Key Electrical Services for Tempe Homes and Businesses

• Electrical Inspections: Critical for older homes in areas like the historic North Tempe neighborhoods or before the monsoon season, when heavy rains can expose faulty outdoor installations.
• Residential System Upgrades: Essential for supporting increased air conditioning use during summer peaks and for updating wiring in homes built before modern electrical codes.
• Commercial Electrical Solutions: Serves local businesses in districts like the Tempe Marketplace and along the Rio Salado Parkway, ensuring compliance and reliability for retail and office operations.
