TRS Electric has been handling electrical work across Oro Valley since 2012. We've handled everything from a flickering light to a full rewire, and we bring that same steady, practical approach to every job we take on. Whether you own a home, manage a rental property, or run a business, we show up ready to work and ready to answer your questions.
Work is performed by licensed electricians on every call, every time. Same-day electrical service is available when your situation can't wait. Flickering lights fixed. Dead outlets revived. Power back on.
When you call us, you talk to the people who actually show up.

From a single GFCI outlet to a whole-home rewire, we've seen it all, and the most common calls we get are the ones homeowners put off too long. A breaker that trips every few days. An outlet that stopped working. Lights that flicker when the AC kicks on. A faint burning smell near the panel.
These aren't minor annoyances. They're signs that something in the wiring or electrical system needs attention.
We diagnose the problem first, then explain what we found before any work begins. That includes checking GFCI and AFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and bedrooms, where code requires it and where older homes often fall short. Landlords and property managers can count on us to document what we find and get the unit back to a safe, rentable condition.
Same-day electrical service is available for situations that can't sit on a schedule.
We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that uncertainty is worth taking seriously. Oro Valley's established neighborhoods include homes built decades ago, and many of those panels were sized for a very different electrical life. Fewer appliances. No EV charger. No solar inverter. No whole-home surge protector.
We handle full panel replacements and service-entrance upgrades, including load calculations to make sure the new panel is sized for what you're actually running. Subpanel installation is available when a detached garage, workshop, or addition needs its own circuit supply.
Older wiring is another common job. Knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring can create real hazards as a home ages and loads increase. We assess what's there, explain the options, and rewire to current code.
Dedicated appliance circuits are a regular part of this work too. Electric ranges, dryers, hot tubs, and large refrigerators all need their own circuit, and we run them cleanly and to spec.
A workmanship guarantee covers every wiring job we complete. Leave the breakers to us.
We built this business around electrical work like this, the everyday jobs that make a home more functional and a property more valuable. New GFCI outlets in the kitchen, bathrooms, and garage. USB outlets at the desk or nightstand. Dimmer switches in the dining room or living area. These are quick wins that add up fast.
On the lighting side, we install recessed and LED fixtures throughout the home, including retrofits that replace older canned lights with modern, energy-efficient options. Ceiling fan wiring and installation is a popular job here, especially in rooms that rely on airflow to stay comfortable through a long Arizona summer.
Outdoor and landscape lighting is a natural fit for Oro Valley's outdoor living culture. Security lighting, pathway lights, and accent lighting for patios and covered entries are all work we handle. We also wire garages, sheds, and detached structures when you need power where it doesn't currently reach.
Call today and we'll get the power back where it belongs.
The electrical demands in this part of Arizona are specific. Summers are long and hot, air conditioning runs hard for months at a stretch, and the sun exposure here is among the best in the country for solar production. Homes in established neighborhoods are aging into load demands their original panels were never designed to meet. And EV ownership across the Tucson metro is growing steadily. The three services below come up constantly in this area, and we handle all three.
Older homes in Oro Valley's established neighborhoods often carry 100-amp or undersized panels that predate today's electrical demands. Add a solar array, an EV charger, and a whole-home surge protector to a panel that was already running close to capacity, and you have a real problem.
We perform service-entrance and meter upgrades, subpanel installations, and full load calculations to size the new panel correctly. Modern arc-fault and ground-fault breakers are part of every panel upgrade we install, improving safety at the source. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring sized for where your home is headed.
Pima County's sun exposure makes solar a practical investment for most homeowners here, and battery backup pairs naturally with a solar system for the outages that monsoon season occasionally brings.
Our scope is the electrical side of the work. We run the wiring, install the dedicated circuits, handle the disconnect work, confirm panel capacity, and connect the system to your home's electrical supply. We also recommend whole-home surge protection for solar-equipped homes, since inverters and battery systems are sensitive to voltage spikes.
EV adoption is growing across the Tucson metro, and Oro Valley homeowners are increasingly calling us to wire a Level 2 home charger before their new vehicle arrives. A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and the panel needs enough capacity to support it cleanly.
We check panel capacity first, run the dedicated circuit, and install the charger in the garage or on an exterior wall, whichever works better for your setup. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the load, we handle that too, so everything is done in one visit when possible.
Property managers trust us to keep their buildings powered and their tenants safe. That starts with knowing what the wiring actually looks like.
We perform pre-purchase and pre-sale electrical inspections, code-compliance checks for renovation permits, and rental property inspections that document the condition of the electrical system and identify anything that needs correction. Buyers, sellers, landlords, and real estate agents all use this service, and we turn around a clear, readable report.
Grounding and bonding issues show up regularly in older homes and are easy to overlook until something goes wrong. We check for them as part of any inspection.
Whole-home surge protection is a natural companion to a panel upgrade or a solar install. A single surge event from a monsoon storm or a utility fluctuation can damage appliances, electronics, and sensitive equipment throughout the home. A properly installed whole-home surge protector stops that at the panel.
We're one phone call from getting your power right.
From a single GFCI outlet to a full commercial rewire, we've handled the full range of what homeowners, property managers, and business owners need.
For homeowners, that means repairs, upgrades, and new installations handled cleanly and on schedule. For landlords and property managers, it means responsive service, clear documentation, and work that holds up between tenants.
For small businesses, offices, and retail spaces, we handle new construction wiring, tenant-improvement circuits, dedicated circuits for equipment, and lighting upgrades that improve the workspace. Remodels and additions are a regular part of our commercial work too.
Backup generator hookup and transfer switch installation is a service we offer for businesses that need to stay operational when the grid goes down. We wire the connection and install the transfer switch; keeping the lights and systems on during an outage is the goal.
Pool and spa wiring, RV hookups, outdoor misting-system circuits, and detached structure wiring round out the specialty work we handle across residential and commercial properties in the area.
No job is too small to schedule, and no quote comes with pressure to commit on the spot. We give you a clear number before work begins, so there are no surprises when the job is done.
Availability is flexible. We work around your schedule and keep same-day slots open for situations that need attention now. Small repairs get the same attention as full rewires. If you need an outlet replaced or a ceiling fan swapped out, that call is welcome here.
Call in the morning. Powered by afternoon. Follow-up when you need it.
Call (520) 462-6595 to request an estimate.
We work throughout Oro Valley and the surrounding communities in Pima County. That includes Tucson, Marana, Catalina, Saddlebrooke, Casas Adobes, Flowing Wells, Tanque Verde, and Sahuarita. If you're in the Tucson metro and need a local electrician, we're close by and ready to schedule.
Panel upgrades, EV charger installation, and solar-related electrical work come up constantly in this area. The combination of long, hot summers, strong solar production, and growing EV ownership in the Tucson metro drives demand for all three. We also stay busy with everyday repairs, outlet work, and lighting upgrades across the city.
A breaker that trips occasionally under a heavy load is doing its job. One that trips repeatedly on a normal circuit, or that will not stay reset, usually points to an overloaded circuit, a wiring fault, or a failing breaker. We trace the cause during the visit and explain what we find before any work begins.
A panel upgrade starts with a load calculation to determine whether your current service can handle what you are running. If it cannot, we replace the panel, upgrade the service entrance if needed, and install modern arc-fault and ground-fault breakers as part of the job. Homes in Oro Valley's established neighborhoods often need this work once they add an EV charger, solar system, or high-draw appliances.
A Level 2 home charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and enough available capacity in your panel to support it. We check the panel first, run the circuit to the right location in your garage or on an exterior wall, and install the outlet or hardwired connection your charger needs. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the load, we handle that at the same time when possible.
Our scope on a solar or battery project covers the electrical infrastructure: running dedicated circuits, sizing and upgrading the panel to carry the added load, installing the disconnect and interconnection wiring, and making sure everything passes inspection. We do not install the solar panels or storage equipment itself, but the electrical side has to be done correctly for the whole system to work safely.
A whole-home surge protector installs at the panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your outlets and devices. Arizona's monsoon season brings fast, heavy storms and the power surges that come with them, making this one of the more practical upgrades for homes in Pima County. It protects every appliance and piece of electronics in the house from a single installation point.
A transfer switch disconnects your home from the utility grid before connecting your generator, which prevents backfeed that could injure utility workers or damage your equipment. We install the transfer switch and wire the connection between the generator and your panel. You choose the generator; we handle the hookup so it is safe and code-compliant.
We start with a real assessment of the symptom, trace it to the source, and explain what we found before any work begins. Once you approve the scope, we complete the work, test everything, and do a safety check of the work area before we leave. You get a clear picture of what was done and why.
It depends on the job. Outlet replacements, panel work, and rewiring typically require shutting off the affected circuit or the main service for part of the visit. We let you know ahead of time what to expect so you can plan around it. We work efficiently and restore power as soon as the work is safe to energize.
Flickering lights, outlets that feel warm to the touch, a burning smell near switches or the panel, breakers that trip frequently, and two-prong outlets throughout the home are all signs worth taking seriously. Aluminum branch wiring and knob-and-tube systems also present risks as a home ages and electrical loads increase. An electrical safety inspection is the right starting point if you are seeing any of these.
We check the panel condition, grounding and bonding, GFCI and AFCI protection in required areas, the condition of visible wiring, and any circuits or fixtures that show signs of wear or improper installation. The result is a clear report of what needs attention and what is in good shape. Buyers, sellers, landlords, and property managers all use this service before a transaction or between tenants.

| Electrical Service | What It Covers | Ideal For | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| homeowners with electronics, appliances, or solar systems they want to protect | Arizona's monsoon season brings frequent lightning and power fluctuations. A panel-mounted surge protector is the most effective first line of defense. |
| RV Hookups |
| homeowners who park an RV or trailer at home and need a proper hookup | A proper RV outlet protects your vehicle's electrical system and eliminates the need for extension cords, which are not a safe long-term solution. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation |
| older homes, additions, renovations, and finished spaces | Aluminum wiring and knob-and-tube systems are common in older Tucson-area homes. We assess the condition and recommend the right remediation approach. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| buyers, landlords, and property managers who need to know the condition of a building's wiring | Work performed by licensed electricians means the inspection report reflects a professional assessment, not a visual-only walkthrough. |
| Solar & Battery Installation |
| homeowners adding solar or battery storage to an existing home | We handle the electrical infrastructure behind a solar system. The panel, circuits, and interconnection wiring have to be right for the whole setup to perform safely. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| homeowners and tenants with an active electrical problem | Same-day service is available for most repairs, so you are not left waiting with a live problem. |
| Electrical Panel UpgradesMost Popular |
| homes with aging panels that cannot keep up with today's electrical loads | Oro Valley's long air-conditioning season puts a sustained load on older panels. We size the new panel for current use and future additions. |
| Outdoor & Misting-System Circuits |
| homeowners adding outdoor living features or a misting system | Misting systems require a dedicated circuit with proper GFCI protection. We run the circuit and install the outlet so the setup is safe and code-compliant. |
| Lighting Installation |
| homeowners upgrading indoor lighting or adding outdoor fixtures | Outdoor fixtures in Oro Valley take a beating from UV exposure and heat. We use weatherproof materials rated for the desert climate. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| homeowners adding outlets or bringing older wiring up to current code | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. We handle the installation and inspection. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| homeowners adding high-draw appliances or finishing a workspace | High-draw appliances need their own breaker. Running a dedicated circuit prevents nuisance trips and protects the appliance. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| homes with breakers that trip repeatedly or fail to reset | A breaker that trips repeatedly is a warning sign, not just an inconvenience. We trace the cause before replacing parts. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| homeowners adding or replacing ceiling fans in any room | If there is no existing wiring at the location, we run a new circuit so the fan is installed correctly from the start. |
| EV Charger Installation |
| EV owners who want a Level 2 home charger installed correctly | If your panel does not have the capacity for a 240-volt circuit, we handle the upgrade at the same time so everything is sized right. |
How do I know if my panel needs to be upgraded?
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, lights that dim when large appliances kick on, or a panel that is simply too small for the circuits you are running. Older homes in the area that were built with 100-amp service often cannot handle the sustained load of modern air conditioning, solar systems, and EV chargers. We assess your panel, run a load calculation, and tell you plainly whether an upgrade makes sense.
What causes a breaker to keep tripping?
A breaker that trips repeatedly is usually telling you one of three things: the circuit is overloaded, there is a short somewhere in the wiring, or the breaker itself has worn out. Resetting it without diagnosing the cause is not a fix. We trace the problem to its source, explain what we found, and correct it before we leave.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected to code?
Yes. Permitted work is required for most panel upgrades, service changes, new circuits, and rewiring projects. We pull the necessary permits and coordinate the inspection so the work is documented and code-compliant. That matters when you sell the home or file an insurance claim.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We keep same-day appointments available for repairs and urgent situations. You should not have to wait days to get a live electrical problem resolved.
What does flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flickers when a large appliance starts up can be normal, but persistent flickering or lights that dim regularly often point to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a panel that is struggling to deliver consistent voltage. It is worth having us take a look before the problem gets worse.
Is older wiring in my home safe?
It depends on the type and condition. Aluminum wiring and knob-and-tube systems were common in homes built before the 1970s, and both require a professional assessment. They are not automatically unsafe, but they do need to be evaluated and, in many cases, updated or remediated. We inspect the wiring, explain what we find, and recommend the right approach for your home.
What do I need for a Level 2 EV charger at home?
A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which means we need to run a new circuit from your panel to the charger location, typically in the garage. We also check whether your panel has the available capacity to support the load. If it does not, we handle the panel upgrade at the same time. The result is a charger that is wired correctly, inspected, and ready to use every night.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We assess the job, give you a clear number, and nothing gets added after the fact without your approval. The price you agree to is the price on the invoice.
Do I need to be home when the electrician arrives?
Someone should be available to provide access to the panel and the work area. If you cannot be there yourself, another adult can let us in. Let us know when you schedule and we will work out the details so the visit goes smoothly.
How does pricing work and will the quote change?
We assess the job first, then give you a clear number before any work begins. We aim to give you a firm quote based on what we find. If something unexpected turns up once we are in the wall or at the panel, we stop, explain it, and get your approval before moving forward. You are never looking at a higher bill than what you agreed to.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job, from a single outlet to a full panel upgrade, is handled by licensed electricians. The work meets code, and we stand behind it with a workmanship guarantee.
Is surge protection worth it for an Oro Valley home?
We think so, especially here. Arizona's monsoon season brings frequent lightning strikes and power fluctuations that can damage electronics, appliances, and solar equipment. A panel-mounted whole-home surge protector is the most cost-effective way to protect everything on your circuits at once, rather than relying on individual power strips.
When should I call an electrician instead of handling it myself?
Replacing a lightbulb or a cover plate is fine to do yourself. Anything that involves the wiring inside a wall, the breaker panel, a new circuit, or an outlet that has stopped working for no obvious reason is work for a licensed electrician. Electrical mistakes do not always show up immediately, but they can cause fires or shocks later. We are one phone call from getting your power right.
Is same-day electrical service available?
Yes. Same-day service is available for most repairs and urgent situations. If you call in the morning, we can often have someone at your door the same day. Call us to check availability and get on the schedule.
Every job is different, and the best way to know what yours involves is to call us directly. We will ask a few questions, give you a straight answer, and get you on the schedule.
