What changes a residential proposal?
Document the present rating and the reason for work. An EV circuit may fit the existing supply with an accepted load calculation and controls; an equipment defect may call for repair or replacement rather than a capacity increase.
A fuse box proposal should distinguish distribution replacement from any service change. If existing conductors are aluminum, ask for a compatible termination and condition assessment, not an assumption about the age of the building.
For a panel-only change, identify existing conductor and breaker compatibility, the permit holder, inspection, circuit-directory update and any finish repair. Ask whether meter work is expressly excluded.

Separate distribution equipment from an increased service. Identify the meter, service path, utility work, permit, inspection and restoration boundaries in every proposal. A single amp label is not an itemized quote.
Calgary homeowner permits exclude changes to the main electrical service, main panel, main breaker and meter base. Have the electrical contractor confirm the applicable permit and inspection sequence, and utility isolation or service review where required.
