Electrical Panel Upgrade in Summerlin, Henderson NV
Many Henderson homes built before 2000 have 100-amp or 125-amp electrical panels that can't safely support a Level 2 EV charger. Our licensed electricians upgrade your panel to 200 amps, giving you the capacity you need for EV charging and future electrical demands. We serve homeowners throughout Summerlin, Las Vegas, NV, handling the full City of Henderson permit process and delivering a clean, code-compliant install backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Why Summerlin homeowners choose us for electrical panel upgrade
Summerlin is one of the country's largest and most successful master-planned communities, anchoring the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley against the Red Rock Canyon escarpment. With high household incomes, luxury custom homes in The Ridges and Red Rock Country Club, family-oriented neighborhoods in The Mesa and The Trails, and the 55+ Sun City Summerlin community, Summerlin has one of the highest EV ownership rates in the Las Vegas metro. Most Summerlin garages are three- or four-car with modern 200-amp panels, making Level 2 EV charger installs straightforward — though Summerlin sits roughly 25 miles from Henderson on the opposite side of the valley, so we treat it as a premium-drive service area outside our core Henderson coverage.
About Electrical Panel Upgrade
An electrical panel upgrade replaces your home's main breaker panel with a higher-capacity unit, typically from 100 or 125 amps to 200 amps. This provides enough electrical capacity to run your existing appliances, HVAC, and a Level 2 EV charger (which draws 40-50 amps) without overloading your system. The upgrade includes a new panel box, main breaker, branch circuit breakers, and often a new meter base.

Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQs for Summerlin
Do you install EV chargers in Summerlin?
Yes. Summerlin sits approximately 25 miles from our Henderson base, on the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley, which puts it just outside our core service radius. We treat Summerlin as a premium-drive service area — we'll happily schedule installs there, with a small travel allowance built into the quote to cover the drive. Call (838) 205-8397 for a Summerlin-specific estimate.
Which Summerlin neighborhoods do you serve?
All of them — The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club, The Mesa, Sun City Summerlin, The Trails, Summerlin South, Summerlin West, Summerlin Centre, and the surrounding villages. Summerlin ZIP codes we cover include 89134, 89135, 89138, 89144, 89145, and 89149.
How much does EV charger installation cost in Summerlin?
Most Summerlin homes are newer construction with 200-amp panels, so installs typically run $600 to $1,400 for a hardwired 48-amp Level 2 charger. Custom homes in The Ridges or Red Rock Country Club with longer panel-to-garage runs or detached structures may run $1,200 to $2,500. We add a small travel allowance for Summerlin jobs to cover the drive from Henderson.
Do I need a permit for an EV charger in Summerlin?
Yes. Summerlin is within the City of Las Vegas (with portions in Clark County), so permits go through the City of Las Vegas Department of Building & Safety or the Clark County Department of Building and Fire Prevention depending on your exact address. We handle the full permit process — application, inspection scheduling, and final sign-off. Approval typically takes 2 to 5 business days.
Will my Summerlin HOA approve an EV charger?
Yes. Nevada law NRS 111.239 prohibits HOAs from banning EV charger installations outright. The Summerlin master association and sub-association HOAs (The Ridges, Red Rock Country Club, Sun City Summerlin, etc.) may have aesthetic guidelines for exterior conduit routing or charger placement, but they cannot block the installation. We work regularly with Summerlin HOAs to coordinate compliant installs.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
If your panel is 100 amps or less, or if you have fewer than 4 open breaker spaces, you likely need an upgrade for a Level 2 EV charger. We determine this during the free assessment.
Will my power be off all day?
Yes, for most of the day (6-8 hours). We coordinate the outage with NV Energy and schedule it on a day that works for you.
Can I get the panel upgrade and EV charger installed at the same time?
Absolutely. We frequently bundle both projects into a single-day installation, which saves you money on labor and gets everything done in one visit.
