24/7 Emergency Electrical Repair in Lakewood
Outlets that spark or smell like burning plastic, a breaker panel that’s warm to the touch, or flickering lights across the house can all point to a serious fault. Our emergency electrician team is available 24/7 for Lakewood homes and businesses. If you see flames or smoke, get out and call 911, and report downed power lines to Xcel Energy.
Our Electrical Services in Lakewood
Allen Service works as both residential electrical contractors and commercial electrical contractors in Lakewood, serving single-family homes, apartment buildings, and storefronts. Our electricians repair what’s failing, replace what’s outdated, and plan new circuits for the equipment you’re adding.
Electrical Repair
Wiring connections in older homes loosen after decades of heating and cooling, which can cause flickering, dead outlets, or warm switch plates. Our electricians trace the fault, repair the connection or device, and let you know if the circuit shows signs of broader wear.
Electrical Replacement & Rewiring
Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s often have two-prong outlets, few kitchen circuits, and no GFCI protection, and homes from before 1940 may still have sections of knob-and-tube wiring. Allen Service replaces outdated outlets and switches, handles GFCI outlet installation in kitchens, baths, garages, and outdoor locations, and rewires circuits or whole homes when the existing wiring can’t keep up.
Electrical Panels
A panel or fuse box from the 1950s or 1960s was sized for a household with far fewer appliances. An electrical panel upgrade adds capacity and modern breaker protection, making room for central air, an EV charger, or a remodeled kitchen. Service upgrades also involve Xcel Energy, which provides electricity in Lakewood.
EV Chargers
Before installing a home EV charging station, our electricians confirm your panel has room for a dedicated circuit, which matters in older homes with limited capacity. Then we complete EV charger installation in your garage, carport, or driveway.
Generators
Winter windstorms and heavy spring snow can knock out power along the Front Range. Allen Service installs, repairs, and replaces standby generators, from essential-circuit systems to whole-home units, with natural gas or propane fuel options.
Lighting Installation
Mid-century homes often have few overhead fixtures, which makes recessed lighting installation a practical upgrade for living rooms and kitchens. Allen Service also installs ceiling fans, outdoor lighting, and EverLights permanent outdoor lighting, and handles lighting projects for businesses.
Commercial Electrical
Lakewood’s apartment complexes, offices, and retail centers depend on reliable electrical service. Our commercial electrical contractors handle repairs, upgrades, and new installations, and property managers comparing commercial lighting companies for hallway or exterior lighting upgrades can have us handle that work too.
Fire Restoration
Fire and the water used to fight it can leave wiring, outlets, and panels unsafe even when damage isn’t visible. Our electricians evaluate the affected system and repair or replace components so power can be restored safely.

5 Reasons To Call an Lakewood Electrician
Electrical systems in older homes rarely fail without some warning. If your Lakewood home has any of these issues, schedule a visit with one of our local electricians.
- A Fuse Box Instead of Breakers: Fuse panels are a sign of an older system that may not have the capacity or protection a modern home needs.
- Two-Prong Outlets: Ungrounded outlets limit what you can safely plug in and are common in homes built before the mid-1960s.
- Lights That Dim When the AC Runs: Dimming can signal an overloaded circuit or a service that’s too small for current demand.
- Discolored Outlets or Switch Plates: Brown marks or heat point to a failing connection behind the wall.
- Remodel or Addition Plans: New kitchens, finished basements, and additions usually need new circuits and may require a panel upgrade.
Do You Need a Permit for Electrical Work in Lakewood?
Yes. The City of Lakewood issues electrical permits for new work as well as replacement and repair work, and contractors must be registered with the city before applying. Even projects that are otherwise exempt from a building permit, such as a small shed, need an electrical permit if power is added. Permits are submitted through the city’s eTRAKiT system.
