Signs your East Valley home needs a panel upgrade
You may need a panel upgrade if your breakers trip when the AC and kitchen run together, lights flicker under load, the panel cover feels warm, or a home inspection flagged capacity concerns. Arizona extreme heat also plays into the panels breaking down over time. Years of summer heat in a garage or on an outside wall can loosen connections and wear out breakers.
Many Queen Creek, Gilbert, San Tan Valley, Chandler, Mesa, Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Florence homes still run on original capacity that fit the day they were built, not today's heat loads and add ons. Planning a Level 2 EV charger, kitchen remodel, pool equipment, shop circuits, or an ADU often triggers the need for more capacity.
This is a diagnostic check, not a scare pitch. Next Phase Electric starts with an on site load check so you know whether a repair, a breaker change, or a full upgrade is the honest path.
What a panel upgrade includes
Load assessment
We look at your current amperage, available breaker spaces, and what you plan to add. That list drives the size of the panel, not a one size fits all sales chart.
Right sized equipment
When load requires it, a common path is moving from 100 amp service to 200 amp service. We size to your home, not a push.
Whole home surge protector included
Every panel install includes a whole home surge protector at no extra charge. It helps guard your AC, appliances, and electronics from power surges.
Siemens and Square D panels
We install Siemens and Square D panels, trusted brands with parts and breakers that are easy to find for years to come.
Permits & coordination
Panel upgrades need a municipal permit and inspection. We pull the permit and coordinate the inspection path so you are not left chasing the town.
Labeling and testing
Before we finish, circuits are labeled clearly and the work is tested. You should leave knowing what each breaker does.
Panel upgrades for EV chargers and Arizona heat loads
East Valley summers already ask a lot of a home electrical system: multiple HVAC runs, kitchen loads, and overnight charging on top.
A Level 2 EV charger plus AC at the same time is a capacity question, not a guessing game. Sometimes the existing panel can carry it. Sometimes the honest first step is a panel upgrade, then the charger circuit. We handle both.
How long it takes and what to expect
Most residential panel upgrades take about one day of on site work. Utility coordination or a meter change can add time. Your written quote includes the expected outage window so you can plan fridge food, work from home, and medical devices before we shut power down.
Day of, we protect the work area, complete the swap and labeling, and leave you with a clear path to inspection.
What a panel upgrade costs
A typical 200 amp panel upgrade runs $3,500 to $5,900. That includes a whole home surge protector on every install. Your exact price depends on panel location, utility involvement, and what your home needs, and you get a free written estimate after an on site load check.
