When something goes wrong with the power in your home or building, the symptoms are usually clear enough: a breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that stopped working, lights that flicker when the heat kicks on, or a panel that buzzes when the load goes up. What is rarely clear is how serious the problem is or what fixing it actually involves. That uncertainty is where most people get stuck, and it is exactly what a call to us is for. We cover Midvale and the surrounding area, and we handle electrical work for homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings of the kind this city is full of.
Midvale runs a mix of housing stock, from mid-century homes with wiring that has not been touched in decades to newer builds and multi-unit properties where tenant turnover and added circuits are a routine part of keeping things running. Whatever the situation, we handle the work from the first call through the final test.
Call (385) 452-6995 and the scope and price are confirmed before anyone is scheduled.
Scheduling an electrical visit does not have to disrupt a household or a business. When you call, we go through the job on the phone first. That means understanding what you are dealing with, what the work involves, and what it will cost before we set a time. You are not waiting for someone to show up before you find out whether the job is a quick fix or a full-day project.
For problems that will not keep, we take short-notice calls and we are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM. A panel that is running warm, an outlet that sparked and went dead, or half a building without power after a storm are not situations to sit on. Call in the morning. Talk it through. Know the options by the end of the call.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we plan around what cannot be shut down. Most repairs only require isolating the affected circuit, not cutting power to the whole building. Where a full shutdown is unavoidable, we confirm that before the visit so you can plan for it.
The jobs below come up regularly in a city this size, across the range of properties here. Each one starts the same way: a conversation on the phone about what the situation looks like and what the work is likely to involve.
A light that is controlled from two or three locations, like a stairwell or a hallway with switches at both ends, relies on three-way or four-way wiring that is easy to get wrong during a replacement or renovation. When a switch stops working in a multi-location setup, the fault is often in the wiring rather than the switch itself. We trace it back and fix it correctly so every switch in the run does what it is supposed to.
A dead outlet is sometimes a tripped GFCI on a linked circuit. It is sometimes a loose connection at the device. And it is sometimes a wiring fault that has been building for a while. We do not assume which until we have looked at it. Replacement work also covers upgrading standard outlets to GFCI or AFCI-protected devices where code requires it, which in older Midvale homes is often overdue.
Swapping a light fixture for a ceiling fan is not always as simple as it looks. A standard fixture box is not rated to hold the weight and movement of a fan. If the existing box is not fan-rated, we replace it before the fan goes up. We also run new wiring where there is no existing ceiling box, including switch legs where the fan and the light need separate controls.
Recessed lighting is one of the more common upgrades in homes that have been updated room by room over the years. The electrical side involves sizing the circuit for the number of fixtures, running the wiring cleanly through the ceiling, and confirming that each fixture is correctly rated for the insulation contact situation above it. LED retrofits can also reduce the load on an older circuit that was originally sized for incandescent fixtures.
A dryer, electric range, refrigerator, or dishwasher draws more than a shared circuit is designed to carry. When an appliance keeps tripping a breaker or when a new appliance is being added, a dedicated circuit is usually the right answer. We size the circuit to the appliance's requirements, run it from the panel, and install the correct outlet. This also comes up when a home office or workshop needs a circuit that will not be shared with anything else.
Exterior outlets need to be rated for the conditions they sit in. That means weatherproof covers, correct box ratings for damp or wet locations, and GFCI protection at the source. We install outdoor outlets for garages, patios, and exterior walls, and we replace covers and enclosures that have cracked or no longer seal correctly. The circuit feeding an outdoor outlet has to be sized and protected to match the location. Homeowners in Midvale often read our page listing every electrical service before getting in touch.
Most electrical work beyond a simple device replacement requires a permit. Panel replacements, new circuits, service upgrades, and wiring additions generally fall into this category. The permit exists so an inspector can confirm the work meets the code that applies in that jurisdiction, and in Salt Lake County that matters because the code inspectors here enforce it.
We handle the permit filing on jobs that require one. The timing affects the schedule: a permit takes time to process, and the inspection has to happen before the work is closed up in a wall or a ceiling. We factor that into the job timeline on the call.
If you are not sure whether your job needs a permit, ask on the call. We will tell you what typically applies to that kind of work and what the process looks like from there.
Most homeowners can't tell a minor wiring issue from a serious one, and the price reflects that reality. A dead outlet and a panel replacement are not the same scope, and neither are a ceiling fan swap and a full lighting circuit run. The price depends on what the job actually involves, and that is worked out on the call before anything is scheduled.
What moves a quote up or down is usually one of three things: 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 or circuit has the capacity to carry what is being added. A panel that is already at capacity changes the scope of almost any circuit work. A wiring fault that turns out to be behind a finished ceiling adds time that a surface-mounted fault would not.
No-pressure estimates, priced up front. The rate is confirmed before the visit is booked, and if the scope changes once we are in the work, we talk through it before continuing. Nothing moves forward without your agreement on the cost.
Most repairs and installations only require turning off the circuit being worked on. Outlet replacements, switch work, ceiling fan installations, and individual lighting circuits fall into this category. The rest of the property stays live. For a tenant or a business, that usually means the work can happen without interrupting anything beyond the specific area being worked on.
Panel replacements, service upgrades, and work at the service entrance require shutting off the main breaker for part of the visit. The full-house outage is typically measured in hours rather than a full day, but the exact duration depends on the scope of the work. We confirm that on the call so you can plan around it. For businesses or home offices that cannot afford an unplanned outage, knowing the window ahead of time makes the difference.
The person who answers the phone can tell you what the visit involves. If your job requires a main shutoff, we will say so before we schedule, not after we arrive.
We cover Midvale and the neighboring communities throughout this part of Salt Lake County. That includes Murray, White City, Sandy, Cottonwood Heights, and Taylorsville. Residential, rental, and commercial properties across all of them are within our service area. If your address is nearby and you are not sure whether it falls within range, ask on the call.
The report covers what was checked, what was found, and how the findings are prioritized. Conditions that need immediate attention are separated from those that are worth addressing over time. You leave the visit knowing what the system looks like and what the recommended next steps are.
Homes that have not had electrical work done in decades often have panels at or over their original capacity, outlets without GFCI protection in locations where code now requires it, and aluminum branch-circuit wiring that needs remediation at connections and devices. Three-way switch failures and wiring that has been modified without documentation are also common in homes that have changed hands a few times. A diagnostic visit starts at the panel and works outward from there.
Panel replacements, service upgrades, and new circuit runs generally require a permit in this area, though the exact requirements depend on the jurisdiction and the scope of the work. We handle the permit filing on jobs that need one and factor the inspection timeline into the schedule. Call and describe the job, and we will tell you what the permitting process typically looks like for that kind of work.
Most electrical repairs only require isolating the affected circuit, not cutting power to the whole unit or building. We plan around what the tenant needs to keep running and confirm the outage scope before the visit. If the work requires a full shutoff, we give the tenant enough notice to prepare for it.
Electrical faults do not tend to stay the same size. A breaker that trips under normal load, an outlet that feels warm, or a panel that has been full for years are all situations where waiting makes the scope larger and the fix more involved. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
Call (385) 452-6995.
The job is scoped on the phone, the price is confirmed before the visit, and the work is done to the code that applies here. Everything is left tidy when we go.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical services we handle across Midvale 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Well-Pump Circuits |
| Rural and semi-rural properties in Salt Lake County that rely on a well for water supply | A well pump runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Sizing it correctly for the pump's motor load is part of the installation. |
| Backup Generator Installation |
| Midvale homeowners who want power during winter ice storms and wind events | We handle the electrical side: the transfer switch, the circuit, and the wiring. The generator unit is a separate product choice. |
| 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 Midvale 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.
