What we do

Electrical Services for Centennial Homes and Small Businesses

Most of what we do falls into ten categories, and almost every call starts in one of them. Pick the one that matches what is happening at your place and the page will tell you what the work actually involves.

01

Electrical Panel Upgrades

A 100-amp panel that was generous in 1978 runs out of headroom the moment a heat pump, a hot tub or a charger shows up. We size the service properly, replace the panel and get it through inspection.

02

EV Charger Installation

A Level 2 circuit turns an overnight guess into a full battery by morning. We run the dedicated circuit, mount the unit and verify your service can carry it before we quote.

Read more
03

Electrical Repair & Troubleshooting

A breaker that trips, an outlet that died, a light that flickers on its own. We trace the fault to its source instead of swapping parts until the symptom goes quiet.

Read more
04

Whole-Home Rewiring

Aluminium branch wiring, cloth-wrapped conductors and ungrounded two-prong circuits all have the same answer. We replace them in stages that keep the house livable.

Read more
05

Lighting Installation

Recessed cans, under-cabinet runs, fixture swaps and exterior lighting that survives a Front Range winter. Layout planned first, holes cut second.

Read more
06

Outlet & Switch Installation

GFCI protection where code now requires it, dedicated circuits for the appliances that need them, and grounded receptacles replacing the two-prong originals.

Read more
07

Ceiling Fan Installation

A fan needs a rated brace, not a light box. We add the support, run the switch leg and balance the blades so the whole thing stays quiet.

Read more
08

Whole-Home Surge Protection

Front Range storm season puts a lot of energy on the lines. A panel-mounted device catches the spike before it reaches your furnace board and your electronics.

Read more
09

Generator & Battery Backup

Standby generators and battery systems with a properly interlocked transfer switch, so an outage means a short pause rather than a cold house.

Electrical Safety Inspections

A documented walk of the panel, the grounding, the device protection and the visible wiring, with photographs and a written list ranked by priority.

How we work

Why Centennial Homeowners Keep Our Number

Choosing an electrician is mostly an exercise in managing risk you cannot see from the hallway. These are the four things we hold ourselves to on every job.

Branch-circuit conductors landed on a residential switch box

We pull the permit and meet the inspector

Permitted work is the difference between an upgrade and a liability. We file with the jurisdiction that covers your address, schedule the rough and final inspections and meet the inspector ourselves. When you sell the house, the work shows up in the record the way it should.

You see the scope before you see an invoice

Our quotes list what gets installed, what gets replaced, what gets patched and what does not. If something behind the drywall changes the job, we stop, explain it and get your approval before the cost moves. No one likes a surprise line item, least of all us.

We diagnose before we replace

A tripping breaker is a symptom with a dozen possible causes. We meter the circuit, isolate the fault and tell you what is actually wrong. Replacing a breaker that was doing its job correctly is a waste of your money and leaves the real problem in the wall.

The panel gets labelled and the site gets swept

Every circuit we touch gets a legible label on the directory, every hole gets patched to a paintable finish and every scrap of old wire leaves with us. A finished job should look finished.

Start to finish

How a Job Runs, From First Call to Final Inspection

Three steps, and you always know which one you are in.

01

The call and the walk-through

You describe what is happening and we ask the questions that narrow it down, usually about the age of the house, what is on the panel directory and what changed recently. For project work we come out and look at the service, the panel and the route the new circuit has to take. The estimate is free and it arrives in writing.

02

The work

A licensed electrician does the installation, not an unsupervised helper. We protect floors, cut only what the route requires and keep power on in the rest of the house wherever the job allows. On a service change we coordinate the utility disconnect so the outage window is as short as it can reasonably be.

03

Inspection and handover

We schedule the inspection, meet the inspector and handle anything they flag. Then we walk you through what was installed, label the panel, hand over the warranty in writing and clean up. You get the permit record, not a promise that one exists somewhere.

Coverage

Serving Centennial and the South Metro

Centennial sits in the middle of our coverage map, and the rest of it spreads out along the corridors we drive every day. Arapahoe Road, Dry Creek, County Line and E-470 put most of the south metro inside a short run, which is why we can usually offer a window rather than a vague "sometime next week".

We know what is behind your walls

Housing stock in this part of Arapahoe County runs in clear generations, and each one brings its own surprises. A Willow Creek ranch from the late sixties tends to hide ungrounded circuits; a mid-seventies build around Foxridge may have aluminium branch wiring; a nineties home in Piney Creek usually just needs headroom. Knowing which era we are walking into shortens the diagnosis.

Short runs, real appointment windows

Working a tight geography means our vans are not stuck crossing the metro between calls. Arapahoe Road and Dry Creek carry us east to west, E-470 and I-25 handle north and south, and Parker Road reaches the southeast corner. That is how a two-hour window stays a two-hour window.

One number covers the whole map

Whether the job is off University Boulevard in Centennial or out past Jordan Road in Parker, it is the same crew, the same pricing approach and the same (303) 529-7038. Nothing about the service changes because of which side of County Line Road you live on.

Answers

Common Questions

The things Centennial homeowners ask us most, answered plainly.

Do I need a 200-amp panel?

It depends on what you are running, not on what the neighbours did. We perform a load calculation against the current code and tell you honestly whether your existing service has the headroom. Plenty of Centennial homes on 150-amp service are fine, and we will say so.

Do you pull permits?

Yes, on everything that requires one. We file with the jurisdiction covering your address, schedule the inspections and meet the inspector ourselves. Unpermitted electrical work is a problem you inherit at resale.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most residential service changes are a single day on site, with a utility disconnect window in the morning. Inspection usually follows within a few business days depending on the jurisdiction's schedule. More detail is on the panel upgrades page.

My Federal Pacific panel was flagged by a home inspector. Is that serious?

Those panels have a documented history of breakers failing to trip under fault conditions, which is why inspectors and insurers flag them. Replacement is the accepted fix, and in Arapahoe County it is a routine job for us.

Why does my breaker keep tripping?

A breaker trips because something asked for more current than the circuit should carry, or because of a ground fault or a loose connection generating heat. We meter the circuit to find which, rather than replacing the breaker and hoping.

Can you install an EV charger in my garage?

In most cases yes. The variables are the distance from the panel to the parking spot, whether your service has capacity for the added load, and whether the run can be concealed. We check all three before quoting.

Do you give free estimates?

Yes on installation and project work, including panel upgrades, chargers, rewiring, lighting, generators and surge protection. Diagnostic troubleshooting is billed, because finding the fault is the work.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We carry liability insurance and our work is performed by licensed Colorado electricians under a master electrician. We are happy to provide documentation before anyone starts.

Which areas do you cover?

Centennial first, then Greenwood Village, Littleton, Englewood, Lone Tree, Parker, Highlands Ranch, Aurora, Cherry Hills Village, Foxfield, Castle Pines and Columbine Valley.

What happens if the inspector flags something?

We fix it and schedule the re-inspection, at no additional cost to you. Passing inspection is part of what you paid for, not an extra.

Who we are

About Centennial Electric

Centennial Electric is a licensed electrical contractor working homes and small commercial spaces across Centennial and the surrounding south metro. We built the business around a narrow idea: do permitted, code-compliant work, explain it in plain language and leave the place tidier than we found it. That approach is why most of our calls now come from people a previous customer sent our way.
