker spaces and proper breaker spacing to stop overheating and nuisance trips. Measure actual load with a clamp meter under typical household conditions, then compare to calculated demand to validate headroom.
Check conductor sizes, terminations, and torque values. Look for heat discoloration, corrosion, or brittle insulation-signs indicating the panel's service life is approaching its end. Verify that grounding and bonding remain intact, and that AFCI/GFCI requirements don't exceed capacity. If space or capacity constraints exist, consider a subpanel or a service upgrade. Note findings before determining an EV charger circuit size and placement.
Permitting and Rebate Information
Before buying an EV charger or running wire, confirm local permitting requirements and rebate eligibility to eliminate rework and delays. Toronto and most GTA municipalities need an electrical permit for new circuits, load management devices, and service upgrades. Request your electrician to submit drawings, specify breaker size, wire gauge, GFCI specifications, and mounting location to streamline approval.
Verify permit timelines early; some jurisdictions approve simple residential EV circuits in days, while service upgrades could take weeks. Schedule inspections prior to closing walls or pouring concrete. Retain receipts, model numbers, photos, and inspection reports to verify rebate eligibility.
Examine utility, municipal, federal, and provincial incentives. Most programs necessitate licensed installation, ESA inspection, and approved equipment lists. Schedule your purchase to align with funding windows and priority-based programs.

Group fixtures by function, not just room, to minimize overlighting. Document wiring paths, panel schedules, and control scenes so later service remains safe and straightforward.
LED Retrofit Strategy
Before replacing light fixtures, define the retrofit's targets: cut energy, boost light quality, decrease maintenance, and meet code. Initiate with a site audit: document fixture types, voltage, wiring condition, and ceiling heights. Confirm fixture compatibility for each space, including thermal limits, socket type, ballast or driver requirements, and emergency egress needs. Perform lumen budgeting by area: calculate target illuminance, account for room reflectance, spacing, and uniformity, then select LED packages that fulfill tasks without glare.
Check color quality and consistency: choose appropriate CCT per area and specify CRI/R9 where color matters. Confirm electrical loading, inrush current, and circuit capacity. Prepare safe installation sequencing, lockout/tagout, and waste handling for legacy lamps. Create photometric layouts and cut-sheets. Document warranties and maintenance intervals to ensure long-term performance.
