Electrical Panel Upgrades & Replacements

Electrical Panel Replacements in Mesa, Scottsdale, and the Phoenix Valley

Every circuit in your home runs through the electrical panel. When it starts to fail, runs out of breaker space, or can no longer carry the load, everything downstream suffers: breakers trip, lights flicker, AC compressors short-cycle, and EV chargers can't get enough power to charge overnight. At The Wire Guy Electric, panel work is one of the things we do most often. Arizona ROC #365306, fully insured, and coordinated directly with APS or SRP from start to finish.

What We Do

• 200-amp like-for-like replacement. The job we do most often. Old 200-amp panel comes out, new Square D, Siemens, or Eaton panel goes in. Same service size, fresh equipment, all new breakers.
• Full service replacement (all-in-one meter base and panel). When the meter base itself is corroded, undersized, or out of spec, we replace the whole assembly as a single combo unit.
• Recall-brand replacements. Old Zinsco, Federal Pacific (FPE), Challenger, and Pushmatic panels are a known fire hazard. If you have one, it needs to come out. We replace with new Square D, Siemens, or Eaton panels rated for today's loads.
• Service upgrades (200 to 400 amp). Adding a pool, hot tub, EV charger, casita, or second AC unit can push your home past what existing service can handle. We do the load calculation, coordinate with SRP or APS for the meter pull, and get you upgraded.
• Panel relocations. Moving a panel from inside a garage to an exterior wall, or shifting it to accommodate a remodel. Includes new meter base, service conductors, grounding system, and utility coordination.
• Subpanel installs. Sometimes the right answer isn't a full main upgrade. Adding a subpanel for a new garage workshop, casita, or EV charger circuit is often faster and cheaper.

What It Costs

APS and SRP Coordination

A real panel replacement requires the utility to pull the meter, and in many cases temporarily disconnect service at the pole or transformer. We coordinate that for you. We submit the service request to APS or SRP, schedule the meter pull around your work window, and get you back on power the same day whenever possible.

Our Standards for Panel Work

• NEC-compliant every time. Grounding, bonding, working clearances, and arc-fault protection are all done to code.
• Straight answers on scope. We tell you what your job requires and what it does not, so you can decide without pressure.
• Licensed, bonded, insured. Arizona ROC #365306.
• Clean work. Labeled breakers, straight wire runs, proper torquing, and no loose neutrals. When you open your panel, it should look like a textbook photo.
