You should never lie awake at night wondering whether the wiring behind your walls is safe. But a surprising number of homeowners across Scottsdale, North Scottsdale, Old Town Scottsdale, Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Glendale, and Fountain Hills do exactly that — because a tripping breaker, a sparking outlet, or an aging panel that cannot keep up with modern demands is not just an inconvenience. It is a warning sign. At FHR Electric, our Home Electrical Services are built around one promise: we do not leave until your home is genuinely safe, code-compliant, and ready for the life you actually live in it. We are a family-owned electrical contractor serving all of Maricopa County, AZ, and every job we take is backed by a licensed team, transparent pricing, and the kind of accountability a fly-by-night handyman simply cannot offer.
If you have been burned before by shoddy work, failed inspections, or wiring that a previous contractor left in a dangerous state, you already know why credentials matter. Our electricians are licensed, insured, and trained to work on everything from a single GFCI outlet to a full-scale panel replacement or EV charger installation — so you get one trusted team, not a rotating cast of generalists gambling with your home.
The Complete Home Electrical Solution — From a Single Circuit to a Full-Home Upgrade
Modern homes demand more from their electrical systems than ever before. An EV in the garage, a new HVAC system, a kitchen remodel with a commercial-style range, a home office that cannot afford a power outage — all of these add real load to a system that may have been designed decades ago for a fraction of that demand. When too many appliances share one circuit, when your AC causes lights to flicker, or when condensation builds in a breaker box that has seen better days, those are not quirks to live with. They are symptoms of a system under stress. We diagnose the root cause, explain what we find in plain language, and fix it right the first time.
Electrical Panel Upgrades & Power Capacity Planning
If your home is still running on a 100-amp service, it was not designed for today’s loads. Upgrading from 100 amp to 200 amp service — or even a 400-amp service for larger estates — gives your home the headroom it needs for an EV charger, a new HVAC system, and every appliance in a fully remodeled kitchen. We size the service correctly the first time, handle the permit and utility coordination, and plan the panel for future loads so you are not back here in five years doing this again. We also address panel bus bar repairs, breaker replacements, and any heat signature concerns flagged during a four-point home inspection. Learn more about our Electrical Panels & Power Upgrades service.
EV Charger Installation & Garage Wiring
Scottsdale has one of the highest concentrations of electric vehicles in Arizona, and we wire more EV-ready garages than almost anyone in Maricopa County. Whether you drive a Tesla, a Lucid Air, a Rivian, or any other EV, we help you choose between a Tesla charger vs. a NEMA outlet, a J1772 vs. a hardwired charger, and we size the dedicated circuit correctly for your vehicle and your panel. We run conduit cleanly, pull the permit, and make sure your garage circuit for your EV passes inspection the first time. Two-car households with two EV charger garage setups are increasingly common — we plan the load carefully so both chargers run at full speed without straining the panel. Explore our full EV Chargers, Smart Home & Low Voltage services.
Dedicated Circuits & Whole-Home Wiring
- Dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances — electric dryers, chest freezers, refrigerator coolers, and commercial-style ranges all need their own properly sized circuit. We know the right breaker size for an electric dryer and heat pump electrical requirements so your appliances run safely and efficiently.
- Kitchen arc-fault circuit protection — modern code requires AFCI protection in kitchens and living areas. We retrofit existing homes to meet current standards without tearing out walls unnecessarily.
- Whole-home rewire — older homes with aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube, or rodent damage to electrical wiring need a real solution, not a patch. We walk you through the whole-home rewire process, minimize disruption, and handle the inspections start to finish.
- Addition and remodel circuit planning — adding a casita, a home office, or a new wing? Solid addition circuit planning from the start means no surprises when the walls go up.
- GFCI and AFCI compliance — bathroom GFCI code requirements in Arizona are strict, and they exist for a reason. We bring every area of your home into compliance with current NEC standards.
Lighting Installation — Indoor & Outdoor
From recessed lights in a coffered ceiling to under-cabinet kick lighting, kitchen island pendant light installs, and perimeter lighting for Scottsdale properties, our lighting work is as much about design execution as it is about wiring. We run dedicated outdoor lighting circuits so your landscape and entertainment area lighting never competes with your household loads. We also install hardwired motorized shades and low voltage transformer installations for sophisticated automated lighting systems. See everything we do under our Lighting Installation service page.
Smart Home, Thermostats & Low-Voltage Systems
Smart thermostat wiring, keycard entry system electrical installation, and recording room electrical setups all require a clean, structured low-voltage backbone. We design and install these systems so they integrate cleanly with your home automation platform, with no exposed wiring, no DIY shortcuts, and no compatibility headaches down the road.
Electrical Repairs — Diagnosing What Others Miss
A loose service connection causing flickering lights, AC-related circuit strain, or a breaker that trips every time you run the microwave — these problems have real causes, and guessing at them is dangerous. Our diagnostic process uses thermal imaging to find heat signatures in wiring and panels before they become emergencies, and we explain every finding before we touch a single wire. Browse our Electrical Repairs page to see the full scope of what we handle.
Why This Matters More Than You Think
Electrical fires are the second leading cause of residential fires in the United States. The full scope of home electrical services touches every system in your house — lighting, climate, security, entertainment, and appliances. When any part of that network is undersized, improperly installed, or simply old, the risk is real and the consequences are serious.
For homeowners in Scottsdale and across Maricopa County, there is another layer: resale value. A home that passes a four-point inspection with a clean electrical report, a modern 200-amp panel, code-compliant GFCI and AFCI protection, and a properly permitted EV charger installation is worth more — and sells faster — than one that raises red flags for buyers and their inspectors. Every dollar you invest in quality electrical work is a dollar that works for you when it is time to sell.
“We do not sell you what you do not need. We diagnose honestly, price transparently, and stand behind our work with our name — because in a market like Scottsdale, our reputation is everything.”

Our Process — Straightforward, Transparent, and Built Around You
We understand that cost uncertainty and surprise invoices are among the biggest fears homeowners have when calling an electrician. Here is exactly how we work, from first call to final inspection:
- Listen first. We take the time to understand what you are experiencing — the symptoms, the history, what you have already tried. No assumptions, no rushed diagnoses over the phone.
- Honest on-site assessment. We inspect the area in question and your panel, look for underlying causes, and use thermal imaging when warranted to find heat signature issues that are invisible to the naked eye.
- Clear, itemized estimate. You receive a written estimate with every line item explained before we start. No vague lump sums. No surprise scope expansions that were not discussed with you first. We understand electrical bid line items can be confusing — we walk you through every one.
- Licensed work, pulled permits. Every job that requires a permit gets one. We handle the coordination with the city or county, and we schedule the inspection so you have a documented record of compliant work — critical for resale and insurance.
- Clean jobsite, full walkthrough. When we finish, we clean up completely and walk you through exactly what was done, what we found, and any recommendations for future work — on your timeline, not ours.
- We are here after the job. As a family-owned business, we stand behind our work. If something is not right, you call us and we come back. Period.
