What Coeur d'Alene homes typically need

Coeur d'Alene has some of the oldest housing in Kootenai County. The neighborhoods between Sherman Avenue and the lake, Garden District, and the older blocks north of Harrison were built from the early 1900s through the 1960s, and we regularly find knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded two-wire circuits, and 60- to 100-amp services in them. Those homes usually need a panel upgrade and at least a partial rewire before they can safely take on an EV charger, hot tub, or heat pump.

The newer homes on the Prairie and around Atlas and Ramsey have modern panels, but they fill up fast. Adding a shop, charger, or hot tub there usually means a load calculation and a subpanel rather than a full service change. We size it right the first time so you are not paying for it twice.

Permits and inspections in Coeur d'Alene

Electrical work in the city limits is permitted and inspected through the City of Coeur d'Alene Building Department; outside the city it goes through Kootenai County. We pull the permit under our Idaho license, do the work to current code, and meet the inspector. When you sell the house, that permit history is what the buyer's inspector will ask for.
