Aurora electrical installation calls come from homeowners in very different situations. Some are in older west Aurora homes where the electrical infrastructure has reached a point where repair is no longer the right approach. Others are in newer east Aurora homes where the electrical is sound but the household’s load demands have grown past what the original panel was designed for. A good installation should end with an electrical system that handles the home’s actual loads safely and correctly from the first day of use.

Local Electrical Installation & Replacement in Aurora, CO
Homeowners here usually want the same few things from a company doing this work: someone who explains what the project involves, prices it honestly before work begins, and finishes the job to code. That is what we aim to deliver on every electrical installation.
Electrical installation in Aurora requires evaluating what the home currently has before recommending a scope. An older west Aurora home may have aluminum wiring that was common in 1960s and 1970s construction, or a panel that has been carrying the same loads for half a century.
A newer east Aurora home may have solid wiring infrastructure where the work is limited to circuit additions or EV charger installation. Those details, understood before work starts, are what keep an installation from creating a downstream problem.
Aurora homeowners usually look for a few practical things from the company they hire for this work:
- Local Fit: Aurora’s electrical installation needs span from wiring and panel work in older west Aurora neighborhoods to circuit additions and EV charging infrastructure in newer east Aurora communities. Our team works across that full range and adjusts the scope recommendation based on what the home’s electrical system actually has.
- Accurate Scoping: We evaluate the home’s existing electrical capacity and condition before recommending a scope. An installation that reveals a wiring or panel concern gets addressed before it becomes a code or safety issue.
- Verified Credentials: Licensed electricians backed by BBB A+ accreditation.
- Upfront Pricing: We explain the full scope and cost before work begins.
- Whole-Home Support: Elkhorn handles HVAC, plumbing, and electrical under one roof, which matters when an electrical installation involves other systems.
- Maintenance Plan Support: The Whole Home Comfort Plan puts an annual electrical safety inspection in place after installation.
- Financing Options: Larger electrical installation projects can be financed to make the timing easier to manage.
- Homeowner Feedback: Homeowners consistently mention a licensed electrician who explained what was being installed, finished the job to code, and left the system working correctly.
That combination tends to make a larger electrical project feel organized and grounded.
Common Electrical Installation & Replacement Projects
The most common electrical installation and replacement projects we handle in Aurora include:
- Panel Upgrades and Replacement: Replacing a panel that is undersized, outdated, or showing the capacity limits of an older installation, especially relevant in west Aurora homes where original panels from the 1960s and 1970s are still in service.
- Aluminum Wiring Remediation: Addressing aluminum wiring in older Aurora homes through connection upgrades at outlets and switches, which reduces the fire risk associated with aluminum wiring without requiring a full rewire.
- Circuit Additions: Adding dedicated circuits for EV chargers, home offices, outdoor equipment, or any equipment that needs its own circuit to operate safely.
- EV Charger Installation: Installing a Level 2 EV charging circuit and outlet in newer east Aurora homes, including any panel evaluation or upgrade needed to support it safely.
- GFCI and AFCI Upgrades: Replacing standard outlets and breakers with GFCI or AFCI protection in areas where code requires it or where the homeowner wants improved safety, especially in older homes where original protection devices are absent or outdated.
- Outlet and Switch Installation: Adding outlets, switches, or USB outlets in rooms where the existing layout no longer fits how the home is used.
- Whole-Home Surge Protection: Installing whole-home surge protection at the panel to protect connected equipment from voltage spikes.
- Ceiling Fan and Lighting Installation: Installing ceiling fans and fixtures, including adding proper ceiling fan-rated boxes where needed.
What the Electrical Installation Process Looks Like
- We start with a review of what the project needs, including the home’s current panel capacity, existing wiring condition, and what load the new installation will add.
- We explain the approach, the code requirements, and what permits and inspections are involved before work begins.
- We provide upfront pricing before any work starts.
- On the day of the installation, we protect the work area, complete the installation to code and manufacturer specifications, and coordinate with the required inspections.
- We walk you through what was installed, how to use any new equipment or panel features, and what the updated electrical system can support.
A well-executed installation ends with an electrical system that handles the home’s loads safely and correctly, and a homeowner who understands what was installed and why it matters.

FAQs About Electrical Installation & Replacement in Aurora, CO
How do I know if my panel needs to be upgraded before I add new circuits?
If the panel has limited open slots, is frequently tripping, or is already carrying close to its rated capacity, adding new circuits may require a panel upgrade as part of the project. In older west Aurora homes, this is a common finding. In newer east Aurora homes where EV chargers or major appliances are being added, a panel evaluation is the right starting point. We evaluate before recommending a scope.
What is involved in installing an EV charger at home?
A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit. Depending on the home’s existing panel capacity, installation may also require adding a circuit or upgrading the panel. We evaluate the home’s electrical system before recommending the right approach and include any required panel work in the upfront pricing.
What is aluminum wiring remediation, and does my Aurora home need it?
Aluminum wiring was commonly used in residential construction in the 1960s and 1970s, which covers a significant portion of west Aurora’s housing stock. Aluminum expands and contracts differently than copper, which can loosen connections at outlets and switches over time and increase fire risk. Remediation involves installing compatible pigtail connections at each device rather than rewiring the whole home. We evaluate whether remediation is needed and explain the scope before recommending it.
Do you pull permits for electrical installation work?
Yes. Electrical installation work that requires a permit is completed with the appropriate permits, and we coordinate the required inspections.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most panel upgrades take one day. The work may require a brief service interruption coordinated with the utility. We will give you a realistic timeline before we start.
Do you offer same-day or 24/7 service for electrical emergencies?
Yes. We offer same-day service for many electrical calls and 24/7 emergency support for urgent situations. Call 720-615-0098 and we will help you figure out the right next step.
Do you offer financing for larger electrical installation projects?
Yes. Financing options are available for larger electrical installation and replacement projects. We can walk you through what is available before you commit.
