Question 1

What should I do if I have a complete power outage?

Accepted Answer

First, check if your neighbors have power. If they do, the problem is in your home. Check your breaker panel—a tripped breaker might be the issue. If you see a breaker in the 'off' position, switch it back to 'on.' If the breaker immediately trips again, there's a serious problem. Call 877-766-0892 right away.

Question 2

Why are my outlets sparking or feeling warm?

Accepted Answer

Sparking, buzzing, or warm outlets are major fire hazards that need immediate attention. This usually indicates loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or internal damage. Stop using the outlet immediately and call us. Ignoring these signs can lead to electrical fires.

Question 3

How much does it cost to install an EV charger in Scottsdale?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on your home's current electrical capacity and the distance from your panel to the garage. A standard installation might range from $500 to $1,500+, but if a panel upgrade is required (common in older homes), the cost will be higher. We provide clear, upfront quotes before starting any work.

Question 4

Why do my lights flicker when the AC turns on?

Accepted Answer

This is a common issue in Arizona. It often means your electrical panel is struggling to handle the heavy load of the AC compressor starting up. It could indicate a loose neutral wire or an overloaded circuit. We can perform a load calculation to see if a panel upgrade or a 'hard start kit' for your AC is needed.

Question 5

How much does a main breaker panel upgrade cost?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading to a 200-amp panel typically costs between $2,500 and $4,500, depending on the complexity of the job and permit fees. This is a crucial investment for older Scottsdale homes, ensuring safety and the ability to add modern appliances like hot tubs or EV chargers.

Question 6

Is 24/7 emergency service really available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our network provides true 24/7 emergency electrical service throughout Scottsdale. Whether it's 2 AM on a Sunday or a holiday, call 877-766-0892 and we'll dispatch a licensed electrician to help you.

Question 7

Do I need a permit for a ceiling fan installation?

Accepted Answer

Replacing an existing fan usually doesn't require a permit, but running new wiring for a fan where there wasn't one before often does. Our electricians handle all necessary permits and ensure the fan box is properly braced to support the weight and movement of the fan.

Question 8

What is the difference between a GFCI and a regular outlet?

Accepted Answer

GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are designed to prevent shock in wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and patios. They cut power instantly if they detect a fault. Building code requires them in these areas. If yours keep tripping, it could mean a ground fault or a failing outlet that needs replacement.
