Electrical Work Done Safely and Done Right

Here at Missoula Electrician, we're a locally owned and operated electrical company serving homeowners across Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley. We're not a national chain or a call center — when you call us, you reach the people who will actually be doing the work on your home.

Electrical is not the place to cut corners, and we treat it that way. A loose connection, an overloaded panel, or a DIY repair hidden behind the drywall can mean tripped breakers, damaged appliances, or a house fire. We handle residential and light commercial electrical work across the Missoula area, and we wire it correctly to code the first time so it stays safe for decades.

Missoula is a mix of century-old homes near downtown and the University District, newer builds out toward Miller Creek and Grant Creek, and cabins scattered up the Rattlesnake and out toward Seeley Lake. Each comes with its own quirks — undersized panels, knob-and-tube runs, aluminum branch wiring, or simply not enough circuits for how families live today. We've worked on all of them, and whatever you're dealing with, we'll diagnose the real problem and fix it the right way.

FAQ

Common Questions from Missoula Homeowners

How much does an electrician cost in Missoula?

Our service-call and diagnostic fee runs roughly $75–$150, with labor around $90–$150 per hour. As a rough guide, small jobs like adding an outlet or swapping a switch or fixture often run $120–$300; a 200-amp panel upgrade typically lands between $1,800 and $4,000; and an EV charger install runs about $500–$2,000 depending on the distance from your panel. We price a whole-home rewire per project after we've seen the home. You'll always get a clear number from us before any work begins — and the estimate is free.

How fast can you come out?

For most non-emergency work we can usually get out within a few business days, and often sooner. For urgent problems — a dead panel, a burning smell, sparking outlets, or losing power to half the house — call us right away and describe what's happening so we can prioritize it. We finish many small repairs in a single visit.

Do I really need to upgrade my panel?

Not always — but you might if you still have a fuse box or a 60- or 100-amp service, breakers that trip constantly, no room for new circuits, or a known problem-brand panel. Older homes near downtown and the University District often can't keep up with modern heating, EV charging, and appliances. We inspect the panel and give you an honest answer on whether an upgrade is actually warranted.

Is my old knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring dangerous?

It can still function, but both knob-and-tube and older aluminum branch wiring carry real fire and insurance risks — especially where they've been altered, buried in insulation, or overloaded. A lot of older Missoula homes still have sections of it. We'll inspect what you actually have and recommend either targeted repairs or a full rewire — not automatically the most expensive option.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Electrical work in Montana should be done by a licensed electrician and permitted where the code requires it. That protects your home, keeps your insurance valid, and means the work passes inspection. We carry current licensing and liability coverage, and we're happy to provide proof and explain what your specific job requires.

Do you serve towns around Missoula?

Yes. Along with Missoula proper, we regularly work in Lolo, Frenchtown, East Missoula, Bonner, Milltown, Clinton, Florence, Stevensville, and Hamilton, plus Target Range, Orchard Homes, Huson, Turah, and Seeley Lake. If you're anywhere in the greater Missoula County or Bitterroot Valley area, give us a call.
