Power Path Electric published a media release on March 20, 2026 framing electrical‑panel work as "future‑proofing" specifically to support EV chargers, heat pumps and smart‑home loads. (issuewire.com)) The company lists Hudson Hall as founder and describes itself as a Utah‑native, family‑owned business with roughly two years of operating experience serving the Salt Lake Valley. (issuewire.com)) State business records and its BBB profile record Power Path Electric, LLC as incorporated January 13, 2025, with a business start date listed as February 1, 2024, and BBB accreditation dated March 19, 2025. (bbb.org)) The press release cites a sales approach that pairs NEC‑style load calculations with homeowner education to convert remodel and EV‑charger leads rather than relying solely on reactive service calls. (issuewire.com)) Power Path’s own website advertises EV charger installation and explicitly promotes pairing charging with home renewables and system planning, and it offers free estimates and a local contact number on its site. (powerpathelectric.com)) The release and local contractor pages highlight that many Salt Lake Valley homes still have 100‑amp or smaller panels, and industry guidance notes the rise of EVs and heat‑pump retrofits as primary drivers pushing homeowners to upgrade panels. (issuewire.com)) The company’s BBB listing also enumerates services beyond panel work — including generator installation, lighting and heat‑trace systems — indicating a broader seasonal and safety‑focused service mix to capture year‑round residential leads.
