Panel upgrades, inspections, generators, EV chargers, and dedicated circuits — done right by a local crew that shows up on time and stands behind every wire.
When a breaker trips for the third time this week or a new hot tub needs its own circuit, homeowners across Fort Collins, Loveland, and Windsor call Ironwood Electrical. We've wired panels, generators, and whole-home surge protection in this region since 1987 — and we still answer the phone like a neighborhood shop should.
Every job gets a clean install, a clear explanation of what we found, and work that meets current code — not the code from the year your house was built. No upsells. No mystery charges. Just a licensed local electrician who treats your home like the next one he'll be called back to.
From a single GFCI outlet to a full panel upgrade — here's what our crew handles Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.
A documented safety inspection of the panel, wiring, and grounds. We walk every circuit, test for loose connections and overheating, flag anything out of code, and hand you a written report you can hand to your insurer or buyer. Ideal before a sale, after a remodel, or on any home over 25 years old.
Call to scheduleNew outlets, GFCI protection, dimmers, and smart switches — installed to code and labeled at the panel. Kitchens, baths, and exterior outlets get GFCI where the code requires it, and we'll tell you why. Dead outlet? Flickering switch? We trace the cause instead of swapping parts.
Call to scheduleMounting, bracing, and wiring ceiling fans on proper boxes rated for the weight and vibration. A ceiling fan on a standard light box will wobble, hum, and eventually crack the plaster — we replace the box, balance the blades, and run a clean switch leg so you control it from the wall.
Call to scheduleStandby generator hookup with transfer switch installation. When the grid drops in a Colorado storm, your furnace, fridge, and well pump keep running. We size the unit to your real loads, pull the permits, and coordinate the gas side so the install passes inspection the first time.
Call to scheduleDedicated circuits for hot tubs, ranges, and dryers — sized, protected, and the way the manufacturer and the code both demand. A hot tub on a shared circuit is a fire waiting to happen; we pull a clean GFCI-protected run and ground it right so the water stays where it belongs.
Call to scheduleReplacing overloaded or outdated panels with modern breaker panels — including the Federal Pacific and Zinsco boxes that still hide in older Fort Collins homes. We size for today's loads (and tomorrow's EV), re-bond the ground, label every circuit, and pass inspection without a callback.
Call to scheduleLevel charger installation with a dedicated circuit. We check your panel's spare capacity first — if it can't take the load, we'll size a panel upgrade as part of the same job instead of letting you find out the hard way. Hardwired or NEMA 14-50, indoor or garage, done clean.
Call to scheduleWhole-home surge protection installed at the panel. Power strips protect one outlet; a panel-mounted surge protector guards every device in the house — HVAC boards, fridge compressors, TVs, and that new EV charger — for a fraction of what one fried motherboard costs.
Call to schedule“Fast, fair, and tidy.”
“Professional from the first phone call.”
“The surge protection was done well.”
“Reliable work at a fair price.”
Since 1987 we've wired everything from Old Town bungalows to Timnath builds. That's three decades of local codes, local inspectors, and local weather — built into every job.
We serve Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, and nearby communities — not the whole Front Range. Short drives mean faster scheduling and a tech who knows your neighborhood's panel quirks.
We tell you what we found, what it costs, and why — before we touch a wire. No surprise line items. No "while we're here" upsells. Just the work that needs doing, priced straight.
Permits pulled. Inspections passed. Work that meets today's code, not the year the house was built. When you sell the home, the next inspector won't find a single shortcut.
From Old Town out to the foothills and across the Cache la Poudre — Ironwood Electrical keeps the lights on for homes across the region. If you're within our service area, we'll be there.
Tell us what's going on — a tripping breaker, a new hot tub, a panel that's older than you are — and we'll get back to you fast during business hours. For anything urgent, the phone is fastest.
