Ampsgardian Electric | Trusted Electrical Contractor in Leadville, CO

Yes, outdated fuse boxes can be a significant safety concern, as they are not designed to handle the electrical loads of modern appliances and can pose a fire risk. Upgrading to a modern circuit breaker panel with Ampsgardian Electric involves our licensed electricians safely replacing the old fuse box, installing new breakers with proper amperage for your home's needs, and ensuring all connections meet current National Electrical Code standards. This upgrade improves safety, provides room for future additions, and is often required for home insurance or when adding major appliances like an EV charger.

This is a common and valid concern in our older Leadville homes. Most EV chargers require a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Our first step is a thorough assessment of your existing electrical panel's capacity. If your panel is outdated or at full capacity, we often recommend a panel upgrade or the installation of a sub-panel to safely support the new charger circuit. Ampsgardian Electric handles the entire process—from evaluating your home's electrical readiness and installing the proper wiring and outlet to mounting and configuring the charging station itself—ensuring a safe, code-compliant installation.

Given our high-altitude climate and potential for extended power outages, a backup generator is an excellent investment for peace of mind and safety. Ampsgardian Electric provides professional generator installation and repair services. The installation involves selecting the right size generator for your home's essential circuits, placing the unit on a proper pad, installing an automatic transfer switch that safely connects the generator to your home's electrical panel, and ensuring all work complies with local codes and manufacturer specifications. We can also integrate it with your existing electrical system, including any critical circuits for medical equipment, sump pumps, or heating systems.
