Do You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade in Phoenix?

Your panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. Here's how to know if it's safe — and what an upgrade costs.

Warning signs your panel is struggling

• Breakers trip often — especially when you run the AC and the dryer at once
• Lights flicker or dim when an appliance kicks on
• A burning smell or warm panel — this is urgent, call now
• Home built before the 1990s that still has a 60-100 amp panel
• You're adding a big load — an EV charger, a pool, a home addition

What a panel upgrade costs in Phoenix

Most panel upgrades run $1,500-$3,500, depending on the panel size, amperage, and how much rewiring is needed. The most common job is a 100-amp to 200-amp upgrade — enough headroom for modern homes, AC, and an EV charger.

Why do it now, not later

A panel upgrade isn't a luxury — it's the difference between a home that handles modern electrical load safely and one that trips, flickers, or worse. And if you're planning an EV charger, a solar install, or a remodel, you'll need the headroom anyway. Doing it first means one job, one permit, one clean install.
