Electrical Services for Homes & Businesses

Our team covers the full range of residential and commercial electrical work. Here is everything we offer:

EV Charging Stations. We install dedicated circuits and Level 2 chargers from all major brands, including ChargePoint, Tesla, Enel X JuiceBox, and others. We pull the permits, handle the inspection, and make sure the install is code-compliant from day one.
Electrical Panels. Upgrading an undersized or outdated panel is one of the most impactful things you can do for an older home. We assess your current setup, recommend the right solution, and handle the full installation.
Electrical Service. From service entrance upgrades to meter base work, we handle the full scope of electrical service calls for residential and commercial properties.
Knob & Tube Replacement. Knob-and-tube wiring is still found in older homes and is a known fire hazard. We replace it safely, completely, and to current code.
Outlets & Switches. Adding circuits for a new appliance, upgrading worn receptacles, installing GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms, or running a dedicated line for a workshop or hot tub.
Pool & Hot Tub Electrical. This work requires specialized grounding and bonding that only licensed electricians should touch. We do it right, to code, every time.
Wiring & Rewiring. Full and partial rewires for homes with outdated wiring, aluminum wiring, or systems that simply cannot keep up with modern demand.
Whole House Generators. We are a Generac-authorized installer. A standby generator is one of the smartest investments you can make.
Commercial Electrical. We serve local businesses, landlords, and commercial properties with the same standards we bring to every residential job.
Indoor Lighting. Recessed lighting, fixture upgrades, dimmer switches, and full lighting design for renovations and new builds.
Outdoor Lighting. Security lighting, landscape lighting, pathway and driveway lighting, and everything in between.
Smoke Detectors & Carbon Monoxide Alarms. Proper placement, hardwired installation, and interconnected systems that meet Idaho code requirements.
Emergency Electrical. When something goes wrong and it cannot wait, call us. We offer same-day service when available and prioritize urgent situations.

Why You Need an Electrician Who Knows North Idaho

A large number of homes in Athol are over 30 years old, and the electrical systems inside them were designed for a fraction of the devices and appliances that run in today's homes. Add in local seasonal demands, from hard winters that push heating systems hard to summer surges that stress aging panels, and you have electrical systems that are quickly struggling to cope.

There is also the rural reality. Many properties rely on Kootenai Electric Cooperative for power delivery, and when storms roll through and outages hit, homes without backup generation are left in the cold. Kootenai County's forested landscape is beautiful, but it also means wind events and ice storms regularly take down lines.

VPC Electric understands all of this because we have been working in these homes and on these properties for over 20 years. We know what local electrical systems look like from the inside, and we know how to bring them up to where they need to be.

We Are Proud to Serve Our Neighbors

Common Electrical Questions

Does VPC Electric serve rural properties outside of Athol's city center?

Yes. We serve properties throughout the 83801 ZIP code and the broader North Idaho area, including rural acreages, lakeside properties, and homes along the Highway 95 corridor between Athol and Coeur d'Alene.

Who provides electrical power to Athol homes?

Most residents are served by Kootenai Electric Cooperative (KEC). If you are upgrading your service entrance, adding a subpanel, or installing a generator that connects to your utility, the work needs to meet KEC's requirements. Our licensed electricians are familiar with those standards and handle all coordination.

My home was built in the late 1980s or early 1990s. Should I be concerned about my wiring?

It depends on the specifics, but homes from that era were generally not designed for today's electrical loads. If you are adding EV charging, a hot tub, or a modern kitchen setup, an assessment is a smart first step.

Do you offer financing for larger electrical projects?

Yes. Through our Hearth financing partnership, qualified customers can access loan amounts up to $100,000, with 0% interest options for up to 18 months, no home equity required, and funding within one to three business days. There are no prepayment penalties. Ask us about it when you call (509) 749-8759.

How quickly can you respond to a service call? We offer same-day service when it is available. For non-emergency work, we schedule promptly. Call our Idaho office at 208-793-5949 or request a free estimate online.
