If no spikes, can I re-pot a phal now???

I am in the process of setting up an orchid room in my house. I have purchased T5 lights, drainage trays, and lots of plastic pots. I currently have healthy phals growing roots and leaves (altho they have slowed down in the past month) and I do not believe I will be getting any spikes. They simply are not getting adequate light where they are.

My question is this: Assuming that I will not be getting flowers this year, is it okay to re-pot all of my phals into plastic pots now, even tho it is 'blooming season??' I'm pretty sure it will be okay, but wanted to make sure I didn't disrupt their natural growth cycle by disturbing them now. Is there any other process going on this time of year I should be concerned about???

Thanks in advance everyone!!!
