Colorado Springs residents, call us today to have all your questions answered or to schedule a convenient appointment with certified electricians. Colorado Springs can depend on us for innovative solutions to any electrical issue, along with trusted installations and inspections and excellent quality service. Here are our Colorado Springs electricians' responses to some common questions from home and business owners.

Do Colorado Springs Electricians Have to Be Licensed?

Yes, any electrical contractor who is providing electrical services here must be licensed by the State of Colorado. When you hire licensed technicians, you have the assurance of knowing you are getting service from trained Colorado Springs electricians. Electrical systems all have their own quirks and issues, so it's important to work with someone who is trained in safety and knows how to adhere to all codes as a trained electrician. Colorado Springs professionals on our team have the applicable state-level license needed to work on your residential or commercial property.

How Much Will It Cost to Hire Electricians in Colorado Springs?

While it makes perfect sense that you want to know right away how much you should expect to spend for service from electricians, Colorado Springs residents want an accurate cost estimate, and we can't provide that until we've had the chance to assess your system and the repair or installation work you need to be done. Once an in-person consultation has been done by our Colorado Springs electricians, we will explain our recommendations and offer you a fair price for the services you need.  

Do I Need a Permit for Work By a Colorado Springs Electrician? How Do I Get It?

Since electrical systems have the potential to be dangerous in unskilled hands, it makes perfect sense that electrical work is governed and regulated by a permit system in Colorado. Many types of projects do require a permit, but there's no need to worry—our experienced technicians will know which permit is needed and will pull it on your behalf so you don't have to mess around with the paperwork. On our team, every one of the Colorado Springs electricians you may work with has the expertise to handle permits quickly and efficiently.

Do Your Colorado Springs Electricians Get Background Checks?

Yes, they do undergo background screening. When hiring electricians, Colorado Springs property owners want to know that they can expect professional, courteous behavior at all times. That's why all the members of our team are subjected to a background check program, including every one of the Colorado Springs electricians on our team has proven themselves trustworthy over the course of their time with us, so we're confident they'll treat you and your property with respect.

Do You Have References From Local Clients in Colorado Springs?

Yes, we do! Check out our customer testimonials from our residential and commercial clients to find out what they love about the services provided by our electricians. Colorado Springs residents have left us plenty of positive feedback and high ratings on review sites such as Google, inspired by the excellent work our team members did on their property.

Can Colorado Springs Electricians Help With Home Improvement Projects?

When you plan home improvement projects, don’t forget to call us for installation services from qualified electricians. Colorado Springs homeowners can count on us to provide a roadmap to renovations that will transform your space and conserve energy. We provide expert care for programmable thermostats, data and communication lines, and custom lighting.

During a home improvement project, especially one that is focused on a larger room where you spend a lot of time, such as the living room, it's well worth considering calling your local Colorado Springs electrician to take care of a ceiling fan installation. It's a common misconception that ceiling fans simply make rooms a little cooler. They actually increase air circulation, which can make a room either cooler or warmer depending on whether you're running your furnace or air conditioner, which means you can actually save some money on energy costs by turning on your ceiling fan and adjusting your thermostat accordingly.

How Can I Save Energy in My Business?

Are you a local business owner looking to save money by reducing your energy costs? One of the best ways to save money on electricity is to ensure that you have a fully energy-efficient lighting system. If you have an inefficient system in your commercial property, you can save costs through a variety of solutions, such as retrofitting your fluorescent lights and replacing old fixtures with energy-efficient fixtures.

If you’re unsure about your property’s energy efficiency, or you need help determining and implementing the best solutions for commercial energy efficiency, help is available from our experienced Colorado Springs electricians. We can provide commercial energy audits that will help you evaluate your potential energy-saving opportunities and find more efficient lighting solutions to meet your needs.

Do Your Colorado Springs Electricians Work With Property Management Companies?

Absolutely. Whether they manage residential properties such as apartment buildings, commercial or industrial complexes, or some other type of buildings, property management companies need regular services from experienced Colorado Springs electricians. At Mr. Electric, we strive to build long-lasting, mutually beneficial, professional relationships with property management companies so they know they can rely on us whenever they need electrical installations, repairs or maintenance work done on their properties.

Do you need to schedule regular electrical services and trust that the agreed-upon services will be completed correctly and on time by qualified electricians? Colorado Springs electrical experts on our team will arrive promptly for your scheduled appointments and get the job done right so you can focus your attention on other matters without worrying that we won't show up or won't take the necessary care to provide trustworthy services with long-lasting results. Or, maybe you just want to program your speed dial with the number of a reliable electrician so you can get prompt, trustworthy services whenever something goes wrong with the electrical system in one of the buildings you manage. Either way, when property management companies are in need of expert Colorado Springs electricians, the dependable team at Mr. Electric is the right choice.

When Should I Call a Colorado Springs Electrician for an Electrical Safety Inspection?

Most people really don't realize how important it is to get electrical safety inspections done periodically, especially in certain situations, like when a property is changing hands. While safety inspections usually aren't necessary on an annual basis, there are some scenarios that absolutely require an electrical safety inspection to be taken care of by knowledgeable electricians. Colorado Springs residents should note that those situations include:

• Buying or selling a property
• Installing a major appliance or EV charger
• Welcoming a new household member
• After a major renovation has been completed
• Building code inspection is mandatory
• It has been more than 40 years since the electrical system installation

During your electrical safety inspection, your local Colorado Springs electricians will take the time to inspect and assess components of your electrical system, such as:

• Wall switches, plugs, and outlets
• Light bulb wattage
• Possible fire and electrocution hazards
• AFCI and GFCI outlet operation
• Confirmation of grounding system
• Condition of electrical panel
• Testing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms
• Condition and installation of wiring

After we have finished a careful safety check of all components of your electrical system by our reliable Colorado Springs electricians, you can rely on us to present them with a detailed report that prioritizes our recommendations for getting their system in a functional, safe condition. We'll also take the time to offer clear explanations of our findings and address any questions or concerns you may have so you can make an educated decision about what's best for your household and property.

We service all of Colorado Springs including Black Forest, Briargate, Broadmoor, Cordera, Flying Horse, Gleneagle, Kissing Camels, Mountain Shadows, Peregrine, Pine Creek, Skyway, Top of Skyway, Wolf Ranch, and surrounding communities.

Will I Be Without Power While Your Colorado Springs Electricians Are Working On My Home?

We understand that it can be uncomfortable to go without power in your home, even for a short time. That's especially true during extreme temperatures when you're counting on electricity to power your HVAC system and keep your home at a comfortable temperature. In many cases, we can take care of electrical repairs, installations and other tasks without needing to cut power to the entire building. There are some tasks that require all power to be shut down for a short time for safety purposes. If that's necessary, we'll warn you in advance, and it likely won't be for very long.  

Does My Old Electrical Panel Need to Be Upgraded?

When you say "old," do you mean older than about 25 years? If so, it's likely time for an electrical panel upgrade by our professional electricians. Colorado Springs homes often have an electrical panel that is much, much older than 25 years, and there's no doubt in that case that it does need to be replaced with a newer model.

Are you wondering if you really need an electrical panel upgrade right now or if your old panel can hang in there for a few more years? Here are some of the biggest warning signs that it's time to hire skilled Colorado Springs electricians to handle an electrical panel upgrade:

• Lights flicker when you turn on an appliance because of the increased demand for electricity
• If you try to use more than one appliance at a time, a circuit breaker trips
• Breakers trip often for no obvious reason
• The circuit breaker box feels warm or hot to the touch
• Scorch marks, bubbling paint, or other signs of heat damage on the electrical panel
• Strange sounds coming from the panel box, like hissing, crackling or buzzing
• Odors of burning metal or melting plastic
• The breaker box is giving off visible sparks
• Working on a remodel that involves adding a lot of lighting or power-drawing appliances
• The power company is recommending an electrical panel upgrade

Many people don't think of this, but it's also a good idea to call your local Colorado Springs electrician for an electrical panel upgrade if you are welcoming a new family member into your home. That could be a friend or relative who is moving into your house, or it could be the arrival of a bouncing new baby. It may be surprising that a tiny baby could increase the demand for electricity in your household, but they require more resources than you may suspect, and the additional strain can be too much for an older or deteriorating electrical panel.

Are LED Lights Less Costly Than Incandescent Bulbs?

Yes and no. The upfront cost to purchase LED bulbs is higher than the cost of incandescent bulbs, but LED lights last significantly longer before they need to be replaced—our Colorado Springs electricians will tell you that you can typically get around 50,000 hours from an LED bulb compared to only around 1,200 hours from an incandescent bulb. So in the long run, you're paying less for LED bulbs because they will last so much longer. Another point in favor of LED bulbs is that they require less energy to operate, so you can save a bit of money in that regard as well as lowering your carbon footprint. 

Is My Colorado Springs Home Vulnerable to Power Surges?

Suppose your home is not equipped with preventative measures like surge protectors. In that case, it’s more vulnerable than the average Colorado Springs house to power surges that could cause serious damage to computers, televisions, and other expensive electronic equipment. But it's worth noting that every home in the state of Colorado does have some level of increased vulnerability to power surges that are caused by lightning flashes because Colorado is more susceptible to lightning damage than many other places.  

In fact, Colorado is ranked 19th in the nation for lightning flashes, which may not sound that bad but does mean Colorado homes are more likely than buildings in most other states to be affected by power surges. Our qualified electricians in Colorado Springs can help you reduce the risk with whole house surge protector installation services.
