Expert Electrician Services in Farmington, Utah

Farmington's older ramblers and split-levels often carry original wiring — sometimes aluminum branch circuits, sometimes cloth-insulated cable, usually with too few circuits for modern life. Symptoms pile up gradually: warm outlets, breakers that trip when the microwave and toaster run together, two-prong outlets with no ground. A full or partial rewire replaces the aging conductors with modern copper on properly sized, grounded circuits, adding arc-fault and ground-fault protection where current code requires it. We plan rewires room by room to keep the house livable during the work, and we keep drywall damage to a minimum with careful fishing.

Open an older Farmington panel and you'll often find every space filled, breakers doubled up, and maybe a subpanel that was somebody's weekend project. That panel was sized for a house with one TV and no air conditioning; it was never meant to feed central air, a home office, and an EV charger. We replace undersized and obsolete panels with modern 200-amp service. We correct the sins of the past — double-tapped breakers, mismatched brands — and leave you with labeled, code-compliant capacity, plus spare spaces for whatever comes next.

Plenty of Farmington residents commute to Salt Lake or Ogden, and a Level 2 charger turns the garage into a fueling station overnight. The job starts at the panel: does the service have capacity, and is there a path for the 240-volt run? We handle the load calculation, the circuit installation, the charger mounting, and the permit. Most installations finish in a day, and we set the charger up with you so scheduled charging and any utility rate features actually work as intended.

Farmington basements become home theaters, guest suites, offices, and gyms — each with its own electrical demands. Code requires specific things in finished basements: arc-fault protection on bedroom circuits, GFCI in bathrooms and wet bars, egress lighting, and smoke/CO detection tied into the house system. We wire basement finishes to code from the start, coordinate with your framing and drywall schedule, and make sure the panel has the capacity before the walls close up. Doing it right the first time beats opening finished walls later.

Lights that pulse when the AC starts. A breaker that trips every Thanksgiving. An outlet that works when it feels like it. These are symptoms, and the causes range from loose neutrals to overloaded shared circuits to failing breakers. We diagnose with meters rather than guesses: voltage readings under load, thermal checks of the panel, and a look at how the suspect circuit is actually wired. The fix might be a tightened connection, a redistributed circuit, or a failing breaker — but you'll know which one, and why.

Bench homes sit exposed to canyon winds and lightning, and we've seen single storms take out garage door openers, HVAC boards, and entertainment systems in one strike. A whole-house surge protector at the panel clamps those spikes before they reach your equipment — it's inexpensive insurance for a house full of electronics. We also inspect grounding electrode systems on bench homes, because surge protection only works if the ground path is solid. After any major strike, we can test your system and replace damaged components.
