About Serving Sam Hughes

Sam Hughes is one of the most beloved historic neighborhoods in all of Tucson, with tree-lined streets, brick cottages from the 1920s and 1930s, and a walkable character that feels worlds apart from the sprawling subdivisions on the edges of town. The charm of these homes comes at an electrical cost, however. Many properties in Sam Hughes still have original wiring that predates modern safety standards by half a century or more. We frequently encounter knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-wrapped conductors, and fuse boxes with 30-amp or 60-amp service in homes that now support air conditioning, modern kitchens, and home offices. Rewiring these properties requires skill, patience, and a deep respect for the historic construction methods involved.

The proximity to the University of Arizona campus means that a significant number of Sam Hughes properties have been converted into multi-unit rentals or duplexes over the decades. These conversions were not always performed to the highest electrical standards, and we often find shared circuits, improper subpanel installations, and insufficient capacity spread across multiple living units. Bringing these properties into code compliance protects both landlords and tenants while reducing the fire risk that comes with overloaded, aging electrical systems. We work closely with property owners along Campbell Avenue and throughout the neighborhood to develop upgrade plans that address the most critical safety issues first.

Despite the challenges of working in older construction, Sam Hughes homeowners are deeply invested in preserving and improving their properties. Many request period-appropriate lighting fixtures, AFCI and GFCI protection added discreetly to existing circuits, and panel upgrades that provide modern capacity without altering the exterior appearance of their homes. The narrow alleys, mature trees, and compact lot sizes in Sam Hughes require an electrician who can work in tight spaces and route new wiring creatively through plaster walls and brick exteriors. We have completed hundreds of projects in this neighborhood and understand the unique balance between preservation and modernization that Sam Hughes demands.
