Kearns carries a housing stock that was built out decades ago, and a lot of what runs behind those walls has not been touched since. That matters when a breaker starts tripping under a load it used to handle, when outlets stop working without an obvious cause, or when a homeowner wants to add a circuit and finds out the panel has no room left. We handle all of it, from a single outlet repair to a full panel replacement, for homes and rental properties across the city.
When you call, a real person answers. That person can talk through what you are seeing, help you understand what the problem is likely to involve, and confirm the price before anything is scheduled. We take calls every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
Call (385) 452-6995 and we will start there.
The price for electrical work is not a flat number that applies to every job. It is built from what the job actually involves, and the only way to get an accurate figure is to talk through the specifics on the call.
What moves a quote is the nature of the fault, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing panel or circuit can carry the change being asked of it. A tripped breaker that resets cleanly is a different scope than one that trips again under the same load. An outlet that stopped working might trace back to a GFCI on a linked circuit, or it might point to a wiring condition that takes longer to find and fix. A new appliance circuit in a kitchen with a full panel is a different job than the same circuit in a panel with capacity to spare.
We go through all of that on the call. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what the work involves and what it costs before anyone is scheduled. Ask what the quote covers and you get a straight answer.
Renovation projects involve more than one trade, and the order matters. Electrical rough-in has to happen after framing is up and before drywall goes on. If the electrician comes in after walls are closed, the job costs more and takes longer because access has to be created rather than used. For an extension or a build-out, the panel capacity question also has to be settled before the other trades are too far in to adjust.
We work with property owners and contractors who are coordinating multiple trades. If you are planning a kitchen renovation, a basement finish, or an addition, the right time to call is before the schedule is set, not after the drywall is ordered. We can scope the electrical side, confirm what the panel can support, and give you a clear picture of when we need to be on site.
The most common problem is a panel that cannot carry the load the renovation adds. A finished basement with a new bathroom, a kitchen with added appliances, or a garage conversion with its own sub-panel all add demand. If that is not assessed before the work starts, the panel upgrade becomes a retrofit job that disrupts finished space. Arc-fault and ground-fault protection requirements also have to be built into the plan from the start, not added after the fact.
We confirm what the existing service can handle before any renovation work is quoted. That is where the job starts.
Some electrical problems cannot be scheduled around. A panel that is buzzing and warm, an outlet that sparked and went dead, or a loss of power to part of the house after a storm are situations that need prompt attention. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM. Call and describe what you are seeing. We will walk through it with you and confirm what the visit will cover.
For rental properties, timing matters in a different way. A tenant without power or a unit that cannot be occupied until an electrical issue is resolved creates pressure to move quickly. We handle those calls the same way: scope the job on the call, confirm the price, and get out as soon as the schedule allows.
For businesses and occupied rentals, we plan the work around what the space needs to keep running. That means talking through which circuits will be off and for how long before the visit starts, and working in stages where the job allows it. We do not consider the visit complete until the final test is done and everything is confirmed working.
Some electrical work is straightforward to reach. Some of it is not. Attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities in older Kearns homes can be tight, insulated over, or difficult to access without more preparation than the job itself takes. Tall ceilings and vaulted spaces add a different set of considerations around fixture and fan installation.
None of that changes what the job involves. It does change how long it takes and what equipment is needed to do it safely. We talk through access on the call so the visit is planned for what is actually there, not for an idealized version of it. If a crawl space is the only path to a wiring run, we know that before we arrive.
Exterior work has its own set of requirements. Weatherproof boxes, conduit rated for outdoor use, and GFCI protection at the source are not optional on exterior circuits. Security lighting, landscape lighting, and soffit fixtures all have to be installed to hold up to the conditions they will live in. If you are still deciding, our page of electrical services may help.
A three-way switch that stops working correctly is one of those faults that looks simple and turns out not to be. The wiring runs through multiple boxes, and a fault anywhere in that run can produce the same symptom at the switch. We trace the circuit rather than replacing parts until something works. Multi-location switching in larger rooms or along a hallway follows the same diagnostic approach.
A panel that is out of space, running double-tapped breakers, or simply too old to be reliable is the starting point for a lot of the panel work we do in this area. We assess the existing service entrance, run a load calculation, and size the replacement for what the home actually draws now and what is likely to be added. Breaker replacement on its own is a shorter job when the panel itself is sound. When the panel needs to go, we handle the full replacement including the service entrance if that is part of what needs updating.
A Level 2 EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Before anything is installed, we check the panel for available capacity and confirm the service entrance can carry the added load. The charger can be hardwired or connected through a correctly rated outlet depending on the setup. Both require a dedicated circuit run from the panel, and both start with the same panel assessment.
Dryers, electric ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves each draw enough load to warrant their own circuit. A shared circuit that trips under appliance load is often the first sign that a dedicated run is overdue. We size the circuit to the appliance's requirements and install the correct outlet. For a new appliance going into a space that does not have the right circuit yet, the time to call is before the appliance is delivered.
Knob-and-tube wiring lacks a grounding conductor and was not designed for the loads a modern household puts on it. Older homes in Kearns still have it in some areas, and it becomes a problem when additional load is placed on circuits that were never meant to carry it. Replacement is typically done in sections or room by room, depending on what the rest of the wiring looks like and what the renovation or repair scope requires.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring from several decades ago creates risk primarily at connections where aluminum meets devices rated for copper only. Remediation means addressing each outlet, switch, and fixture connection with approved methods. We assess the full scope before quoting so the work is not piecemeal. A safety inspection is often the right starting point when aluminum wiring is present and has not been looked at recently.
We take calls from across Kearns and into the surrounding communities throughout Salt Lake County. That includes West Valley City, Taylorsville, West Jordan, Murray, and Midvale. If your address is in the area and you are not sure whether it falls within the range we cover, ask on the call.
The work is the same regardless of which part of the county it is in: scoped on the call, priced before the visit, and done to the code that applies at that address. Electrical safety inspections, backup generator hookups, whole-home surge protection, and GFCI and AFCI upgrades are all available across the full service area.
Yes, and we plan around it. Before the visit, we confirm which circuits will need to be off and for how long, so the tenant knows what to expect and the disruption is as short as possible. For repairs that affect the whole unit, we work in stages where the job allows it.
Call (385) 452-6995 and describe the situation so we can scope the visit with the tenant's schedule in mind.
Older homes were wired for lighter loads and often lack the grounding, arc-fault protection, and panel capacity that current use demands. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, and panels that have not been updated in decades are all more common in older housing stock. A safety inspection is often the clearest way to find out what the system is actually doing and where attention is needed.
Call (385) 452-6995 and we can talk through what an inspection covers before you schedule.
Yes. A general electrical inspection is a service we offer, and it does not require a specific fault to trigger it. Buyers, sellers, landlords, and owners of older properties all have good reasons to want a broad look at the system. We document what we find and walk through it with you.
On multi-day jobs, we restore power to the circuits that are complete and safe at the end of each day. We do not leave a property without power overnight unless the work genuinely requires it, and we discuss the plan with you before the job starts.
Electrical faults do not usually resolve on their own. A breaker that trips once and resets cleanly is worth watching. One that trips again under the same load, or that trips without an obvious cause, is worth a call. The diagnostic starts on the phone, and we can often tell you what the visit is likely to involve before anyone comes out.
Call (385) 452-6995 every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
We will go through the job, confirm the price, and get someone out as quickly as the schedule allows.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical services we handle across Kearns and Salt Lake 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lighting Installation |
| Homeowners updating interior lighting or adding exterior security and landscape fixtures | Outdoor fixtures need weatherproof boxes and GFCI protection at the source, not just a standard interior setup. |
| 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. |
| 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 Kearns 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.
