What we do
Electrical services built for Colorado homes and businesses
From a flickering breaker to a full service upgrade, our licensed electricians handle it with permits pulled, code checked, and the site left cleaner than we found it.
Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
Tripping breakers, dead outlets, flickering lights or a burning smell — we diagnose the root cause and fix it, not just the symptom.
Lighting Installation & Design
Recessed lighting, under-cabinet runs, landscape lighting and dimmer/switch upgrades that actually match how you use each room.
Wiring & Rewiring
Full or partial rewires for older homes, basement finishes, additions and remodels — done to current code, with drywall left ready to patch.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 charger installs sized correctly for your panel, with the dedicated circuit and permit paperwork handled end to end.
Commercial Electrical Services
Tenant build-outs, office and retail lighting retrofits, and ongoing maintenance contracts for property managers and small businesses.

Why it matters
Licensed contractor vs. handyman vs. DIY
Electrical shortcuts don't show up on the invoice — they show up later, in an inspection report or a claim denial.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Yes. A walkthrough estimate for most residential jobs is free within the Denver metro service area. Larger commercial scopes may involve a small assessment fee, which we'll always tell you upfront.
Yes — we hold a Colorado electrical contractor license and pull permits directly with Arvada, Westminster, Golden, Wheat Ridge and the City and County of Denver, depending on where your project sits.
Most 200A panel upgrades take a single day of on-site work. Power is usually off for 3–6 hours during the swap. Utility coordination and permit scheduling can add a few days before we start.
Usually, yes — we run a load calculation during the estimate to confirm your panel has capacity. If it doesn't, we'll quote a panel upgrade alongside the charger install so you know the full cost before committing.
Yes, this is common work for us in Denver's older neighborhoods. We'll assess what's there, explain the risk level, and give you options ranging from targeted repairs to a full rewire.
We're based in Arvada and serve the greater Denver metro, including Westminster, Golden, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood and Denver proper. Outside that radius, reach out and we'll let you know if we can help.
About us
An Arvada-based crew that treats your panel like our own.
AMP City Electric was started by Christopher Carlson after years of running commercial crews around Denver and getting tired of watching homeowners get burned by rushed, unpermitted work. We built AMP City around a simple idea: quote it honestly, pull the permit, and do the work like an inspector is going to check it — because usually, one will.
Today our team handles everything from a single stuck breaker to full commercial build-outs, but we've kept the part that mattered from day one: a small, direct crew, real licensed electricians on every job, and a phone that gets answered by someone who actually knows your job.

What clients say
Feedback from recent projects
★★★★★
Panel upgrade was scheduled within the week and the crew was in and out in a day. Inspector had zero notes, which I've heard isn't always the case with electrical work.
R
Rachel M.Arvada, CO
★★★★★
Had them install an EV charger and rewire a couple of old outlets in the same visit. Quote matched the final invoice exactly, which was refreshing.
D
David K.Westminster, CO
★★★★★
Used AMP City for a small retail build-out. Dana kept me posted on permit status the whole way through, which made a normally stressful process pretty painless.
