What we know about Loveland
- Loveland sits right in the hail corridor along the Big Thompson, and the 2023 storms took out whole subdivisions off Eisenhower.
- Older Loveland homes often still have 100-amp panels, so adding central AC usually means a service upgrade.
- Larimer County permits flatwork quickly, but a driveway approach also needs city right-of-way approval.
How to pick the right electrician in Loveland
Electrical is the trade where homeowners get burned most often, because the work is invisible once the drywall goes back up. Here is what separates an electrician who will pass inspection from one who will not.
- 01
A state license number for the person on the job
Colorado licenses electricians through the state electrical board. Ask for the license of whoever will actually be inside your panel, not the license of whoever answered the phone.
- 02
A permit and an inspection, every time
Panels, new circuits and anything inside a wall need both. A bid that says a permit is unnecessary answers a different question: who is liable when it burns.
- 03
A load calculation, not a guess
A service upgrade should start with the actual load math for your house, so the size is right and the inspector signs it off once instead of twice.
- 04
A written scope naming the panel and breakers
Brand, amperage, breaker type and how many open spaces you are left with. Two bids that look alike can differ by a whole subpanel.
- 05
Someone who fixes the cause, not the symptom
A breaker that keeps tripping is a circuit problem. An electrician who swaps the breaker and leaves is selling you a repeat visit.
Ask every company these
- Who pulls the permit, and whose name goes on it?
- Will the person in my panel be a licensed electrician or an apprentice?
- Did you run a load calculation for this house, and can I see it?
- What is the panel brand and amperage, and how many open spaces are left when you finish?
- Is the drywall patch and paint mine to handle, or is it in the price?
- What does the inspection cover, and will you be there for it?
Walk away if
- A permit "not needed" on a panel change or a new circuit.
- A price given without the panel cover coming off.
- Aluminum branch wiring or a fuse box "made safe" with no plan in writing.
- Anyone who will not put the panel brand and breaker type in the quote.
What a real written quote includes
- Panel brand, amperage and breaker type
- The load calculation the size is based on
- Permit fee, and who meets the inspector
- Grounding and bonding work, called out separately
- What happens to the old panel and breakers
- Drywall and paint: in the price or not
- How many circuits are added, and what each one feeds
- Labor warranty, and the manufacturer term on the panel
Every line above is something we hand you before we start, in writing. If a bid you get from us is missing one, hire the other company.
