Fan Doctor Electric: Phoenix's Trusted Electrical & Lighting Expert Since 1981

For over four decades, Fan Doctor Electric has served as a foundational electrical contractor within the Phoenix metropolitan area. Operating from its North Phoenix showroom and headquarters, the business provides a comprehensive range of licensed electrical services to residential clients, blending deep historical expertise with modern solutions.

Key Electrical Services for Phoenix Homes

Fan Doctor Electric’s services are tailored to the demands of Valley homes. The team specializes in electrical panel installation and repair, a critical service for older homes in areas like Arcadia or Encanto that may have outdated Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels unable to handle modern cooling loads. Their wire installation and repair services address common issues found in the tract homes of Chandler, Gilbert, and Queen Creek, where aging wiring can be a concern. The company is also highly proficient in outlet installation and repair, including the specialized GFCI outlets required for pool areas and outdoor kitchens prevalent in communities from Scottsdale to Goodyear.

Comprehensive Lighting and Fan Solutions

The business’s signature specialty lies in ceiling fan and light fixture services, directly responding to the Phoenix climate. With over 44,000 ceiling fans installed locally, they understand that proper fan function is essential for air circulation and energy savings during the extreme summer heat. As an authorized service center for major brands like Casablanca, Hunter, and Minka-Aire, they maintain the largest parts inventory in the Valley—over 10,000 components—ensuring fast repairs. Their ALA-certified lighting designer offers custom solutions for recessed, under-cabinet, and accent lighting, perfect for highlighting architectural features in Paradise Valley estates or creating functional task lighting in Mesa kitchen remodels.
