Residential electrical services, done to code and done right
Six core services for Fort Collins and Northern Colorado homes. Every job gets a flat-rate quote upfront, a licensed electrician on site, and a clean handoff when we’re done.
Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
An outlet that stopped working, lights that flicker when the furnace kicks on, a breaker that trips every week. Small symptoms can hide real problems, so we diagnose the actual fault instead of patching the symptom, then fix it properly.
- Dead outlets, switches, and circuits traced and repaired
- Flickering lights, buzzing, and warm outlet plates investigated
- GFCI and AFCI protection added where today’s code requires it
Panel Upgrades
A lot of Old Town and midcentury Fort Collins homes still run on 60- or 100-amp panels that were never meant to handle modern kitchens, A/C, and home offices, let alone an EV. A 200-amp upgrade gives your home safe capacity for decades.
- Full 200-amp panel replacements with clearly labeled circuits
- Permits pulled and the city inspection handled for you
- Outdated fuse boxes and recalled panel brands replaced safely
Lighting Installation
Good lighting changes how a room feels and works. We plan placement around how you actually use the space, then install it with clean wiring and dimmers where they make sense.
- Recessed lighting layouts that avoid shadows and glare
- Pendants, chandeliers, and under-cabinet task lighting
- Dimmers and smart switches wired and configured
Ceiling Fans
A ceiling fan is only as safe as the box it hangs from. We install fan-rated bracing, run proper wiring, and balance the fan so it runs quiet on flat, sloped, or vaulted ceilings.
- Fan-rated boxes and bracing, never hung from a light box
- New circuits and switches added where none exist
- Vaulted and high-ceiling installs with the right downrod and remote
EV Charger Installation
Skip the public charger lines. A Level 2 home charger adds 25 to 40 miles of range per hour while you sleep. We confirm your panel can handle the load, run the dedicated circuit, and mount the charger where it’s actually convenient.
- Load calculation first, so you know your panel is ready before you buy
- Tesla, ChargePoint, Emporia, and every major charger brand
- Permitted, inspected installs that protect your warranty
Whole-Home Surge Protection
Colorado’s summer lightning season is hard on electronics. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel absorbs spikes before they reach your appliances, computers, and EV charger. That’s protection a power strip can’t offer.
- One device protects every circuit in the house
- Defends furnace boards, appliances, and smart-home gear
- Installed in about an hour, usually alongside other work
- Good Questions
Frequently asked questions
Common signs: breakers trip regularly, the panel is rated 100 amps or less, you still have a fuse box, lights dim when big appliances start, or you’re adding something power-hungry like an EV charger or hot tub. We’ll assess it during a free estimate. If your panel is fine, we’ll tell you.
Most installs take 2 to 4 hours when the panel has capacity and the garage is near the panel. Longer runs or a needed panel upgrade add time, and you’ll know the full scope and flat price before we start.
