Electrical Panel Upgrades in Phoenix, AZ
Replace outdated, dangerous, or maxed-out electrical panels with modern 200-amp solar-ready Square D or Eaton panels with full city permitting.
Upgrade to a modern 200A/400A service to power modern AC, EV, and solar.
Your electrical panel is the central nervous system of your entire home. Many homes across Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa built between the 1950s and 1980s still operate on original 100-amp or 125-amp services designed for an era before high-efficiency heat pumps, modern kitchen appliances, backyard pools, and electric vehicle chargers.
Worse, thousands of Valley homes still contain documented fire hazard panels—notably Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok and Zinsco/Sylvania panels—which have failure rates over 25% and are routinely flagged during home sales and insurance renewals. We replace obsolete services with clean, modern 200-amp solar-ready Square D QO or Eaton panels, pulling all municipal permits and coordinating utility power disconnects with SRP and APS.

Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacement questions, answered.
How do I know if my Phoenix home needs a 200-amp panel upgrade?+
Common indicators include a main breaker rated under 150 amps, breakers tripping during peak summer cooling months, adding an EV charger or pool heat pump, or wanting solar power. If your panel has no empty slots, an upgrade or subpanel is required.
Why won't insurance companies cover Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels?+
Independent laboratory testing found Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers fail to trip on short circuits up to 25% of the time, allowing wires to overheat and cause structure fires. Zinsco breakers frequently fuse to the aluminum bus bar. Most insurers require these panels to be replaced prior to issuing or renewing coverage.
How long will my power be turned off during a panel replacement?+
Typically between 4 to 7 hours on the day of installation. We schedule early morning utility disconnects, install the new panel efficiently, and coordinate immediate city inspection so power is safely restored before evening.
Do you pull municipal permits and coordinate with SRP or APS?+
Yes. Every panel upgrade requires a building permit from your city (Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, Chandler, or Glendale) and a coordinated disconnect/reconnect order with your electric utility (SRP or APS). We handle all scheduling and paperwork.
