Electrician in Orem, Utah

Electrical Work Built for Orem's Changing Landscape

Orem has transformed over the past decade. What was once known primarily as a bedroom community between Provo and the Point of the Mountain has become a tech employment center in its own right, with companies lining University Parkway and State Street drawing a workforce that increasingly prioritizes energy efficiency and sustainability at home.

The city's housing stock reflects its layered growth. West Orem neighborhoods built in the 1970s and 1980s often have 100-amp or 150-amp panels that were sized for a simpler electrical era — well before home offices with multiple monitors, Level 2 EV chargers, and rooftop solar arrays became standard. Meanwhile, newer developments along the east side and up toward the Timpanogos foothills tend to come equipped with 200-amp service, making them ready for solar and EV additions with minimal infrastructure work.

BYOP Electric has served homeowners across this full spectrum in Orem. For older homes, we often combine a panel upgrade with solar installation in a single permitted project — saving you the hassle and cost of coordinating separate contractors. For newer homes, we can typically add solar or an EV charger without touching the panel at all, keeping the project lean and fast.

Orem's position in Utah Valley gives most homes excellent solar exposure, particularly south-facing and west-facing rooflines. We use APS DS3 microinverters to maximize production even on roofs with partial shading from trees or adjacent structures — a common situation in Orem's established neighborhoods near the University Mall corridor. Every Orem project gets the same approach: a free on-site assessment, transparent pricing, and direct communication with the electrician doing the work.
