Not enough outlets, a switch that does nothing, or two-prong receptacles you can't safely plug a surge strip into? These are some of the most common calls we get, and Denver Power Electric handles them quickly and to code. Whether you need a single receptacle added in a finished basement or a whole home brought up to modern outlet standards, our licensed electricians do clean, safe work at a flat, upfront price.
Older Denver homes were built when one outlet per room was normal, which leaves today's homeowners running power strips and extension cords, a genuine fire hazard. We add new receptacles wherever you need them, replace worn or painted-over outlets, convert ungrounded two-prong outlets to properly grounded three-prong service, and install dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances like window AC units, space heaters, and garage freezers. When older outlets reveal deeper wiring problems, we'll flag them and can fold the fix into rewiring work.
Safety codes have advanced, and we install accordingly. GFCI outlets are required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, and outdoor locations, where they cut power instantly if they sense a ground fault, protecting against shock. AFCI protection guards against arc faults, a leading cause of electrical fires. We make sure your kitchen and bath receptacles, outdoor outlets, and any new circuits meet current Denver code, and we pair sensitive electronics with whole-home surge protection for an extra layer of defense.
Outlets and switches are also where smart-home upgrades start. We install smart switches and dimmers, USB and USB-C combo outlets so you can ditch the wall bricks, motion-sensor switches for closets and hallways, and three- and four-way switching so you can control a light from multiple doorways. If you're building out a connected home, we can tie this work into a broader smart home electrical plan or coordinate it with new lighting and ceiling fans.
Pricing is simple and honest. Most single outlet or switch installations in Denver run $150 to $350, depending on whether we're replacing existing devices or running new wire to a fresh location, with multi-device jobs priced as a flat bundle. You get the number in writing before we start, and our electricians clean up after themselves and label everything clearly. Need outlets where you actually use them?
