Something usually tips the decision. A breaker that has tripped three times this week. An outlet that stopped working and nobody knows why. A ceiling fan that hums instead of spinning. Most people in Catalina put up with a wiring problem longer than they should, and then one day it gets worse or a new project makes the old issue impossible to ignore. That is when we get the call, and it is exactly what we are set up to handle.
We cover the full range of residential and commercial electrical work across Catalina and the surrounding area. Repairs and troubleshooting, panel upgrades, wiring and circuit installation, EV charger hookups, surge protection, and more.
Call (520) 462-6595 for a quote. We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
A lot of electrical work in a home is not in a convenient place. Wiring runs through attic space, junction boxes sit above insulation, and the circuits that feed a room addition or a detached outbuilding may pass through a crawl space that has not been opened in years. We plan for that before we arrive. The access point, the clearance, and what needs to be moved or protected are all covered in the scope conversation before anything is scheduled.
In properties with high or vaulted ceilings, fixture and fan installation takes more than a standard ladder. We confirm what the job physically requires when we talk through the scope on the call, so the visit is set up to go smoothly from the start.
Homes in this part of the county were built across a wide range of eras, and the wiring inside the walls reflects that. Knob-and-tube systems, aluminum branch circuits, and runs that were added by previous owners without documentation are all things we find and work with. Before anything is opened up, we establish what is there and what the correction involves. That keeps the repair focused and avoids pulling apart more than the job requires.
Whether this is your first repair or your tenth, the process for getting on the schedule is the same. You call, describe what you are seeing, and we scope the job on the phone. The price is confirmed before anything is booked, and you are told what it covers. If a tenant is in the property or a business has to stay open while the work happens, we talk through what needs to stay live and plan the visit around it.
Some problems do not wait for a convenient time. A dead circuit in a kitchen, an outlet that is warm to the touch, a panel that is making noise it was not making yesterday. These are calls we take seriously and move on quickly when the schedule allows.
Call (520) 462-6595 and describe the situation, and we will work out the fastest available option.
This is a local operation, and every customer matters. When you reach us, you are reaching someone who knows the trade and can talk through what you are dealing with before anything is scheduled.
The price for electrical work is tied to what the job actually involves. A straightforward outlet replacement and a whole-home rewiring project are both electrical work, but the scope of each is entirely different. The things that move a quote are the fault itself, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing circuit or panel can carry the change being made.
For panel upgrades, a load calculation is part of the scoping process. The panel has to be sized for what the home currently draws and what it will draw after the upgrade, including any solar system, EV charger, or added circuits. For repairs, the fault is traced before anything is replaced, which keeps the cost tied to what actually needs doing rather than what might need doing.
You get the rate on the phone. The scope is confirmed before we schedule, and you are told what it covers. If the situation turns out to be different from what was described on the call, we explain why before any work beyond the original scope begins. Ask what the rate includes and you get a straight answer.
Call (520) 462-6595 to get started.
When a kitchen is being extended, a garage is being converted, or a new room is going on the back of the house, the electrician has a specific place in the sequence. Rough-in wiring has to happen after framing and before drywall. Panel capacity has to be confirmed before a new circuit is committed to the plan. If the electrical work is scheduled too late, other trades end up waiting or walls end up open again.
We work with homeowners and contractors who are coordinating multiple trades on the same project. The scope and the sequence are part of the planning conversation. If a load calculation is needed to confirm the panel can carry the new circuits, we run that early so it does not hold up the rest of the build. Panel and wiring work finished to code is what goes into the wall, and that matters when an inspection follows.
In many Catalina properties, the main panel sits in the garage or in a utility area that doubles as storage. Access to the panel is the first thing we confirm when scheduling a panel-related job. A panel that is blocked by stored equipment or finished off with drywall that was added after the original installation takes longer to reach, and that affects the scope.
Knowing what is around the panel before we arrive means the visit goes faster. Clear a path to the panel if you can, and let us know on the call if there is anything unusual about the location or the access. For subpanel work in a detached garage or outbuilding, the same applies: the route the circuit takes from the main panel to the structure is part of what we scope before we show up.
Wiring a home right takes the right tools and a careful hand, and the jobs below are the ones that come up regularly in properties like those found across Catalina and the surrounding area. Each one starts with a clear scope conversation so you know what the job involves before anything is scheduled.
A detached garage or workshop that runs power tools, lighting, and a compressor needs more than a single circuit run from the house. A subpanel fed from the main panel gives the space its own breaker distribution, handles the load properly, and avoids the nuisance tripping that comes from overloading a shared circuit. We assess the main panel capacity, run the feeder, and install the subpanel sized for what the space will actually draw.
Ungrounded outlets and missing bonding connections are common findings in older properties. They do not always announce themselves with a visible symptom, which is why they often surface during a safety inspection or a pre-sale review. We identify what is missing, explain the correction, and bring the affected circuits into compliance. GFCI protection is one code-compliant method for addressing ungrounded outlets where running a new ground wire is not practical.
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit. The visit starts with a panel assessment to confirm available capacity, then moves to running the circuit to the garage or driveway location. As more households in the region add an electric vehicle, home charging has become one of the more common circuit additions we handle. If the panel needs upgrading to support the added load, we scope that on the same call.
Battery-operated detectors work, but hardwired alarms with battery backup are the more reliable long-term solution. They stay active during a power interruption and, when wired together, sound throughout the house when one unit triggers. We install them in the locations required by current code, wire the interconnect, and confirm the system functions correctly before we leave.
We serve Catalina and the communities nearby throughout Pima County. That includes Saddlebrooke, Oracle, Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, and Oro Valley.

We are available every day from 6:00 AM to 9:30 PM. There is more on the page that lists our electrical services.
A service upgrade that changes the size of the incoming supply requires coordination with the utility. We handle the electrical work on the property side and communicate with the utility about the service change. The utility controls the meter and the line to the street, and their timeline is part of the scheduling conversation.
Yes. We run supply circuits to detached garages, workshops, sheds, and other outbuildings, and we wire the interior circuits and subpanel as part of the same job.
Sometimes. If a fixture is mounted at a height that a standard ladder cannot safely reach, we confirm that when scoping the job on the call.
It depends on how much of the property is in scope and how the work is staged. We confirm the expected duration when scoping the job, and we work to keep the disruption contained to the area being rewired while the rest of the property stays live.
Older properties in this part of Pima County tend to surface a predictable set of issues: ungrounded outlets, panels that have not been updated to match current loads, and wiring that was added over the years without documentation. Knob-and-tube systems and aluminum branch circuits also come up in homes built before modern wiring standards were common. An electrical safety inspection is the clearest way to find out what the existing system has and what it is missing.
We confirm the access method, the scope, and the contact for any questions that come up during the visit before we schedule. Empty properties are handled the same way as occupied ones from a scoping and pricing standpoint.
Yes. We serve Catalina and the surrounding communities in Pima County, including Saddlebrooke, Oracle, Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, and Oro Valley.
If you manage properties across more than one of these towns or need work done at multiple locations, call (520) 462-6595 and we will work through the scheduling on the call.
The wiring work itself is similar, but access and scheduling are different. In a multi-unit building, the panel may serve multiple units, shutting off power to one area can affect others, and access to common electrical infrastructure may require coordination with building management. We account for that when scoping the job.
Whatever it was that made you read this far, we handle it. Plain answers. Clear options. Safe wiring.
