Load Management Systems in Edmonton & Area
Your 100 amp service may have more room than you think. A load management system watches your home's total draw and pauses a big load, like an EV charger, when the house needs the capacity. No full service upgrade required.

Load Management Systems done properly
A service upgrade can mean a new meter base, new service conductors and coordination with the utility. Sometimes that's the right call. But often, the house only comes near its limit for a few minutes a day, when the oven, dryer and furnace all run at once.
Load management systems monitor your service in real time and temporarily reduce or pause a controlled load, most commonly an EV charger, when total demand gets close to the limit. The Canadian Electrical Code recognizes these systems, and they can be a fast, cost-effective way to add capacity where you need it.
When load management fits
- You have a 60 or 100 amp service and want an EV charger
- A load calculation shows you're close, but not far over
- You want to avoid the cost and wait of a full service upgrade
- You're adding a large load that can pause briefly without a problem

Load Management Systems questions
It's a device that monitors how much power your home is using and automatically reduces or pauses a specific large load, like an EV charger, when you're near the limit of your service.
In most homes, yes. The charger only pauses during brief peaks, usually when several big appliances run together, and resumes automatically.
It often is, especially when a service upgrade would require a new meter base or utility work. We'll quote both so you can compare.
