A standard 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrade in Denver runs $1,800 to $4,000. That includes the new main panel, all breakers, bonding and grounding upgrades, coordination with Xcel Energy for the meter disconnect, permits, and the city inspection. The range depends on the condition of your existing service entrance cable, whether the meter base needs replacement, and whether Xcel has to re-pull the service drop. Many older Denver homes in Capitol Hill, Park Hill, and the Highlands are still running original 100-amp panels that cannot safely support modern loads — we provide a detailed written estimate after an on-site walkthrough.

Yes. We answer the phone and dispatch a licensed electrician 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Our average emergency response time is 30 minutes anywhere in the Denver metro — and if we are late, the service call fee is waived. Emergency calls carry a $75–$150 service fee plus the cost of the repair. If you smell burning near the panel, see sparks, or lose power to part of the house unexpectedly, call us immediately. Electrical faults are fire hazards.

A Level 2 EV charger install runs $1,000–$2,500 and includes a dedicated 240V, 50-amp circuit from your panel to the garage or driveway charging location. We verify the panel has adequate capacity, route conduit cleanly through the garage, install the outlet or hardwire the charger unit, and handle the permit and inspection. Denver drivers are switching to EVs at one of the highest rates in the country, and a home charger charges overnight versus the hours public stations require. If your panel needs an upgrade to support the new circuit, we flag that on the estimate and quote it separately.

Whole-home standby generators run $5,000–$15,000 fully installed depending on the unit size (7.5kW to 26kW), fuel type (natural gas or propane), and site preparation. The price includes the generator, automatic transfer switch, concrete pad, fuel connection, all electrical work, permits, and inspection. We are authorized Generac dealers and can help size the right system for your square footage and critical loads. Denver's Front Range winters have knocked out Xcel power for days at a time — having a standby unit means your furnace, refrigerator, and medical equipment stay operational regardless.

Yes, on every job that requires one. Panel upgrades, generator installs, new circuits, EV chargers, and any rewiring work includes permit application, code-compliant installation, and scheduled city inspection as part of the quoted price. We work with Denver Building Services and permitting offices in Jefferson, Arapahoe, and Adams counties. You never deal with the city yourself, and our 100% first-try inspection pass rate means you are not waiting for a re-inspection.

Adding a new electrical outlet runs $100–$300 depending on wiring distance from the panel and whether wall access is needed. GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations, USB charging outlets, and smart dimmer switches fall in the same range. We discount multiple outlets installed in the same visit since mobilization time is shared. GFCI protection is required by NEC in all wet and damp locations — upgrading old unprotected outlets is inexpensive insurance against shock.

A panel-mounted surge protector absorbs voltage spikes from lightning strikes, grid switching, and large appliance cycling before they reach your electronics and appliances. Denver's altitude and afternoon monsoon storm season produce significantly more lightning exposure than most US cities. Installation runs $250–$500 and can prevent thousands of dollars in damage to TVs, computers, HVAC controls, and smart home equipment. It is one of the highest-return safety upgrades we offer.

Yes. We install recessed LED lighting in existing ceilings without major renovation. The process starts with planning a layout for the right spacing and foot-candle levels, then cutting precise holes, running wire through the ceiling cavity, and installing IC-rated (insulation-contact) LED fixtures with dimmable switches. Cost is $150–$300 per light depending on ceiling accessibility and wiring distance. Most rooms are completed in a single day.

We run Cat6 data cabling to every room, install Lutron Caseta or RadioRA smart lighting controls, wire motorized shades, and pre-wire for whole-home audio and home theater. Automation integration covers Control4, Savant, and Apple HomeKit. Smart home wiring packages range from $1,000 to $3,000. The best time to run cable is during a renovation when walls are open, but we can retrofit existing homes as well — it just takes a bit more care to keep the walls intact.

Common signals: breakers that trip repeatedly under normal load, a panel warm or hot to the touch, visible corrosion or burn marks, a fuse box instead of breakers, or a 100-amp panel in a home with an EV charger, hot tub, or central AC. Denver's renovation boom has meant many Highlands, Berkeley, and Whittier homes are getting electrical makeovers — and the original panel is usually the first thing that needs to change. We offer free panel assessments and will tell you honestly whether an upgrade is necessary or whether a simpler fix solves the problem.
