Discover more about Northgate Electric and the electricians behind the work. Twenty years of reliable, code-correct electrical service across the Denver metro.
People usually call an electrician when something has already gone wrong: a breaker that keeps tripping, an outlet that feels warm, lights that flicker for no clear reason. We started Northgate Electric in 2006 because too many of those calls ended with a patch instead of a fix. Our electricians find the actual cause, explain it in plain language, and put a written price in front of you before any work begins.
Homes and businesses across the Denver metro rely on us for repairs, panel upgrades, lighting, EV chargers and new wiring, and most of that work comes from neighbours who told a friend. Twenty years in, we are still a local crew. The electrician who answers your call knows Denver housing stock, Colorado code and the inspectors who check the work, and that local knowledge is the difference between a job done quickly and a job done right.
Our mission is simple: safe, code-compliant electrical work, explained clearly and priced honestly. Every job is led by a licensed electrician, every permit is pulled and closed, and every panel we touch is left labelled and tidy. We would rather spend an extra ten minutes showing you what we found than leave you wondering what you paid for. Electrical work stays hidden behind walls for decades, so we build it the way we would want it built in our own homes, with the right materials, correct connections and nothing left for the next person to untangle.
Electrical needs change from one home or building to the next. Some projects are small repairs, others are full upgrades that take planning and permits. These are the services Denver homeowners and property managers call us for most:
We dealt with a stubborn outlet problem for months. Two other companies told us to replace the whole circuit. Northgate diagnosed a damaged connection deep inside the box and fixed it without unnecessary work. Very skilled troubleshooters.
Values show up in the small choices an electrician makes when nobody is watching. These four guide every job we take on.
We quote what the job actually needs, not what earns the most. If a repair will solve the problem, we will not sell you a replacement, and if something is outside our scope we will say so.
A safe job protects the building and the people in it. We test before we touch, follow lockout procedures, and never cut corners on grounding, breaker sizing or connections.
Clean wiring, organised panels and correct load calculations come from training and experience. Our electricians keep learning as codes and equipment change.
Working in your home is a privilege. We show up when we say we will, protect floors and furniture, keep you informed and leave the space cleaner than we found it.
Northgate Electric is a small team on purpose. You get the same licensed electricians on your second call that you got on your first, and they remember your panel. Our crew includes master and journeyman electricians who specialise in older Denver homes, service upgrades, EV charging and commercial tenant work. Every technician carries a stocked van, so most repairs are finished on the first visit, and every one of them is trained to explain the work as clearly as they perform it.
Electrical codes are updated every few years as equipment and building practices change. Our electricians complete ongoing training on the National Electrical Code, local Denver amendments, arc-fault and ground-fault protection, and new technology like smart panels and battery backup. That training means your project is designed for the rules that apply today, and it passes inspection the first time.
Good electrical work is communication as much as craft. Here is what a visit from Northgate looks like:
Every property is different. Older homes may have outdated wiring or panels that were modified over the years, while newer buildings bring smart systems and higher loads. Either way, you will know what we found and why we recommend it.
If something in your home or business is not working the way it should, or you are planning a project that needs more power, call Northgate Electric at (720) 555-0142. We will listen, give you straight answers and a clear price, and get your electrical system working safely again.
Have questions? We have answers. Find quick information about our electrical services, pricing, and safety below.
Yes, 24/7. If you smell burning, see sparking, or a breaker will not stay reset, shut the circuit off at the panel if it is safe to reach and call us. Describe what you are seeing when you call so we bring the right parts.
A written estimate fixes the price before the work starts and shows exactly what is included. It protects you from an hourly meter running while nobody explains what is happening.
Yes. LEDs use a fraction of the electricity, run far cooler, and last years longer. In older Denver homes they also reduce load on circuits that were never designed for modern demand.
Clear access to the panel and the affected area, note when the problem started, and if a breaker is involved read us the amp rating printed on it. That is usually enough for us to arrive with the right parts.
Yes. We handle scheduled maintenance, turnover repairs and code compliance across multiple units, and we invoice in a way that works for property management.
No. Extension cords are for temporary use. If a room permanently relies on one, that room needs another outlet, a cord under continuous load is a real fire risk.
A fuse burns out once and must be replaced. A breaker trips and can be reset. Both protect the circuit, but a panel still using fuses is old enough to be worth assessing.
Usually yes. Two-prong outlets have no ground, which leaves sensitive electronics unprotected and removes a layer of shock protection. Whether it is a simple swap depends on the wiring behind the wall.
Yes, and the earlier the better. Bringing an electrician in during planning is far cheaper than moving circuits after the drywall is up.
Yes. Remodel-rated housings are designed to install from below without tearing out the ceiling. Placement and joist locations decide the layout.
