Keeping Your Home Powered Safely
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Your electrical panel is the hub of your home's power. An outdated or undersized panel can't safely handle the demands of modern appliances, EV chargers, or smart-home systems.
Signs you may need a panel upgrade:
- Breakers that trip frequently
- Buzzing, crackling, or burning smells near the panel
- Warm or discolored panel surface
- Not enough circuits for a remodel, hot tub, or EV charger
Our electricians replace outdated panels with modern, properly rated systems that deliver consistent, safe power throughout your home — and bring everything up to current code.
Whole-Home Rewiring
Homes built several decades ago may still have aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube wiring. Both can pose serious fire and safety hazards because they weren't designed for today's electrical loads.
Our team removes unsafe wiring, replaces outdated components, and ensures every circuit is properly connected. Beyond safety, a full rewire can increase your property value and help you pass a home inspection without surprises.
Generator Installation & Service
Idaho winters bring heavy snow; summers bring storms. Either can knock out power for hours — or longer. A standby generator keeps your lights, HVAC, and essential appliances running no matter what.
American Rooter & Drain handles:
- Sizing and selection — we help you choose the right generator for your home's needs
- Installation — including an automatic transfer switch so power switches over seamlessly
- Maintenance and repair — so your generator is ready when you actually need it
Routine Electrical Maintenance
Small electrical issues rarely announce themselves before they become expensive or dangerous. Routine inspections catch problems early — loose connections, corroded breakers, overloaded circuits — before they escalate into emergencies.
Our maintenance visits include wiring checks, circuit load testing, and a full panel inspection to confirm everything is code-compliant and operating safely.
Why Hire a Licensed Electrician?
Electrical work isn't a DIY project. Improper wiring can void homeowner's insurance, fail inspections, and create real fire or shock hazards. Our electricians stay current with Idaho and national electrical codes, so every job — big or small — is done safely and legally.
When you call American Rooter & Drain, you get:
- Licensed and insured electricians
- Honest, upfront pricing before any work begins
- Quality materials and clean workmanship
- A team that treats your home with the same care they'd give their own
