New Builds Services in Lehi, Utah
Designing reliable power solutions for ground-up builds
Building a new home in the fast-growing corridor of Utah County demands electrical systems that are as innovative as the communities rising around it. Sentinel Electric partners with builders, developers, and homeowners who are shaping the future of Lehi, Utah and surrounding areas including Cedar Hills, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Vineyard, Draper, and Bluffdale, where technology-driven living meets residential craftsmanship. As master-planned neighborhoods expand along the Silicon Slopes, homes are no longer simple structures—they are interconnected ecosystems requiring intelligent power distribution, data readiness, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability. New construction today integrates smart lighting, electric vehicle charging, home automation, renewable energy compatibility, and high-capacity panel systems that must be installed with precision from day one.
Successful new builds depend on seamless collaboration among architects, general contractors, and specialized trades. Early electrical planning prevents costly redesigns, minimizes delays, and protects project budgets while maintaining design integrity. Thoughtful infrastructure—such as structured wiring, dedicated circuits for appliances, and properly sized panels—ensures that modern households can support remote work, entertainment systems, security technology, and whole-home automation without overload risks. In Utah’s climate, electrical systems must also account for seasonal demands, including HVAC efficiency, heat management, and load balancing during extreme temperature shifts.
With 5
years of focused experience in ground-up residential electrical installation, the emphasis remains on quality craftsmanship, proactive problem-solving, and long-term performance. Every new build represents a lasting investment, making durability and scalability essential priorities. Advanced planning supports future expansions such as basement finishes, home offices, solar integration, and additional living spaces. By blending traditional electrical expertise with forward-thinking design principles, new builds can achieve higher safety standards, lower maintenance needs, and greater property value. Thoughtful electrical systems do more than power a house—they shape how families live, work, and connect within their growing communities.
Our Services for New Builds
Electrical Design Coordination
We collaborate directly with architects, engineers, and general contractors during blueprint development to refine electrical layouts, optimize panel placement, align circuit distribution with structural plans, and prevent conflicts with plumbing, HVAC, and framing schedules across every construction phase for smooth project coordination and delivery.
Complete Rough-In Installation
We install all foundational wiring, conduit pathways, junction boxes, and subpanels before drywall so every circuit, outlet, and switch location is positioned accurately, protected from damage, labeled clearly, and prepared for seamless final-phase connections through organized systematic site quality control checks and reviews daily.
Smart Home Pre-Wiring
We prepare new homes for automation by running structured cabling for lighting control, security systems, network infrastructure, and audio-visual components while maintaining organized wiring pathways that simplify future technology upgrades and ensure clean accessible layouts for maintenance troubleshooting expansion and system integration later on.
Panel and Load Planning
We design and install modern electrical panels sized for current household needs and future expansion, balancing circuit loads to prevent overloads, reduce energy waste, and support high-demand appliances while creating safe capacity buffers for growing families devices workspaces and lifestyle changes over time ahead.
Lighting System Installation
We integrate layered lighting solutions including recessed fixtures, accent illumination, exterior lighting, and energy-efficient LEDs to enhance visibility, aesthetics, safety, and overall home ambiance throughout every room while balancing brightness color temperature glare control fixture placement and dimmer functionality for daily comfort living needs.
Final Trim and Inspection Support
We complete device installation, connect fixtures, test circuits, and coordinate with local inspectors to confirm that every system meets code requirements before project handover including load verification safety checks documentation labeling walkthroughs builder reviews and final operational system performance validation on site completely thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How early should electrical planning begin for a new build?
Electrical planning should begin during architectural design so wiring pathways, panel placement, and smart home requirements are integrated before framing starts, preventing expensive redesigns, schedule delays, inspection conflicts, and unnecessary construction rework across the entire building process for modern Utah residences today overall.
Are smart home systems included in new construction wiring?
Yes, structured cabling for automation, security, networking, and audio-visual systems can be installed during rough-in to support seamless future technology integration, reliable performance, centralized control, and simple upgrades without reopening finished walls later throughout the lifetime of your home and daily living experience.
How are electrical loads calculated for a new home?
Loads are calculated based on square footage, appliance requirements, HVAC systems, and future expansion plans to determine proper panel sizing, balanced circuit distribution, safe amperage margins, and adequate capacity for peak household energy demands across all seasons and daily usage in the region.
Does new construction electrical work meet Utah building codes?
All installations follow current National Electrical Code standards along with local inspection requirements enforced throughout Utah County construction projects, including permitting review, safety verification, utility coordination, and documented compliance at every measurable stage of development from rough-in through final approval in new homes.
Can solar or EV charging be prepared during construction?
Yes, conduit pathways and dedicated circuits can be pre-installed so solar panels or electric vehicle chargers can be added without structural disruption, drywall removal, or costly retrofits while preserving clean design aesthetics and maintaining long-term electrical system reliability for modern new construction homes.
How long does electrical installation take in a new build?
Timelines vary by home size and complexity, but rough-in typically aligns with framing schedules, while final trim occurs after drywall completion, fixture installation, device mounting, and comprehensive system testing to confirm safety, performance, reliability, and code compliance before occupancy of the new home.
