Need a hand with electrical work around the house? The Toolbox Pro handles the everyday electrical jobs that keep your home running safely and efficiently. From ceiling fan installations to outlet replacements, we bring 15+ years of hands-on experience to every job across the Phoenix East Valley.
What We Handle
Most electrical work in a home does not require a licensed electrician. It requires someone who knows the difference between a 14-gauge and a 12-gauge wire and why it matters. That is us.
Ceiling fan installation is our most popular electrical service. We install Hunter, Hampton Bay, Minka Aire, and every other brand. Existing wiring means a 90-minute job at $89. New wiring or a fan-rated box upgrade adds time, but we quote it before we start.
Light fixture installation covers everything from simple pendant lights to recessed LED retrofits. Bathroom vanity bars, kitchen under-cabinet strips, porch motion-sensor floods, dining room chandeliers. If it takes power and lights up a room, we install it. Most fixtures run $100 to $250 installed depending on complexity.
Outlet and switch work is the bread and butter. Dead outlets, loose plugs, hot switches, flickering dimmers, GFCI replacements in kitchens and bathrooms, USB outlet upgrades, and smart switch installations for Lutron or TP-Link. A single outlet or switch swap runs $75 to $150 including the part.
We also handle smoke detector and CO alarm installation, doorbell wiring including Ring and Nest, whole-house surge protector installation, and running new circuits for dedicated appliances like a home office, EV charger prep, or a hot tub.
When to Call Us vs. a Licensed Electrician
We are upfront about what we can and cannot do. Outlet repairs, fixture installs, ceiling fans, switches, and running basic circuits are all in our lane. Panel upgrades, 200-amp service changes, major rewiring, and anything requiring a city permit needs a licensed electrician. We will tell you straight and recommend someone good if it is outside our scope.
The honest truth: 80% of residential electrical calls do not need a licensed electrician. They need someone competent who shows up on time and does not overcharge. That is the gap we fill.
Common Electrical Problems We Fix Daily
Dead outlet: Usually a tripped GFCI somewhere upstream. We trace the circuit, find the culprit, and reset or replace. $75 to $120.
Breaker keeps tripping: Too many devices on one circuit, a faulty appliance, or a failing breaker. We diagnose the root cause with a multimeter and amp clamp. $85 diagnostic fee applied to the repair.
Ceiling fan wobbles or hums: Blade imbalance, loose mounting bracket, or the wrong fan-rated box. We rebalance for $49 or swap the box and remount.
Flickering lights: Loose wire connection, bad dimmer compatibility, or a neutral issue. We check every connection point in the circuit. Most fixes under $150.
Hot light switch: Dimmer switches run warm by design. Regular switches should not. If a regular switch feels hot, that is a wiring issue we need to inspect immediately. Safety first.

How Long Does It Take
A single outlet or switch swap takes 10 to 25 minutes. Ceiling fan installation with existing wiring runs 60 to 90 minutes. A light fixture swap is usually 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on weight and wiring. Running a new circuit can be half a day depending on access and wall construction.
We schedule morning and afternoon windows and show up when we say we will.
Our Tools and Approach
We carry professional-grade voltage testers, a Fluke multimeter, wire strippers, fish tape, and a full range of Romex wire gauges. Outlets and switches are mid-range Leviton or Hubbell, not the bargain-bin stuff that fails in 18 months. Every connection gets properly torqued, pigtailed where needed, and tested before we close the box.
We work clean. Drop cloths under ceiling work, drywall dust vacuumed up, wire scraps removed. Your house looks the same or better when we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install ceiling fans?
Yes, we install ceiling fans including wiring, mounting, and balancing. We can also replace existing light fixtures with ceiling fans.
Can you replace light fixtures?
Yes, we handle all light fixture installations — chandeliers, recessed lighting, vanity lights, and outdoor fixtures.
Do you handle electrical outlets?
We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets for kitchens and bathrooms, and USB charging outlets.
Are you a licensed electrician?
No — we are a handyman service, not a licensed electrician. We handle standard tasks like ceiling fan installation, outlet replacement, fixture swaps, and dimmer switches. For panel work or rewiring, we refer to licensed electricians.
Can you install dimmer switches?
Yes. We replace standard toggle switches with dimmer switches, including smart dimmers (Lutron, Leviton) that are compatible with smart home systems.
Do you install smoke and CO detectors?
Yes, we install battery-operated and hardwired smoke detectors and combination smoke/CO detectors. We also test and replace existing units that are past their 10-year service life.
Can you add a new outlet to a room?
We can add outlets on existing circuits where there is accessible wiring. New circuits from the panel require a licensed electrician and permit.
Do you do outdoor lighting?
Yes, we install outdoor wall sconces, motion-sensor lights, landscape spot lights, and pathway lighting. Work is performed on existing low-voltage or 120V circuits.
How much does outlet installation cost?
Replacing an existing outlet (standard or GFCI) starts at $65. Adding a USB outlet or replacing a damaged outlet is the same price. Adding a new outlet on an existing circuit is $85-$120 depending on access.
Can you install a bathroom exhaust fan?
Yes. Replacing an existing fan is straightforward. Installing a new fan where there is none requires cutting drywall and running a duct to the exterior — we assess on-site and estimate accordingly.
