Speed of Light Electric: Phoenix's Trusted Electrical Experts

Speed of Light Electric LLC is an established electrical contractor serving the Phoenix metropolitan area since 2016. Operating from a central Phoenix dispatch, the company provides a comprehensive range of electrical services for residential and commercial clients across the Valley. Its operations are deeply integrated into the community, demonstrated by initiatives like the S.O.L Project, which assists residents with critical electrical needs.

Key Electrical Services for Phoenix Homes and Businesses

The company's services address the specific demands of the Sonoran Desert environment and local building stock. Its offerings are grouped into several key categories.

Electrical Safety and Power Management

This includes circuit breaker and electric panel installation and repair. These services are critical for older homes in neighborhoods like Arcadia and Encanto, which may have outdated panels struggling with modern air conditioning loads during Phoenix's extreme summer heat. Proper panel upgrades help prevent overloads that are common during monsoon season power surges.

Lighting and Fixtures

Services cover light fixture installation and repair, including outdoor lighting. This is popular in areas with extensive outdoor living spaces, such as homes in Paradise Valley and North Scottsdale, where pool, patio, and landscape lighting enhances usability during cooler evening hours.

Modernization and Specialty Installation

This category includes electric vehicle (EV) charging station installation, a growing need in tech-forward communities like Tempe and near the ASU campus, as well as generator installation for backup power during seasonal haboobs or summer storm outages.

General Wiring and Repairs

The team handles wire, outlet, switch, and doorbell installation and repair. This is essential for the many mid-century and ranch-style homes in areas like Sunnyslope and Central Phoenix, where original wiring may need updating for safety and functionality.

Detailed Service Area Across the Valley

Speed of Light Electric maintains a focused service territory with deep operational knowledge.

The team's familiarity with the varied infrastructure—from historic homes in the Willo District to new developments along the Loop 303—allows for efficient and code-compliant service across the region.
