Calling an electrician doesn't have to be stressful, and with Littleton Electrical Company, it won't be. Whether you own a home in Arapahoe County, manage a rental property, or run a commercial space, we handle the full range of electrical work: repairs and troubleshooting, breaker panel upgrades, new circuit installation, indoor and outdoor lighting, EV charger wiring, and backup generator hookups. We're available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM, so you're not stuck waiting until Monday to deal with a problem that showed up Friday night.
Safe wiring. Solid workmanship. Straight answers.
Staying ahead of electrical problems keeps your home safe. A flickering light might seem minor, but it can point to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a failing breaker. A dead outlet, a breaker that trips under normal load, a burning smell near a panel, or a buzzing sound you can't place are all diagnostic signals worth taking seriously.
We handle the full picture: tripping breakers, dead or sparking outlets, half-house power loss, and panel behavior that doesn't add up. GFCI and AFCI protection issues, grounding and bonding gaps, and circuit overloads are common calls we respond to for both homeowners and commercial clients across Littleton. With the fault traced before anything is replaced, you know exactly what the problem is and what fixing it involves before any work begins.
We get to the bottom of the problem fast.
From a single outlet to a full service upgrade, we cover the electrical work that homes and businesses in Littleton actually need. Below is a breakdown of what we handle.
Outlet and switch work covers more ground than most people expect. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI and AFCI outlets, USB outlets, outdoor and waterproof receptacles, and two-to-three prong upgrades. Dimmer switches, smart switches, and smart outlets are all straightforward jobs we handle regularly.
Adding a circuit is often simpler than people expect. Dedicated appliance circuits for dryers, ranges, and ovens are a common request, and we run code-compliant wiring for home additions, finished basements, garages, workshops, and detached sheds. Older homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring get proper remediation rather than a workaround.
Interior lighting work includes recessed and LED fixture installation, under-cabinet lighting, and replacement of existing fixtures. Outside, we wire security lights, motion sensor lights, and landscape lighting. Ceiling fan installation and replacement, including new wiring where no existing box is present, is a regular part of what we do.
Panel work ranges from breaker replacement and fuse box conversions to full 200-amp and 400-amp service upgrades. We also handle service entrance and meter upgrades, whole-home surge protection, and electrical safety and code inspections. You get straight answers about your panel and wiring, including what the panel can carry and what it can't, before any work is scheduled.
Level 2 EV charger installation requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and we handle the full job: load calculations, circuit installation, and proper wiring to support your charger, including Tesla-compatible setups. Smart home wiring, smart switch installation, and smart outlet upgrades round out this category for homeowners who are modernizing their electrical systems.
Colorado's Front Range winters are hard on homes and harder on electrical systems. Multi-day outages from ice and wind storms, heavy electric heating loads, frozen pipes, and roof ice dams are not edge cases in Littleton and the surrounding parts of Arapahoe County. They're routine. The three services below come up constantly here because the climate demands them.
When a winter storm knocks out power for two or three days, a generator is the difference between a manageable situation and a serious one. We handle generator hookups and transfer switch installation for both standby and portable generators, connecting the unit to your panel so it carries the loads you need during an outage. The scope and the price are confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled.
Older homes in the Littleton area were wired for a fraction of the electrical load a modern household puts on a panel. Add an EV charger, electric heating, and updated appliances, and an undersized panel becomes a real problem. We handle 200-amp and 400-amp upgrade paths, subpanel installation where the layout calls for it, and load calculations to make sure the new panel is sized for what the home actually needs. Code compliance is part of the job, not an afterthought.
Roof ice dams and frozen pipes are a recurring problem in Littleton winters, and heat tape is a practical way to manage both. The electrical side of this job means running a dedicated circuit, installing the outlet the tape plugs into, and confirming the panel has the capacity to carry the additional load. We stay on the electrical side of the work and make sure the installation is done right from the circuit out.
Flickering lights fixed. Dead outlets revived. Power back on.
If you've never hired an electrician before, the process is more straightforward than it might seem. You call, describe what you're dealing with, and get a clear picture of what the work involves and what it costs before anything is booked.
For homeowners, we handle everything from rewiring older properties and wiring home additions to installing outlets, lighting, and ceiling fans in finished spaces. Garage and block-heater circuits are a common request in Littleton, where winter temperatures make engine block heaters a practical necessity. Well-pump circuits, snow-melt system wiring, and dedicated appliance circuits round out the residential side.
Commercial clients, landlords, and property managers have different scheduling needs, and we work with that. Offices, retail spaces, and rental properties all get the same attention, whether it's an outlet upgrade between tenants, a panel inspection for a new lease, or a full commercial wiring job. We're available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM, which means commercial calls don't have to wait for a narrow weekday window. Prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, is part of how we operate.
We handle the wiring and clean up after.
Wiring a home right takes the right tools and a careful hand, and getting a price for the work should be just as straightforward. When you call, the person who answers knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone. The rate is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you're told what it covers.
There are no figures to list here for panel upgrades, EV charger installation, generator hookups, or outlet and ceiling fan work, because the price depends on what the job actually involves. What you get on the call is a real number based on your situation, not a range wide enough to be meaningless. Ask what the work covers and you'll get a direct answer.
Pick up the phone and we'll get rolling.
Littleton is our primary service city, and we cover the broader Arapahoe County area as well. Nearby communities we serve regularly include:
If you're in the area and need electrical work scheduled, call to confirm coverage at your address.
Call (720) 536-2956 and describe what you are dealing with.
The person who answers knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone, so you get a rate before anything is scheduled. We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
We cover Littleton and the surrounding communities in Arapahoe County, including Englewood, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Sheridan, and Parker. If you are unsure whether your address falls in our service area, call and we will confirm it on the spot.
The scope and the rate are confirmed on the call before anything is scheduled. If something unexpected turns up once the work is underway, that conversation happens before any additional work is done, not after. You are not presented with a revised number at the end of the visit without warning.
A description of the symptom or the job is usually enough to get started. For a repair call, tell us what you are seeing: which outlets or breakers are affected, whether the problem is in one room or the whole house, and whether anything changed before it started. For installation work like a panel upgrade or EV charger circuit, knowing the current panel size and where the work needs to land helps us scope it accurately.
Yes. We work with office tenants, retail operators, landlords, and property managers across Littleton and Arapahoe County. Commercial jobs include panel upgrades, outlet and lighting installation, circuit additions, and electrical work tied to tenant build-outs or lease transitions. The process is the same as residential: scope confirmed on the phone, rate given before scheduling.
Yes. Older homes in the Littleton area can carry knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, or panels that were undersized even when they were installed. We handle wiring remediation, panel replacements, and the code corrections that go along with updating an older system. The scope of that work is discussed on the call before anything is booked.
We take short-notice calls and fit urgent work in where the schedule has room. We are open every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM, which means a problem that comes up on a Friday evening or over the weekend does not have to wait until Monday.
Call (720) 536-2956 and we will tell you what is available.
It depends on the job. Some work, like replacing an outlet on a circuit that can be isolated at the breaker, requires only that circuit to be off. Panel work requires the main power to be off for part of the visit. We go over what to expect on the call so you can plan accordingly.
It varies by job type and current demand. Straightforward repairs and single-outlet work can often be scheduled within a day or two. Larger projects like panel upgrades or whole-house rewiring may need a bit more lead time to plan and gather materials. Call to ask what the current schedule looks like for your type of job.
Yes, and it helps the visit go smoothly. The panel needs to be accessible, which means removing anything stored in front of it. For wiring or outlet work in finished spaces, clearing furniture away from the walls where the work will happen saves time. We will let you know on the call if there is anything else specific to your job.
A breaker that trips repeatedly under normal load is telling you something: the circuit is overloaded, there is a fault in the wiring, or the breaker itself has failed. Resetting it without finding the cause does not fix the underlying problem and can make it worse. Call us and we will trace the fault before recommending a fix.
We're available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
When you call (720) 536-2956, you reach someone who knows the trade and can talk through what the job involves, what it will cost, and when it can be scheduled.
No forms to fill out. No waiting for a callback that may or may not come. Just a straight conversation about the work.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical work we handle in Littleton and the surrounding area. Each service is described by what it covers, who it fits, and one practical thing worth knowing before you call. If a job you need is not on the list, call us and we will talk through it.
| Type of Work | What It Covers | Best For | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| Homeowners updating older outlets or adding protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages | A single dead outlet is sometimes a tripped GFCI upstream rather than a failed device. We check the whole circuit before recommending a replacement. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| Homeowners or property managers dealing with a sudden or recurring electrical problem | The fault is traced before anything is replaced, which keeps the repair focused on the actual cause rather than a parts swap. |
| Wiring & Rewiring |
| Older homes where the existing wiring is the wrong type, deteriorated, or cannot support current loads | Rewiring scope depends on what is already in the walls. We scope the job on the call based on what you describe and confirm the approach before anything starts. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular |
| Homes adding EV chargers, electric ranges, or other high-draw appliances that push an older panel past its limit | A load calculation is part of every panel job. It confirms what the existing service can carry and what the new configuration needs to handle before anything is scheduled. |
| Breaker & Panel Service |
| Any property where a breaker trips under normal load or will not reset | A breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something. Replacing it without checking the circuit first can leave the underlying problem in place. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| Homeowners with sensitive electronics or anyone who wants every circuit in the building protected from a single installation | A panel-level surge protector covers every circuit in the home. Point-of-use strips at individual outlets do not provide that same whole-system coverage. |
| Lighting Installation |
| Homeowners updating a room or adding outdoor lighting for safety and visibility | Every lighting job includes confirming the existing wiring can support the new load. A new circuit is run where the current one cannot. |
| Backup Generator Installation |
| Littleton homeowners who want power during the multi-day winter outages that Front Range ice and wind storms can cause | The transfer switch is the critical piece. It prevents backfeed onto the utility line and lets the generator take over cleanly when grid power drops. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Homeowners adding a large appliance or setting up a workspace that needs its own protected path to the panel | Running a dryer or electric range on a shared circuit puts strain on the wiring and the breaker. A dedicated circuit eliminates that strain and stops nuisance tripping. |
| Heat Tape Installation |
| Homes in Littleton with pipes or roof edges at risk of freezing during extended cold snaps | Heat tape wiring must be rated for exterior and wet-location use. The circuit also needs proper protection, which is part of every heat tape installation we do. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| Rooms where only a light fixture exists and a fan is being added for the first time | A standard light box is not rated to support a ceiling fan. If the existing box is not fan-rated, we install the right brace and box before the fan goes up. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| Buyers, landlords, and property managers who need a clear picture of the electrical system before a transaction or lease | An inspection covers the panel, the wiring, the grounding, and the outlets and fixtures throughout the property. Findings are explained before the visit ends. |
Call (720) 536-2956 to talk through the job and get a price before anything is scheduled. We are available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
