When something goes wrong with the wiring in an Evans home, the first question is usually the same: what is it, and what does it take to fix it. Homeowners call about outlets that stopped working, breakers that trip under normal loads, and panels that were never sized for the appliances now drawing power from them. Landlords call when a rental unit needs to be brought up to code before a new tenant moves in. Property managers call when a flagged item needs a documented repair. We handle all of it, and the first step is always the same: a straight answer on the phone about what the job involves.
Evans is a town with a real mix of housing, and the electrical work reflects that. Older homes on original wiring, newer builds with more circuits than the panel was initially planned for, detached garages and outbuildings that were wired as an afterthought. Small businesses call when a remodel changes the load requirements or a new piece of equipment needs a dedicated circuit. Whatever the situation, we take calls every day from 5:30 AM to 10:00 PM and gets the job on the schedule.
Not every electrical job needs a permit, but the ones that do matter. Panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuit installations, and most rewiring work typically require a permit from the local authority. The permit process exists so the work gets inspected and confirmed to meet current code before the job is closed out. That matters when a home is sold, when a landlord needs documentation for a rental, and any time the wiring has to hold up to scrutiny.
The specific requirements vary by jurisdiction, and what applies in one town does not always apply the next one over. When you call, we go through the scope of the job and tell you whether a permit is part of the process. If it is, we handle the filing.
A permit adds a step, and that step takes time. The inspection has to be scheduled after the work is complete, and the job is not officially closed until it passes. For most straightforward jobs, that is not a significant delay. For larger projects, it is worth knowing upfront so the schedule accounts for it. We walk through the timing on the call.
Wiring is easier to deal with when somebody explains it plainly, and that starts with how a quote is put together. The price on an electrical job depends on what the fault actually turns out to be, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing circuit or panel can carry the change being made.
A straightforward outlet replacement on a healthy circuit is a different job from the same outlet on a circuit that traces back to a panel running at capacity. A panel upgrade in a home where the service entrance is already adequate is a different job from one where the meter and the entrance both need attention. Load calculations are part of how we scope larger jobs, because the right answer for the panel depends on what the home is actually drawing.
The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled. When you call, the scope gets worked out on the call, and you get the rate before any visit is booked. No-pressure estimates, priced up front, so you know what the work costs before you decide whether to move forward.
Calling an electrician doesn't have to be stressful, and the scheduling conversation is usually shorter than people expect.
Call (720) 713-7632, describe what is happening, and we work out the scope and the timing together.
Most routine jobs, outlet work, lighting, panel assessments, and circuit additions, can be scheduled within a few days.
Some electrical problems cannot wait. A burning smell near a panel, sparks at an outlet, a circuit that has gone dark in a way that does not trace back to a tripped breaker, these are situations where waiting is not the right call. We take short-notice work, and when you describe an urgent situation on the phone, we tell you honestly what the schedule allows and how quickly we can get someone out.
For rental properties and commercial spaces, the work has to fit around people who are living or operating in the building. We talk through access and timing on the call so the visit is planned around the situation rather than against it. If a circuit needs to be off for part of the day, you know that before the visit is booked, not when the electrician arrives. People planning work in Evans usually check the full electrical services list first.
Not every power problem is on the homeowner's side of the meter. The utility is responsible for the service from the pole to the meter. Everything from the meter into the home, the service entrance, the panel, the circuits, and the wiring, is the homeowner's responsibility and ours to work on.
When a call comes in about a power loss, one of the first things we work through is where the fault sits. If half the house is dark and the panel looks fine, the problem may be on the utility's side. That is a different call to make and a different fix to arrange.
If the fault turns out to be on the utility side of the meter, the repair is theirs to make, not ours. We tell you that clearly on the call or during the visit, and we point you toward the right contact. If the situation involves both sides, for example a service-entrance upgrade that is needed regardless of where the immediate fault sits, we scope that work separately and let you decide how to proceed.
An inspection is worth scheduling any time the wiring has not been reviewed in several years, before a home purchase, when a rental unit turns over, or when an older home has never had its panel or wiring assessed. The inspection covers the panel condition, the wiring throughout the home, grounding, and GFCI and AFCI protection at the locations code requires. The result is a written picture of what is working, what needs attention, and what can wait.
Homes with knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch-circuit wiring carry risks that are not always visible from the panel. Knob-and-tube insulation degrades over time, and aluminum connections at outlets and switches can loosen and heat up under load. A whole-home rewire replaces everything from the panel out. A partial rewire addresses specific circuits or areas where the existing wiring is no longer adequate. The scope is worked out on the call based on what the home has and what it needs.
GFCI outlets belong in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and anywhere near water. AFCI protection is required in most living areas in current construction and many remodel situations. Beyond code requirements, adding outlets, replacing worn switches, and upgrading to dimmer or USB outlets are all straightforward jobs that make a real difference in how a space works. When you call about an outlet that feels warm or a switch that buzzes, we trace the fault rather than just replacing the device.
A detached garage or workshop that needs more than one or two circuits usually needs its own subpanel rather than a long run of circuits back to the main panel. A subpanel feeds from the main panel and distributes power locally, which is the right way to handle a building that needs lighting, outlets, and a dedicated circuit for equipment. The main panel has to have the capacity to support it, and a load calculation is part of how we confirm that before the work is scoped.
The same applies to backup generator hookups, EV charger circuits, and dedicated circuits for heating equipment. The electrical side of those jobs, the transfer switch, the dedicated 240-volt circuit, the disconnect, is where our work begins and ends. Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel is worth adding to any of these conversations, because a panel-level device protects every circuit in the building at once.
We take calls and schedule work throughout Evans and the communities around it in Weld County. That includes Greeley, La Salle, Garden City, Gilcrest, and Milliken. If you are in the area and need electrical work done, call and we will confirm whether the address falls in our service area. The work is done to the code inspectors in this part of Colorado enforce, wherever the job is located.
We trace each circuit from the panel through the wiring to identify what it feeds, and label the panel clearly before we leave. Unlabeled panels slow down every future repair and make it harder to isolate a circuit safely, so this is worth doing as part of any panel work.
That depends on what the insurer requires. We provide documentation of the work completed, and if a permit was pulled, the inspection record is available through the relevant authority. Whether that satisfies a specific insurer's requirements is a question for the insurer, not one we can answer on their behalf.
Yes. Detached garages, workshops, and outbuildings that need their own circuits or a subpanel are jobs we handle regularly. The work involves assessing the main panel capacity, running the feed to the outbuilding, and installing the subpanel and circuits needed for the space. Call and describe what the building needs and we will scope it from there.
It is uncommon for standard electrical work, but very high ceilings or exterior work at height can require it. If scaffolding is needed, it is discussed and arranged as part of the scope before the visit is scheduled, not discovered on the day.
Older homes in this area commonly have panels that were sized for lighter loads than modern households draw, wiring that has never been updated, and outlets without ground fault protection in locations where code now requires it. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring and knob-and-tube systems turn up in homes that have not been rewired since original construction. A safety inspection is the clearest way to find out what the wiring actually looks like and what needs attention.
Permit requirements for panel replacements and service upgrades vary by jurisdiction, and the rules in Evans may differ from those in the surrounding county. When you call to scope a panel job, we go through whether a permit is part of the process and handle the filing if it is. We do not confirm specific local requirements on this page because they change and vary by address.
Yes, and we handle rental work regularly. The scope, the schedule, and which areas will be without power and for how long are all confirmed before the visit so the tenant and the landlord can plan around the work.
A well pump requires a dedicated circuit sized for the pump's motor load, run from the panel to the pump location. We handle the circuit, the disconnect, and the wiring to the pump. The pump itself and any pressure tank work are separate from the electrical installation.
When you call us, you get a straight answer about the work. That means the scope is discussed on the call, the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you know what the visit covers before it is booked. Call in the morning. Talk it through. Know the options by the end of the call.
The electrical problem that gets put off rarely gets smaller. A panel that was just managing last winter will be asked to do more next winter. An outlet that sparks occasionally will not stop on its own.
