What to know about electrical work in Ahwatukee.
Ahwatukee sits between South Mountain and the Gila River Indian Community, with I-10 along its east side. The streets closest to the freeway mostly went up in the 1980s and 1990s. Club West and The Foothills, farther out, came later.
Local facts
- Utility
- SRP. A panel or service upgrade needs SRP to pull the meter and set it back, and we book that with SRP as part of the job.
- Permits and inspection
- Ahwatukee is part of the City of Phoenix, so the permit comes from Phoenix Planning and Development and a Phoenix inspector signs off on the work.
- ZIP codes
- 85044, 85045 and 85048.
- Homes
- Most houses went up between the 1980s and the early 2000s. The older ones often still run their original 100 to 150 amp panel with no AFCI breakers, and many of those panels are 30 years old or more.
- Neighborhoods
- Neighborhoods we work in most: Mountain Park Ranch, Lakewood, Club West and The Foothills.
