How Bar H Bar Electric Keeps Lehi Homes Safe & Up to Code

August 08, 20253 min read

Introduction

In Lehi, electrical safety isn’t just about convenience—it’s about protecting your home, your family, and your future. Many homes in the area were built before today’s code standards, meaning outdated wiring and panels may no longer meet requirements.

Bar H Bar Electric helps homeowners avoid those risks. We make sure every system we touch is code-compliant, properly installed, and built to last.

Here’s how we do it.

What Code Compliance and Electrical Safety Really Mean

Code compliance means your home’s electrical system meets the safety and performance standards outlined by the National Electrical Code (NEC), Utah state laws, and Lehi city regulations.

Staying “up to code” helps:

  • Reduce fire and shock risks

  • Ensure your home passes inspections

  • Keep your insurance valid

  • Support modern appliances and smart systems

Bar H Bar Electric focuses on every detail of compliance—because small oversights lead to big consequences.

How We Keep Homes in Lehi Safe and Up to Code

Full Electrical Inspections

We start with a full top-to-bottom evaluation. This includes:

  • Checking panel size and load balance

  • Inspecting wiring type and condition

  • Testing outlets, GFCI and AFCI protection

  • Looking for signs of overheating, wear, or poor grounding

If we find any issues, we document them clearly and explain what needs to be done.

Code-Compliant Repairs and Upgrades

If your home still has outdated systems, we bring them up to code with:

  • GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas

  • AFCI protection in bedrooms and common spaces

  • Proper grounding and bonding at panels and circuits

  • Upgrading two-prong outlets to grounded three-prong

  • Installing junction boxes and safe wire terminations

  • Replacing unsafe aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring

Every detail matters, from outlet spacing to circuit labeling. We don’t cut corners—because you deserve peace of mind.

Electrical Panel Replacements

Many older homes in Lehi have 100-amp panels or outdated brands that no longer meet safety guidelines. We upgrade panels to modern 200-amp systems that safely support:

  • EV chargers

  • HVAC systems

  • Kitchen remodels

  • Home offices

  • Additions or basement finishes

We handle permitting, installation, testing, and final inspection so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

Permitting and Inspections

We pull all required city permits and schedule inspections with Lehi building officials. Our work is always up to date with Utah code changes and local enforcement.

That means no delays, no failed inspections, and no surprises when you sell, remodel, or refinance.

When Should Lehi Homeowners Call Us?

You don’t need to wait for something to break to get an inspection or upgrade. Here are the most common situations where we help:

  • You’re buying or selling a home

  • You’re remodeling or finishing a basement

  • You want to install a spa or EV charger

  • You’ve had breakers tripping, lights flickering, or buzzing outlets

  • Your panel is over 25 years old

  • Your insurance provider requires proof of safety upgrades

We also help homeowners stay proactive—because it’s always easier to fix a problem before it becomes a hazard.

Real-World Example

A Lehi homeowner called us after experiencing constant breaker trips and dimming lights. The panel was undersized, and many outlets were ungrounded.

We upgraded the panel to 200 amps, installed new GFCI outlets, replaced old aluminum wiring in the kitchen, and brought the entire system up to code. The home passed inspection immediately—and the owners finally had confidence their system was safe.

Conclusion

Bar H Bar Electric’s work is built around one goal: protecting homes and families in Lehi through safe, code-compliant electrical systems.

Whether you need a panel upgrade, a full-home inspection, or help during a remodel, we’re here to get the job done right—and up to code.
