General Questions

Q: Do you offer 24/7 emergency services?

Yuma Specifics (The “Heat” Questions)
Q: My A/C keeps tripping the breaker. Is it an A/C problem or an electrical problem?
A: It could be either! A failing compressor can draw too much power. Because a weak breaker or loose wiring at the disconnect can also be the culprit. A licensed electrician can test the electrical side to see if the issue is with your home’s power supply.
Q: Why do my lights flicker when the A/C kicks on?
A: It usually indicates a “voltage drop.” This could mean your electrical panel is undersized for your A/C unit or you have a loose connection at the main service. We recommend a panel inspection to prevent damage to your appliances.
A: Yes! We specialize in installing 30-amp and 50-amp RV pedestals. This is much safer for your rig than using a “pigtail” adapter into a standard garage outlet. Which can melt wires and damage your RV’s electronics. Get a dedicated electrical circuit for your RV hook-ups
Q: Does my older home need a panel upgrade?
A: Homes built before 1990 but still have the original electrical panel. It may not be equipped to handle modern electronics and high-efficiency A/C units.
Q: How often should I test my smoke detectors?
A: You should test them monthly and change the batteries every six months. They should be replaced with new, interconnected units as required by current Yuma building codes.
Commercial & Construction
Q: Do you provide electrical bids for room additions and casitas?
A: Yes. Our network handles everything from “rough-in” wiring to final trim-out for home expansions, detached guest houses (casitas), and commercial tenant improvements.
