When something goes wrong with the wiring in a home or a rental property in American Fork, the question is always the same: what is actually causing it, and what does it take to fix it. We handle that from the first call. The job gets scoped on the phone, the price gets confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the work gets done to code.
Call (385) 452-6995 to get started.
American Fork is a city where the housing stock spans several decades, and the electrical systems in those homes reflect that. Older panels that were never upgraded, circuits added without documentation, and wiring that was installed before current code requirements all show up regularly in the work we do here. Landlords, homeowners, and commercial property managers all call for different reasons, but the process is the same for all of them.
When a property changes hands or a new tenant moves in, the electrical system is one of the things that gets looked at. An inspection visit covers the panel condition, breaker function, grounding and bonding, outlet protection, and visible wiring. What we find gets documented. That record matters when a buyer wants to know what they are getting, when a landlord needs to show a property is safe before a lease starts, or when a seller wants to get ahead of questions that will come up in due diligence.
We handle inspection visits for properties across American Fork. The scope is confirmed on the call before the visit is booked, so whoever is coordinating the inspection knows what will be checked and what the report will cover. If the inspection turns up something that needs attention, we can quote the repair work at the same time. That keeps the process from turning into two separate visits when one would do.
The price is confirmed on the call, before anything is scheduled. That means the person arranging the work knows what it will cost before anyone comes out. Call in the morning. Talk it through. Know the options by the end of the call.
What moves a quote from one number to another comes down to three things. The first is what the fault actually turns out to be, because a symptom on the surface does not always match what is happening in the wiring behind it. The second is what has to be opened up or accessed to reach the problem. The third is whether the existing panel and circuit can carry whatever change is being made, or whether the panel needs attention before the new work can be added.
We do not offer estimates that leave those questions open. The scope gets settled on the call based on what you describe, and if the job turns out to be more involved than it looked, we talk through the updated scope and cost before continuing. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer.
The gap between tenants is the easiest time to do electrical work that would otherwise mean working around someone's schedule, their furniture, and their need to keep the lights on. When a unit is vacant, access is straightforward and the work can move at its own pace.
A panel replacement or a circuit run that would mean shutting off power to an occupied unit for several hours is a much simpler job in an empty property. The breaker can stay off as long as the work requires. Walls can be opened where they need to be. The work gets done properly without the coordination that a tenant's schedule would otherwise require.
A vacant unit is also the right time to walk the wiring and confirm what the property is actually running on. Aluminum wiring, ungrounded outlets, missing GFCI protection, and panels that are near capacity all show up during a pre-tenancy inspection. Finding them before a new lease starts is easier and less disruptive than finding them after.
Access is arranged through whoever manages the property. If a landlord is coordinating remotely, we work through the contact they provide. The process is confirmed on the call.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM. When a problem will not keep, that range covers most of the situations that come up. A panel that is buzzing and warm, an outlet that sparked and stopped working, or a partial power loss after a storm are all situations that call for prompt attention rather than a wait.
For commercial properties, the timing of electrical work matters. A circuit that needs to be shut down during business hours is a different problem than one that can be addressed before opening or after closing. We talk through the scheduling on the call and confirm what is realistic before anything is booked.
When work is happening in an occupied property, the tenant needs to know what is being shut off and for how long. We confirm that detail on the call and again before the visit. To see how it all fits together, read the page listing our electrical services.
Who books the visit and who receives the invoice are often different people on a rental property, and that is a straightforward arrangement. The landlord or property manager books the work, confirms the scope and the price, and receives the invoice. Access to the unit is coordinated through them.
After the work is done, the landlord has a record of what was done, what was found, and what the system looks like now. That documentation matters when a property is sold, when a tenant raises a question about the electrical system, or when a future inspection comes up. We do not consider the visit complete until the final test is done and the work is confirmed correct.
Nothing is left open-ended on the booking side. The scope is settled on the call, the price is confirmed, and the visit is scheduled once both are agreed. That keeps the process clean for landlords who are managing multiple properties and need to know exactly what each visit covers.
American Fork is a city with a mix of residential properties, rental units, and commercial buildings, and the electrical work those properties generate covers a consistent set of job types. Each one below comes out of a specific situation rather than a catalog.
A welder, an air compressor, or a piece of shop equipment draws more current than a standard household circuit is built for. Running a dedicated circuit sized for the equipment's actual load is the right starting point. We calculate the load, size the breaker and wire correctly, and run the circuit from the panel to where the equipment operates.
An outdoor outlet that was not installed with a weatherproof enclosure and a GFCI-protected circuit is a problem waiting to develop. We install exterior outlets with the correct covers and protection for their location, whether that is a garage wall, a patio, a detached structure, or along a roofline where heat tape needs a power source.
Swapping a light fixture for a ceiling fan is not always a straightforward swap. A standard junction box is not rated for the weight and movement a fan puts on it. We confirm the box, upgrade it if needed, and handle the wiring from the switch to the fixture. Where there is no existing wiring in the ceiling, we run the circuit.
A panel with unlabeled breakers or breakers labeled in a way that no longer matches the circuits is a practical problem every time someone needs to shut off a specific circuit. We trace and label each breaker accurately. That documentation is useful for the property owner and for anyone working on the property afterward.
A dryer, an electric range, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher each need a circuit that serves only that appliance. Sharing a circuit with other loads is how breakers trip under normal use. We run the dedicated circuit, install the correct outlet, and size the breaker to match what the appliance draws.
Exterior lighting covers a range of situations: a motion sensor light over a garage, recessed soffit lights, landscape fixtures along a path, or security lighting at the perimeter of a commercial property. Each installation requires weatherproof wiring, correctly rated fixtures, and GFCI protection at the source. We handle the circuit and the installation together.
We cover American Fork and the surrounding communities throughout Utah County. That includes Pleasant Grove, Cedar Hills, Highland, Lindon, and Lehi. If the property is in one of those areas and you are not sure whether it falls within the range we cover, ask on the call.
The same process applies across all of them. The scope is confirmed before the visit. The price is settled before anything starts. The work is done to the code that applies in this area.
Older homes in the area were wired for a fraction of the load a modern household draws, and the panels, circuits, and wiring materials reflect that. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring, ungrounded outlets, and panels without room for additional breakers are all more common in homes built before the 1980s. An inspection visit identifies what the system is actually running on and what, if anything, needs attention before more load is added.
Yes. Common-area lighting, outlets, and panel work in multi-unit residential or commercial buildings are part of what we handle. The scope is confirmed on the call, including which circuits serve common areas and which serve individual units.
If you manage multiple properties and need work done across several of them, call us and we will discuss how to handle the scheduling and billing in a way that works for the volume of work involved. We scope each property individually since the work at each address is its own job.
Rental properties here tend to show the same set of recurring issues: panels that are at or near capacity, outlets that lack GFCI protection in locations where code requires it, and circuits that were added over the years without documentation or proper labeling. Pre-tenancy inspections catch most of these before a new lease starts.
Call (385) 452-6995 and we can walk through what an inspection covers for your property type.
The electrical side is our work. Running the dedicated circuit, installing the disconnect, and confirming the panel has capacity for the load are all electrical tasks we handle. The heating or cooling equipment itself, including installation and servicing of the unit, is a separate trade. We handle what feeds the unit, not the unit itself.
The person who answers the phone can tell you what the visit involves. That is where the process starts, and it is where the price gets settled. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical services we handle across American Fork and Utah County. Each row covers what the work involves, who it fits best, and one practical note worth knowing before you call. If a job spans more than one category, we scope it together on the phone so nothing gets missed.
| Service | What's Included | When You Need It | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiring & Rewiring |
| Older American Fork homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or major renovation projects | Aluminum branch-circuit wiring creates risk primarily at connections where it meets devices rated for copper only. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| Homeowners upgrading protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoor locations | GFCI protection is a code requirement in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and all exterior locations, not just a nice-to-have. |
| Electrical Panel & Service Upgrades |
| Homes adding an EV charger, heat tape circuits, or major appliances that push a 100-amp panel past its limit | Older American Fork homes are often still on 100-amp service, which was sized for a fraction of the load that modern appliances, EV chargers, and heat tape circuits now demand. |
Call (385) 452-6995 between 6:30 AM and 10:00 PM any day of the week and we will go through your job with you, confirm the scope, and give you a price before anything is scheduled.
