Electrical Services for Denver Area Homes and Businesses

If you are dealing with anything beyond a simple issue like a burnt out light bulb, it is safer to call a licensed electrician. Warning signs that need professional attention include:

• Frequent breaker trips or circuits that will not reset

• Outlets or switches that feel hot or look discolored

• Buzzing, crackling, or humming sounds from your panel, outlets, or fixtures

• Flickering or dimming lights, especially when large appliances turn on

• Burning or melting odors near outlets, light fixtures, or your electrical panel

• Sparking, shocks, or visible damage to wiring or devices

National electrical safety organizations note that overloaded, damaged, or improperly installed wiring is a leading cause of home electrical fires and shock incidents. Homeowners should not open panels, move wiring, or replace breakers themselves. If you are unsure whether something is safe, treat it as unsafe and contact a licensed electrician in the Denver metro area.

Many common projects in Colorado require an electrical permit and inspection, especially:

• Main electrical panel upgrades or service changes

• New circuits for kitchens, basements, garages, EV chargers, hot tubs, or HVAC equipment

• Whole or partial home rewiring

• Significant remodels, additions, and basement finishes

Colorado jurisdictions follow National Electrical Code based standards. Depending on where you live, permits and inspections are handled by your city, your county, or the State Electrical Board. Cu Solutions can help you understand what your project requires, pull the appropriate permits when needed, and coordinate inspections so your electrical work is completed safely, legally, and in line with local Denver area requirements.

Older solid aluminum branch circuit wiring has been associated with a higher risk of overheating and fire at connection points such as outlets, switches, and splices. Federal safety agencies have reported that some homes wired with certain types of aluminum branch circuits are significantly more likely to have connections reach fire hazard conditions compared to similar homes wired in copper.

That does not mean every home with aluminum wiring is unsafe, but it does mean the system should be evaluated by a licensed electrician who understands aluminum wiring. Common options include:

• Replacing aluminum branch circuits with new copper wiring

• Using approved remediation methods that rely on specific connectors and techniques designed to improve long term reliability at connection points

Cu Solutions can inspect your electrical system, identify where aluminum wiring is present, and recommend a plan that fits your home, budget, and risk tolerance.

There is no single schedule that fits every home, but it is a good idea to have a licensed electrician evaluate your electrical system when you:

• Move into an older home or a home with unknown electrical history

• Add major new loads such as HVAC equipment, EV chargers, hot tubs, or shop tools

• Plan a significant remodel, addition, or basement finish

• Notice warning signs such as frequent breaker trips, dimming lights, buzzing, or hot outlets

Electrical safety organizations emphasize that periodic inspections and professional evaluations can help identify capacity limits, aging components, and unsafe conditions before they lead to fire or shock hazards. For many Denver area homeowners, a general electrical checkup every several years, plus inspections during major projects, is a practical approach. Cu Solutions can combine a panel evaluation with recommendations for panel upgrades, new circuits, or whole home rewiring if needed.

• Plan outlet locations, dedicated circuits, and future capacity for technology and EV charging

• Evaluate panel capacity and determine whether a panel upgrade, subpanel, or new circuits are needed
