A different housing mix
Apache Junction sits at the foot of the Superstition Mountains on the eastern edge of the Valley. It's mostly in Pinal County, with a small part in Maricopa County. Compared with most East Valley cities, it has a high share of manufactured homes, park models and RV resorts, many popular with winter visitors, alongside older site-built houses and newer subdivisions.
Manufactured homes and RV properties
Electrical work on a manufactured home has three parts: the service pedestal or meter post outside, the feeder that runs from it to the home, and the home's own panel and wiring. Pedestals and feeders sit out in the sun, rain and dust year-round, and they're common failure points. The usual symptoms are dimming lights, partial power loss or a burning smell at the pedestal.
Installing or relocating a manufactured home needs an installation permit from the Arizona Department of Housing, and separate electrical work on the site may also need a local permit. Inside RV resorts and manufactured-home parks, park rules often control who may work on site and what can be changed, so check with management before booking.
Common Apache Junction jobs

Back for the season? Check these first
Homes that sit empty through the summer often reveal problems when owners return in the fall:
- Rodent or pack-rat damage to wiring in attics, crawl spaces, pedestals and AC disconnects
- Tripped GFCI outlets that left a fridge, freezer or irrigation controller off for months
- Smoke alarm batteries dead, or alarms past their 10-year life
- Sun-cracked outdoor covers and fixtures
- Breakers that trip as soon as the AC or water heater starts after a long rest
If anything smells hot or you see chewed wiring, leave that circuit off and call 602-835-5455.
Permits and utility
The City of Apache Junction issues permits inside city limits. Nearby Gold Canyon is unincorporated Pinal County, so permits there go through the county. Most of the area is served by SRP, but check your bill before meter or pedestal work, because the utility has to be involved.
Apache Junction electrician FAQs
Can you connect me with a contractor for an RV hookup outlet?
Yes. A 30A or 50A RV outlet usually needs a new dedicated circuit and a permit. Tell us which your RV uses when you call.
Do contractors work on manufactured homes and park models?
Many do. Say it's a manufactured home or park model when you call, so we connect you with someone familiar with pedestals and feeders.
Do you cover Gold Canyon?
Yes. Gold Canyon is covered through our Apache Junction network. Call 602-835-5455 with your address.
My pedestal smells hot. What should I do?
Don't touch it. Call your utility if the meter or the utility side looks damaged, and call 602-835-5455 to be connected with an electrical contractor. If there's smoke or fire, call 911.
