Commercial and light industrial electrical work runs on a different clock than a home repair call. A retail tenant, a warehouse, or a professional office cannot simply shut down for a day while circuits are traced and panels are assessed. Oscar's Electric handles electrical work for businesses in Lehi that need the job done around an operating schedule, whether that means early morning access, phased work across multiple visits, or prioritizing the circuits that feed critical equipment first. The work gets quoted before it gets started, and the scope is confirmed before anyone touches a panel.
On the residential side, the picture is different but the standard is the same. Homes in Lehi range from newer construction with modern panels to older properties that carry a layered wiring history from additions and renovations. Code-compliant wiring on every job is what keeps a property insurable and what makes the next inspection straightforward. Whether we are pulling a permit for a service upgrade or replacing a failed outlet, the work is done to the standard that holds up.
Same-day service is often available in Lehi and the surrounding area. When you call, you get the rate before anything is scheduled, and you find out right then whether we can get someone out that day. For urgent calls, a burning smell near a panel, a circuit that has gone completely dead, or a breaker that will not reset and stay reset, we treat those differently than a planned installation. Tell us what is happening and we will tell you what we can do.
For businesses that have to stay open, we work around the schedule. That might mean confirming which circuits can be isolated without affecting operations, or planning the work in stages so a tenant is never without power to the areas that matter. For rental properties, we coordinate access with whoever is on site. The goal is a job that fits around the people who live or work in the space, not one that forces them to rearrange their day any more than necessary.
Electrical work here gets handled by people who answer to this community. Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
Older homes in this area sometimes still carry knob-and-tube wiring in the walls, the attic, or the basement. That wiring has no ground conductor, was not designed for modern electrical loads, and cannot be safely covered with insulation. Replacing it is not a quick patch job. It means running new wiring through the existing structure, updating the panel connections, and confirming that every circuit meets current code before the walls go back together.
Low-voltage work covers more ground than most people expect. Video doorbells, structured data cabling, access control wiring, and intercom rough-in all fall on the electrical side of the job. We handle the rough-in during new construction or remodel work and can add low-voltage circuits to existing homes where the infrastructure was never put in place.
A panel replacement is one of the most consequential electrical jobs a property goes through. Whether the existing panel is undersized, damaged, or simply at the end of its service life, we assess what is there before anything is quoted. Load calculations tell us what the new panel needs to carry, including any circuits being added at the same time. Qualified electricians for every job means the person doing this work knows what they are looking at.
Grounding and bonding problems do not always announce themselves. An improperly grounded circuit may work fine until a fault occurs, and then the consequences are serious. We identify grounding deficiencies during inspections and repairs, and we correct them to current code. This comes up frequently in older homes and in properties that have been modified over the years without a licensed electrician involved in every phase.
Running power to a detached structure means a separate circuit or subpanel, proper burial depth for underground conduit, and weatherproof connections at both ends. Electric gate operators have their own requirements for dedicated circuits and weatherproof controls. We handle the electrical side of all of it, from the panel to the end point, and we confirm the work is permitted where the scope requires it.
A repair call in Lehi might be a dead outlet on a GFCI circuit that just needs to be reset, or it might be a wiring fault buried inside a wall that takes time to trace. We start with the symptom and work back to the source. Electrical work done to the standard the next inspection expects means we do not stop at the visible problem. If there is something behind it, we find it.
Homes built for a smaller electrical load eventually run out of capacity. When a panel cannot support an EV charger, a new appliance circuit, or a backup generator hookup without tripping, the answer is usually a service upgrade. We run load calculations, confirm the incoming service can support the new panel size, and handle the permit and inspection process. Subpanel installation for a detached garage or a finished basement often comes out of the same conversation. The full breakdown of what each scope involves is on the service page.
Installation work covers a wide range: recessed and LED lighting, dedicated appliance circuits, exterior lighting, aluminum-wiring remediation, EV charger wiring, whole-home surge protection, and heat tape circuits for properties where frozen pipes are a real winter risk. Each one starts with a call to confirm the scope and get a price. Nothing is scheduled until you know what it covers.
For what the job actually entails, the panel and wiring page lays it out.
A property gets rewired for one set of demands and then the demands change. An EV charger gets added. A workshop goes into the garage. A heat tape system goes in across the roofline. Each one draws from the same panel, and a panel that was sized correctly ten years ago may not have the headroom for what is being asked of it now.
We work out whether the existing supply can take the added load before any installation is quoted. That means looking at the panel capacity, what is already running on it, and what the new circuit will draw under normal and peak conditions. If the panel can support it, the circuit gets run. If it cannot, the options are a panel upgrade, a subpanel, or a different approach to the load. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we explain the options before any work is scheduled.
Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, and do not let an undersized panel quietly create one either. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
The price is confirmed on the call, before anything is scheduled. You describe the job, we go over what it involves, and you get a rate that covers the scope as described. If the job changes once we are on site, that conversation happens before the work does. You will know what it costs before we proceed.
What changes a quote is usually what we find once the job is open. A panel replacement that turns up deteriorated wiring at the service entrance, or a circuit run that hits an unexpected obstacle in the wall, may add scope. We do not expand the job without telling you first.
For larger projects, a site visit may be needed before the final scope is confirmed. Call (385) 452-6995 and we will go over what the job involves and what the next step looks like.
We cover Lehi and the surrounding communities throughout this part of Utah County. If you are in Highland, American Fork, Bluffdale, Saratoga Springs, or Draper, we serve those areas too. Call to confirm service at your address. Book today. Wired tomorrow. Done by the weekend.
On larger jobs that involve bringing equipment in and making multiple trips, having a vehicle parked reasonably close to the entry point saves time. If parking at the property is restricted or difficult, mentioning it when you call helps us plan the visit so the job stays on schedule.
Newer construction does not automatically mean the panel was sized for everything a household eventually runs. When EV chargers, large kitchen appliances, and home office equipment all go onto circuits that were planned for a lighter load, the panel runs out of headroom. A load calculation tells us whether the issue is a single overloaded circuit or a panel that needs more capacity overall. Call (385) 452-6995 and we can go over what you are seeing before anything is scheduled.
It is a good idea to keep pets away from the work area while the job is in progress. Open panels, pulled wiring, and tools on the floor are hazards for animals that get underfoot. We do not require it, but most customers find it easier to keep pets in a separate room for the duration.
Permit requirements depend on the scope of the job and the jurisdiction it falls under. We handle permit coordination for the work that requires it, and we confirm what applies at your address before the job is scheduled. Work is performed by licensed electricians and done to the standard an inspection expects. If you have questions about a specific job, ask when you call and you will get a straight answer.
Sometimes, but not always. Where wiring can be routed through an attic, a crawl space, or an accessible wall cavity, we use that path. When there is no accessible route, some ceiling or wall material may need to be opened. We explain what the routing will require before any work begins.
It can. Newer appliances sometimes draw more power than the model they replace, and if the existing circuit is already at its limit, that added draw causes trips or creates a load the wiring was not sized for. We check the circuit capacity against the new appliance's requirements before the work is done.
We handle crawl space and underfloor work as part of standard service. Access to the crawl space entry point needs to be clear, and we go over any known conditions, like standing water or very limited clearance, before the job is scheduled so we can plan the work accordingly.
A documented electrical inspection covering the panel, wiring condition, GFCI and AFCI protection, and any code violations gives a landlord a clear record of the property's condition. We conduct those inspections and can follow up with remediation if the inspection identifies work that needs to be done before the next tenant moves in.
We work around the operating schedule where possible, including scheduling work in sections or during off-hours. The specifics depend on the scope and the layout of the space. We go over the plan before the job starts so the business knows what to expect and when each area will be affected.

| 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 |
| Lehi 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. |
