When a contractor tells you the job is bigger than you expected, a second opinion is worth getting before anything is scheduled. A panel that "needs to be replaced" might need a breaker swap. A wiring problem that sounds like a full rewire might be a single faulty circuit. We go through the job with you on the phone, ask the right questions, and give you a clear picture of what the work actually involves before anyone is booked.
Cedar Hills is a residential town, and the calls we get here reflect that. Homes on original wiring, older panels running more load than they were built for, and projects that started as something simple and turned into something more. Whatever the situation, we scope it on the call and confirm the price before the visit is scheduled.
Call (385) 452-6995 to get started.
Condos and attached homes come with their own set of wiring questions. The panel is often inside the unit, but it is not always easy to find, and the circuits feeding it may pass through common areas or shared infrastructure that is not the owner's to modify. Knowing what is inside the unit and what sits outside it matters before any work begins.
Outlets, switches, fixtures, and the breaker panel itself are all inside the property boundary and are fair game for repair, replacement, or upgrade. GFCI and AFCI protection, recessed lighting, dimmer installation, and dedicated appliance circuits all fall within that scope. We confirm on the call what the job involves and whether it touches anything outside the unit.
If the meter or the service entrance is shared with other units, any work that touches that equipment typically requires coordination with the property manager or HOA before it can proceed. We will tell you what applies to your situation based on what you describe on the call. We do not make that determination for you, but we can tell you what questions to ask so the visit does not run into a wall.
When a problem will not wait, the call gets treated as urgent. A panel that is buzzing and warm, an outlet that sparked and stopped working, or a loss of power to part of the house after a storm are all situations that move to the front of the line. We take short-notice calls and work through what the problem is before the visit is confirmed.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the constraints. That means talking through which circuits need to stay live, what can be isolated without shutting down the whole property, and how to sequence the work so the disruption is as short as possible. The scope is agreed before the visit, not worked out on arrival.
We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM. One call is enough to get the visit booked.
A quote is based on what the job actually involves, and that depends on a few things that are not always visible before the work starts. What the fault turns out to be once the circuit is traced, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing panel can carry the change without an upgrade are the main variables. None of those can be locked down from a description alone, but a call gets us close enough to give you a number that reflects the real job.
When you call, we go through the symptom, the location, and what you have already noticed. That conversation is how we scope the work, and the price comes out of it. You get the figure before anything is scheduled. If the job turns out to be more involved once we are on site, we talk through the updated scope before any additional work continues. Nothing moves forward without your agreement.
The quote covers the electrical work. Patching drywall opened to run a new circuit, painting over a replaced fixture location, or any finish work that follows the electrical is outside our scope and should be planned with the appropriate trade separately. We will tell you on the call what the visit covers so there are no assumptions going in.
No-pressure estimates, priced up front. If you want the longer version, it is on our services page.

The situation here is usually a homeowner who wants to replace a dated fixture, add recessed cans to a room that has none, or switch to LED throughout. The electrical side covers the junction boxes, the circuit load, and whether a dimmer-compatible driver is needed for the fixture chosen. Rooms without existing overhead wiring require a new circuit run, and that is part of what we scope on the call.
A three-way switch controls one fixture from two locations, and the wiring behind it is more involved than a standard single-pole swap. When a switch does not work correctly after a replacement, the traveler wires are usually the cause. We trace the circuit before touching anything so the repair is based on what is actually there, not on what the diagram says should be.
Adding a major appliance, a hot tub, or a table saw to a circuit that was not designed for it is how breakers start tripping under normal use. Each of these loads needs its own dedicated circuit sized to the equipment's draw. We check panel capacity before the circuit is run and confirm the service entrance can carry the added load.
Older homes in this area still have knob-and-tube wiring in places, and it was not designed for the loads a modern household puts on it. It also lacks a grounding conductor, which affects how GFCI protection can be applied and what devices can be safely installed. Replacement can be targeted to a specific circuit or broader depending on what the inspection finds.
These appliances run on 240 volts and need a dedicated circuit sized to the appliance. Replacing a gas range with electric, or moving a dryer to a new location, often means running a new circuit from the panel and installing the correct outlet. We confirm the panel has available capacity before the circuit is quoted.
Smart switches and dimmers have specific wiring requirements that older homes do not always meet. A neutral wire at the switch location is required for most smart switches, and not every switch box has one. We check what is in the box before recommending a product and wire it correctly so the switch functions the way it is supposed to.
On renovations and additions, the order of trades matters more than most homeowners expect. Electrical rough-in has to happen before insulation and drywall. If the framing is already covered, running new circuits means opening walls that were just finished, and that adds cost and time to both trades.
The same applies to exterior work. Conduit paths, junction box locations, and panel capacity all need to be confirmed before a contractor frames around them. A lighting layout that looked straightforward on paper can become a problem when the box location conflicts with a joist or a beam that was not on the plan.
We can talk through the sequencing on the call before the project starts. Knowing what the electrical scope involves early means the other trades can plan around it rather than the other way around. Wiring a home right takes the right tools and a careful hand, and that starts before the first nail goes in.
We cover Cedar Hills and the communities around it throughout Utah County. That includes Highland, Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Alpine, and Lindon. Whether the property is in Cedar Hills or in one of the surrounding towns, the process is the same: scope the job on the call, confirm the price, and schedule the visit.
Lead times depend on the type of work and the current schedule. Smaller repairs can often be scheduled within a day or two. Larger projects typically require more lead time to plan and coordinate.
Call (385) 452-6995 and ask what the current schedule allows for the type of work you need.
Homes that have not had electrical work done in some time tend to show up with panels running near capacity, outlets that lack GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms, and wiring that was not sized for the appliances now connected to it. Knob-and-tube wiring is still present in some older properties in the area, and it requires a different approach than standard branch-circuit work. A diagnostic visit or an inspection will tell you what the system is actually doing and where attention is needed.
Access to ceiling cavities is sometimes necessary for lighting circuits, fan wiring, or runs between floors. We assess what access the job requires and discuss it with you before the work starts. The goal is to use the smallest opening the work allows.
A larger home means more circuits, more potential fault locations, and sometimes more than one panel to assess. On a smaller property, the scope is usually tighter and the diagnostic faster, but the process is the same regardless of size. We go through the layout and the symptom on the call so the visit is planned for what the property actually involves, not for an average job.
When you call, a real person answers. They know the trade, they can scope the job on the phone, and they will give you a price before the visit is confirmed. That is how every job goes, whether it is a single outlet or a panel replacement.
Call (385) 452-6995 every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
Tell us what you are seeing and we will tell you what it involves. Call in the morning. Talk it through. Know the options by the end of the call.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical services we handle across Cedar Hills 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Homeowners adding or replacing a major appliance that requires its own circuit | Planning the circuit before the appliance arrives avoids delays and additional visits once delivery is scheduled. |
| 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 Cedar Hills 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.
