Electrical panel upgrades in Phoenix, AZ
A panel installed for a 1970s house is running a 2020s load: two AC units, an induction range, a car in the driveway. We upsize the service, pull the permit and get it inspected.

Questions
Panel upgrades & replacement — your questions answered
How long will my power be off?
Four to six hours on a standard changeout. We schedule the utility disconnect first thing so the house is back on the same day.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, and we pull it. A panel replaced without a permit and inspection is a problem when you sell, and some insurers will not cover it.
Is a Federal Pacific panel really dangerous?
Stab-Lok breakers have a documented history of failing to trip under load. We will not add circuits to one — we replace it.

Reviews
What people say about our panel upgrades & replacement
Lost power to half the house at 9pm on a Sunday with a newborn in the house. A real person answered, gave me a price on the phone, and Marcus was here in an hour. Found a failed breaker and a scorched neutral. Fixed it that night for exactly what he quoted.
Three companies quoted the charger. Two said I needed a full panel upgrade for another $3k. Brightwire ran the load calc, showed me the numbers, and fitted a load-management device instead. Saved me most of the cost and told me exactly why.
Federal Pacific panel flagged on our home inspection two days before closing. They pulled the permit, did the changeout, and got the inspection signed off inside a week. Power was back on before dinner.
