Electric Vehicle Charger Installation and Circuit Planning
You start by confirming your EV charger's load requirements and how they influence your home's demand profile. Next, you confirm panel capacity and breaker space to confirm a dedicated circuit meets Code without overloading the system. To conclude, you secure required permits and check available Toronto and Ontario rebates before installation to remain compliant while lowering expenses.
Load Assessment Fundamentals
Why start an EV charger project without first understanding if your service can handle it? Begin 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. Use 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 maintain currents even, reduce neutral stress, and minimize voltage drop.
Map the EV charger's continuous load at 125% of its capacity per code. Determine when charging will take place and how it overlaps with cooking, laundry, and heating. Account for future additions. Document findings, assumptions, and safety margins. If your results near limits, revise schedules or downsize charger capacity before moving forward.
Panel Capacity Assessments
Though your load assessment establishes demand, ensure the panel can safely deliver it. Initially check the main breaker rating and the panel's busbar ampacity; your EV circuit must not surpass these limits. Inspect available breaker spaces and proper breaker spacing to eliminate overheating and nuisance trips. Record actual load with a clamp meter under typical household conditions, then compare to calculated demand to establish headroom.
Check conductor gauges, terminations, and torque values. Identify heat discoloration, corrosion, or brittle insulation-signs that the panel's service life is reaching its limit. Validate grounding and bonding integrity, and AFCI/GFCI needs don't surpass available capacity. If space or capacity constraints exist, consider a subpanel or a service upgrade. Note findings before committing to an EV charger circuit size and placement.
Permitting and Rebate Information
Before purchasing an EV charger or running wire, verify local permitting requirements and rebate eligibility to avoid rework and delays. Toronto and most GTA municipalities mandate an electrical permit for new circuits, load management devices, and service upgrades. Have your electrician to submit drawings, specify breaker size, wire gauge, GFCI needs, and mounting location to streamline approval.
Verify permit timelines beforehand; some jurisdictions approve simple residential EV circuits in a few days, while service upgrades may require weeks. Schedule inspections before closing walls or pouring concrete. Retain receipts, model numbers, photos, and inspection reports to verify rebate eligibility.
Verify provincial, federal, municipal, and utility incentives. Numerous programs necessitate licensed installation, ESA inspection, and approved equipment lists. Time your purchase to correspond to funding windows and priority-based programs.

Log wiring paths, panel schedules, and control scenes so upcoming service remains simple and secure.
LED Conversion Planning
Before changing out lamps, define the retrofit's goals: decrease energy, increase light quality, decrease maintenance, and meet code. Begin with a site audit: document fixture types, voltage, wiring condition, and ceiling heights. Validate 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 address requirements without glare.
Confirm color quality and consistency: pick appropriate CCT per area and specify CRI/R9 where color matters. Confirm electrical loading, inrush current, and circuit capacity. Organize safe installation sequencing, lockout/tagout, and waste handling for legacy lamps. Prepare photometric layouts and cut-sheets. Document warranties and maintenance intervals to safeguard long-term performance.
