When something goes wrong with the wiring in a Murray home or rental, the first question is usually the same: how fast can someone be out, and what is it going to cost. We handle electrical repairs, panel work, circuit installation, lighting, and more across Murray and the surrounding area. The price is confirmed before the visit is scheduled, not after someone is already on the property.
Call (385) 452-6995 and a real person picks up.
The person who answers the phone can tell you what the visit involves. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM, and we take short-notice calls when the situation will not keep.
Most people want a number before they commit to anything, and that is exactly how we work. When you call, we go through the job on the phone. What the symptom is, where it is showing up, and what the circuit or panel looks like from what you can see are all part of that conversation. From there, the price is confirmed before the visit is booked.
What moves a quote is usually one of three things. The fault itself matters, because a dead outlet that traces back to a tripped GFCI is a different job than one that traces back to a wiring fault inside the wall. What has to be opened up to reach the problem changes the scope. And whether the existing panel or circuit can carry what is being added affects whether the work is a simple installation or whether it starts at the panel first.
No-pressure estimates, priced up front, means you know what the job involves before you agree to anything. If the work turns out to be more involved than the call suggested, we talk through the updated scope before continuing. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer.
A panel that was sized for a lighter load does not always announce the problem clearly. Sometimes it is a breaker that trips under normal use. Sometimes it is lights that dim when a large appliance kicks on. Sometimes it is a homeowner who wants to add an EV charger or a dedicated circuit for a new appliance and finds out the panel has no room left.
The first step is a load calculation. That tells us what the panel is currently being asked to carry and whether the service entrance can support what is being added. If the panel is at capacity, the options range from a subpanel to distribute load across part of the structure, to a full service upgrade that replaces the panel and brings the service entrance up to current requirements.
A subpanel makes sense when the main panel is full but the service entrance can carry the added load. It distributes circuits to a specific area of the property, such as a garage, a basement workshop, or a finished addition, without requiring a full panel replacement. We size the subpanel to the actual load it will carry and run the feeder from the main panel to the new location.
Older Salt Lake County homes sometimes have a service entrance that was never upgraded to match the panel inside. A 200-amp panel fed by an undersized service entrance does not actually deliver 200 amps. When the two do not match, a service-entrance upgrade is part of the same project. We assess both before quoting the work so the price reflects what the property actually needs.
Scheduling depends on the type of work and what the current calendar allows. Smaller jobs, like an outlet replacement, a ceiling fan installation, or a GFCI circuit that needs attention, can often be booked within a day or two. Larger projects, like a panel upgrade or a rewiring scope, take more lead time to plan and confirm.
When a problem will not keep, we take short-notice calls. A panel that is warm and buzzing, an outlet that sparked and stopped working, or a partial power loss that points to something at the service entrance are all situations where waiting is not the right answer.
Call (385) 452-6995, describe what you are seeing, and we will tell you what the visit involves and what the schedule allows.
For tenants and businesses that cannot have the power off for an extended period, we work in stages where the job allows it. The scope of what that looks like for a specific property gets worked out on the call before anything is scheduled. One call is enough to get the visit booked. The parts people usually ask about are covered on the electrical services page.
Outdoor lighting work is not the same job as swapping a fixture inside. Boxes and connections exposed to weather require weatherproof covers and fittings rated for the location. Landscape lighting runs on low-voltage circuits that still need a properly placed and protected transformer. Security lights and motion sensors often need a dedicated circuit or a connection to an existing outdoor circuit that can carry the added load. We confirm the circuit capacity and the box rating before any exterior fixture goes up.
The electrical side of a generator installation covers the transfer switch, the circuit from the panel to the connection point, and the interlock or automatic transfer equipment that keeps the generator from feeding back onto the utility line. We size the circuit and the transfer equipment to match the load the generator is expected to carry, and we confirm panel capacity before scheduling. The generator unit itself is outside our scope. We wire it so it runs safely when it needs to.
A dedicated circuit means one circuit from the panel to one device, with nothing else sharing it. Dryers, electric ranges, refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves each have their own draw requirements, and the circuit has to be sized to match. Running a 240-volt circuit for a range or a 20-amp circuit for a refrigerator is straightforward when it is planned before the appliance arrives. When an appliance is already in place and the circuit feeding it is shared or undersized, we trace what is there and quote the correction.
A standard outlet replacement is usually a short visit. GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and exterior locations are a code requirement, and AFCI protection on bedroom circuits adds a layer of fault detection that older wiring does not have on its own. Dimmer switch installation, USB outlet upgrades, and replacing outlets that have worn contacts or show signs of heat are all part of the same category of work. We test polarity, grounding, and protection function before the visit closes.
Multifamily properties in a city this size come with their own set of considerations. The panel serving a unit is sometimes inside the unit and sometimes in a shared electrical room or corridor. When part of the electrical service is shared across units, the work inside one unit stops at the boundary of what that tenant or owner controls. Anything on the shared side belongs to the building's electrical system, and questions about that go to the property manager or the building owner before any work is scoped.
For the circuits and devices inside the unit itself, the process is the same as in a single-family home. We identify what the panel can carry, confirm what protection is in place, and quote the work based on what the unit actually needs. GFCI and AFCI protection in older multifamily buildings is worth checking, since many units were wired before either requirement applied. An electrical safety inspection can give a landlord or property manager a clear picture of what the system is doing and where attention is needed.
Dead outlets usually have a simple cause worth finding. But in a building where circuits run through shared spaces, the cause is not always inside the unit. We work out which side of the line the fault is on before quoting the fix.
We cover Murray and the surrounding communities throughout the area. That includes Midvale, Taylorsville, Holladay, South Salt Lake, and Millcreek, along with other addresses in Salt Lake County. If your property is nearby and you are not sure whether it falls within the area we cover, ask on the call.
The work is the same regardless of which side of a city line the property sits on. Repairs, panel work, lighting, generator hookups, and circuit installation are all handled the same way. The scope is confirmed on the call, the price is settled before the visit is scheduled, and the work is done to the code that applies at that address.
Outlets and lighting fixtures are often on separate circuits, so a fault that kills the outlets in a room can leave the lights on. The most common cause is a tripped GFCI outlet protecting a chain of outlets downstream, but a failed breaker or a wiring fault at a junction point can produce the same result. We trace the circuit to find where the fault is before recommending a fix.
Older properties often have wiring from multiple eras, each with its own materials and methods. We assess what is present before recommending any work and explain what each type of wiring means for the scope. The goal is a system that functions safely under the current load, not necessarily one that is uniform throughout.
Older multifamily buildings in this area often have panels that were never upgraded to handle modern electrical loads, and GFCI or AFCI protection that is missing or not functioning correctly. Shared circuits between units are another common source of confusion when an outlet stops working or a breaker trips. We trace the fault to the right side of the property line before quoting any repair.
Permit requirements depend on the type and scope of the work, and the rules can differ between a city and the surrounding county. Panel replacements, new circuit installations, and service-entrance upgrades typically require a permit, while straightforward repairs and device replacements often do not. We confirm what applies to your specific job before scheduling so nothing is left open.
Electrical faults do not usually fix themselves, and a panel that is running at the edge of its capacity does not get more headroom on its own.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical services we handle across Murray 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| Properties where a breaker trips repeatedly or a fuse panel is still in service | A breaker that trips repeatedly is flagging a condition worth investigating, not just a nuisance to reset. |
| 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 Murray 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. |
| Snow-Melt System Wiring |
| Murray properties with driveways, walkways, or entry areas where ice accumulation is a recurring winter problem | Snow-melt systems draw a substantial continuous load. The circuit has to be sized for that draw before the system is connected. |
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.
