What Post Falls homes typically need

Post Falls has grown faster than almost anywhere in North Idaho, and most of that growth is newer construction with full 200-amp panels that were built to the minimum. The most common call we get is a homeowner who wants to add a hot tub, an EV charger, and a shop and has run out of breaker space and service capacity. We do the load calculation, add a subpanel or upgrade the service where it actually makes sense, and get everything on properly sized circuits.

The older part of town near the falls and downtown has the opposite problem: small services, aging panels, and wiring from the 1950s through 1970s that was never meant for today's loads. Those homes usually need a panel replacement first.

Shops and acreage properties

A lot of Post Falls and the surrounding Prairie is acreage with a detached shop, barn, or RV pad. We trench and run underground feeders, set subpanels in outbuildings, wire 240-volt circuits for welders, compressors, and lifts, install high-output LED shop lighting, and put in RV hookups and well-pump circuits. If you are planning the building, call us before the concrete is poured so the conduit goes in the right place.
