Stop Tripping Breakers in Your Home

Electrical Panel Upgrades and Service Changes in Queen Creek, Arizona

You reset the same breaker repeatedly after running the air conditioner and microwave at the same time, and your panel struggles to keep up with the electrical demands of modern appliances and devices throughout your home in Queen Creek. Older panels were designed for lower loads and fewer circuits, and adding new equipment often pushes them beyond their capacity. Southern Circuit Co. replaces outdated panels with updated models that provide more circuits, higher amperage, and improved safety features.

A panel upgrade involves removing the existing panel and installing a new one with greater capacity and modern circuit breakers that respond correctly to overloads. We evaluate your current electrical usage, determine the appropriate panel size, and coordinate with your utility provider if a service change is required to increase the amperage delivered to your home. Service changes involve upgrading the main service line and meter base, which allows your panel to handle larger loads without overheating or tripping breakers. The work includes permits and inspections to ensure compliance with local electrical codes.

What Happens During a Panel Replacement

We disconnect power at the meter and remove the old panel, then mount the new panel in the same location or relocate it if necessary for safety or accessibility. Each existing circuit is transferred to the new panel and connected to appropriately sized breakers, and we label each circuit clearly to identify which areas and appliances it serves. If your home requires a service change, we install a new meter base and coordinate the utility connection before energizing the panel.

After the upgrade, you will notice that breakers no longer trip during normal use, and you can operate multiple appliances simultaneously without interruptions. Your home is ready to support additional electrical equipment, and the panel provides room for future circuits as your needs change.

We test each circuit after installation to confirm proper voltage and grounding, and we verify that all breakers respond correctly to test loads. The upgrade does not include rewiring circuits or replacing outlets unless specifically discussed, and we provide guidance if additional work is recommended to bring older wiring up to current standards.

Understanding Your Options Is Straightforward

Homeowners often ask about panel sizes, service capacity, and timing before scheduling an upgrade.

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
You likely need an upgrade if breakers trip frequently, your panel has fewer than twenty circuits, or you plan to add high-demand equipment such as an EV charger or air conditioning unit. We inspect your panel and discuss your current and future electrical needs during the evaluation.
What is the difference between a panel upgrade and a service change?
A panel upgrade replaces the panel and increases the number of circuits, while a service change increases the total amperage delivered to your home by upgrading the main service line and meter base. Some homes require both to support modern electrical loads safely.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most upgrades take four to eight hours, depending on the complexity of the existing wiring and whether a service change is included. We complete the work in one day, and your power is restored once the final inspection is approved.
Will I need to leave my home during the upgrade?
You can remain in your home, but power will be disconnected during the installation. We recommend planning for a few hours without electricity and unplugging sensitive electronics before we begin.
Can I add more circuits later if I need them?
Yes, a properly sized panel includes space for additional circuits, and we can install new breakers and wiring as your needs change. We label the panel clearly so future work is straightforward.
