Staying ahead of electrical problems keeps your home safe. Flickering lights, a dead outlet, a breaker that keeps tripping, a burning smell near a switch, an outlet that sparks when you plug something in, or power out in one room but not another, these are all signs that something needs attention before it becomes a hazard.
We start every repair call with a proper diagnosis. That means we find the actual cause, not just the symptom, and we explain what we found before we touch anything. From there we handle the fix: outlet and switch repair, GFCI outlet installation and replacement, AFCI circuit protection, dimmer switch installation, circuit breaker repair and replacement, and general electrical troubleshooting across the whole home or building.
We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, so there are no surprises when the job is done. We are one phone call from getting your power right.
From older homes to new commercial builds, the panel is the heart of your electrical system and it has to keep up with what you are asking it to do. We handle breaker panel repair and replacement, 200-amp panel upgrades, 200-amp service upgrades, subpanel installation, and main panel replacement. If your home is running on an undersized or outdated service entrance, we take care of the upgrade from meter to main breaker.
Older Littleton homes sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch-circuit wiring. Both carry real risks if left unaddressed. We do whole-home rewiring, knob-and-tube replacement, and aluminum wiring remediation, all with code-compliant wiring on every job.
When you add a new appliance, a home office, or a workshop, a dedicated circuit keeps that load off your general wiring. We install dedicated circuits for dryers, ranges, 240-volt outlets, and any appliance that needs its own breaker. Load calculations are part of the process so your panel can handle what you put on it.
Your panel is in good hands with us.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, a lighting or fan installation might seem like a simple job, but the wiring behind the wall matters just as much as what you see on the ceiling. We handle the full range of indoor and outdoor lighting work.
Inside, that includes recessed lighting installation, light fixture installation and replacement, under-cabinet lighting, and bathroom exhaust fan wiring. Outside, we install exterior lighting, landscape lighting, security lights, motion sensor lights, flood lights, and porch lights. If you want to improve visibility around your property or add a layer of security, outdoor lighting is one of the most practical upgrades you can make.
Ceiling fan installation, replacement, and wiring round out this section. Whether you are swapping an old fixture or running new wiring to a room that never had a fan, we take care of it cleanly and safely. One ring and we are on it.
Colorado winters hit hard in this part of the state. Sub-freezing temperatures, ice storms, and high-altitude wind events are a regular part of life in Littleton, and they put real demands on your home's electrical system. The three services below come up constantly in this area for good reason.
When a winter storm knocks out power for a day or more, a standby generator keeps your heat, lights, and essential circuits running. We handle the full electrical side of generator installation: whole-house generator hookup, transfer switch installation (both automatic and manual), and all generator wiring from the unit to your panel. An automatic transfer switch detects an outage and starts the generator without you having to do anything, which matters most when conditions outside are bad. If you have been thinking about backup power, Littleton's storm history makes a strong case for getting it done before you need it.
Older housing stock across the Littleton area was built for lighter electrical loads than most households carry today. Add an EV charger, a home office, a second refrigerator, or modern appliances, and a 100-amp service can run out of headroom fast. We upgrade panels to 200-amp service, install subpanels for garages and additions, and handle commercial panel upgrades for businesses with growing electrical demands. Every upgrade includes a load calculation so the new panel is sized correctly for your actual usage, not just what you have today.
Freeze-thaw cycles in Colorado are hard on pipes and rooflines. When temperatures swing below freezing and back up again, ice dams form on roofs and exposed pipes are at real risk of freezing. Heat tape systems run along pipes and eaves to prevent that damage, but they need a properly wired dedicated circuit to operate safely. We run the circuit, install the outlet, and make sure the electrical supply to your heat tape system is sized and protected correctly. The electrical work is what we do; getting that circuit right is what keeps the system safe all winter.
We are one phone call from getting your power right.
Here is what most people get wrong about their wiring: a Level 2 EV charger is not just a plug. It is a 240-volt dedicated circuit, and your panel needs the capacity to support it. We install home EV charging stations and run the dedicated circuit from your panel to the garage or driveway. If your panel is already close to capacity, we address that first so the charger operates safely and at full speed.
Whole-home surge protection works the same way: one device installed at the panel protects every circuit and every outlet downstream from voltage spikes. A single lightning strike or utility surge can damage appliances, electronics, and wiring throughout the house. A whole-house surge protector is one of the most cost-effective things you can add to an existing panel, and the installation is straightforward. The wiring done right the first time means your equipment stays protected for years.
Your panel is in good hands with us.
Businesses, property managers, and landlords in the Littleton area rely on us for commercial electrical work across a wide range of scopes. We handle commercial wiring, commercial panel upgrades, commercial lighting installation, and electrical work for offices, retail spaces, and warehouse facilities. Whether you are building out a new tenant space, upgrading an aging panel in an older commercial building, or adding circuits for new equipment, we handle the job from start to finish.
Work performed by licensed electricians means your project meets code and passes inspection. We serve commercial clients with the same clear communication and upfront pricing we bring to every residential job. One ring and we are on it.
Electrical pricing depends on the scope of the job, and we do not pretend otherwise. What we can promise is a clear quote before any work begins. You will know what the job costs before we pick up a tool, and the invoice will match what we discussed.
Same-day availability means that when something goes wrong, you do not have to wait until next week. We take same-day calls for repairs, troubleshooting, and urgent installs. For situations that cannot wait, we are available around the clock. Whether you need an electrician today or want to schedule something for next week, call us and we will work out the timing together.
We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test.
An electrical safety inspection is a smart move any time you are buying a home, dealing with older wiring, or planning to add circuits to an existing system. We check the panel, the wiring, grounding and bonding, arc-fault and ground-fault protection, outlet condition, and the overall state of the system against current code.
We also handle hard-wired smoke detector installation and carbon monoxide detector wiring as part of a safety upgrade. Older homes in the area often have battery-only detectors where hard-wired units with battery backup would provide better protection. Code-compliant wiring on every job applies here too, so the inspection and any follow-up work leave your system in solid shape.
Littleton is our home base, and we serve customers across Arapahoe County and the broader South Metro Denver area. Nearby communities we regularly work in include Englewood, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker, and Sheridan. If you are just outside Littleton and wondering whether we cover your area, give us a call and we will confirm.
When you call, we gather the basics about your situation: what you are seeing, where in the home or building it is happening, and whether it is urgent. From there we get you on the schedule, give you a realistic arrival window, and confirm the appointment before we hang up. A licensed electrician shows up ready to diagnose and work, not just take a look and reschedule.
We offer same-day availability for many calls, and for genuine electrical emergencies we are available around the clock. When you call, we will tell you honestly what the earliest opening looks like and work with your schedule from there. If something is urgent, say so and we will prioritize accordingly.
Stop using that outlet, switch, or circuit immediately and do not reset the breaker. If the panel itself is sparking or hot, do not touch it. Call us at (720) 536-2956 right away so we can assess whether you need someone there urgently. These are signs of a potentially serious wiring problem, not something to monitor and revisit later.
A partial outage, where some rooms have power and others do not, usually points to a tripped breaker, a tripped GFCI outlet that feeds other outlets downstream, or a problem at the service entrance. Check your panel for any breakers that have moved to the middle position and reset them fully before calling. If the breaker trips again immediately or you cannot identify the cause, call us and we will diagnose it properly.
The more detail you can share, the more accurate the estimate. Helpful information includes what the problem is or what you want installed, the age of your home or building, whether you know the size of your current panel, and whether you have had any recent electrical work done. For straightforward repairs we can often quote over the phone; for larger jobs like panel upgrades or rewiring, we may need to see the panel and the affected areas first.
Someone needs to be present to provide access and point out the relevant outlets, switches, or panel. If you cannot be there yourself, another adult who knows the property and can show the electrician the work areas is fine. Let us know in advance if access arrangements are unusual and we will make sure the visit goes smoothly.
Yes, and it helps. Walk the electrician through what you have noticed: which outlets are dead, which breakers are tripping, where you heard the buzzing or saw the scorch mark. That context speeds up diagnosis and reduces the chance of missing a related issue nearby. We do a thorough check regardless, but your observations are useful starting information.
It helps to clear a path to the panel and to move furniture or storage away from outlets and switches that need attention. You do not need to do a full room clear, but the more accessible the work area is, the faster the job goes. We will let you know if anything specific needs to be moved once we see the space.
Just call us at (720) 536-2956 and we will move your appointment to a time that works. We ask for as much notice as possible so we can fill the slot with another customer who needs service. Same-day rescheduling is sometimes possible depending on availability.
Kitchen circuits carry heavy loads from refrigerators, microwaves, toasters, and coffee makers, often on circuits that were not sized for everything running at once. Repeated tripping usually means the circuit is overloaded, the breaker itself is worn out, or there is a wiring fault somewhere on the circuit. We diagnose the cause, explain what we find, and recommend whether a circuit upgrade, a dedicated circuit for a high-draw appliance, or a breaker replacement is the right fix.
A repair addresses a specific failed component: a bad outlet, a tripped breaker, a faulty switch. A panel or service upgrade replaces the entire distribution system and typically involves a permit and a utility coordination step. Many homeowners start with a repair call and discover during diagnosis that the panel itself is the underlying issue. We explain the options clearly so you can decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.
We are locally owned, available when you need us, and upfront about what the work will cost. Every job is handled by licensed electricians who know the area and take the work seriously. E Z Electrical Services has been doing this in Littleton since 1995, and we stand behind every job we complete.

| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| homeowners adding a major appliance, home office, or workshop | A dedicated circuit keeps a high-draw appliance off your general wiring and prevents nuisance tripping. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| homes with a breaker that trips repeatedly or will not reset | A breaker that keeps tripping often signals an overloaded circuit or a failing breaker, not just a nuisance. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas requiring code-compliant protection | GFCI outlets are required by code in wet areas and are one of the most practical safety upgrades in an older home. |
| Lighting Installation |
| homeowners upgrading interior lighting or adding exterior security lighting | Outdoor lighting is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve both safety and curb appeal. |
How do I know if my panel needs to be upgraded?
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, lights that dim when large appliances start up, or a 100-amp service that you are trying to add an EV charger or major appliance to. Older panels with fuses instead of breakers are also a strong candidate for replacement. We do a load calculation during the visit so you know exactly whether an upgrade makes sense for your situation.
What causes a breaker to trip repeatedly?
Repeated tripping usually means one of three things: the circuit is overloaded and drawing more current than it was designed to handle, the breaker itself is worn and trips too easily, or there is a wiring fault somewhere on the circuit. Kitchen circuits are a common example because so many high-draw appliances share the same circuit. We diagnose the actual cause rather than just resetting the breaker and calling it done.
Is electrical work in Littleton permitted and inspected?
Most significant electrical work, including panel upgrades, new circuit installations, and rewiring, requires a permit and a code inspection. We handle the permit process and make sure the work meets current code before it is inspected. Code-compliant wiring on every job is not just a phrase for us; it is how we make sure the work holds up when it is reviewed.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
When something goes wrong with your electrical system, you should not have to wait a week for help. We take same-day calls for repairs and troubleshooting, and we are available around the clock for situations that cannot wait.
Is the wiring in my older home safe?
It depends on the type and condition of the wiring. Homes built before the 1970s may have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch-circuit wiring, both of which carry real risks if they have not been updated or properly maintained. Neither is automatically a crisis, but both deserve a professional look. An electrical safety inspection tells you exactly what you have and whether any remediation is needed.
What does an EV charger installation actually involve?
A Level 2 home EV charger runs on a 240-volt dedicated circuit, the same type that powers a dryer or range. We run that circuit from your panel to the garage or driveway, install the correct outlet or hardwired connection, and check that your panel has the capacity to support it. If the panel is close to full, we address that first so the charger operates safely and at full charging speed.
Why do outlets or switches stop working?
A dead outlet is often caused by a tripped GFCI outlet somewhere upstream on the same circuit, a tripped breaker, or a loose connection behind the outlet itself. A dead switch is usually a failed switch or a wiring connection that has come loose over time. We trace the circuit, find the actual cause, and repair it correctly rather than guessing.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear quote before any work begins, and the invoice matches what we discussed. You will know what the job costs before we pick up a tool.
What does it mean if my lights flicker or dim?
Occasional dimming when a large appliance starts up can be normal, but persistent flickering or dimming across multiple rooms usually points to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a panel that is struggling to supply consistent voltage. It is worth having us take a look before a loose connection becomes a more serious wiring problem.
Is a warm or buzzing outlet a serious problem?
Yes. A warm outlet or one that buzzes, sparks, or smells like burning is a sign of a wiring problem that needs immediate attention. Stop using that outlet, do not reset the breaker if it has tripped, and call us. These are not symptoms to monitor and revisit later.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
From knob-and-tube rewiring in a 1950s bungalow to a panel upgrade in a newer build adding an EV charger, we handle the full range of residential electrical work in the Littleton area.
How do I know if my home is ready for added electrical load?
The short answer is a load calculation. We look at your current panel size, what is already on it, and what you are planning to add, whether that is an EV charger, a workshop, a hot tub circuit, or a new appliance. That calculation tells us whether your existing service can handle the addition or whether a panel or service upgrade needs to happen first.
How long does a panel upgrade typically take?
Most residential panel upgrades take the better part of a day. The work involves shutting off power to the home, removing the old panel, installing and wiring the new one, and coordinating with the utility for the service connection. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start and keep you informed as the job progresses.
Can I attempt electrical repairs myself?
Swapping a light bulb or resetting a tripped breaker is reasonable. Beyond that, electrical work involves real risks: shock, fire, and code violations that can create problems when you sell the home or make an insurance claim. Work performed by licensed electricians is the right call for anything involving wiring, panels, or new circuits.
Every electrical situation is a little different, so call us at (720) 536-2956 and we will give you a straight answer about what the work involves and what it will cost.
