Electrical Services in Boise, ID
Boise electricians in this directory cover the North End, East End, Boise Bench, Eagle, and surrounding Ada County. A typical 200-amp panel upgrade with grounding electrode and surge protection runs $2,800-$4,500. Service mast and meter upgrades add $1,200-$3,000. Whole-home Type 2 surge protection runs $300-$600 installed.
Idaho Power covers most Ada County electric service. Boise Building Department permits and inspects all service work. Many older North End and East End homes still have 60-100 amp service with knob-and-tube circuits — full rewires of 1,400 sq ft historic homes run $14,000-$22,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a permit for a Boise panel upgrade?
- Yes — Boise Building Department requires a permit and inspection. Most reputable electricians handle the permit and coordinate the Idaho Power disconnect/reconnect.
- Will my Boise EV charger need a panel upgrade?
- A 240V/50A Level 2 charger draws 11-12 kW. Older 100-amp services and 1990s 150-amp services are usually too tight. A 200-amp upgrade ($2,800-$4,500) typically clears the way.
- Should I add surge protection in Boise?
- Yes — Idaho's summer thunderstorms cause direct strikes and induced surges. A whole-home Type 2 SPD at the panel runs $300-$600 installed and protects all branch circuits. Pair with point-of-use surge strips on sensitive electronics.
