Electrician in Acres Green, CO
Acres Green is a small, self-contained 1970s and 80s subdivision, which makes the electrical picture unusually consistent. Almost everything here was built within a narrow window, so homes tend to share the same original 100A service, the same grounding practices, and in a number of cases the same panel brands that era favored. None of that is automatically a problem, but it does mean a very high proportion of our calls here resolve into the same two jobs: a capacity upgrade, or replacing a panel that should not still be in service. The other driver is location. Acres Green sits right by the Lincoln Avenue corridor, so EV adoption is high, and a Level 2 charger is exactly the kind of continuous load a 1970s panel was never sized for. We do the load calculation before quoting, because sometimes the honest answer is that you have room already.

Electrical services we provide in Acres Green
What Acres Green homes are like electrically
Acres Green is a compact 1970s and early 80s subdivision just north of Lone Tree, and the housing is unusually consistent for the area: single-family homes on modest lots, most still on their original service. That era means 100A panels are common, grounding is sometimes partial, and a fair number of homes still have the panel brands that era installed. Because the neighborhood sits close to the Lincoln Avenue corridor, a lot of owners here are adding EV charging, which is where the original panel size becomes the limiting factor.
Permits and inspections in Acres Green
Douglas County Building Division
Acres Green is unincorporated Douglas County, so permits go through the county rather than a city office. Panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, hot tub circuits and generators all require a permit and inspection. We file with Douglas County, coordinate CORE for service work, and meet the inspector.
Permit rules and fees change. We confirm current requirements with the jurisdiction before every permitted job. See our permit guides.

“We did not have power coming through a circuit in our garage. When I called on a Friday morning, I fully expected we would have to wait until after the weekend for an electrician to come out. But Jud was able to come diagnose the issue within just a few hours! I was very impressed, and so happy that he was also able to fix the problem very quickly. Jud was very professional, explained everything so well, and is very trustworthy.”Read the full review

“We had a great experience with Allsafe Electric. At the initial consult, we discussed the work we wanted done, and Jud expertly explained the options for how he could get it done clean and cost effective. He didn't try to push or upsell anything. His estimate was clear and fair, and he was flexible when we asked to reschedule the date of work. Once scheduled he showed up right on time and did clean, quality work. The work included relocating our EV charger hookup, adding a new outlet, installation of both an interior and exterior ceiling fan box, a new ethernet cable plug, and a new outlet for an induction cooktop. Professional, communicative, and easy to work with. We'd absolutely use Allsafe again and recommend Jud to anyone in the Parker area.”Read the full review

“Over the past couple years we have been stumbling through the repairs of construction defects. Many of those defects involved electrical. Along with new defects, we still have some old electrical that was not made up to date by the previous subcontractor. Judd and the AllSafe crew have helped navigate and make repairs as we find them. It’s been such a relief to have knowledgeable electricians help keep our family safe and regain some of our creature comforts. We appreciate knowing someone around we can count on for help. Thank you for your patients and empathy for us during all this. We really appreciates good people. Thank you. The Black Family”Read the full review

“Judd was great. I called for an estimate, they came right out, game a good price, i hired them, they showed up right away, did a great job, took care of my gear and my dogs, and pleasure to work with. Allsafe installed a new 20-amp line for my stereo and installed a whole house surge protector and of course had to fix some issues with my breaker panel because my house was built recently by a homebuilder that took some short cuts.”Read the full review

Questions from Acres Green homeowners
Is Acres Green permitted through Douglas County or Lone Tree?
Douglas County. Acres Green is unincorporated, so despite sitting right next to Lone Tree it does not use the city building department. We confirm the parcel before filing.
My 1970s home has a 100A panel. Can I add an EV charger?
Sometimes, and the load calculation is what settles it. A Level 2 charger is a large continuous load, so whether your existing service carries it depends on what else the house runs. We do that math first rather than selling you an upgrade you may not need.
Is Acres Green on CORE or Xcel?
Generally CORE Electric Cooperative, like most of Douglas County. It matters because EV charger and heat pump rebates differ between providers, and most Colorado rebate articles online assume Xcel.
Should I have the panel checked before buying here?
It is worth it in this neighborhood specifically, because the housing is all from one era and that era has known panel issues. An electrical inspection opens the cover and tells you what brand and what condition, which a general home inspection will not.
