"We hired LJI Electric to wire our entire new construction home. They did the whole house rough-in and the final trim. They were proficient, professional and had excellent communication skills. Johnny (the owner) did everything we asked of him, plus more. He and his crew are knowledgeable, fast, and practice perfectionism to the "t". His rough-in passed state inspection the first time. We highly recommend Johnny and his crew for anything minor to major work. You won't go wrong hiring LJI Electric, not only for their excellent work, but extremely reasonable pricing. Very satisfied customers, Arnold and Carla Marquez"

"Bradley is very professional and very knowledgeable and on time. He was also able to get started on our house right away when others said it would be weeks. Our breaker box was very old and the wiring in our house was a mess and it needed replaced and repaired. We only had a couple of electrical outlets inside the house and we had no power to the bathroom. We also wanted him to also install new ceiling lights and we wanted him to add new outlets. Bradley replaced the old fuse box with a new fuse box and he added new outlets and replaced the old ceiling lights with new ones. He also got power restored to the bathroom. When he was done everything worked like brand-new and his rates were by far the best that we could find. It was the first time ever using an electrician that we felt like we didn't get ripped off."

"Will Smith is a skilled professional who actually cares about his customers' safety. He is knowledgeable, and won't sell you what you don't need, but makes sure that the customer receives excellent service and quality for what the job requires. He went above and beyond all expectations, and his prices are extremely low. In fact, he completely remediated a PREVIOUS electrician's horribly botched and unsafe job and did it for much less than expected. The house is now safe and sound and the peace of mind is priceless. There is no one else whom I'd recommend to friends and family."

"I just bought a house about a year ago. The house had some Electrical issues that I tried to fix on my own. I made the Situation even worst. I heard about Element Electric from a friend. The problem is they are based out of Pueblo Colorado and I live in Aurora Colorado but he comes Highly recommended. I have a problem trusting any contractors electricians plumbers etc. I called Dylan Peck The owner of the company and discuss my Electrical problems I was having with my house. He informed me that he had family who lived in Denver and that he was going to visit the upcoming weekend . He came to my house that Next Saturday and within 5 minutes he had the The majority of the problems worked out he was very knowledgeable and understanding that I am not an electrician and also give me a free tune up to my breaker panel. His prices were fair And he gave me a half hour of his family time to fix my problems. If you have electrical problems and you want somebody to come in and fix the problem without trying to run up the bill You need to call Dylan Peck with Element Electric , I know I will."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Colorado City, CO

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
