Built for 110 degrees
Phoenix had 31 straight days at 110°F or more in 2023, and 37 such days in 2025, its second-warmest year on record. Monsoon storms bring dust as well as rain: a dust storm on August 25, 2025 cut visibility below a quarter mile across the metro, with gusts near 65 mph.
Equipment chosen for a mild climate can fail early here, so heat is part of every specification we write.
- Outdoor cameras and enclosures rated for the heat, with sunshields where they help
- Switches and recorders in unconditioned warehouses kept in ventilated or cooled cabinets
- Cable and supports rated for the temperatures in hot ceiling spaces
- Camera housings sealed against monsoon dust and rain
- Rooftop and exterior work scheduled for early mornings in summer
Arizona licensing and Phoenix permits
Arizona licenses low-voltage communication work through the Registrar of Contractors, and certifies alarm businesses separately.
| License or rule | What it covers |
|---|---|
| C-67 Low Voltage Communication Systems | The commercial ROC classification for alarm, telephone, sound, intercom, public address, TV and video, low-voltage signaling and master clock systems. |
| C-11 Electrical | The commercial ROC classification for electrical wiring and equipment under 600 volts. |
| Alarm business and agent certification | The Arizona Board of Technical Registration certifies alarm businesses and agents every three years, and agents need a DPS fingerprint clearance card. Fire alarm work is outside the state’s alarm business definition. |
| Handyman exemption | Jobs under $1,000 in total that need no building permit. |
| City of Phoenix | The 2024 Phoenix Building Construction Code, with the 2023 NEC, took effect August 1, 2025. Class 2 and 3 circuits that are not essential for life safety are exempt from permits, new locks on egress doors need one, and fire alarms need a Phoenix Fire permit. |
Chips and data centers
Fab and data center construction is reshaping the Valley.
Semiconductor fabs
TSMC raised its Arizona commitment to $265 billion in July 2026, covering 10 fabs, two advanced packaging plants and an R&D center on more than 1,100 acres in north Phoenix. Its first fab has been in volume production since late 2024.
In Chandler, Intel’s Fab 52 at the Ocotillo campus makes its 18A chips.
Data centers
CBRE put Phoenix at 1,069.2 MW of data center inventory with 12.1 MW available in the first half of 2026. Microsoft runs a 150-acre campus in Goodyear and bought 100 acres next to it.
Chandler has allowed new data centers only under planned area development zoning, with noise studies, since 2023.
In fab support buildings and data centers we install fiber, racks and structured cabling to the owner’s standards, and follow gowning and access rules where they apply.

Common questions
Which Arizona license covers network cabling?
The Registrar of Contractors’ C-67 classification covers low-voltage communication systems, and C-11 covers electrical work. The C-67 rule does not name data or fiber cabling, so we confirm the classification for each scope.
Do I need a permit for low-voltage work in Phoenix?
Class 2 and 3 circuits that are not essential for life safety are exempt under the Phoenix building code, but new locks on egress doors and all fire alarm work need permits. We check each scope before we quote.
Can you work in fab support buildings?
Yes. We install cabling in offices, labs and support buildings around fabs, and follow the owner’s gowning, access and safety rules.
Do you cover Scottsdale, Mesa and the West Valley?
Yes. Our Phoenix market covers the Valley, including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Goodyear and Tolleson.
