Some electrical problems announce themselves. A breaker trips, a fixture goes dark, an outlet stops working mid-task. Those calls come in right away. The ones that matter just as much are the ones that do not announce themselves at all: wiring that has quietly degraded over years, a panel that has been running at its limit without complaint, connections that have loosened inside a wall without ever causing a visible problem. In a city the size of Catalina Foothills, where homes range from older established properties to newer builds carrying heavier modern loads, both kinds of problems come up regularly.
We cover all of it. Repairs and troubleshooting, panel and service upgrades, wiring and circuit installation, lighting, ceiling fans, EV charger hookups, surge protection, and generator hookups. We are open every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and electrical service is scheduled without the runaround.

There is almost always one. An outlet in the garage, a switch in the hallway that sparks when you use it, an exterior light that has been dark for a season. These jobs feel minor until they are not. A sparking switch is a sign of a loose or failing connection, and a connection that fails intermittently can cause more damage than one that fails completely, because it is harder to trace and easier to ignore.
The fault is traced before anything is replaced. That is how a repair stays focused on what actually needs doing rather than becoming a parts swap that leaves the underlying problem in place. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, so you know what was found and what was done.
An exterior light that nobody has gotten around to replacing is easy to defer. But outdoor wiring takes more wear than indoor wiring, and a fixture that has been exposed to years of desert heat and monsoon moisture is worth having checked rather than assumed to be fine. Exterior outlets, security lighting, and motion-sensor fixtures are all jobs we handle. If the circuit serving them has an issue, we trace it and address it at the same time.
Adding a circuit is often simpler than people expect. A call to talk through what you need is enough to get started, and we can scope the job before anything is scheduled.
The price on any electrical job depends on three things: what the fault turns out to be, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing circuit or panel can carry the change. A straightforward outlet replacement and a wiring fault traced through a finished wall are different jobs even when the symptom looks the same from the outside. We do not quote a flat rate before we know what the work involves, because a number that does not reflect the actual scope is not useful to either party.
What changes a quote: the condition of the existing wiring, whether the panel has available capacity, whether the circuit needs to be run from scratch or can be extended from an existing one, and whether the work requires opening walls or can be done at the device. We work through those questions on the call so the price you get reflects the job you actually need.
Call (520) 462-6595 and describe what you are dealing with.
You do not need a diagnosis ready, only a description of the symptom. Someone who knows the trade answers the call and can scope the job on the phone. The price is confirmed before we schedule, and you are told what it covers. Plain answers. Clear options. Safe wiring.
Not every electrical problem can wait for a convenient window. A dead panel circuit, a sparking outlet, or a wiring fault that cuts power to part of the home needs attention quickly. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and short-notice work is taken seriously. Emergency calls are answered during those hours, and we work out the fastest available option on the call.
Rental properties and commercial spaces in Catalina Foothills have their own scheduling constraints. A tenant needs access, a business cannot close the floor for a repair that could be handled in a back room, and a property manager needs confirmation of what was done before closing the work order. We work around those constraints. The scope and the price are settled on the call, and we confirm what access is needed before we arrive. Property managers who need electrical work handled across multiple units call us the same way any homeowner does.
A home that was wired for a simpler electrical load runs into limits when the demands on it change. Adding an EV charger, tying in a solar system with battery storage, or running a high-draw appliance on a circuit that was not sized for it all put pressure on a panel that may not have the capacity to carry the change safely.
We start with a load calculation before recommending a panel upgrade. That tells us what the existing service is actually carrying, what the new configuration requires, and whether a subpanel addition or a full service upgrade is the right answer. In this part of Arizona, where air conditioning runs continuously through a long summer and solar adoption is high, that calculation is worth doing carefully.
A 200-amp service upgrade gives most homes the capacity to carry modern loads cleanly. Where the main panel is already at capacity and a second distribution point makes more sense than a full replacement, a subpanel installation is the answer. For properties adding solar or battery storage, the electrical connection to the home's existing wiring is what we handle: the dedicated circuits, the subpanel work, and any service upgrade the system requires. The equipment itself is outside our scope, but the wiring infrastructure behind it is exactly what we do.
EV charger installation follows the same pattern. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and the panel has to have the capacity to support it. We assess the panel, run the circuit, and complete the connection. If an upgrade is needed first, we scope that on the same call.
Smart switches and dimmers are not direct replacements for standard switches. The wiring at the box has to support the device, neutral wire availability varies by age of the home, and multi-location setups require the right configuration at each switch. We handle the wiring side so the device works the way it is supposed to.
Older homes in the Catalina Foothills area sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring in place. The system was adequate for the loads it was designed to carry, but it was not designed for today's electrical demand, and it lacks the grounding that modern circuits require. Replacement is often done in sections during a remodel or as a standalone project when an inspection flags the issue. We assess what is in place and explain the options before any work begins.
High-draw workshop equipment needs its own dedicated circuit. A welder or air compressor pulling from a shared circuit will trip breakers, and running it that way long-term creates a real wiring problem. We size the circuit to the equipment, confirm the panel can carry the load, and run the circuit to the right location in the garage or workshop. We trace the fault. We fix the wiring. We restore the power.
Hardwired detectors need the right junction box, the right circuit, and, where multiple units are connected, wiring that lets the whole system communicate. Aging detectors that have reached the end of their rated life should be replaced, not just tested. We handle installation and replacement and confirm the system is working correctly before we leave.
We also handle recessed and LED lighting installation, ceiling fan installation, backup generator hookups and transfer switch wiring, and whole-home surge protection. A surge protector installed at the panel guards every circuit in the home against voltage spikes, which matters in a region where monsoon season brings real lightning activity.
We serve Catalina Foothills and the surrounding area throughout Pima County. That includes Casas Adobes, Tanque Verde, Flowing Wells, Kleindale, and South Tucson. If your property is in any of these communities, call us and we will confirm coverage when you schedule.
We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. The range of work covered is explained on our electrical service list.
Call (520) 462-6595 and we will work out what you need and when we can be there.
In most cases, yes. We stage the work so that some circuits remain live while others are being replaced, which allows the property to stay occupied. There will be periods when specific areas are without power, and we coordinate the schedule around that.
We flag it, explain what the concern is, and give you the options. Some older wiring can be left in place with targeted corrections. Other situations call for replacement. The decision is yours, and we do not push work that is not genuinely needed.
Yes. We serve Casas Adobes, Tanque Verde, Flowing Wells, Kleindale, South Tucson, and the surrounding Pima County area.

The most common calls involve outlets that have stopped working, breakers that trip under normal loads, and lighting circuits that behave inconsistently. Older homes in the area also generate calls about wiring that has not been updated to match current electrical demands. Each situation starts with a diagnosis to find the actual cause before any repair is recommended.
It depends on what the panel is currently carrying and how much capacity it has available. We start with a panel assessment before scheduling the charger installation. If the existing service can support the added circuit, we run the circuit and complete the connection. If it cannot, we explain the upgrade options and scope that work on the same call.
Access is a matter between the landlord and the tenant. We schedule the visit for when access is confirmed and do not show up without it. If access falls through on the day, we reschedule and confirm the new window before returning.
Yes. If you want to talk through what your system needs and prioritize the work before committing to a schedule, that is a reasonable conversation to have on the call. We can scope the situation and explain the options without booking anything until you are ready.
When electrical work is left until other trades have finished, it can mean opening up walls or ceilings that have already been closed, which adds time and cost. Calling us early in a renovation lets us rough in the wiring before drywall goes up and avoids that rework.
When a job is done right, you do not think about it again. We trace the fault, complete the repair, and leave the space clean. We are open every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
Call (520) 462-6595, describe what you are dealing with, and we will walk through the scope and the rate before anything is scheduled. We make the fix and leave it tidy.
