Local conditions
Heat, sun exposure and older wiring: what desert conditions mean for electrical work
In Palm Springs the sun does a lot of the damage. A control box or driver cabinet on a sunny wall can run far hotter than the air around it, and electronics that are rated for a lower temperature start to shut down in the afternoon and recover by evening.
Older mid-century homes add a second layer, with original wiring and panels that were never sized for air conditioning, pool equipment and car chargers running together. Rentals are different again, because several guests can load the same circuits at once.
When you call about outdoor lighting or a tripping panel, we ask about these first:
- What time of day the problem starts, and whether it clears when it cools down
- Whether the equipment sits in full sun or inside a closed box
- How old the panel is and what has been added since it was installed
- Whether the fault shows up when the air conditioner starts
Field notes
Path lights that dimmed every hot afternoon: field notes
Path lights that dimmed every hot afternoon
A Palm Springs courtyard home had path lights that dimmed and shut off in the hottest part of the afternoon but ran fine in the morning. Our electrician measured 61°C inside the sun-exposed cabinet holding the LED drivers, which is above what the drivers are rated for. We moved them to a shaded, ventilated spot using the existing service chase, replaced the one heat had damaged, and watched the lights through an afternoon until the output stayed steady.
A shaded mounting position may determine whether a driver performs within its stated limits.
Our electrician from Palm Springs
A thermostat that reset when the air conditioner started
A Palm Springs rental had a thermostat supply that reset at every cooling call. The control transformer was overloaded by an accessory added in an earlier cooling update. We redistributed the control loads, replaced the underspecified transformer and ran several normal cooling cycles before leaving.
Carport lighting that stays out of the neighbors’ patios
A Palm Springs carport needed light on the parking area without shining toward patio seating next door. We fitted shielded, adjustable fixtures with a timed occupancy control, then checked the view from both properties after dark.

A typical question from the courtyard job: “Would brighter lamps solve the dimming?” The answer was no. The driver overheating had to be fixed first, and the lamps were fine.

Panel upgrades start from $699, outlet installation from $69 and lighting installation from $59 per fixture. These are starting prices and your cost may differ, and we give you the price for your job on the call.
Do you charge to come out?
We discuss the price on the call before anyone is sent. Free estimates apply to panel upgrades, panel installation, breaker replacement and whole-house rewiring. Other work is quoted on the phone.
How soon can someone come?
Same day in many cases. Otherwise we aim for the next day or within a few days.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Red Electricians is a licensed and insured electrician.
Do you offer a warranty?
Red Electricians offers a standard warranty on its work. Ask your technician for the details when you call.
What should I send before the visit?
A photo of the panel label and a photo of the area with the problem. It helps us plan the right parts.
Why do my lights fail only on hot days?
Heat can push a driver or transformer past its rating. On a Palm Springs courtyard job the cabinet reached 61°C, and moving the drivers into shade fixed it.
Is this an emergency?
If you smell burning or see smoke or fire, call 911 first. For a power loss or a dangerous electrical fault, our emergency electrician service is available 24/7.
