Littleton Electrical Panel Upgrade for a Safer, More Reliable Home

Littleton CO homes along the road during fall

When a homeowner in Littleton noticed their electrical system struggling to keep up with day-to-day demands, they reached out for help. Their panel was outdated and no longer suited for the modern power load — especially after recently installing a new air conditioner and evaporator coil. Our electrical team completed a full panel upgrade, handled all permitting, and brought the home’s power system up to current safety standards. The result was a safer, more capable electrical setup ready to support the home for years to come.

Job Overview

  • Location: Littleton, Colorado
  • Client Type: Residential homeowner
  • Scope: Complete electrical panel upgrade/replacement
  • Equipment Installed: New main electrical service panel
  • Additional Work: Permitting with the City of Lakewood, coordination with Xcel Energy, updated breakers, evaluation of existing circuits
  • Why It Mattered: The existing panel was not reliable enough to support the home’s modern electrical demands, including a recently installed 3-ton Comfort 26SCA4 AC and matching V-Coil

What We Found

During the initial inspection, our electrician found that the home’s aging electrical panel showed signs of wear and outdated configuration. Several circuits lacked proper labeling, and the panel did not provide the capacity needed for newer high-efficiency HVAC equipment added just four months prior. The homeowner also reported intermittent issues that suggested the system was nearing the end of its service life. A full panel replacement was the safest and most dependable solution.

The Solution

Our licensed electrician began by reviewing the existing wiring layout, confirming load requirements, and preparing a complete material and install plan. Once the permit was secured, the team disconnected the old panel and safely removed the outdated components.

We then installed a new main service panel, upgraded breakers, organized circuits for safer distribution, and ensured that grounding and bonding met current code. All wiring was reconnected securely, and the system was tested for correct voltage, amperage, and breaker performance.

After installation, we performed a full quality check and prepared the home for final electrical inspection. Coordination with Xcel Energy ensured everything was brought online seamlessly.
