What's included
What Our Bathroom Electrical Services Include
Every job is different, but here is what most Pocatello bathroom electrical calls cover. If you need something not on this list, call us and we will tell you straight whether we handle it or whether you need a different trade.
Dedicated Circuit Wiring
Hair dryers, heated floors, and bidet seats all pull serious amps. We run a dedicated 20-amp circuit from the panel so your bathroom stops sharing power with the bedroom and tripping breakers.
Vanity and Shower Lighting
We install vanity bars, recessed lights, sconces, and wet-rated shower lights on separate switches so you can light the room the way you actually use it. LED fixtures from Kohler, Delta, and similar brands.
Exhaust Fan Installation
We size the fan to the room, install it with a timer switch, and vent it through the roof or exterior wall. We never dump bathroom air into the attic, which is how mold starts.
Switch and Outlet Replacement
Old switches wear out and outlets loosen up over time. We replace them with modern rocker switches and tamper-resistant outlets, and we check the wiring behind them while the plate is off.
Panel and Breaker Work
If your panel is full or your breaker keeps tripping, we diagnose the load and either free up a circuit or upgrade the panel. We pull the permit and meet the inspector on-site.
How it works
How Our Bathroom Electrical Process Works
You call +19863369053 and describe the problem. We ask about the age of the home, the breaker panel, and what the bathroom is doing. Most calls take 5-10 minutes. If it is a simple fix, we quote a range on the phone. If it needs eyes on it, we book a same-day or next-day visit.
A licensed electrician walks the bathroom with a stud finder, moisture meter, and circuit tester. We map what is on each breaker, check for aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube in older homes, and photograph the panel. You get a written scope and a flat price before anyone touches a wire.
If the job requires a permit, we pull it through the City of Pocatello. We order the right parts: 12-gauge Romex, GFCI receptacles rated 20A, a Panasonic or Broan exhaust fan sized to the room, and LED fixtures from brands like Kohler or Delta that match your existing finish.
We show up in the window we promised, lay drop cloths, and kill the circuit at the panel. Most outlet and lighting jobs take 2-4 hours. A full bathroom rewire with a new fan and dedicated circuits runs 6-8 hours. We test every GFCI, every switch, and every fixture before we pack up.
We walk you through what we installed, show you how to test the GFCI, and label the breakers. You get a written warranty on labor and the manufacturer warranty on parts. If anything acts up in the first year, you call us and we come back at no charge.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Circuit Tester and GFCI Tester
We verify every circuit is dead before we touch it and test every GFCI under load after install. No guessing, no shortcuts.
Stud Finder and Laser Level
We locate studs for fixture mounting and use a laser level to keep vanity lights, switches, and outlets on the same line across the wall.
Moisture Meter
We check wall cavities and ceiling areas for hidden moisture before we close anything up. If there is a leak behind the wall, we find it before it becomes mold.
Oscillating Multi-Tool
For clean drywall cuts around outlet boxes and recessed lights. Less dust, cleaner edges, easier patch work later.
Romex 12-Gauge Wiring
Standard for 20-amp bathroom circuits. We use 12-gauge copper on every new circuit so the wiring handles the load with margin.
Panasonic and Broan Exhaust Fans
Quiet, reliable fans rated 80-110 CFM. We size the fan to the room and vent it through the roof or exterior wall, never into the attic.

Old Town Bathroom Rewire and GFCI Upgrade
A 1928 bungalow near Old Town had two-prong outlets in the bathroom, no GFCI protection, and a vanity light on the same circuit as the bedroom. The hair dryer tripped the breaker every morning, and the homeowner was resetting it in the dark.
After: We ran a dedicated 20-amp circuit from the panel, installed two 20-amp GFCI outlets, added a new vanity light on its own switch, and labeled the panel. The job took about five hours. The breaker has not tripped since, and the bathroom is bright enough to shave in.

Highland Exhaust Fan and Shower Light Replacement
A 1978 ranch in Highland had a dead exhaust fan and a shower light that flickered. The ceiling above the shower showed mildew, and the mirror fogged for 20 minutes after every shower. The fan had been ducted into the attic, which is why the moisture never left.
After: We installed an 80 CFM Panasonic fan with a timer switch, ran new duct through the roof, and replaced the shower light with a wet-rated LED. The mirror clears in about five minutes now. The mildew stopped returning after we treated and repainted the ceiling.

Pocatello Creek Bidet Outlet and Dedicated Circuit
A homeowner in Pocatello Creek had installed a bidet seat and was running an extension cord across the bathroom floor to power it. The cord was a tripping hazard and a code violation, and the outlet it plugged into was not GFCI-protected.
After: We ran a dedicated 20-amp circuit from the panel, installed a GFCI outlet within reach of the toilet, and removed the extension cord. The job took about three hours. The bidet seat works, the outlet is protected, and the bathroom is code-correct.

Bathroom Electrical Problems We Fix in Pocatello
Most bathroom electrical calls fall into a handful of categories. Here are the ones we see most often in Pocatello homes, and what happens if you leave them alone.
Ask a pro →GFCI outlet keeps tripping or will not reset
We test the circuit, isolate the fault, and replace the GFCI if it is worn out. If the fault is in the wiring, we trace it, repair it, and retest under load. Most fixes take under two hours.
Exhaust fan runs but moves no air
We check the duct run for kinks, clogs, and improper termination. Often the fan is undersized or ducted into the attic. We replace it with an 80-110 CFM unit and vent it correctly through the roof or wall.
Bathroom shares a circuit with bedrooms and trips
We run a dedicated 20-amp circuit from the panel to the bathroom. That separates the loads, stops the tripping, and brings the bathroom up to current code. Most jobs take 4-6 hours.
No outlet near the toilet for a bidet seat
We install a GFCI outlet on a dedicated circuit within reach of the toilet. The cord stays short, the outlet is protected, and the install is code-correct. Usually a 2-3 hour job.

Most bathroom electrical jobs in Pocatello run $180 to $850 in 2026, depending on scope. A single GFCI outlet swap is around $180-$260. Adding a dedicated 20-amp circuit with a new outlet runs $400-$650. A full bathroom rewire with a new exhaust fan, vanity lighting, and GFCI protection lands $1,200-$2,800. We give you a flat written price before we start, so the number you hear is the number you pay.
Yes. The NEC requires GFCI protection on every bathroom receptacle within 6 feet of a sink, and Idaho follows that code. If your Pocatello bathroom still has a standard outlet near the vanity, it is a shock hazard and an inspection flag. We swap them for 20-amp GFCI receptacles, test them under load, and label the breaker. The swap usually takes under an hour.
A single outlet or light swap takes 1-2 hours. A new exhaust fan with a timer switch runs 3-4 hours. A full bathroom rewire with dedicated circuits, GFCI protection, and new lighting takes 6-8 hours, sometimes two days if we are opening walls. We tell you the expected duration when we quote the job, and we do not leave a bathroom torn apart overnight unless you approve it.
New circuits, panel work, and any wiring inside the wall require a permit through the City of Pocatello. Straight swaps, like replacing a GFCI with another GFCI on the same circuit, usually do not. We pull the permit when it is required, meet the inspector on-site, and hand you the signed-off paperwork. That protects you at resale and keeps your homeowner's insurance valid.
