Electrical Company Tucson AZ | Call Barcelo Electric

Yes, electrical meter overheating can be a concern in Tucson, especially during our intense summer heat, which can exacerbate existing connection issues. This is a serious safety hazard. As a licensed contractor, we recommend turning off non-essential circuits if safe to do so and calling us immediately. Our emergency team can inspect the meter base, main connections, and panel for corrosion or loose wiring that creates resistance and heat. We'll perform the necessary repairs or coordinate with your utility provider to ensure your home's electrical intake is safe and reliable.

Our electrical inspections are thorough safety evaluations tailored for local homes. We check your main service panel for proper capacity and secure connections, inspect wiring for damage or outdated materials, test GFCIs and AFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, and other required areas, and ensure all outlets and switches are functioning safely. Given local issues like rodent damage, we pay special attention to wiring in attics, crawl spaces, and garages for signs of chewing. The inspection concludes with a detailed report outlining any concerns, recommended repairs prioritized by safety, and solutions to bring your system up to current National Electrical Code standards.
