Start with the property and the project
For homes with existing solar, batteries or other energy equipment, tell the electrician before the site visit. Panel work needs to account for the connected systems and any coordination with their installers or the utility.
Make the proposed scope specific
Ask the contractor to confirm the permitting authority for the property and current requirements for the work. Include exterior equipment placement, finished-surface restoration and any association review in your planning discussion.
Ask for the proposed power-interruption plan in advance, especially when the property has equipment or occupants that depend on continuous power.
How a VoltWise referral works
Send the project type, your area and a short description. We review the request and seek an independent contractor connection. We cannot guarantee availability at every address. The contractor confirms the assessment, fees and proposed work directly with you.
Before hiring, verify the business’s current Arizona license and the scope it covers. Ask about insurance, visit fees and the written proposal. VoltWise may receive compensation for referrals and does not perform or supervise electrical work.
