What we do

Residential electrical work, done right the first time

From a dead outlet to a full 200-amp service upgrade — if it’s electrical and it’s in a home, it’s what we do all day.

Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting

Breakers that keep tripping, flickering lights, dead outlets, that outlet that smells hot. We find the actual cause instead of guessing.

Panel Upgrades

Running out of breaker space or still on a 100-amp panel from 1968? We upgrade to modern 200-amp service, permitted and inspected.

Lighting Installation

Recessed cans, under-cabinet strips, pendants, landscape and security lighting. Better light changes a room more than paint does.

Ceiling Fans

New installs, swap-outs, and fans on vaulted or sloped ceilings. Properly braced boxes so nothing wobbles or hums.

EV Charger Installation

Level 2 chargers for Tesla, Ford, Rivian, Chevy and the rest. Load calculation first, so your panel can actually handle it.

Whole-Home Surge Protection

Colorado storms are hard on electronics. A panel-mounted surge protector guards everything at once — furnace, fridge, TVs, computers.

Our specialty

Old Town homes weren't wired for how we live now

A 1920s bungalow off Mountain Ave was built for a few lamps and a radio. Now it’s running a heat pump, an induction range, a hot tub and two laptops per bedroom.

Growing fast in Northern Colorado

Charge at home overnight instead of hunting for a plug

New builds in Timnath and Windsor often have the conduit stubbed in but no charger wired. We finish the job properly — and check that your panel can carry the load before we sell you anything.

How it works

Three steps, no runaround

You shouldn’t have to chase an electrician for a callback. Here’s exactly what happens.

01

Tell us what's going on

Call, text, or send the form. Describe the problem or the project — photos help. We answer the same day during business hours.

02

Get a flat, written quote

We look at the job, explain your options in plain English, and give you one number. No hourly meter running, no “we’ll see when we open it up.”

03

We do the work and clean up

Drop cloths down, shoes covered, debris hauled out. Permits pulled where required. You get photos of what we did and a warranty in writing.

Where we work

Northern Colorado is our whole map

We’re not a franchise dispatching from Denver. We live here, we work here, and we know the difference between permitting in Fort Collins and permitting in Windsor.

Common questions

Things homeowners ask us

No. Estimates are free for planned work like panel upgrades, EV chargers, lighting and fan installs. For diagnostic calls — where the job is finding out why something is failing — there’s a flat trip and diagnostic fee, which we tell you before we come out and credit toward the repair if you have us do the work.

It depends on your current service size, whether the meter socket and mast need replacing, how far the panel sits from the meter, and what the utility requires. Anyone who quotes you a firm number over the phone without seeing it is guessing. We look at it, then give you one flat written price with the permit included.

For most work beyond swapping a fixture or device, yes. Panel upgrades, new circuits, service changes and EV charger installs all require a permit and inspection in our service area. We pull it, we meet the inspector, and you get the signed-off paperwork — which matters a lot when you sell the house.

Fair question, and we’d rather answer it straight. We’re newly licensed, which means we’re working to the current code cycle, not the one we learned twenty years ago. It also means you get the owner on the phone and on the job — not a dispatcher and whoever was available. We’re insured, we pull permits, and every install carries a two-year workmanship warranty.

Yes, emergency service is available outside our regular Monday–Friday 7am–6pm hours. If you smell burning, see scorch marks around an outlet or panel, or have sparking, shut the breaker off and call us. If there’s smoke or fire, call 911 first.
