Total Electric | Experienced Electrical Contractor in Evergreen, CO

Our comprehensive electrical inspection covers all critical systems in your home. We check your main service panel and breakers, test outlets and GFCI protection, inspect wiring in accessible areas like attics for any signs of damage or wear, and evaluate the safety of your lighting fixtures. For homes in our area, we pay special attention to common local issues, such as checking attic wiring for potential rodent damage and assessing the condition of any underground cables serving outbuildings or landscape lighting. The goal is to provide you with a clear understanding of your system's safety and any recommended repairs.

Installing outdoor lighting in our mountain communities requires planning for both aesthetics and durability. We'll help you choose fixtures rated for our climate and discuss optimal placement for security and ambiance. A key consideration is protecting the wiring; we often recommend burying cables in conduit, especially in areas with wildlife activity, to prevent damage. We also ensure the circuit is properly protected by a GFCI breaker for safety. Our installation service includes everything from trenching and laying conduit to mounting fixtures and making the final electrical connections.

It depends on your panel's capacity and age. During our assessment, we'll evaluate your main service panel to determine if it has the available amperage to support a new EV charger circuit, which is typically a 240-volt line. For many older homes in our area, a panel upgrade or a sub-panel installation may be recommended to safely handle the added load. Our licensed electricians handle the entire process, from the initial load calculation and permitting to running the dedicated circuit and mounting the charger unit, ensuring a safe, code-compliant installation.
