Good electrical work isn't complicated, it's just done right, and that starts with finding the actual problem before touching anything else. A dead outlet, a flickering light, a burning smell near a panel or receptacle, a breaker that keeps tripping or won't reset - each of those symptoms points somewhere specific, and we work through it methodically.
We trace faults and short circuits, test GFCI and AFCI protection, and check grounding and bonding as part of any troubleshooting visit. If one room has lost power, that is usually a tripped GFCI upstream or a loose connection at a junction box. If a breaker trips under load every time, that is a different conversation, and one worth having before the wiring gets stressed further.
A breaker that keeps tripping is a warning worth heeding.
Panels wear out, and they also get outgrown. We handle panel repair, main panel replacement, and fuse-box-to-breaker conversions for older homes that are still running on glass fuses. For homes and buildings that need more capacity, we do 200-amp service upgrades, including service-entrance work and load calculations to confirm the new panel can carry everything connected to it.
The wiring done properly, start to finish - that is what a panel job requires, because the work touches every circuit in the building. We also install subpanels for detached garages, basement buildouts, and home additions where running every circuit back to the main panel is not practical. Commercial panel upgrades follow the same process: scope the load, confirm the service entrance can support it, and wire it to code.
The cost of a panel upgrade depends on the current service size, the condition of the existing wiring, and what the new panel needs to carry. Call for a quote and we will walk through what the job involves before anything is scheduled.
Not every electrician works the same way, and whole-home rewiring is one of those jobs where the difference shows. We replace old and deteriorating wiring, including knob-and-tube systems and aluminum branch-circuit wiring that has reached the end of its safe service life. Every replacement is done to current code, which matters when a home eventually sells or when an insurance carrier asks questions.
New circuit installation covers renovations, room additions, and appliances that need a dedicated line. A refrigerator, a dryer, an oven, a hot tub - each of those runs better and more safely on its own circuit rather than sharing with other loads. We wire kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and basements, and we add circuits for new construction and home additions where the existing panel has room to grow.
We'll get the job wired and finished.
Choosing the right electrical fix is easier than it sounds, and lighting is a good example. We install recessed lighting, ceiling fixtures, chandeliers, pendants, and under-cabinet lighting indoors. LED and recessed lighting upgrades are among the most common requests we get, and for good reason: the switch from older fixtures to recessed LED trim cuts heat output and changes how a room reads entirely.
Outside, we wire landscape lighting, security lights, motion sensor fixtures, and weatherproof outdoor receptacles. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, which matters when the job runs through finished rooms or across hardwood.
Ceiling fan installation covers new installs, replacements, and situations where a fan-rated box needs to be added before the fixture can go up. If the existing switch location needs a separate dimmer or fan control, we handle that at the same visit.
An outlet that stopped working, a switch that does nothing, a receptacle that sparks when something is plugged in - these are the calls we get every week, and they resolve faster than most people expect. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets, AFCI outlets, USB outlets, and outdoor weatherproof receptacles. Switch repairs and replacements follow the same process: identify what is wrong, replace what needs replacing, confirm the circuit is behaving correctly.
Whole-home surge protection is a single device installed at the panel that catches voltage spikes before they reach your wiring and connected equipment. A surge from a lightning strike or a utility event does not announce itself, and a single point of protection at the panel covers everything downstream. Dead outlets usually have a simple cause worth finding.
Adams County winters are long and hard on buildings and electrical systems alike. Sub-freezing temperatures, ice storms, and wind events create real demand for backup power, freeze protection, and panels that can carry the loads modern homes put on them. These are the jobs we handle regularly in and around Northglenn.
A backup generator hookup involves connecting the generator to the home's electrical system through a transfer switch, confirming the panel can carry the generator's output, and wiring the connection to code. The transfer switch is what keeps the generator isolated from the utility line during an outage - it is not optional, and it is not a shortcut worth taking. Front Range storms have knocked out power for days at a stretch in Adams County, and a properly wired standby generator means the lights, the heat circuits, and the refrigerator stay on while the grid catches up.
Older Northglenn homes frequently carry panels that were sized for the loads of a different era. An EV charger or a hot tub often means checking the panel first. Add heat tape circuits, a modern kitchen, and an EV charger to a 100-amp service, and the math stops working. We do load calculations before quoting a panel upgrade so the new service size is based on what is actually running in the home, not a round number. The service entrance gets evaluated at the same time, because a panel upgrade that outpaces the incoming service is not an upgrade.
Heat tape protects exposed pipes from freeze-thaw cycles that are routine in Colorado winters. The electrical side of a heat tape installation means running a dedicated circuit to the exterior connection point, using exterior-rated wiring and fittings, and confirming the circuit is protected correctly. This is not a plug-in job for most installations: a dedicated circuit keeps the tape from competing with other loads and makes it easier to control and monitor. We offer prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, which matters when a cold snap arrives faster than expected and pipes are already at risk.
Scheduling a service call is simple, and EV charger installation is one of the more straightforward jobs we do once the panel capacity question is answered. A Level 2 home EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, which means we pull a circuit from the panel to the garage or driveway location, install the outlet or hardwired connection, and confirm the panel has room for the added load. Tesla chargers and third-party Level 2 units follow the same wiring process.
If the panel is already at capacity, the charger installation and a panel upgrade get scoped together. The cost depends on the run distance, the panel's current state, and whether any service-entrance work is needed. Call for a quote and we will confirm what applies to your setup.
Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, and that applies to commercial spaces and rental properties as much as it does to single-family homes. We handle commercial electrical repair and installation for offices, retail spaces, and light commercial buildings, including commercial panel upgrades, commercial lighting installation, and wiring for tenant improvements and buildouts.
For landlords and property managers, we do electrical safety inspections that document the condition of the wiring, the panel, and the outlets and switches throughout the property. Buyers, sellers, and renovation contractors use the same inspection service before work starts or before a property changes hands. The inspection covers what is there, what is working, and what needs attention - with the fault explained before the work starts.
The rate for any job - panel upgrade, whole-home rewiring, EV charger installation, generator hookup, ceiling fan, outlet, or inspection - is confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled. We scope the work on the phone, explain what the job involves, and give you a price you can make a decision with. There is no obligation to schedule before you have that number.
Cost questions are common and reasonable. What does a 200-amp panel upgrade cost. What does rewiring a house run. What does an EV charger installation cost in Northglenn. The answers depend on the specifics of the job, and we work through those specifics on the call. We power your home. We protect your circuits. We earn the call.

The more specific you can be, the more accurate the quote. Useful details include what the symptom is, where in the home or building it is happening, how old the panel is, and whether the problem started suddenly or has been building over time. If you have already checked whether a GFCI has tripped or a breaker has flipped, that is worth mentioning too.
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers on repairs, electrical safety inspections, code violation corrections, and GFCI and AFCI upgrades across rental units. If you manage multiple properties in the Northglenn area, call and we will work through what each one needs.
A single outlet repair or switch replacement is typically a short visit: diagnose, replace, confirm the circuit is working. A panel upgrade or whole-home rewiring project involves more planning, a load calculation, and in some cases permit and inspection coordination. Both start the same way: a call, a scope, and a price before anything is scheduled.
The rate is confirmed before the visit is scheduled, based on the scope discussed on the phone. If the work on-site turns out to involve something that was not visible or known at the time of the call, that gets explained before any additional work is done. You are not committed to work beyond what was quoted without a conversation first.

|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Tape Installation | Dedicated circuit for self-regulating heat tapeWiring to roof edge and pipe run locationsLoad calculation for the system being usedConnection and circuit verification | Northglenn homes with roof ice dam problems or vulnerable pipe runs in unheated spaces | Self-regulating heat tape still needs a correctly sized dedicated circuit. Sharing a circuit with other loads is a common installation mistake. |
| Lighting Installation | Recessed and track lightingExterior and motion sensor fixturesUnder-cabinet and landscape wiringInterior fixture replacement | Renovation projects, security lighting upgrades, and finishing a new space | Outdoor lighting on the Front Range takes a beating from freeze-thaw cycles, so fixture and junction box choice matters. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | Dead outlets and failed switchesTripping breakers traced to sourceArcing or burning connectionsCircuit-level fault diagnosis | Any home or property with an unexplained electrical symptom | A warm outlet or a breaker that will not reset is worth a prompt call, not a wait-and-see approach. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | Panel-level surge device installationProtection for all circuits from a single pointGuards against utility-line voltage spikesStandalone or combined with panel work | Homes with sensitive electronics, home offices, or recently upgraded appliances | Voltage spikes from equipment cycling inside the home can cause damage just as utility-side surges do. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | Standard, GFCI, and AFCI outletsDimmer and three-way switch replacementUSB combination receptaclesGrounding and bonding at the box | Homeowners adding outlets, replacing outdated devices, or correcting ungrounded receptacles | Replacing an ungrounded outlet without addressing the grounding behind it is a cosmetic fix, not a real one. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | Rough-in for renovations and additionsKnob-and-tube and aluminum wiring remediationNew circuit runsRewiring for updated code compliance | Older homes being updated and new construction or addition projects | Aluminum branch-circuit wiring from the 1960s and 1970s requires connection remediation, not just a visual inspection. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | Panel and wiring condition assessmentGFCI and AFCI protection reviewGrounding and bonding checkFindings explained before any repair is discussed | Home buyers, landlords, and owners of older properties with uninspected wiring | An inspection before closing gives buyers a clear picture of what the electrical system will need before any repair decisions are made. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | New fan wiring and mountingFan and light kit combination installsOld fan swap-outsBox and wiring support check | Rooms that need better air circulation or a fixture upgrade | A ceiling fan box rated for fan support is different from a standard light fixture box. We check before mounting. |
| Backup Generator Installation | Transfer switch installationDedicated generator circuit from panelPortable and standby generator hookupsLoad sizing for the transfer switch | Front Range homeowners who lose power during winter storms and need reliable backup | A transfer switch isolates the generator from the utility line, which is a code requirement and a safety necessity. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | 240-volt circuits for ranges and dryersRefrigerator and dishwasher circuitsWorkshop and garage equipment circuitsCorrect outlet installed with the circuit | Homeowners adding a major appliance or workshop equipment to an existing home | If the panel does not have capacity for the added circuit, that conversation happens before anything is pulled. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular | Load calculation and panel sizing100-amp to 200-amp service upgradeFuse box to breaker panel conversionSubpanel installation for garages and additions | Homes adding EV chargers, heat tape circuits, or heavy appliances to an older service | Cold-climate homes in Adams County run more sustained electrical load than the same square footage would in a milder region, and older panels were not sized for it. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | Failing or stuck breakers replacedFuse box assessmentBus connection checksPanel-level fault isolation | Homes where a breaker trips repeatedly or a fuse blows without a clear cause | A breaker that trips on a lightly loaded circuit often points to a wiring fault, not just an overload. |
