When the triple digits hit, your A/C runs non-stop, ceiling fans never stop spinning, and every outlet works overtime. Arizona summers put a heavy load on your home’s electrical system—and if it’s not up to the task, you could be looking at blown circuits, tripped breakers, or even fire risks.
At The Wire Guy Electric, we specialize in helping Scottsdale homeowners stay cool, safe, and energy-efficient all summer long. Here’s how you can prep your home for the heat.
Older homes in Scottsdale and surrounding areas weren’t built to handle today’s power demands. If you’re noticing dimming lights when the A/C kicks on, or constantly resetting breakers, it might be time to upgrade your panel.
Pro Tip: A new panel can improve efficiency, reduce fire hazards, and support new appliances like EV chargers or smart thermostats.
Summer monsoons and lightning storms are no strangers to Arizona. One power surge can fry thousands of dollars in appliances or electronics. Protect your home with a whole-home surge protector—a small investment that saves big in the long run.
Smart thermostats like Nest or ecobee automatically adjust your home’s cooling schedule based on your routine. Pair that with high-efficiency ceiling fans, and you can cut back on A/C usage without sacrificing comfort.
We handle both smart home wiring and ceiling fan installations across Paradise Valley, Arcadia, and the greater Scottsdale area.
Backyard barbecues and late-night swims are summer staples—but old floodlights and exposed wiring don’t mix well with extreme heat or monsoons. We install LED landscape lighting with waterproof, UV-rated materials to handle Arizona’s intense conditions.
Heat accelerates wear and tear—especially on outdated or DIY wiring. An electrical inspection can identify hazards before they become dangerous. Whether you’re in an older ranch home in Tempe or a custom build in North Scottsdale, we offer quick, affordable safety inspections.
