Electrical Panel Upgrades in Gilbert, AZ
Gilbert's 1990s subdivisions were built around 125-amp and 150-amp panels. Those homes now run two cars, a home office, and a pool. We size the service to match.
Why it matters
Gilbert homes were sized for a smaller decade.
Gilbert grew fastest in the 1990s and early 2000s, and the panels that went into those subdivisions reflect it. A 125-amp or 150-amp service was generous for a household with one computer and a single-car habit.
Val Vista Lakes, the Islands, and the Greenfield corridor are full of them. So is the Heritage District. Homes there are older still. Some have service gear that predates the breaker panel.
The symptoms show up slowly. The breaker for the garage trips when the compressor starts. Lights dim for a second when the AC kicks on in July. There is no room left for the circuit you actually need. None of that is a mystery, and none of it is something to live with.
What's included
From load calculation to labeled panel.
A Gilbert upgrade usually means moving a home from 125 or 150 amps up to 200. Here is what that includes.
Load calculation
We measure actual demand, including what you plan to add, and size the new service to it.
Service entrance check
On older Gilbert homes the weatherhead, meter base, and feed sometimes need replacing along with the panel. We look before quoting.
Panel replacement
The old panel comes out, the correctly sized one goes in, and the mounting and grounding get brought current.
Circuit transfer and labeling
Every circuit moved, tested, and labeled so the panel makes sense to the next person who opens it.
AFCI and GFCI protection
Modern breaker protection installed everywhere current code requires it.
Permit, inspection, walkthrough
Filed with Gilbert, inspected, then walked with you circuit by circuit.
Local details
Gilbert's permit desk and SRP, coordinated.
Two outside parties touch a Gilbert panel upgrade. Neither one is your problem to chase.
SRP serves most of Gilbert
The meter pull is scheduled with SRP, not with the town. Those are separate appointments and we book both.
The Gilbert One Stop Shop
Electrical permits come from Development Services on East Civic Center Drive. We apply online and handle the inspection.
ROC C-11 or R-11 required
Arizona requires a licensed electrical contractor to pull the permit. An unpermitted panel becomes a problem when you sell.
Heritage District homes need a closer look
The oldest part of Gilbert sometimes needs the service entrance rebuilt, not just the panel swapped. We check first so the quote holds.

FAQ
The questions homeowners ask us first.
Something we didn't cover? Call (480) 283-5007 and we'll walk you through it personally.
The main breaker at the top of the panel has the number stamped on it. If it reads 125 or 150 and you are adding an EV charger, a pool, or a shop, the load calculation is worth running.
