Residential electrical service in Boise

Boise is home to a wide range of housing — from historic homes in the North End and Hyde Park built in the early 1900s, to mid-century neighborhoods near Boise State, to modern builds in Southeast Boise and the Barber Valley. Each era of construction comes with its own wiring style, panel type, and set of common electrical issues.

Owner Sam has worked in thousands of Boise homes over 12 years in the trade. He knows the knob-and-tube wiring found in the oldest neighborhoods, the aluminum wiring common in 1960s and 70s builds, and the modern requirements for new construction. That local knowledge means faster diagnostics, cleaner installs, and honest advice about what your home actually needs.

Common electrical work in Boise homes

• Panel upgrades — Many older Boise homes still have 100-amp or even 60-amp panels that can't keep up with modern electrical demands.
• Lighting installations — From recessed lighting in kitchens to exterior fixtures and landscape lighting throughout Boise's established neighborhoods.
• Outlet and switch upgrades — Adding GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, USB outlets, and replacing outdated two-prong receptacles.
• Dedicated circuits — Running new circuits for EV chargers, hot tubs, home offices, and kitchen appliances.
• Electrical troubleshooting — Diagnosing flickering lights, tripping breakers, and other issues common in aging Boise-area homes.
