Customer Review
“King electric was awesome. We had several different electrical projects we needed done around our house and a team of 4 came and knocked it all out in a few hours. They were all kind and respectful in our home and took extra time to make sure we were happy with some details before putting final touches on everything. I also felt like the price was more than fair for what we had done. They added a 20 amp circuit and outlet for our home gym, installed several sconces, and replaced some older style ceiling lights with wafer lights in a very tall living room and also in a bedroom and preserves the ceiling so we didn’t have to have any drywall patching done. We will definitely use them for all future projects!” – Mathew Lee

Electrical Safety Tips
Here in Northern Colorado, there are common things that can cause problems with electrical systems. Safety is paramount when dealing with electrical issues. At King Electric, LLC we know that sometimes electrical issues can arise, let us supply you with some essential tips:
- Power Off: Before working on any electrical components, turn off the power at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Confirm that the power is off using a non-contact voltage tester.
- Avoid Water: Never touch electrical components with wet hands or in damp conditions. Water and electricity don’t mix!
- Inspect Cords and Outlets: Check power cords for fraying, exposed wires, or damage. Replace damaged cords promptly. Inspect outlets for signs of wear, such as cracks or loose connections. If an outlet feels warm, it may be overloaded or faulty.
- Use Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs): Install GFCIs in areas with water exposure (kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor outlets). They protect against electric shocks, Be sure to test your GFCIs monthly by pressing the “Test” button and ensuring it trips.
- Extension Cords: Keep in mind, extension cords should only be used temporarily, not as permanent solutions. Do not overload extension cords; follow their wattage limits. Avoid running cords under rugs or furniture.
Safety first
- Electrical Fires: In the case of an electrical fire, NEVER use water. Use a fire extinguisher rated for electrical fires, or smother the flames with a non-flammable material. Evacuate and call emergency services immediately.
- Childproof Outlets: Accidents with children are more common than you think. It is always when you are not looking that something goes wrong. Be sure to install outlet covers or tamper-resistant outlets to prevent small children from inserting objects into sockets.
- Light Bulbs: A common mistake is using the wrong bulb wattage. Exceeding the recommended wattage can cause overheating. Check your fixtures and be sure that you are using the correct wattage bulbs. Always wait for bulbs to cool before replacing them.
- Avoid DIY Repairs: It can sometimes seem like an easy DIY repair; however, you don’t want to get in over your head. Complex electrical repairs should be left to professionals. DIY work can be dangerous. Call our team of licensed Northern Colorado electricians for any significant issues.
- Learn About Your Electrical Panel: You should always know where your electrical panel (breaker box) is located for your home or business. Circuit breakers should be labeled to identify which one controls each area of your home.
Remember, safety first! If you’re unsure or encounter a major electrical problem, consult one of our qualified Northern Colorado electricians.
