A Residential Electrician for the Whole House
Most homeowners call about one thing and find out there are two or three nearby. You ask for a new outlet in the garage and learn the panel has no open slots. You want a ceiling fan and the ceiling box can’t hold one. We look at the whole picture, then quote only what your home needs.
Cedarwell Electric is a family-owned Denver electrical company. Jordan Lloyd runs the company, and the electrician who quotes your job is on the crew that does it.
Residential Electrical Services We Offer
Here is what we wire, fix and upgrade in homes across Denver and the surrounding areas. Each service has its own page if you want the details:
- Electrical panel upgrades, including 100 to 200 amp service changes and replacing Federal Pacific, Zinsco and Challenger panels
- Electrical repairs for tripping breakers, dead outlets and flickering lights
- Outlet and GFCI installation, including dedicated circuits and AFCI protection
- Lighting installation, from recessed cans to landscape lighting
- Ceiling fan installation on fan-rated boxes
- Smoke and CO detector installation
- EV charger installation and generator hookups
We also wire hot tubs, swim spas, saunas and cold plunges, finish basement and remodel electrical, and correct work that failed an inspection.
Why Older Denver Homes Need a Closer Look
A home built decades ago was wired for a different life. Fewer outlets, a small panel, and a handful of circuits were plenty when the biggest load was a television. Now the same house runs phone chargers in every room, a home office, an induction range and a garage full of tools.
Common signs that your wiring is behind:
- Breakers that trip when two appliances run together
- Two-prong outlets, or outlets that feel loose or warm
- Extension cords and power strips used as permanent wiring
- A panel with no open spaces, or one made by Federal Pacific or Zinsco
- Lights that dim when the furnace or air conditioner starts
None of these means panic. They mean it’s time for someone to look, explain what they see and give you options in writing.
How a Residential Electrical Project Works
We keep the process plain so you always know the next step.
- Tell us what’s going on. Call or send a request, and we ask a few questions so we arrive prepared.
- We look at your home. We check the panel, the wire routes and access, then walk you through the choices.
- You get a written flat-rate price. It’s in your hands before work starts, and estimates on installs and upgrades are free.
- We do the work. We lay down floor protection, pull the permit and keep the job tidy.
- Inspection and walkthrough. We schedule and attend the inspection, label your panel and send photos of the finished work.
Planning a Remodel or a Basement Finish
A remodel is the cheapest moment to fix wiring, because the walls are already open. If you are finishing a basement, redoing a kitchen or adding a room, bring us in before the drywall goes up. We can place outlets and lighting where you will use them, add circuits for new appliances and size the panel for the finished space.
Coordinating early also avoids cutting into new drywall later. Tell us how you plan to use each room, and we will plan the wiring around that.
Permits, Inspections and Paperwork
Colorado homeowners sometimes skip the permit to save a week. It usually costs more later. An unpermitted circuit can come up when you sell, when an insurer asks questions after a claim, or when the next electrician has to figure out what was done.
We pull the permit with whichever jurisdiction covers your address, whether that is Denver, Aurora, a suburb or the county. Then we schedule the inspection and attend it. You keep the record, and your panel gets a labeled directory so every breaker is clear.
Loads That Need Planning First
Some projects are really capacity questions. Before adding an EV charger, a hot tub, a heat pump or a basement suite, we run a load calculation on your home. It tells us whether your service can carry the new equipment or whether a panel upgrade should come first.
That answer saves money on the wrong equipment. It also keeps you from finding out on the first cold morning that the breaker trips every time the furnace and the charger start together.
What Affects the Price of Residential Electrical Work
We quote every install and upgrade as a flat-rate price, and these are the things that move it:
- How far the wire has to travel and whether the walls are open or finished
- The size of your panel and whether it has room for new circuits
- Whether the work needs a permit and an inspection
- The amount and type of equipment, from a single switch to a full service change
- Access to the attic, crawl space, basement or exterior wall
