United Electric of Colorado | Local Electrical Services in Colorado Springs, CO

Our comprehensive electrical inspection includes evaluating your home's grounding and bonding systems, which are critical for surge protection. We assess the condition of your main panel and recommend installing a whole-house surge protector at the service entrance. This device acts as a first line of defense, diverting dangerous voltage spikes from storms or grid issues away from your sensitive electronics and appliances, a common problem in our area.

Colorado Springs experiences significant temperature swings between seasons and even day-to-night. This expansion and contraction can cause connections in outlets, switches, and panels to gradually loosen, creating arcing, overheating, and a serious fire hazard. Our inspection involves a thermal scan to detect hot spots and a physical tightening of all accessible connections to ensure safety and prevent intermittent power issues caused by our local climate.

In older neighborhoods, we pay special attention to outdated wiring like knob-and-tube or aluminum branch circuits, which are more susceptible to damage from temperature changes and may not be compatible with modern surge protection. We also inspect for insufficient or overloaded circuits, a common issue as homes add more electronics. Our goal is to provide a clear, localized assessment to keep your historic home safe and up to current electrical codes.
