Question Answers

My home's electrical panel feels warm. Is this a common issue in Salt Lake City, and what should I do?

Yes, panel overheating is a frequent concern in our area, especially in older homes now running more appliances and electronics. A warm panel can indicate overloaded circuits, loose connections, or outdated components—serious fire hazards. We recommend immediately scheduling an electrical inspection. Our experts at Murphy Family Electric will assess your panel's health, perform any necessary panel repair or upgrade, and ensure your Salt Lake City home's electrical system is safe and up to current code.

An outdoor outlet stopped working after winter. Can this be repaired, and how do you prevent future freeze damage?

Absolutely. Winter freeze damage to outdoor outlets is very common along the Wasatch Front due to moisture seeping in and expanding. We can repair or replace the faulty outlet and wiring. More importantly, we install weatherproof, in-use outlet covers designed for Utah's climate to seal out snow, rain, and ice. This repair, combined with proper outdoor wire installation techniques, protects your home and prevents the issue from recurring next season.

I'm considering an electric vehicle. What's involved in installing a home charging station in my Salt Lake City garage?

Installing an EV charging station is a smart upgrade for Utah drivers. The process starts with our electric inspection to ensure your home's panel and wiring can handle the added load—a critical step as many local panels are already near capacity. We then handle the entire installation: from the dedicated circuit breaker installation in your panel to running the proper wire to your garage and mounting the charging unit. We ensure everything is permitted and up to code, giving you a fast, reliable charge at home.
