Running Electrical

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—in most areas, including Aurora and Greater Denver, you’ll need an electrical permit to run power to any outbuilding. Done! handles permitting, inspections, and code compliance for every outdoor circuit we install, so you can focus on using your new space—not navigating red tape.

While it might seem convenient, extension cords are not safe or legal for permanent power. They pose fire and electrocution risks, especially in wet or unprotected outdoor areas. Done! installs permanent, weatherproof wiring that keeps your equipment, tools, and outlets powered safely and consistently.

A dedicated circuit can support lighting, outlets, garage door openers, gate motors, power tools, and even small heating or cooling equipment inside your shed or garage. We’ll help you plan the right electrical load and wiring so your structure functions like an extension of your home.

We typically run power through underground conduit (trenching), or overhead when necessary, and connect it to your main panel with a properly rated breaker. Depending on the structure’s needs, we may install a small subpanel inside for additional circuits. Done! ensures the entire system is weather-sealed, grounded, and fully up to code.

Shed Electrical Installation Near Me

Reliable Power for Sheds, Garages, Gates & Outdoor Structures

Outdoor structures like sheds and detached garages aren’t just for storage anymore—they’re workshops, home gyms, offices, and fully functional extensions of your living space. But to use them year-round and for more than just daylight hours, you’ll need more than an extension cord. You need a safe, permanent electrical circuit installed by a licensed professional.

At Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we specialize in running electric to sheds, gates, and outdoor structures for homeowners across Aurora and Greater Denver. Our licensed electricians design and install code-compliant circuits that power your equipment, lighting, security systems, and more—all while protecting your home, family, and investment.

Why You Shouldn’t Use Extension Cords

Temporary solutions aren’t built for permanent needs

We get it—dragging a heavy-duty extension cord from the house to the shed might feel like a shortcut. But outdoor extension cords are not a long-term or safe solution for powering a detached structure. They’re prone to wear, weather damage, and overloading. Worse, they often violate local code and present fire and shock risks.

Our team installs dedicated outdoor electrical circuits that safely deliver the power you need, with proper trenching, conduit, grounding, and GFCI protection. It’s not just about compliance—it’s about building something that works every day, rain or shine.

What We Power in Outdoor Structures

Practical electricity for projects, security, and convenience

If you’re asking how to run electricity to a shed, it probably means you have plans for the space—tools, lighting, a workbench, or even a backup freezer. With the right electrical setup, a backyard structure can power:

  • Interior and exterior lighting
  • Standard and GFCI outlets
  • Small HVAC units or heaters
  • Power tools, compressors, and battery chargers
  • Security systems and cameras
  • Automatic gate motors
  • Garage door openers

Whether you’re creating a functional workspace or just want to open your gate remotely at night, Done! builds systems that handle it all—without tripping breakers or risking damage.

How Electricity Gets to the Structure

Designed for distance, durability, and code compliance

When we run electric to an outdoor structure, it starts with understanding what you need—how far the power has to travel, what you’ll be running, and how often. We assess your main electrical panel’s capacity, plan the safest route for conduit (usually underground), and determine if you’ll need a subpanel inside the structure for multiple circuits.

Our process includes:

  • Electrical load calculations
  • Trenching and outdoor-rated conduit installation
  • Weatherproof GFCI outlets and enclosures
  • Grounding and bonding
  • Dedicated breakers or subpanels
  • Permit coordination and code inspections

Every job is handled by licensed electricians who understand both the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local Aurora/Denver requirements. You’ll have permanent, reliable power—without cutting corners.

We Power More Than Just Sheds

Gates, garages, workshops, and more

Running electric to a detached garage or gate motor system involves similar planning and protection. Our team wires automatic driveway gates, installs outlets and lights in workshops, and even sets up power for garden rooms or studio sheds. These spaces deserve the same level of quality as your main home—and Done! delivers that standard on every job.

If you’re converting a storage space into something more useful, we’ll walk you through what’s needed for power, lighting, and safety. Our goal is to make your whole property work better, not just your house.
