At Denver Power Electric, we believe an informed homeowner makes the best decisions, so we have gathered the questions Denver-area families ask us most. Founded in 2009 by master electrician Aaron Voss, our team has earned a 4.9-star rating from 960 Google reviews by being upfront about pricing, permits, and what your home actually needs. Below you will find clear answers about how we work, and if your question is not here, our team is always happy to talk it through at (303) 555-0158.

One of the things that sets us apart is flat-rate, upfront pricing. Before any work begins, you receive a written price for the entire job, so there is never an hourly meter running while we diagnose or work. We are fully insured and licensed under CO Master Electrician License #ME.0047213, and we pull the proper permits for every job that requires one, whether you are in Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Thornton, or Arvada.

Many of our most common questions involve the big-ticket projects that Denver's older homes and growing EV market drive: 200A panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, and EV charger installation. Colorado leads the nation in EV incentives, and we help homeowners take full advantage of Xcel Energy rebates while sizing their electrical service correctly. We also handle the everyday essentials, from recessed lighting and ceiling fans to surge protection and standby generators.

We serve the entire metro, Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 6 PM, with 24/7 emergency service for the moments that cannot wait.

FAQ

Questions, answered

How does your flat-rate pricing work?

We assess your project, then give you a single written price for the entire job before any work begins. That price covers labor, materials, and permits, so you never see an hourly meter or surprise add-ons. If the scope changes once we open a wall, we stop and re-quote so you always approve the cost in advance.

Are you licensed and insured in Colorado?

Yes. Denver Power Electric holds CO Master Electrician License #ME.0047213 and carries full liability and workers compensation insurance. Every job is performed by or under a licensed electrician, and we pull permits with the appropriate city so your work is inspected, documented, and insurance-safe.

How much does a 200A panel upgrade cost?

Most residential 200A panel upgrades run $2,500 to $4,500 depending on your current panel, the meter and service mast condition, and your city's permit fees. It is one of the most valuable upgrades for older Denver-area homes because it safely supports modern loads like EV chargers, AC, and finished basements. We provide a free written quote.

Can you help me get the Xcel Energy and Colorado EV rebates?

Yes. Colorado offers some of the best EV and electrification incentives in the country, including Xcel Energy rebates on Level 2 chargers and panel upgrades. We install qualifying equipment and provide the documentation and itemized invoices you need to claim those rebates and state tax credits.

Do you offer same-day or emergency service?

We often have same-day or next-day availability for non-emergency work, and we run 24/7 emergency service for urgent issues like sparking panels, burning smells, dead circuits, or storm damage. Our regular hours are Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 6 PM. For anything urgent, call (303) 555-0158 any time.
