A commercial contractor’s standards on a house
We are not the cheapest electrician in Tucson and we do not try to be. What you get instead is the way we build for hospitals and warehouses, applied to your panel.
Licensed electrical contractor
Active, bonded and insured, verifiable on the Arizona Registrar of Contractors site. Every job is permitted with your jurisdiction and inspected. See credentials.
Licensed for the AC too
The most common reason a Tucson home needs a bigger service is a new air conditioner. We hold the mechanical licence as well, so the panel, the circuit and the equipment are one contract.
The company that quotes does the work
No dispatched subcontractor. The electricians on your job are our employees, and the 64-photo gallery is their work on real Tucson homes.
We will tell you when you don’t need it
A load calculation on your actual usage decides whether the service is undersized. Homes that look short on paper often are not, and we would rather run the numbers and say no than sell an upgrade.
Straight Answer
What we are not
We are not a 24-hour emergency electrician and we do not chase a single dead outlet, a ceiling fan or a tripping breaker. Our residential work is scheduled, permitted, inspected jobs. If your problem turns out to be the panel, the wiring, or a circuit for new equipment, that is exactly what we do — and we will tell you honestly if it is something smaller that another electrician should handle.

FAQ
Residential electrician questions, answered
Are you a residential electrician or a commercial one?
Both, with a clear line between them. Most of our work is commercial and industrial construction. For homes we take on the permitted, inspected jobs a house needs a licensed contractor for — panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, AC and heat-pump replacement, casita and addition electrical, rewiring, and standby generators. The same licensed electricians do both; the residential side is scheduled work, not an emergency truck.
Do you handle small electrical repairs or emergencies?
No. We are not a 24-hour dispatcher and we do not chase a single dead outlet or a tripping breaker. If your problem turns out to be a panel, a circuit for new equipment, or old wiring, that is exactly the work we do, and we will scope it properly and quote it.
How much does residential electrical work cost in Tucson?
We would rather show you than tell you. The panel upgrade cost calculator prices a service upgrade or an AC change-out for your address; the residential estimator gives a budget range for an EV charger, a panel job or a relocation from your ZIP and a photo. Both are free and neither asks for your details unless you want photos read. A bid needs eyes on the equipment.
Do you pull permits?
Always. Every job on this page is permitted and inspected in the City of Tucson, Pima County, Marana, Oro Valley or Sahuarita, and the utility disconnect is coordinated with Tucson Electric Power or Trico where the service is involved. Unpermitted electrical work is the thing that surfaces when you sell; you can see your own address’s record with the free property lookup.
Who actually does the work?
Our own electricians. The company that quotes the job does the job — that is how we run commercial projects and it does not change because the address is a house. Arizona Electrical Solutions holds ROC 276948 (CR-11 electrical) and ROC 326401 (CR-39 air conditioning and refrigeration), both verifiable on the Registrar of Contractors site.
Do you do the AC and the electrical, or just one?
Both, in house. The most common reason a Tucson home needs more electrical service is a new air conditioner or heat pump, and that job normally involves two companies. We hold the mechanical licence and the electrical licence, so the equipment, the circuit and the permit are one contract with one contractor responsible.
What areas do you cover for residential work?
Tucson and the metro area: the City of Tucson, unincorporated Pima County, Marana, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, Vail, Catalina Foothills and Green Valley. The jurisdiction changes the permitting and the fee schedule, not whether we can do the work.
Can I see work you have done?
Yes. Our panel upgrade gallery has 64 photographs of our own crews’ finished service work on Tucson-area homes — no stock images. A selection is on this page.
Price it first, then talk to us
Run your address through the cost calculator or the estimator. If the range makes sense, send us the result and a photo of your panel, and we will scope the job properly.
