New Circuit and Wiring Installation
Adding a home office, upgrading your kitchen, or finishing a basement all require new circuits and properly routed wiring. Our electricians plan each installation carefully to meet load requirements and code standards. We use quality wire and components rated for long-term residential and commercial use.

Signs You Need Professional Wiring Installation & Repair
Electrical wiring problems don’t always announce themselves loudly. Lafayette homeowners often live with warning signs for months without realizing the risks involved. Knowing what to look for can save you from a costly or dangerous situation.
Flickering Lights or Frequent Breaker Trips
Lights that flicker or dim unexpectedly often point to loose connections or overloaded circuits in your home’s wiring. Breakers that trip regularly are telling you the electrical system is under more demand than it can safely handle. These symptoms need professional attention before they escalate into bigger problems.
Outdated Wiring in Older Lafayette Homes
Many Lafayette homes built before the 1980s still contain knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch circuit wiring, both of which carry elevated fire risks. Older insulation around these wires also breaks down over time, particularly in Colorado’s dry climate with wide temperature swings. Replacing outdated wiring is one of the most important safety upgrades you can make.
Burning Smells or Discolored Outlets
A burning smell near an outlet, switch, or panel is a serious warning sign that should never be ignored. Discoloration around outlets often means arcing or overheating is already happening inside the wall. Turn off the circuit and call a licensed electrician immediately if you notice either of these signs.
Acting quickly on electrical warning signs protects your family and keeps a minor repair from turning into a major hazard.
