E Z Electrical Services has been handling residential and commercial electrical work in Littleton since 1995. From everyday repairs to full panel upgrades, we show up ready to work, with licensed electricians on every job and the wiring done right the first time. Need same-day service? We offer same-day availability and after-hours response for urgent calls. One call. One electrician. One fair price.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, get it looked at. Flickering lights, dead outlets, tripping breakers, a burning smell near a panel, a sparking or warm outlet, a buzzing breaker, or a room with no power at all -- these are signs that something is wrong and needs a real diagnosis, not a guess.
We run a thorough troubleshooting process to find the root cause before we touch a wire. That means checking circuits, testing outlets, inspecting breakers, and looking at grounding and bonding where problems suggest it. We install GFCI and AFCI protection where code requires it and where added safety makes sense. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test so you always know what we found, what we fixed, and why.
One ring and we're on it.
From older homes to new commercial builds, the panel is the heart of the electrical system. If yours is undersized, outdated, or simply worn out, it creates real problems: tripped breakers under normal loads, circuits that can't support modern appliances, and a system that isn't safe to expand.
We handle full panel replacements, upgrades from 100-amp to 200-amp service, circuit breaker replacement, subpanel installation, and service-entrance and meter upgrades. Before we add circuits or recommend a panel size, we run load calculations to make sure the new setup handles your actual demand. That includes dedicated appliance circuits for dryers, ranges, and 240-volt equipment. Code-compliant wiring on every job is how we work, not an optional add-on.
Your panel is in good hands with us.
Whether you need a single GFCI outlet replaced in a bathroom or a full circuit run to a new addition, we handle it. We install standard outlets, GFCI outlets, AFCI outlets, USB outlets, dimmer switches, and standard switches throughout homes and commercial spaces.
We also wire garages, basements, attics, sheds, and home additions. Adding a workshop in the garage or finishing a basement in Arapahoe County often means running new circuits, adding a subpanel, and making sure everything meets current code. We do that work cleanly and correctly the first time, so future inspections are not a problem.
We're one phone call from getting your power right.
Staying ahead of electrical problems keeps your home safe. Good lighting is part of that. We install recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, pendant fixtures, and ceiling fans throughout the home. Outside, we handle security lighting, landscape lighting, and general exterior fixtures that improve both curb appeal and visibility after dark.
Ceiling fan installation is one of our most common calls. Whether it is a straightforward swap or a new wiring run where no fan existed before, we handle both. Exterior lighting upgrades are worth a call too, especially for properties where safety and visibility around entry points matter.

Homes built before the 1980s sometimes still carry knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch-circuit wiring. Both present real safety concerns. We handle whole-home rewiring, knob-and-tube replacement, and aluminum-wiring remediation. If your home has older wiring, an electrical safety inspection is a smart first step.
We perform home electrical inspections for owners, buyers, and sellers. Pre-listing inspections and pre-purchase inspections are common calls from real estate agents and buyers who want to know what they are dealing with before closing. Landlords and property managers also call us regularly to bring rental units up to code before a new tenant moves in.
With a local company, your questions go straight to the people doing the work. There is no middleman between you and the electrician who will be on-site.

Here's what most people get wrong about their wiring: they wait until something fails before calling. For commercial properties, that is a costly approach. We work with office buildings, retail spaces, restaurants, and warehouses across the Littleton area and the broader south metro. We also serve apartment building owners, landlords, and property managers who need reliable electrical work done on a schedule that works for their tenants.
New construction and renovation work is a regular part of what we do. Home additions, commercial build-outs, and full renovations all require careful circuit planning, load calculations, and inspections. We also install whole-home and commercial surge protection, which matters in multi-unit buildings where a single voltage spike can damage equipment across multiple units.
One ring and we're on it.
Colorado winters are not gentle. Sub-freezing temperatures, ice storms, and heavy wind events are part of life here, and the electrical system in an older Littleton home was often not designed with today's loads or today's weather in mind. The three services below come up constantly in this area for reasons that are specific to the climate and the local housing stock.
When a winter ice storm knocks out power for two or three days, a backup generator is not a luxury. It is how you keep the heat running, the lights on, and the refrigerator working. We handle the electrical side of generator installation: the transfer switch, the generator circuits, and the wiring that connects the unit to your panel safely. A properly installed transfer switch protects both your home and utility workers during an outage.
Many homes in the Littleton area were built in the 1960s through 1980s with 100-amp panels. That was enough for the loads of that era. Today, with electric ranges, EV chargers, home offices, and the kind of heating loads that come with a Colorado winter, those panels are frequently maxed out. We upgrade panels to 200-amp service, add subpanels where needed, and run load calculations to make sure the new setup handles everything you are adding now and in the near future.
Freeze-thaw cycles in Colorado put pipes at real risk, particularly in unheated crawl spaces, garages, and exterior wall cavities. Heat tape is a practical solution, but it needs a dedicated circuit and proper GFCI protection to operate safely. We install the circuit and the outlet that powers heat tape systems, making sure the electrical supply is sized correctly and protected against ground faults. The plumbing side is not our trade, but the power that runs the system is.
Level 2 EV charger installation is one of the fastest-growing service calls we get. A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and depending on your panel's current capacity, it may also require a panel upgrade before installation. We assess your panel load, run the dedicated circuit, and install the charger outlet so your vehicle charges overnight without straining the system.
Whole-home surge protection is a smart addition at the same time. A surge protector installed at the panel guards every circuit in the house against voltage spikes from lightning, utility switching, and large motor loads. We also check grounding and bonding as part of any surge protection installation, because a properly grounded system is what makes surge protection work the way it should.
Simple booking. Clear pricing. Safe, solid wiring.
We're one phone call from getting your power right.
We give you a clear quote before work begins. No surprises at the end of the job. Small repairs and large projects are priced the same way: honestly, based on what the work actually requires.
We offer same-day availability for many calls and after-hours response for electrical emergencies. If something goes wrong at night or on a weekend, you do not have to wait until Monday to get it looked at.
We serve Littleton and the surrounding communities throughout Arapahoe County and the south metro, including Englewood, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker, and Aurora. If you are nearby and need an electrician, we can likely get to you quickly.
One ring and we're on it.
A sparking outlet or panel, wiring that smells like it is burning, a breaker that will not hold under normal load, or a partial or complete power loss to the home are all situations that warrant an urgent call. If you are unsure whether your situation is an emergency, call us and describe what you are seeing. We would rather have you call and find out it can wait than have you wait on something that needs immediate attention.
After-hours and emergency calls may carry a different rate than standard scheduled service. When you call, we will be upfront about what the pricing looks like before anyone is dispatched. You will know the cost before we roll a truck.
Flickering or dimming lights usually point to a loose connection somewhere in the circuit, an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or a problem at the service entrance. Occasional dimming when a large appliance like a refrigerator or HVAC unit starts up is common and may just reflect an undersized circuit. Persistent or worsening flickering is worth a proper diagnosis because loose connections can generate heat over time and become a fire hazard.
Frequent breaker trips, outlets that feel warm or show discoloration, lights that flicker without an obvious cause, a panel that hums or buzzes, and wiring that has not been updated since the home was built are all signs worth investigating. Homes in the Littleton area built before 1980 sometimes still carry knob-and-tube or aluminum branch-circuit wiring, both of which require evaluation and often remediation. An electrical safety inspection is the right first step if you are unsure about the condition of your system.
We start by gathering information from you about what you observed, then we test the affected outlets, switches, and circuits systematically. That includes checking for tripped GFCI outlets that may be feeding dead downstream outlets, testing breaker function, and inspecting connections at the panel. We trace the issue back to its source before we recommend any repair, so the fix addresses the actual cause rather than just the visible symptom.
We look at the breaker condition, the panel capacity relative to the current load, the service entrance wiring, and the grounding and bonding connections. If there are double-tapped breakers, undersized wiring, or signs of overheating, we note them and explain what they mean. For panel upgrade jobs, we also run a load calculation to make sure the new panel is sized correctly for your actual and anticipated demand.
Homes built in the 1960s through 1980s were wired for the electrical loads of that era, which were significantly lighter than what a modern household puts on a system. A 100-amp panel with circuits designed for a few lights and a television was not built to carry an EV charger, a home office, a modern kitchen, and a large HVAC load simultaneously. Frequent tripping is often the panel telling you it has run out of capacity, not a sign that individual breakers are failing.
Yes. GFCI outlets can be installed in ungrounded locations and provide the shock protection required by code even without a ground wire present. They must be labeled as ungrounded per code requirements. Adding true grounded outlets throughout an older home typically involves running new wiring back to the panel, which is a rewiring scope. We assess the situation and explain the options so you can decide what level of upgrade makes sense.
Any appliance that draws a sustained high load should have its own dedicated circuit: electric dryers, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators, chest freezers, EV chargers, and workshop equipment all qualify. A dedicated circuit means that appliance has its own breaker and its own wiring run back to the panel, so it does not share capacity with other devices. We run load calculations as part of any dedicated circuit installation to confirm the panel can support the new circuit.
We schedule outdoor work around conditions that allow safe installation and proper weatherproofing. Extreme cold can affect conduit work and certain materials, and wet conditions require careful attention to sealing and ground-fault protection. We use weatherproof covers, appropriate conduit, and GFCI protection on all exterior circuits as required by code. If conditions on a scheduled day are not safe for the outdoor portion of a job, we will communicate that and reschedule the affected work.
When wiring runs inside finished walls, through attic spaces, or under floors without a clear path, accessing it takes more time than working in open framing. Older wiring that was not run in conduit, or that has been modified by previous owners in non-standard ways, can also add diagnostic time. We tell you what we find before we proceed, and if the scope is larger than the initial estimate, we explain why and get your approval before continuing.

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.
