Overview

Electric Panel Upgrades From a Local, Family-Owned Team

An electric panel upgrade gives your home the safe capacity it needs for how you use power today. Many Mesa homes still run on panels that were sized for a smaller house with fewer appliances, long before EV chargers, second air conditioners and home offices became common.

JBEE Industries is a licensed, bonded and insured electrical contractor, and we upgrade and replace electrical panels across Mesa and the East Valley. We start with a load calculation, explain your options in plain words, and give you upfront pricing before any work begins.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Replacement

Your panel is the hub that sends power to every circuit in the house. When it is overloaded, worn or outdated, it usually lets you know. These are the signs we see most often in Mesa homes.

Arizona summers make the problem worse. Air conditioners run for long stretches in triple digit heat, and a panel that barely keeps up in spring can start tripping breakers in July. Many panels also sit on exterior walls in direct sun, which adds heat to connections that are already working hard.

Know The Difference

Panel Upgrade vs. Service Upgrade

These two terms get used interchangeably, but they are not the same job. A panel replacement swaps out the breaker panel itself, usually because it is worn, unsafe or out of space, while keeping the same amount of power coming into the home.

A service upgrade increases the amount of power your home can draw, for example moving from 100 amp to 200 amp service. That can involve the meter base, the service entrance wiring and coordination with your utility, in addition to the new panel. Many older homes have 100 amp service, while most newer homes are built with 200 amps.

Sometimes neither is needed. If your service has enough capacity but the panel is simply out of space, a subpanel can add circuits for a garage, workshop or addition. We will tell you honestly which option fits your home.

Plan Ahead

Panel Upgrades for EV Chargers, Solar and Heat Pumps

Most panel upgrades we quote start with a new project. A Level 2 EV charger needs its own dedicated circuit, and in homes with limited capacity that is often the reason for the upgrade. Our EV charger installation page explains how we check whether your panel can handle a charger.

Solar is another common trigger. How much solar your home can connect depends partly on the rating of your panel’s busbar and main breaker, so the panel is part of any solar plan. The same goes for heat pumps, electric ranges and other appliances that replace gas. If you are planning more than one of these, it pays to size the panel once for all of them.

Our Process

How an Electric Panel Upgrade Works

Every job starts with a visit and a load calculation, which adds up what your home uses now and what you plan to add. From there we recommend the right size panel or service and give you a free estimate with upfront pricing.

Panel work usually requires a permit and a city inspection, and a service upgrade typically requires your utility to disconnect and reconnect power. Your power will be off while the work is done, and we will tell you ahead of time what to expect. When the new panel is in, we label every circuit, test the system, and walk you through it.

Cost Factors

What Affects Panel Upgrade Cost

Panel upgrade cost depends on the scope. A like for like panel replacement is a different job than a full service upgrade with a new meter base. Other factors include the panel’s location, the condition of existing wiring and grounding, and whether any circuits need to be added or corrected to bring the system up to code.

We do not guess at prices over the phone because every home is different. We come out, look at your system, and give you a free estimate. Financing options are available on larger upgrades.

Call or text
Mon to Fri, 8 AM to 5 PM
01How do I know if my home needs a panel upgrade?
Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights when the AC starts, a warm or buzzing panel, or no room for new breakers are the most common signs. A panel upgrade is also often needed before adding an EV charger, solar or a large new appliance. A load calculation tells you for sure.
02Is 100 amp service enough for my house?
It can be for a smaller home with gas appliances and one air conditioner. Once you add an EV charger, a second AC, a heat pump or an electric range, 100 amps often runs short. We calculate your actual load before recommending anything.
03Can I add an EV charger without upgrading my panel?
Sometimes. If your panel has enough spare capacity and space for a new breaker, a dedicated charger circuit may fit without an upgrade. Some chargers can also be set to charge at a lower amperage. We check before we recommend a panel upgrade.
04Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Mesa?
Panel replacements and service upgrades generally require a permit and an inspection. The inspection is there to confirm the work is safe and meets code. We will explain what your specific job requires when we give your estimate.
05Will my power be off during the upgrade?
Yes, the power has to be off while the panel is replaced. How long depends on the size of the job and, for a service upgrade, on the utility's disconnect and reconnect. We will explain the schedule before the work starts.

We installed 2 units mini split with Jbee cooling. They were on time, fast, and very professional. Take them 4 hours to finish everything. They cleaned up the job sites very good and even paint all duct work and electrical box match to color of the house. We are very happy with your work. I am very recommended Jbee cooling to who need the service about AC installation or AC service. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

JBee did a turnkey HVAC install. Every aspect went as promised. Low/high voltage electrical, ductwork, crane and roof install, wifi thermostat, all went like clockwork. And to a person, the crews (specialists in each area) were impressive. Arrived exactly when promised and stayed busy. I might also add their clean-up made it look as if they were never there. Highly reccomend
