What we do
Electrical services
The work most homes and businesses actually need, done by the same person who answers the phone. If your job is not on this list, call and ask.
EV charger installs
A dedicated circuit and a properly mounted charger, sized to your car and to what the panel can carry.

Breakers that trip, outlets that quit, lights that flicker. We find the cause instead of swapping parts.
Request a quoteRemodels and basements
Rough in and finish wiring that keeps pace with your build, so electrical never holds up an inspection.

How the work is done
Electrical work done carefully
From the panel to the final fixture, every part of the job should be safe, clean and ready for inspection.
Correct materials
The right wire, breaker and box for the job, not whatever was on the van.
Clean routing
Tidy runs and careful drywall cuts, because the finish is what you look at every day.
Permits when required
Pulled where the work needs them, so the job is inspection ready rather than hidden.
Tested before we leave
Circuits checked under load, not just switched on and assumed good.
Site left clean
Offcuts, dust and packaging gone. You should not be able to tell where we worked.
Explained in plain terms
What was done, what changed, and anything worth keeping an eye on.

Common questions
Questions we get asked
Straight answers on what we handle, how soon, and how the work runs.
How soon can you look at it?
Call or text and you get a real answer the same day, not a callback promise. Many quotes can be handled from photos without a visit, which is the fastest way to get moving.
Do I need a permit in Salt Lake City?
Most work beyond swapping a fixture does, and panel upgrades, new circuits and service changes always do. Permitted work gets inspected, which protects you when you sell or file a claim. We tell you up front.
Can you install an EV charger?
Usually yes. It comes down to spare capacity in your panel and how far the charger sits from it. If the panel is full, an upgrade may need to happen first, and we tell you that before you buy anything.
Do you work with contractors?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We schedule the rough in and the finish around your other trades so electrical is never the reason an inspection slips.
What does a panel upgrade cost?
It depends on the amperage you are going to, the condition of the service coming in, and whether the utility has to be involved. Send a photo of the inside of your panel and the label on the main breaker and you will get a real number back quickly.
