Electrician in Tucson, AZ

An electrician in Tucson is a professional who can repair, replace, maintain, or install electrical systems and components. This may include working on your electrical panel, wiring new fixtures in your home, installing a generator or EV charger, or making sure electrical components in your home are up to code. Electricians also often work on lighting, appliances, and essentially anything that is connected to your home’s electrical power source.

We do not recommend attempting to DIY the types of electrical services we provide. Working with wiring, outlets, or your electrical panel without training can be extremely dangerous and comes with a risk of electrocution or starting an electrical fire.

Plus, if you make a mistake, it is likely the damage will need to be repaired by a professional electrical company in Tucson anyway, and it may cost more than you would have saved by doing the service correctly yourself.

In particular, major new installations and changes to your electrical panel should be handled by a qualified, licensed electrician. Often, manufacturer warranties for generators, for example, require professional installation. And your electrical panel controls the flow of electricity to the rest of your house, so when something goes wrong with an attempt to fix or upgrade it, the result can be catastrophic if you don’t understand how to handle it.

Electricians go through a four to five year apprenticeship during which they must always have a licensed journeyman or master electrician present while performing services. This means that yes, there will always be a licensed electrician on the jobsite when you request services from a reputable contractor.

After completing their apprenticeship, electricians are required to take a licensing exam to become a journeyman electrician. It’s a career path that requires significant training and education along the way, so we can ensure we’re offering you safe, quality services that meet current and future standards.

This depends entirely on the type of service you are requesting. If you need a small, simple repair to an existing electrical component, it will be much cheaper than a generator installation. Consider the fact that an installation service will include both the cost of the new device or appliance, and repairs may include the cost of a new part.

At Pride Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical, we offer second opinions, so if you are concerned about the pricing offered by one electrical company, we will provide you with an honest assessment of what your service should cost. We will also provide a free estimate, no matter the service, so you’ll know upfront what you should expect to pay.
