About Platinum Electric
A Locally Owned Electrician in Coeur d'Alene, ID You Can Reach Directly
Platinum Electric LLC is a family-owned electrician in Coeur d'Alene, ID, serving homeowners, businesses and multifamily properties across Kootenai County and the North Idaho towns around it. When you call (208) 277-6157, you reach the people who will plan and do the work, not a call center two states away.
The company holds Idaho electrical contractor License #069870, and the team brings more than 20 years of electrical experience to every job. That experience covers the full range of work a property needs over its life: repairs when something stops working, upgrades when a home outgrows its panel, installations for new equipment, remodeling and new construction.
The approach is simple. Explain the problem in plain words, quote the work clearly, wire it to code, and finish it correctly the first time so you are not calling back about the same issue next season.

Electrical Services Built Around How People Live in North Idaho
Calls to an electrician in Coeur d'Alene, ID usually start with one of three needs: power that is not working the way it should, a home that needs more capacity than it was built with, or new equipment that needs a safe, dedicated connection. Hot tubs, EV chargers, shop equipment and standby generators all draw serious power, and each one depends on a panel and circuits sized for the load.
Why Choose Us
Why Coeur d'Alene Electricians at Platinum Electric Earn Repeat Calls
Homeowners and property managers keep the same electrician for years when the work is done right and the communication is clear. These are the commitments behind every Platinum Electric job.
A first call often turns into a long working relationship. The electrician who replaced your panel already knows how the house is wired when you add a hot tub, an EV charger or a finished basement a few years later, so each new project starts from what was done before instead of from scratch.
Idaho-Licensed Contractor
The company works under Idaho electrical contractor License #069870, so the work is done by a licensed contractor and built to pass inspection where a permit applies.
More Than 20 Years of Experience
The team has more than 20 years of electrical experience across residential, commercial and multifamily work, from troubleshooting old wiring to wiring new homes.
Clear Communication
You hear what is wrong, what the options are and what the work involves before anything starts, in plain language rather than electrician shorthand.
Done Right the First Time
Code-compliant installations and careful repairs mean fewer callbacks, fewer surprises and a system you can trust through the winter.
How It Works
How Working With Our Electrical Contractor in Coeur d'Alene Goes
A good electrical job starts with listening and ends with a clean, tested installation. The steps are the same whether the work is a single circuit or a full rewire.
Call or Send a Request
Tell us what is happening or what you want to add. A short description and a few details about the home or building help us plan the visit.
Evaluation and Estimate
We look at the panel, the wiring and the space, explain what we find, and give you a clear scope of work before the job is scheduled.
Permits and Installation
Where the work calls for a permit, we handle it. The installation is done to code, labeled properly and kept tidy.
Testing and Walkthrough
Every circuit we touch is tested before we leave, and we walk you through what was done and how to use anything new.
Who We Work For
Residential, Commercial and Multifamily Electrical Work
Platinum Electric works for three kinds of customers, and each one needs something slightly different. Homeowners want a safe, reliable house and an electrician who respects their time and their home. Business owners want work scheduled around their hours, done to commercial code, and finished without disrupting customers or staff.
Homeowners
Business Owners
Multifamily Properties
Multifamily owners and property managers need consistent work across many units: troubleshooting tenant complaints, upgrading common area lighting, replacing worn devices and keeping every unit to the same standard.
The same Idaho-licensed team handles all three, which means the person who wires your remodel understands what a commercial tenant improvement needs, and the other way around. Commercial clients can see how we approach business properties on our commercial electrician Coeur d'Alene ID page.
Before Winter
Electrician CDA Homeowners Call Before Winter
North Idaho winters put real demand on a home's electrical system. Heat tape, block heaters, space heaters and holiday lighting all add load at the same time of year that heavy snow and wind can bring down lines. A panel that barely keeps up in July can struggle in January, and lake cabins left empty for the season need surge protection and a plan for outages while nobody is there.
Getting ahead of these issues in the fall is easier than calling in the middle of a cold snap. A visit from an electrician in Coeur d'Alene, ID before winter usually covers:
- Panel capacity and breakers that trip under winter loads
- Outdoor and dock circuits with working GFCI protection
- Heat tape and block heater outlets
- Generator and transfer switch readiness
- Surge protection for furnaces and electronics
- Power for lake cabins and seasonal homes left empty
Fall is also the right time to add circuits for anything new this winter, from a shop heater to a hot tub on the deck. Work done before the ground freezes and the snow piles up is easier to schedule, simpler to route outdoors and ready the first cold night you need it.

Philip with Platinum Electric did an excellent job installing a generator bypass switch at my electrical panel. He was punctual, professional, and the quality of work was outstanding—all at a fair price. Now when the power goes out I can safely hook up my portable 4k generator to keep the lights, refrigerator, freezer, and other essentials running. Highly recommend him for any residential electrical work in the Coeur d’Alene area!

Phil with Platinum Electric was referred to us by another electrician -- we are very pleased with the work Phil did in adding two 240V/50A circuits for a Jacuzzi and welder. Phil listened to our needs, was friendly and provided great insights on placement of outlets and connections. We are very happy with the outcome -- he finished quickly and completed the project per the estimate!

If you are looking for a great electrician, stop your search now and call Philip with Platinum Electric. I recently had a house built in Post Falls and Philip wired my entire house. I had several custom changes from my builder's plans and Philip was extremely easy to work with to make it happen. He communicated clearly and reliably whenever he had a question about what I wanted done. He sent me photos of his progress to make sure it was exactly what I wanted and I trusted him enough to take his suggestions on what he thought would be best for my build. I had the chance to examine his work before my house was drywalled and all the wires were neat, tidy, and routed beautifully throughout the house. When we finally moved in, I noticed every single outlet and light switch in the house had the mounting screws perfectly oriented and aligned. His attention to details like mounting screws on faceplates and the clean install of the roughed in wires showed me that Philip clearly takes pride in his product. I will 100% use him for any future projects and can't recommend him enough to anyone in northern Idaho.

Phillip with Platinum Electric was nothing short of professional from beginning to end. He did a panel upgrade for our old building and helped us troubleshoot some issues we were having. He was punctual, conscientious, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and of course very skilled in his trade. With this old construction of ours, we will definitely be calling him again.

Phill added new LED surface mounted lights to our old home. Brightened up a living room and kitchen that previously had almost no lights. He is easy to get along with and was fast at his job. In and out in a day. We plan to remodel our bathroom and I'm calling Phill when the time is right.

After trying and failing miserably to fix a handful of electrical issues in my basement, a friend referred me to Phillip at Platinum. Phillip actually returned my call immediately on a Friday afternoon and offered to help that evening. He was professional, quick and well priced. Five stars. Highly recommend.

Service Areas
Electrical Service Across Kootenai and Bonner Counties
Platinum Electric is based in Coeur d'Alene and serves the towns around it, from Post Falls on the Spokane River and Rathdrum to Sandpoint on Lake Pend Oreille, Bayview and Harrison. Smaller communities such as Dalton Gardens, Twin Lakes, Blanchard, Chilco, Garwood, Dover, Mica and Worley are served too.
Homes in these towns range from new subdivisions to lake cabins and rural properties on wells, and each brings its own electrical needs, from long outdoor circuit runs to shop buildings and dock power.
A new home in Post Falls or Rathdrum usually needs capacity for EV charging and smart controls. A lake house near Bayview or Harrison needs protection from storms and a plan for outages. An acreage near Athol or Spirit Lake often needs power carried out to a shop, a well pump or an RV pad. In each case the job starts with the same question: whether the panel and the service can carry the new load safely, and what it takes to get there.
