Keep Things Running With an Industrial Electrician

There are codes, regulations, and safety requirements for a commercial property you don’t have with residences. You must have regular electrical inspections and professional electrical maintenance. You want electrical repair service sooner rather than later.

Electrical problems that occur at your place of business can result in major problems…There is no telling how many people may have to stop what they’re doing until the problem is resolved. For major corporations and small businesses alike, ceasing operations for any amount of time can be detrimental.
– Chad Ridenour, Owner | Turn It On Electric

Do you have business tenants relying on communications with customers using electronic equipment? An electrical outage can be a financial disaster for them.

Your industrial electrician should be knowledgeable about and experienced in:

Commercial wiring
Communicating clearly
Complex project management, including large scopes of work
Control systems
Delivering superior quality workmanship
Demonstrating pride of ownership and taking responsibility for a project
Full-spectrum lighting – This type of lighting is used in many offices and creative professional studios. It simulates natural sunlight which increases productivity, reduces eyestrain, and lessens fatigue.
Generators
Giving up-front quotes
Having a reputation for ethical business practices
Other local businesses and in particular, your competitors
Providing an expected turnaround time
Reacting and responding quickly
Smart electric controls/sensors and information technology (IT) integrations – It’s important to be able to educate offer facility managers about up-to-date technology options. When you know more, you make informed decisions.
Three-phase wiring
Town/city/county/state electrical requirements and codes
Transformers
Ways to save energy to reduce expenses

When You Need an Industrial Electrician for Hard FM Services

Soft facilities management services are tasks that improve the appearance of the property and the wellbeing of its tenants. Good examples of soft FM include mail management or providing cleaning/janitorial assistance.

Electrical repair and maintenance is a hard FM service. It is onsite and requires an onsite building service for integrated systems. These are large systems (HVAC units, for example) that cannot be removed for repairs. Arizona facility managers use a professional commercial or industrial electrician for liability purposes.

Why Should You Choose TIO?

We earned our success as well as high ratings and great testimonials, but we never take anything for granted. We support our local community because being able to give back is important to us.

Why you need an electrical inspection for your home

8Sep2021

Businesses are familiar with commercial electrical inspections. They are often required for city safety protocols and insurance. But savvy homeowners schedule electrical inspections too.

Some couples want to baby-proof their homes, especially areas in which their crawler/toddler will have access. Owners of older or historical homes want to be sure they have safe wiring and enough outlets to power-up an active family.

There are several causes of home fires (cooking is number 1). Electrical or lighting equipment was the leading cause of home fire property damage 2014-2018. Annually, an average of 33,900 electrical fires caused 470 deaths and $1.4 billion in property damage.

You need an electrical inspection for your home:

Following a major renovation/remodeling project
If your home is 40+ years old
When buying a residence

Over time, wiring, conduits, connections, and other electrical components deteriorate. Getting a regular electrical inspection is simply a smart thing to do.

What’s Included in an Electrical Inspection?

An electrical home inspection is a complete examination of your home’s electrical system. We examine large electrical appliances, equipment, wiring, and other parts of your system. Turn It On Electric uses the standards set by the NEC (National Electrical Code).

Your inspection includes:

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs)
Cables/wires and anchoring
Carbon monoxide detectors
Circuits
Electrical panel
Ensure environmental ratings are appropriate
Grounding (GFCI) systems
Labeling – Labeling breakers is a great idea; you need to know what controls your kitchen/kids’ bedrooms, etc.
Lightbulb wattage
Outdoor electrical systems
Safety/security lighting
Shock/ or electrocution hazards
Smoke detectors operations and locations
Surge protection
Switch/wall outlets operation and condition
Unused openings properly sealed/closed
Ventilation around appliances/electrical equipment

Following your electrical inspection, we will provide you with a detailed checklist that includes inspected areas and our findings, especially potential problems. Recommendations for upgrades and situations that require immediate attention will be noted.

How Often Do You Need an Electrical Inspection?

Most homeowners opt for an electrical inspection once every 5 years. Others schedule theirs more or less frequently. A lot depends on the age and condition of your property. If you have a rental property, scheduling an electrical inspection when you change tenants might be a good idea.

An electrical inspection will reveal hazards and risks before they cause dangerous (and expensive) problems.

Benefits of Home Electrical Safety Inspection

Are you a holiday lighting enthusiast? It’s worth the peace of mind knowing your home can handle all the electrical decorations you, and Clark Griswold, want to display!

Other benefits of your electrical inspection include:

Detecting outdated/aluminum wiring
Feeling safe
Finding potential fire hazards
Identifying electrical issues made by previous owners or even electrical contractors
Knowing your appliances/equipment operate safely
Learning ways to save energy and lower monthly energy bills
Meeting insurance requirements (Be sure to ask if you have earned a lower insurance rate after your inspection.)
Pinpointing electrical wiring/components deterioration

Reviews for a Top Electrical Contractor in Tucson

1Aug2021

The expression “toot your own horn” is as all-American as apple pie. (Actually, the apples nor the pie originated here, but…) Other origins have been attributed to the toot-your-own-horn phrase but we like this one best. The Loveland Reporter-Herald says it was used in the Warren-Adams Papers of 1776:

“My motto is ‘Toot your own horn lest the same never be tooted.’ ”

Turn It On Electric wants to toot our own horn. If you need an electrical contractor in Tucson, Phoenix, and nearby Valley communities, you need to know who to contact. You should put our information (Tucson phone 520-783-7137) in your cellphone under “E” for “electrician.”

Here’s why.

Online Ratings & Reviews Are Important When You Need an Electrical Contractor in Tucson

When you’re researching a product or a service provider, what’s the first thing you do? You might ask a friend, neighbor, or relative but most people Google reviews and ratings.

We’re proud of our reputation for trustworthiness and superior workmanship because we’ve earned it.

When you need an electrical contractor in Tucson, Pima County, or Maricopa County… In fact, no matter where you are, if you have residential or commercial electrical questions and need expert help, you can contact Turn It On Electric. Based on reviews, our company is your best choice.

Ceiling Fans, Electrician, Residential

Use a licensed electrician when adding a ceiling fan

29May2021

As summer quickly approaches, adding a ceiling fan can keep you comfortable. It can lower your monthly HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) bill. Ceiling fans are feel-good energy-savers!

Adding a Ceiling Fan to Your Arizona Home

DIYers (do-it-yourselfers) are the most responsible, knowledgeable homeowners in the USA. They strive to learn about their homes’ systems: plumbing, heating and cooling, landscaping, electricity…all the things that keep a house safe and comfortable.

The most important thing savvy homeowners know is when not to DIY. When it comes to taking care of their homes, DIYers understand some upgrades are best left to the professionals. Adding a ceiling fan is one of those times.

Smart Homes, Smart Ceiling Fans

Modern ceiling fans aren’t pull-the-cord controlled. Just as you can program your thermostat before you arrive home, you can pre-program or manually input ceiling fan settings. If you have a smart thermostat (Nest, Ecobee, etc.), you can integrate your ceiling fan to your thermostat.

Smart ceiling fans operate with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and cost anywhere from $300 – $1,000+. Some of the top-rated ceiling fan companies include:

Bond (control hubs)
Haiku
Honeywell
Hunter Fan Company
Minka-Aire

When adding a ceiling fan to a room you can integrate with Alexa, Siri, Google Home, etc. Smart ceiling fans are programmable but they can also sense a room’s current temperature and choose the appropriate comfort setting.

Look for:

Energy efficiency – Temperature/humidity sensors
Indoor/outdoor versions
LED lights
Reversible motors

To control your smart ceiling fan, use:

Infrared remote
Occupancy sensor
Smartphone
Temperature/humidity sensor
Timer
Voice
Wall switch

Options for Adding a Ceiling Fan

You have a lot of considerations when you invest in a smart ceiling fan. Here’s what Smart Home Scout shares:

If you already have a Z-Wave or Zigbee smart home hub, replacing your ceiling fan wall switch with a Z-wave version to control your fan settings and light is a cost-effective option.
If you want to save energy and gain more control of your environment, a smart ceiling fan is a good choice. The cost compared to a “dumb” fan isn’t that much more and can be made up in energy bill savings.
Retrofitting your pull-cord fan is very cost-effective. You won’t have temperature sensors, etc. But you will have added control and scheduling options.

Before You Buy, Call TIO Electric

The most common mistake homeowners make when adding a ceiling fan is buying the wrong size. A ceiling fan size is measured in “room sweep.” If your ceiling fan is too small, it just won’t get the job done. If it’s too big, it may feel like a swamp box fan.

But electrical wiring mistakes are the second most common mistake. Working with electricity is dangerous and simply not worth the risk.

Ceiling fans weigh about 50 pounds. If an improperly mounted ceiling fan falls on a small child, senior, or family pet, severe injury or death could result.
If you’re replacing a standard light fixture with a combination ceiling fan-light fixture, the electrical box (above the ceiling) will probably need to be replaced.
If your DIY-installed ceiling fan wiring sparks a fire, your insurance company can deny coverage.
There are installation code requirements that vary by state and county.

If you prefer your current ceiling fan but would like to upgrade its operation, we can hardwire an electronic device inside your fan or replace your dedicated wall switch with another version that will connect and control your ceiling fan.

You want safety first for any renovation project. Our licensed electricians are technology-trained professionals. For ceiling fan installation in Maricopa and Pima counties, Turn It On Electric is a smart home choice.

Commercial, Electrician, Residential

Highest rated Phoenix electrician

29May2021

Business owners used to say, “I don’t need advertising. I have word-of-mouth.” Today’s word-of-mouth advertising is Angie’s List. Facebook. Yelp. BBB (Better Business Bureau). Before you hire any service company, including a Phoenix electrician, research online.

Is My Phoenix Electrician ‘The Best?’

First point of contact was with Dawn in the office. She was very professional…also texted to confirm appointments. I like that…Second was Junior…What he quoted was spot-on. Third point of contact was Brian and Bob. They did an outstanding job…I would recommend TIO.
– Heidi

I’m difficult to please. TIO Installed a 150amp subpanel/conduit for a future spa/pool heater. Good price, great communication, even better installation…
– Scott

If BBB ratings and online reviews count for you, Turn It On Electric is the highest-rated Phoenix electrician. An A+ grade and 5/5 stars are about as good as it gets. And the Turn It On Electric professionals…Well, they’re as good as it gets for Maricopa and Pima counties.

Your Electrician: TIO Electric

Some families keep attorneys on retainers. Most of us put our attorney’s phone number in our cellphone. (“On account of you never know,” said one Scottsdale resident.) You should do the same with your electrician.

Among the worst electrical disasters in Arizona history were:

1996 – Western North America Blackout
2011 – Southwest Blackout (You might remember this one: California depended on Arizona for power. An Arizona technician made a mistake that impacted 2.7 million people.)

Blackouts don’t usually cause damage but tell that to someone whose breaker box was fried following a loss of power and subsequent surges. Fraudulent companies and scammers are quick to capitalize on area-wide disasters. That’s maybe the most important reason to know your local electrical service company and put the information in your cell under “contact.”

We had some electrical issues discovered that were rather alarming and created an issue with the garage door opener completely lost power as well as our outdoor dusk to dawn lighting and the interior garage lights.

I called TIO Electric because a friend referred them and they did not disappoint. I had an issue and it was rough identifying the source of the problem. Miguel and Conrad worked together to identify and solve the problem quickly. As a services based business it was extremely important to get the repair done quickly and the team stayed to ensure the job was done before they left. I expected to have to schedule another visit due to the complexity of the case, but they understood I needed to be back up and running as soon as possible and got the job done in just a few hours. They were very professional and personable and the cost was in line with what I expected.Update 8/14/24: TIO helped me again. This time with an issue I was having at my home. Marcus was very nice and knowledgable and was able to identify the problem and make the repair in quick time. I had a secondary issue I wasn't too worried about, but Marcus took care of that as well. These guys know what they're doing. Still highly recommend.They did a great job. I would definitely recommend them for projects big and small.

Excellent service!! Marcus has been to our house a couple of times and completed the work doing an AMAZING job. He was very polite, professional and explained every process to us. His work was also completed in a timely manner. It is very rare to find anyone with great work ethic anymore! This company is very lucky to have him. We would definitely recommend and use Turn It On Electric again.
