Top-Rated Local Electricians in Wheatridge, CO
Wheatridge has a personality all its own: a little gritty, a little artsy, fiercely independent. The homes here reflect that same character. Mid-century ranches with original hardwood floors, small businesses that have been on the same block for decades, and a growing wave of homeowners who are putting serious love into properties that have some age on them.
That’s exactly the kind of work we’re built for.
Red Fox Electric is a family-owned electrical contractor based in Denver. We’ve been doing this long enough to know that every property in Wheatridge tells a story, and the electrical system is usually the most complicated chapter. Our job is to make that chapter easier: safer wiring, more capacity, code-compliant upgrades, and zero runaround. Just straight answers, fair prices, and quality work you can count on.
Electrical Services We Offer in Wheatridge, CO
We proudly serve Wheatridge with dependable electrical services built around your needs. Whether it’s a quick repair or a large-scale upgrade, we handle every job with the same level of care and zero shortcuts.
Residential Electrical Services
A lot of Wheatridge homes were built when a 100-amp panel was considered plenty. It isn’t anymore. Between home offices, EV chargers, smart home systems, and modern kitchen appliances, today’s homes need electrical systems that can keep up.
We offer:
EV Chargers
More Wheatridge residents are going electric, and a Level 2 home charger makes all the difference. Forget the slow trickle of a standard outlet. A properly installed Level 2 charger tops off most EVs overnight, so you’re never starting the day with a half-empty battery.
We handle the full installation from start to finish: evaluating your panel, pulling the permit, running the circuit, and mounting the charger exactly where it works best for your setup. We’ll also help you understand any rebates or incentives that could lower your cost.
Commercial Electrical Services
Wheatridge’s commercial scene runs the gamut from independent coffee shops and breweries to medical offices and light manufacturing. Whatever your business looks like, your electrical system needs to work reliably because downtime isn’t an option.
Our commercial electricians handle panel work, lighting upgrades, tenant improvements, new circuit installations, and ongoing maintenance. We work around your schedule, communicate clearly about timelines, and leave every job clean.
A Few Things Wheatridge Property Owners Ask Us
It’s worth it! Older panels weren’t designed to handle the loads that modern households put on them. Beyond the inconvenience of tripping breakers, undersized or outdated panels can create real safety risks, like overheating, arcing, and in some cases, fire.
If your home still has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel (both common in households from the 60s and 70s), those are worth addressing. A panel upgrade isn’t glamorous, but it’s one of the highest-value improvements you can make to an older home.
Knob-and-tube wiring isn’t automatically dangerous, but it does have limitations that matter for how you live today. It has no ground wire, which means it’s not compatible with three-prong outlets or certain appliances. It also wasn’t designed for modern electrical loads, and if it’s been modified improperly over the years, those modifications can create hazards.
Our residential electricians can assess what you have, let you know what’s safe to leave alone, and walk you through realistic options for updating the parts that matter most.
It starts with a conversation about your vehicle, your garage setup, and your panel. We’ll look at whether your current service can support a dedicated 240V circuit or whether a panel upgrade makes sense first. From there, we handle the permit, run the circuit, install the charger in the right spot for your car, and test everything before we leave.
The whole process typically takes a day or less once permits are in hand. We’ll also point you toward any available rebates that could offset the cost of an EV charger installation.
Call us. Red Fox Electric offers same-day emergency service Monday through Friday, 8 AM – 5 PM. If you’ve got sparking outlets, a burning smell near your panel, a breaker that won’t reset, or power out in part of your home, those aren’t things to wait on. We’ll get a licensed electrician out to diagnose and fix the problem the same day whenever we can.
Outside of business hours, leave us a message and we’ll be in touch first thing.
Absolutely. Lighting is one of the most transformative things you can do for a space, and it’s a lot easier to get right when we’re involved from the start. We work closely with homeowners and contractors on indoor lighting plans, recessed can layouts, under-cabinet lighting, dimmer compatibility, and whatever else the design calls for.
We also handle outdoor lighting — landscape lighting, security fixtures, porch and garage lights — if you want to extend the project outside.
