First we hired Daniel to come check out a problem with one of our light switches. He was so thorough and honest that we asked for a quote to upgrade a very old circuit panel. His price was very reasonable. He was always working one step ahead dealing with our energy company and getting the materials and permit. Daniel is a hard worker, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his work! We’re glad that now we have an electrician we trust in case we have any other work to be done.

Expert Outlet and Switch Installation in Lakewood, CO
Upstanding Electric LLC handles outlet and switch installation for Lakewood homeowners who need more power where they need it. We install new outlets, replace worn or dead receptacles, and upgrade switches throughout your home. Many Lakewood homes were built in the 1950s through 1970s and carry older wiring that needs a trained eye before any outlet or switch work begins. Mid-century builds in this area commonly have aluminum branch wiring, which behaves differently at connection points than copper. We check the existing wiring before we touch anything. From there, we install code-compliant outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and living spaces. We also install GFCI outlets where Lakewood's adopted electrical code requires them. Every job is done to current Colorado electrical standards. If your outlets are dead, discolored, loose, or simply not where you need them, call Upstanding Electric LLC and we will take a look.

Outlet and Switch Installation FAQ
Common questions about outlet and switch installation in Lakewood, CO.
Yes, we can run a new circuit or extend an existing one to add an outlet in any room of your Lakewood home. We assess your panel capacity first to confirm the circuit can handle the load.
A tripped GFCI outlet elsewhere on the same circuit is a common cause, and resetting it may restore power. If that doesn't fix it, a licensed electrician should inspect the wiring at that outlet.
Like-for-like outlet replacement in the same location is generally allowed without a permit in Lakewood, but any new outlet location requires a licensed electrician to pull a permit. Hiring a licensed electrician for any outlet work reduces the risk of wiring errors.
Yes, many Lakewood homes from that era have aluminum branch wiring, which requires specific handling at outlet and switch connections. We inspect the wiring condition before starting any installation work.
A GFCI outlet cuts power instantly when it detects a current imbalance, reducing shock risk in wet areas. Lakewood follows the National Electrical Code, which requires GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations.
Yes, we replace standard switches with dimmer switches in Lakewood homes as a standalone service. We confirm the existing wiring and fixture are compatible before the swap.
