As homes in Edmonton and surrounding areas add EV chargers, garage heaters, air conditioning, and other high-demand electrical loads, many electrical panels reach capacity faster than expected.
A load management system is a smart, code-approved solution that allows additional electrical loads—such as EV chargers—without upgrading your electrical service.
At Thormack Electric Inc., we provide professional load management system installation in Edmonton, helping homeowners safely expand their electrical capabilities while protecting their existing service.
A load management system monitors your home’s total electrical demand in real time and automatically controls how power is distributed.
When electrical usage approaches safe limits, the system temporarily reduces or pauses non-essential loads, such as EV charging, until capacity becomes available again.
Many homes in Edmonton were built before modern electrical demand levels were common.
Rather than upgrading the electrical service, load management often provides a safer and more cost-effective alternative.
One of the most common uses for load management systems is EV charger installation.
EV chargers are considered a continuous electrical load under the Canadian Electrical Code. Without proper load control, adding an EV charger can overload an electrical panel.
For many Edmonton homeowners, load management makes EV charging practical and affordable.
