Electrician in Glendale, CO

Not always, but it depends on your current panel's capacity and age. A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt, 40- to 60-amp circuit, and if your existing panel is already running close to its capacity or is an older 100-amp service, adding that circuit may not be safe or code-compliant without an upgrade first. Colorado Electric Corp performs a panel capacity assessment as part of every EV charger installation consult, so you'll know exactly what your system can support before any work begins. We'll never recommend a panel upgrade you don't need, and if your current service can handle the charger, we'll tell you that directly.

Most residential panel upgrades are completed in a single day, typically somewhere between four and eight hours depending on the complexity of your system and whether any supplemental wiring work is required. The process involves shutting off power to your home, removing the existing panel, installing the new one, reconnecting all circuits, and inspecting the work before power is restored. Colorado Electric Corp pulls all required permits so the installation is fully code-compliant, and we schedule the work so you have a clear picture of the timeline before we start. Our team works efficiently and won't leave a job unfinished at the end of the day.

A SPAN Smart Panel is a next-generation electrical panel that replaces your traditional breaker box and connects to an app that gives you circuit-level energy monitoring, remote control of individual circuits, and the ability to prioritize power loads during an outage. It's particularly valuable for homeowners who have or are planning to add solar panels, a home battery system, or an EV charger, because it manages all of those systems from a single interface. Colorado Electric Corp is a SPAN Certified Installer, meaning our team is trained and authorized to install and configure these panels correctly. Whether it's worth it depends on your situation, and we're happy to walk through that with you honestly before you commit to anything.

Yes. Every technician on the Colorado Electric Corp team is individually licensed and insured, not just the company at the entity level. This is an important distinction that many homeowners don't think to ask about. When you hire a company where only the business holds a license but the field technicians are not individually licensed, you have less protection if something goes wrong. Our approach means that every person who works on your home meets Colorado's licensing standards and carries their own insurance coverage.

Yes. Helping homeowners access available rebates and tax incentives is a standard part of how Colorado Electric Corp works with clients. There are federal tax credit programs, Xcel Energy rebate programs, and other Colorado-specific incentives that apply to EV charger installations, panel upgrades, and home electrification projects. The specific amounts and eligibility requirements change over time, so we walk each homeowner through the programs that apply to their project rather than quoting blanket figures. Our dedicated rebates and tax incentives resource is a good starting point, and our team can answer specific questions about what you might qualify for.
