Boulder Electrical Panels
The panel is the heart, plain and simple. Every circuit, outlet, and appliance is tied back to it. If it’s strained or outdated, everything tied to it suffers. Electrical problems spread from here, so Boulder homeowners call us when the panel shows signs of failure.
What we handle with electrical panels:
- Complete inspections, checking for corrosion, loose wiring, or overloaded circuits.
- Panel upgrades for homes taking on more appliances, security systems, or remodels.
- Emergency response when a panel leaves the property without power.
- Adding whole-house surge protection so sudden spikes don’t ruin appliances and electronics.
- Repairs to breaker panels that trip, short, or show heat damage.
Older panels don’t meet current needs. A home may feel fine one day, and you’re noticing constant resets or appliances underperforming the next. We’ve seen Boulder, CO homes where panels hadn’t been touched in decades, only replaced when a major outage hit. Calling us earlier means less risk, less damage, and a smoother upgrade path. Experienced electricians, licensed, trained, ready to replace or repair as needed.
Boulder Electrical Sub Panel
Sub panels aren’t always discussed, but they solve real problems. A single main panel can’t always handle everything. Additions, garages, workshops, hot tubs, and new home offices all require more circuits than the original panel was designed for.
Our certified electricians install electrical subpanels that spread the load, keeping the main electrical box from burning under too much demand. We’ve handled Boulder homes adding hot tubs, new tubs, basement remodels, or even setting up heavy-draw appliances in detached spaces. Instead of forcing one panel to do it all, a subpanel balances the system and reduces potential hazards.
This is not just about convenience. It’s about safety. A subpanel installed by an electrical company that knows what it’s doing keeps the wiring honest, the load balanced, and the property protected. Boulder’s electrical needs are changing, and subpanels are often part of the answer.
Boulder Power Outage
Power goes out. Sometimes, it’s a city-wide issue, and other times, it’s your house alone sitting dark while the rest of the block glows. If your neighbors still have power, the outage is inside your system, and that’s when you need an electrician in Boulder immediately.
Lion Home Service responds to outages quickly. We’ve dealt with electrical box failures, hidden wiring problems, damaged outlets, and even whole breaker panels collapsing under sudden loads. The job isn’t only to restore power but also to track down why it failed. Electrical repair isn’t patchwork; it’s finding the weak link in the chain and replacing it.
We also set up preventive solutions: whole-house surge protection, panel upgrades, and even generator hookups for critical appliances. A sudden outage highlights how dependent your Boulder property is on steady electricity. Our job is to restore it, stabilize it, and ensure the same breakdown doesn’t blindside you again.
Boulder Electric Vehicle Charger
Electric vehicles are standard in Boulder now, and with them comes the need for stronger, more intelligent charging. A regular outlet won’t cut it for a long-term solution, not without creating risks. An EV charger installation is the safe route, and it’s what we provide.
Services include:
- Installation of Level 2 chargers that work faster than standard outlets.
- Upgrades to breaker panels so the new load doesn’t strain the system.
- Surge protector integration so neither your vehicle nor your home faces sudden spikes.
- Placement setups include a garage, driveway, carport, and outdoor stations built around your needs.
- Testing and safety checks to rule out faulty outlets, wiring problems, or electrical hazards.
Every charger connects back to the electrical system. If it’s not installed correctly, you risk tripped circuits, fire hazards, or charging delays. Our electricians in Boulder take the time to install correctly, test carefully, and leave you with a system that works every time you plug in.
Boulder Indoor Lighting
Indoor lighting shapes how your home feels every day. Too dim, and the rooms feel closed off. Too harsh, and it strains the eyes. Many Boulder homes were wired decades ago, and the lighting setups no longer match how people live now. Families want brighter kitchens, adjustable living rooms, safer hallways, and bedrooms that give calm light instead of flickering bulbs. Our electricians look at the layout, the wiring, and the existing fixtures and bring better solutions.
We handle electrical installations for recessed lighting, track systems, flush mounts, chandeliers, and smaller jobs like replacing faulty outlets or switches. What seems like a bad bulb is often a wiring problem. Wires that weren’t secured properly, outdated breakers, or panels that can’t handle modern fixtures. We track the issue, repair it, and leave a lighting system that works like it should.
Indoor lighting isn’t about decoration alone; it’s tied to your home’s electrical safety. A poorly installed fixture can spark, overload a breaker, or create electrical hazards hiding above ceilings. We don’t leave those risks hanging overhead. We install and scrutinize everything and ensure the Boulder property has safe, steady lighting designed for everyday living.
Boulder Outdoor Lighting
Boulder’s outdoor spaces need the same attention as the inside. Walkways, driveways, patios, and yards stay safer when they’re well-lit. Whether it’s motion sensor lights tied into security systems or decorative string lighting for entertaining, outdoor wiring demands extra care. Exposure to weather makes faulty installations dangerous. Moisture meets electricity, and that’s when shorts and shocks happen.
Our certified electricians know how to run wiring built to withstand the elements. We install ground-level path lights, wall-mounted floodlights, and overhead patio systems. Security-focused outdoor lighting is common in Boulder homes, and we tie it into whole-home systems so you can control it from inside or through smart technology.
We also replace old outdoor setups. Many Boulder properties still have outdated electrical installations with cracked fixtures, loose wiring, or faulty outlets. These create potential hazards right where kids play or guests gather. Replacing them not only improves safety but also energy efficiency, especially with modern LED systems that last longer and draw less power from your electrical panels.
Flush Mount Lighting
Flush mounts may look simple, but the work behind them still requires skilled electricians. Ceiling wiring, electrical boxes, and breaker panels all need to be considered before swapping out old lights with new ones. Boulder homeowners often try DIY, but improper installation leads to flickering lights, constant trips in the breaker box, or even melted wiring behind the ceiling.
We handle flush-mount lighting as part of our regular electrical services. Whether it’s one fixture in a hallway or a whole set throughout a Boulder home, we install correctly, ground the wiring, and check the load on the breaker panels. That way, the lights last longer and don’t become another source of electrical problems later.
Flush mounts are also tied to energy efficiency. Replacing outdated fixtures with new low-energy models reduces electricity costs while improving the rooms. We provide the installation service, troubleshoot old wiring if worn out, and ensure everything works with your existing system.
Boulder Ceiling Fan Installation
Ceiling fans do more than circulate air. They tie into the electrical wiring, and if they’re not installed right, the risk isn’t only a wobbly fan but also faulty outlets, sparks, or wiring problems inside the ceiling. That’s why Boulder homeowners call on us instead of taking chances.
When we install ceiling fans, we provide:
- Secure mounting into beams so the fan doesn’t loosen or fall.
- Wiring that ties safely into the electrical box without overload.
- Testing for flickering lights or faulty outlets connected to the fan circuit.
- Balancing to keep the fan blades steady, avoiding long-term damage.
- Options for new outlets, wall switches, or remote controls tied to the fan.
Every fan installation also allows us to examine the home’s electrical needs more closely. Older systems often don’t have the capacity for new fans, especially if other appliances and lights pull from the same breaker. We upgrade wiring or breaker panels when needed, so Boulder homes stay safe while enjoying the comfort ceiling fans bring.
Boulder Whole-House Fans
A whole-house fan moves air through the attic and out of the house, cutting down heat and reducing the strain on air conditioning. Boulder homes with these fans often see better energy efficiency, but only if the wiring is safe and the fan is installed correctly.
Our company installs and repairs whole-house fans so Boulder property owners get cooling without putting their electrical system at risk. Improper installations create fire hazards, especially if the fan pulls too much current from breaker panels already close to overload. Our electricians size the wiring, match the fan capacity, and ensure the electrical box can carry the load.
Whole-house fans are powerful tools, but they need professional electricians to install them safely. We’ve replaced fans that were wired with outdated cables, installed without surge protection, or left ungrounded. Each one was a potential hazard waiting to surface. We don’t leave those risks in place; we rewire, upgrade, and deliver safe installations every time.
Boulder Attic Fans
Attic fans serve a similar purpose but focus on venting heat from the attic space. Without one, Boulder homes often face higher cooling costs and heavier loads on HVAC systems. Installing or repairing attic fans isn’t just about ventilation; it’s about ensuring the wiring inside the hottest part of the house can withstand constant use.
We handle attic fan installation and replacement with wiring that resists heat exposure. Poorly insulated cables in attics often become brittle and dangerous over time. Our electricians replace those before tying in a new fan, preventing future electrical issues.
Attic fans must also be linked correctly to breaker panels; otherwise, flickering lights and repeated trips start showing up. We check all connections, install surge protection if necessary, and leave the system balanced. Boulder properties with working attic fans save on cooling and extend the lifespan of roofing and insulation, reducing long-term repair costs.
Boulder Whole-House Surge Protector
Power surges happen fast, often without warning. A strike nearby, a grid shift, or even appliances cycling on and off can push sudden spikes into a Boulder home’s wiring. Without protection, that spike runs through outlets and panels and into appliances, TVs, computers, security systems, and even refrigerators. Replacing them after a surge isn’t cheap, and in some cases, the damage is hidden until the next failure.
A whole-house surge protector ties directly into the breaker box. It stops that spike before it travels through the wiring, protecting everything inside. Our electricians in Boulder install surge protection systems that act as shields, keeping appliances safe while extending the life of your electrical installations.
This isn’t an accessory. It’s a safeguard against real financial loss and safety risks. Without it, each surge leaves minor damages that build into bigger electrical problems later.
Boulder Whole-House Surge Protection
Here’s what we provide when Boulder homeowners ask for surge protection:
- Surge protectors are installed directly into breaker panels.
- Testing the home’s electrical system to trace potential hazards.
- Options for layered protection include combining panel-level shields with outlet-based GFCI outlets.
- Emergency response when surges damage appliances or panels unexpectedly.
- Long-term upgrades so Boulder properties can handle modern appliance loads safely.
We’ve seen homes lose entire computer systems, HVAC units, or even hot tubs to surges. Every call for repair could have been avoided with the proper protection. Our electricians don’t just install; we educate, explain, and ensure homeowners understand what’s at stake. Surge protection is often overlooked, but it’s essential in Boulder, CO, where outages and weather shifts are common.
