Oscar's Electric provides electrical work for homeowners, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Orem and the broader Utah County area. Whether you need a single outlet replaced or a full panel upgrade, we send licensed electricians to handle the job from start to finish. We are available every day from 5:00 AM to 8:30 PM, so there is a real window to reach us when something goes wrong or when you are ready to schedule work you have been putting off. Local electricians. Safe wiring. Honest quotes.
Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, because what starts as a flickering light or a tripped breaker can point to something that needs attention sooner rather than later. Dead outlets, circuits that keep tripping, lights that flicker under load, and outlets that stopped working after a storm are all calls we take regularly in Orem. We diagnose the problem, explain what we find, and get it fixed without making it more complicated than it needs to be.
Part of that work involves checking for proper GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and garage spaces, and AFCI protection on bedroom circuits where code requires it. These are not add-ons. They are part of doing the work right. Electrical work done to the standard the next inspection expects is what we aim for on every visit. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
Older homes in Utah County were built when household electrical demand was a fraction of what it is today. A panel sized for a 1970s or 1980s home was not designed to carry a modern kitchen, a home office, an EV charger, and a washer and dryer all at once. When breakers trip repeatedly or you are adding circuits that the existing panel cannot support, a service upgrade is the practical answer.
We handle 200-amp panel upgrades, service panel replacements, and subpanel installations for garages, workshops, and accessory structures. Load calculations are part of the process, so the new panel is sized for what you actually need, not just what fits the old footprint. We'll have your outlets working again in no time.
The homes and wiring in this area have their own quirks, and knowing what to expect when we open a panel or pull a cover plate changes how the work gets done. Orem has a mix of housing built across several decades, and the electrical systems inside reflect that range. Older properties sometimes still carry knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuits, both of which require specific handling rather than a generic approach.
Knob-and-tube replacement and aluminum wiring remediation are work we do regularly here, and the approach depends on the scope: a partial update for a remodel, a full rewire for a home being brought up to current standards, or targeted repairs where the rest of the system is sound. Wiring for additions, basement finishes, and remodel rough-ins follows the same principle: code-compliant wiring on every job, sized and routed for how the space will actually be used.
Your home deserves wiring that's safe and up to code, and that applies to something as straightforward as adding an outlet in the right place or replacing a switch that has stopped working reliably. We install outlets throughout the home, including GFCI outlets in wet areas and AFCI outlets where required, along with dimmer switches, standard light switches, and specialty controls.
Lighting work covers both indoor and outdoor installations. Recessed lighting in living spaces, under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, exterior fixtures, security and motion sensor lights, and landscape lighting are all part of what we handle. Each installation is wired to carry the load cleanly, with qualified electricians for every job. Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Calling an electrician doesn't have to be stressful, even for the practical jobs that often get delayed: a ceiling fan that needs a proper switch leg, a dryer outlet that needs to move, or a new range that requires a 240-volt circuit. These are straightforward jobs when the wiring is handled correctly, and they matter for both safety and appliance performance.
We install ceiling fans and handle the wiring where no existing switch leg or box is present. Dedicated circuits for dryers, ranges, refrigerators, microwaves, washers, and other major appliances are part of our regular work across Orem and Utah County. If you are adding an appliance or relocating one, a dedicated circuit keeps it from competing with the rest of your electrical load.
The price and the scope are settled before any work is scheduled. When you call, we go over what the job involves and give you a rate that covers it. That same number is the one to call if you have questions before or after the visit. There is nothing left open to interpret later, and nothing to negotiate at the door. The electrician who shows up knows what was agreed, and so do you.
From older homes to new commercial builds, the electrical demands on a property have shifted, and the infrastructure needs to keep up. Level 2 EV charger installation is one of the more common requests we handle now for Orem homeowners, and the process starts with confirming the panel has the capacity to support it. Where it does not, a panel upgrade is part of the conversation before the charger goes in.
Backup generator hookups and transfer switch installation give a property a way to stay powered when the grid does not cooperate. Whole-home surge protection is a simpler addition that protects appliances, electronics, and HVAC equipment from voltage spikes that arrive without warning. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we leave the space the way we found it.
Electrical work here gets handled by people who answer to this community. That includes inspections for homes going on the market, rental properties that need to meet local habitability standards, and properties where code violations have been flagged and need to be addressed. A safety inspection gives you a clear picture of what the system looks like and what, if anything, needs attention.
We also handle hardwired smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector installation, permit work, and code violation repairs. If an inspector has flagged something or a buyer's agent has raised a concern, we can assess what it takes to bring the system into compliance and get the work on the schedule. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
From older homes to new commercial builds, the electrical needs of a property depend on how it is used and what it is expected to carry. Property managers, landlords, office tenants, and retail operators in Utah County call us for commercial electrical repair, new construction wiring, tenant improvement electrical, and build-out work. The work is the same in terms of standards. The scope and the coordination differ.
We handle commercial electrical repair when something stops working, and we handle new installation when a space is being built out or reconfigured. If you manage multiple properties and need electrical work handled consistently, the process starts the same way it does for any job: a call, a scope, a rate, and a scheduled visit.
Outdoor outlet installation, weatherproof outlet installation, and garage wiring round out the picture for homeowners who need electrical work beyond the main living space. Workshop circuits, bathroom exhaust fan installation, and electrical disconnect installation are all jobs we handle without making them into a larger project than they need to be.
Utah County winters put real demands on electrical systems, and we also handle heat tape installation and garage circuits designed for block heaters and cold-weather equipment. Where a well pump or a dedicated appliance circuit is part of the property, we wire it to the load it actually carries. Electrical work done to the standard the next inspection expects is what goes into every one of these jobs.
The rate is given on the call, before anything is scheduled. You find out what the job covers and what it costs, and you decide from there. Same-day service is often available in Orem and the surrounding Utah County area, so if something has stopped working and you need it looked at today, it is worth calling to check availability. We are available every day from 5:00 AM to 8:30 PM.
There is no guessing about what the quote covers. Ask what is included and you get a straight answer. If the scope changes once we are on site, that conversation happens before the work does, not after. Book today. Wired tomorrow. Done by the weekend.

The work is performed by licensed electricians working in the Orem and Utah County area. The person who shows up is prepared to handle the job that was described on the call, not just assess it. We send qualified electricians for every job, whether it is a single outlet repair or a full panel upgrade.
We work with homeowners, renters coordinating with their landlords, property managers, landlords, and commercial clients including small businesses, office tenants, and retail operators. The work ranges from single repairs to full rewires and commercial buildouts. If you have an electrical need in Orem or the broader Utah County area, the process starts the same way regardless of customer type.
When you call, we go over what the job involves and give you a rate that covers it. The price and the scope are settled before anything is scheduled. If the scope changes once we are on site, that conversation happens before the work does, not after.
The homes and wiring in this area have their own quirks, and the electricians working here know what to expect. Orem has a mix of housing built across several decades, and older properties sometimes carry knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuits. Knowing what to look for when opening a panel or pulling a cover plate changes how the work gets done, and that local familiarity is part of every visit.
If the scope changes or something unexpected turns up once work is underway, the electrician will stop and explain what was found before proceeding. You are not presented with a different bill at the end of a visit. The rate and the scope are confirmed before the job starts, and any change to either is a conversation first.
Same-day service is often available in Orem and Utah County. When you call (385) 452-6995 during our hours, we go over the job and check the schedule. We are open every day from 5:00 AM to 8:30 PM, so there is a real window to reach us when something goes wrong or when you are ready to book.
We diagnose before we quote. That means identifying the actual source of the problem rather than recommending work based on what is easiest to sell. If there is additional work worth doing, we will point it out and explain why, but nothing gets added to the scope without your agreement first.
Having a clear description of what is happening and where in the home it is located helps us give you an accurate rate on the call. Clearing access to the panel, the affected outlets, or the work area before the electrician arrives saves time on site. Beyond that, the electrician handles the rest and will walk you through what was done when the job is complete.
