Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, because most electrical problems give you warning signs before they become serious. Flickering lights, dead outlets, tripping breakers, burning smells, sparking receptacles, and partial power loss are all calls we handle regularly. Each one gets a proper diagnosis before any work is quoted, so you know exactly what the job involves and what it will cost to fix.
GFCI and AFCI protection failures are common repair calls too, especially in older homes where the original wiring was never updated to meet current safety standards. If a breaker keeps tripping or an outlet stops responding, there is usually a reason worth finding. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
Your home deserves wiring that's safe and up to code, and that starts with the outlets and switches you use every single day. We install standard outlets, GFCI receptacles for kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor locations, 240V outlets for appliances and equipment, and weatherproof outdoor receptacles built for Utah's climate swings.
Switch and dimmer upgrades, recessed lighting, light fixture installation, under-cabinet lighting, and outdoor security lighting all fall within the scope of a standard service call. Ceiling fan installation and wiring fits naturally here too, whether you are adding a new fan or replacing one that has stopped working.
Code-compliant wiring on every job means the work passes inspection and holds up over time. For commercial clients, we handle office lighting layouts, fixture replacements, and electrical work tied to tenant improvements and buildouts. We'll have your outlets working again in no time.
From older homes to new commercial builds, panel capacity and wiring condition are the foundation everything else runs on. We repair and replace breaker panels, install 200-amp service upgrades, add subpanels, and handle full home rewiring when a property's electrical system has aged past the point of safe use.
Older Orem homes with knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuits need careful remediation, not just a patch. We assess what is there, explain the options, and do the work correctly. Dedicated circuits for dryers, ranges, EV chargers, and workshop equipment are part of this work too, along with load calculations and service-entrance upgrades when the incoming power supply needs to be brought up to current capacity.
Electrical work done to the standard the next inspection expects is not optional on these jobs. It protects the homeowner, satisfies the inspector, and keeps the property insurable. Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Calling an electrician doesn't have to be stressful, and for jobs like EV charger installation, the process is straightforward. We wire Level 2 home charging stations for all vehicle types, run the dedicated circuit, and confirm the panel has the capacity to handle the added load. If it does not, we handle that upgrade at the same time.
Whole-home surge protection is a smart addition for any property in Utah County, where winter storms can send voltage spikes through the lines and into appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment. A single surge protector at the panel shields everything downstream.
Garage wiring, basement finish circuits, kitchen and bathroom remodel circuits, and dedicated circuits for hot tubs and spa hookups are all part of what we do on the specialty side. Smoke detector installation and wiring rounds out the safety work we handle for both residential and commercial clients.
Electrical work here gets handled by people who answer to this community.
Orem winters are not mild. Sub-freezing temperatures, ice storms, and heavy wind events are routine, and the electrical demands that come with them are specific to this part of Utah. Frozen pipes, roof ice dams, and multi-day outages push homeowners and property managers toward electrical solutions that a warmer climate would never need. The three services below address those needs directly.
When a winter storm knocks out power in Utah County, the outage can last hours or days. A standby generator changes that picture entirely. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: running the wiring, installing the transfer switch (manual or automatic), and connecting the generator to your panel so the transition to backup power is clean and safe. The goal is a system that works when the grid does not.
Older homes in the Orem area were wired for a fraction of the electrical load a modern household carries. Add heat tape circuits, an EV charger, updated appliances, and the demand quickly exceeds what an older 100-amp panel was designed to handle. We install 200-amp service upgrades, service-entrance replacements, and subpanel additions to give your home or business the capacity it actually needs. This work also sets the foundation for a clean electrical inspection.
Frozen pipes and roof ice dams are a real winter hazard in this part of Utah, and heat tape is one of the most practical ways to protect against both. We handle the electrical side of the job: running a dedicated circuit, placing the outlet correctly, and wiring the system to operate safely under a sustained load. This is property-protection work, and it needs to be done right the first time.
The homes and wiring in this area have their own quirks, and commercial properties are no different. We work with Orem businesses on office buildouts, tenant improvements, retail electrical installations, warehouse wiring, and new construction rough-in. Whether a space needs a full electrical layout from scratch or targeted upgrades to meet code, we handle the scope.
Pre-purchase and pre-occupancy electrical inspections for commercial properties are part of what we offer too. Before a lease is signed or a sale closes, knowing the condition of the electrical system protects everyone involved. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, because a clean jobsite is part of doing the job well.
Book today. Wired tomorrow. Done by the weekend.
A home electrical inspection covers the panel condition, grounding and bonding, arc-fault and ground-fault breaker function, and the overall state of the wiring throughout the property. For homeowners buying or selling, and for property managers responsible for rental units, an inspection gives you a clear picture of what is there and what needs attention. Code-violation repairs are scheduled as a follow-up when the inspection identifies work that needs to be done.
When you call for a quote, you get a price before anything is scheduled. The rate is confirmed on the call, and you are told exactly what it covers. There is no obligation to move forward until you are comfortable with the scope and the cost.
Same-day and next-day appointments are often available for both repairs and installations. Qualified electricians for every job means the person who shows up is prepared to handle what you are describing, not just assess it. We are open every day from 5:00 AM to 8:30 PM.

Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses across Orem and Utah County. The scope and coordination differ between a home repair and a commercial buildout, but the process starts the same way on either side: a call, a scope, and a rate before anything is scheduled.
A general description of the problem or the work you want done is enough to start. If you can tell us what is happening, where in the home it is happening, and whether it is a repair or a new installation, we can usually give you a rate on the call. If the job needs a closer look first, we will tell you that upfront.
Check the main breaker in your panel first to see if it has tripped to the middle position. If the breaker looks fine or keeps tripping after you reset it, that is a sign of a larger issue that needs a licensed electrician to diagnose. Call (385) 452-6995 and we can usually get someone out the same day to trace the problem.

The most common factors are hidden or inaccessible wiring, older systems that need additional remediation once we open a wall or panel, and permit requirements for certain types of work. If anything changes the scope once we are on site, that conversation happens before the work does. You will know what it costs before we proceed.

| Type of Work | Scope of Work | When You Need It | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backup Generator Installation |
| Homeowners and businesses in Utah County who need power during winter outages | A transfer switch is required. Without one, backfeeding power into the grid is a serious hazard for utility workers and your own equipment. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| Homes with smart devices, home offices, or expensive appliances worth protecting | A single surge event can damage refrigerators, HVAC controls, and anything else plugged in. Panel-level protection catches spikes before they reach your devices. |
| Heat Tape Installation |
| Orem homes with exposed pipes in garages, crawl spaces, or exterior walls | Heat tape on an improperly wired or overloaded circuit is a genuine fire hazard. The electrical side has to be done right. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| Homeowners adding outlets, upgrading kitchens or baths, or replacing worn receptacles | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. We install to current code on every job. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| Homes with frequently tripping breakers or older fuse-based panels | A breaker that trips repeatedly under normal load is a symptom, not just an annoyance. We find out what is causing it. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Anyone adding a major appliance or workshop equipment that needs its own circuit | Running a heavy appliance on a shared circuit causes repeated trips and wears out wiring faster than it should. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| Any homeowner or business with an unexplained electrical problem | We diagnose before we repair, tracing the actual source rather than swapping parts at random. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| Bedrooms, living rooms, and covered outdoor spaces | Ceiling fans require a rated electrical box. We confirm the box is correct before the fan goes up. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| Buyers, landlords, property managers, and anyone whose carrier requires documentation | When an inspection turns up problems, we handle the remediation as well. Permit work is part of the process when the job requires it. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation |
| Older homes with outdated wiring, remodels that open walls, and any project adding new circuits | Knob-and-tube and deteriorated aluminum branch circuits do not meet current code and carry real safety risks. We assess and explain the options before quoting. |
| Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades |
| Older homes being remodeled, homes adding EV chargers, or any property where breakers trip too often | Licensed electricians pull the permits, do the work to code, and see it through inspection. Permit work is part of the job. |
| Lighting Installation |
| Homeowners updating interior or exterior lighting, and businesses upgrading to efficient fixtures | We run new wiring where needed rather than just swapping fixtures, so the result is safe and up to code. |
