What to know about electrical work in Maricopa.
Maricopa sits south of the Gila River Indian Community, down State Route 347 from Ahwatukee. Most of it was built from the 2000s on as master-planned subdivisions, with farm fields still between some of them.
Local facts
- Utility
- Electrical District No. 3, called ED3, serves most of the city. ED3 runs its own meter pull and reconnect on a service upgrade, separate from SRP and APS, and we set that up with them.
- Permits and inspection
- The City of Maricopa Development Services issues the permit, and the inspection comes from the city.
- ZIP codes
- 85138 and 85139.
- Homes
- Most of Maricopa was built from the 2000s on, so most houses have a newer panel with GFCI protection already in place. The limit is space. Builder-grade panels often left few spare spaces for a spa, a charger or more garage power.
- Neighborhoods
- Neighborhoods we work in most: Rancho El Dorado, Province, Glennwilde, Tortosa, Homestead, Senita and Cobblestone Farms.
