Electrical problems in a home do not always announce themselves loudly. A breaker that trips a little too often, an outlet that stopped working in one corner of the kitchen, a panel that hums when the heat kicks on, these are the things that get pushed to the back of the list until they cannot be ignored anymore. We handle electrical repair and installation across Broomfield and the surrounding area, from single-circuit repairs to full service upgrades, and we are available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM.
Homes and commercial properties in a city this size generate a wide range of electrical work. Landlords dealing with outlet issues between tenants, homeowners adding circuits for new appliances, businesses upgrading lighting or panel capacity, all of it falls within what we do.

Lighting work covers more ground than most people expect, and it is often worth combining with other electrical work already underway.
Inside, the most common requests are recessed lighting, LED fixture replacements, and under-cabinet lighting in kitchens. Recessed lighting involves running circuits to new locations in the ceiling, not just swapping a fixture, so the wiring side of the job matters as much as the fixture choice. If a room is already being rewired or a new circuit is being added, adding lighting to that run is straightforward and avoids a second visit later.
Dimmer switches, smart switches, and ceiling fan combinations with integrated lighting are all jobs we handle. Each one involves confirming the existing wiring is rated for the load and the control type being installed.
Outside, security lights, motion-activated fixtures, and driveway or walkway lighting all require weatherproof wiring and properly rated exterior connections. These are not plug-in installations. They involve a circuit run from the panel, exterior-rated conduit or direct-burial cable where required, and a connection point that holds up through freeze-thaw cycles. If you are adding outdoor lighting at the same time as a panel upgrade or a new circuit for another purpose, the work can often be combined efficiently.
The price for electrical work depends on what the job actually involves. A repair call starts with tracing the fault, and what that fault turns out to be is the first thing that moves the number. A loose connection at a single outlet is a different scope from a wiring fault that runs back through several circuits to the panel. What has to be opened up to reach the problem, how the existing wiring is routed, and whether the circuit or panel can carry the change without modification all factor in.
For installation work, load calculations are part of scoping the job. Adding a dedicated circuit for a dryer or a Level 2 EV charger requires confirming the panel has the capacity to carry it. If it does not, the panel work becomes part of the conversation before the installation quote is final.
You get a straight answer about the work before it is scheduled.
Call (720) 536-2956, describe what you are dealing with, and the person who answers can scope the job on the phone and give you a rate before anything is booked.
If something unexpected turns up once the work is underway, that conversation happens before the additional work starts. The price is confirmed before we schedule, and what it covers is explained up front.
Properties of a certain age in this region carry wiring that was installed under different standards and for lighter loads than what a modern household runs. Knob-and-tube wiring, which routes unsheathed conductors through ceramic insulators, was common in homes built through the mid-twentieth century. It was not designed for the circuit density or the appliance loads those homes now carry. Where it is intact and undisturbed, it may not be an immediate hazard, but it cannot be extended, it cannot support modern grounded outlets, and it is often a condition of homeowner's insurance that it be replaced before coverage is issued or renewed.
Aluminum branch circuit wiring is a different issue. It was used in residential construction during a period when copper prices spiked, and it behaves differently from copper at connections, expanding and contracting at a different rate and oxidizing in ways that increase resistance at the terminal. That resistance shows up as warm outlets, flickering lights, or breakers that trip without an obvious cause. Aluminum wiring remediation does not always mean replacing every run. It means addressing the connections systematically, using compatible devices and anti-oxidant compound at every termination, and confirming that the panel connections are handled correctly. We go through what applies to your property on the call before anything is scheduled.
Some electrical problems will not keep. A dead outlet on a circuit that feeds critical equipment, a panel that is behaving unpredictably, a breaker that will not hold, these are not situations where waiting a week makes sense. We take short-notice calls and fit urgent work into the schedule as quickly as the calendar allows. Being available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:30 PM means a problem that turns up on a Saturday evening does not have to wait until Monday.
For rental properties and commercial spaces, the scheduling conversation involves more than a date and a time. A tenant needs to be home, or access needs to be arranged through a property manager. A business that cannot shut down a section of its space during business hours needs work scheduled around its operations. We work through those details on the call so the visit is set up correctly before anyone shows up. Prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, is part of how we operate. What the work involves is covered on the services page covering electrical work.
Landlords and property managers often book electrical work for a property they are not present at. That means the person who lets us in is not the person who gets the invoice, and what needs to be on record afterward is different from a simple homeowner job.
We confirm access arrangements on the call: who will be at the property, whether a tenant has been notified, and what the preferred contact is for questions during the visit. After the work is done, the scope of what was completed is clear, which matters when a landlord needs documentation for a tenant, for a code correction record, or for a property sale. If you are managing multiple units in Broomfield and need electrical work coordinated across more than one address, call and we will work through the logistics before anything is scheduled.
Doorbell wiring, data cabling, and low-voltage rough-in work come up most often during renovations or when a home is being set up for smart home devices. A doorbell that stopped working is sometimes a transformer issue, sometimes a wiring fault, and sometimes a device compatibility problem with a newer video doorbell that draws more current than the original transformer was sized for. Data and low-voltage rough-in during a renovation is the right time to run structured wiring to the locations that will need it, before the walls close back up.
A ceiling fan installation is straightforward when an existing ceiling box is already rated for fan support and a switch leg is in place. It is a different job when neither of those is true. A standard light fixture box is not rated to carry the dynamic load of a spinning fan, and using one is a failure point. Where a new circuit or a proper fan-rated box needs to be installed, that work goes in first. Replacement fans on existing fan-rated boxes are a simpler scope, and we handle both.
As described above, aluminum branch circuit wiring requires a systematic approach at every connection point in the home. The work involves replacing standard outlets and switches with devices rated for aluminum wiring, using anti-oxidant compound at every termination, and confirming that panel connections are handled correctly. Arc-fault and ground-fault breaker upgrades are often part of the same project, since older panels in homes with aluminum wiring frequently lack the protection that current code requires on bedroom and kitchen circuits.
Running power to a detached garage, a shed, or an electric gate involves a circuit from the main panel, properly buried or conduit-run cable to the outbuilding, and a subpanel or disconnect at the far end sized for what the space needs. A garage with a block heater outlet, lighting, and a workbench circuit has different load requirements from a shed with a single light. Electric gates add a control circuit and often a dedicated disconnect. We size the supply circuit and the subpanel for what the space will actually be used for, not just what it needs today.
We cover Broomfield and the surrounding communities in Broomfield County and the areas that border it. Neighbors we regularly take calls from include Lafayette, Louisville, Westminster, Northglenn, and Superior. If you are just outside Broomfield and unsure whether your address falls within our service area, call and we will confirm it on the spot. The work is handled locally, and coverage questions are answered the same way every other question is: on the phone, before anything is scheduled.
Outdoor wiring runs in conduit rated for exterior use, or uses direct-burial cable where conduit is not required. Connections are made in weatherproof boxes with covers rated for the location. The goal is an installation that holds up to the weather it will actually be exposed to.
Generator hookups and panel capacity questions are the most common calls when the weather turns. Homes that run electric heating put a significant load on the panel, and a panel that was already near capacity can become a problem when that load increases. Heat tape circuits for pipes and roof edges are also a regular request once temperatures drop. Call and we will go over what your property actually needs before anything is scheduled.
Stored items in the path of the work need to be moved so we can access the wiring and joists safely. We go over what access is needed on the call so you know what to clear before the visit. An attic that is fully packed makes the work slower and harder to do safely.
Permit requirements for electrical work depend on the scope of the job and sometimes on whether the work touches the service entrance or the panel. We go over what applies to your specific job on the call, and where a permit is required, that is part of how the work is scoped and completed. You do not need to research the requirements yourself before calling.
A motor starting up draws a surge of current that is several times its running load. That momentary draw causes a brief voltage drop on the circuit, which shows up as a dip in the lights. If the dimming is brief and occasional it is usually normal. If it is pronounced or happening on circuits that should not be affected, it is worth looking at the panel and the circuit layout.
Electrical problems that get ignored do not stay the same size. A warm outlet, a breaker that trips every few weeks, a panel that was already undersized before the last appliance was added, these are the things people mean to deal with and then do not.
Call (720) 536-2956 and we will talk through what you are seeing.

Below is a plain-language look at the electrical work we handle in Broomfield 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| Heat Tape Installation |
| Homes in Broomfield 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. |
| 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. |
