Phoenix Electrician — 85073
85073 is the ZIP code for Phoenix in Maricopa County, Arizona. Electricians working this route handle everything from a dead outlet in a 1950s bungalow to a 200-amp service upgrade for a new heat pump, and the price of those two jobs is not close.
If the symptom is a burning smell, sparking, smoke or water contacting live wiring, treat it as an emergency and cut the circuit at the panel. Everything else is a scheduling question rather than a safety one.

Electrician FAQ for 85073
Do you handle both homes and small businesses?
Most local electrical contractors take residential work and light commercial work such as retail, restaurant and office premises, including three-phase distribution, lighting retrofits and dedicated equipment circuits. Larger commercial projects are quoted from a site survey.
How much does an electrician cost per hour?
Licensed residential electricians generally charge in the $50 to $150 per hour range in 2026, plus a service call fee of roughly $75 to $200. Most companies now price common jobs flat-rate rather than hourly, which means the number you are quoted is the number you pay if the scope does not change.

The exact policy varies by contractor, and it should be confirmed on the phone before anyone travels.
