Brothers Plumbing, Heating & Electric can help with electrical troubleshooting and electrical panel services, but our residential electrical services go much further.

Explore professional electrical outlet installation and replacement for more ways to improve access to power throughout your home.
USB Outlets and Nightlight Outlets
USB outlets make it easier to charge compatible devices without using a separate wall adapter. Outlets with built-in nightlights add low-level lighting in hallways, bathrooms, kitchens, children’s rooms, stairways and other areas where nighttime visibility is helpful.
Motion, Dimmer and Smart Switches
Motion-activated switches can turn lights on when someone enters a room and off when the space is no longer in use. They can be especially helpful in laundry rooms, closets, garages and utility rooms.
Dimmer switches give you more control over a room’s brightness and atmosphere. Smart switches can allow compatible lighting to be controlled through an app, schedule or smart-home system. Brothers also provides professional electrical switch installation and replacement when you want to update the way your lighting operates.
Additional Outlets and Circuits
If your home does not have enough outlets where you need them, a Brothers electrician can evaluate whether additional outlets or circuits can be added safely. Professional breaker replacement and new circuit installation can help support added appliances, equipment and electrical demand. These may seem like small changes, but they can make a noticeable difference in how your home works for you.
Install Ceiling Fans and Customer-Purchased Lighting
Yes, Brothers can install ceiling fans and compatible residential lighting fixtures that you have already purchased. If you found the perfect fixture but do not want to tackle the electrical installation yourself, our electricians can help.
Customer-purchased fixtures may include:
- Ceiling fans
- Chandeliers
- Pendant lights
- Vanity lighting
- Wall sconces
- Flush-mount and semi-flush fixtures
- Outdoor light fixtures
- Other compatible residential lighting
Ceiling fan installation can involve more than replacing an existing light. The electrical box must be properly rated to support the fan’s weight and movement, and the installation may require additional wiring or controls.
Whether you are replacing an outdated fixture, changing the style of a room or adding a ceiling fan for greater comfort, Brothers can help make sure it is installed safely and properly. Learn more about Brothers’ residential lighting installation services. Go ahead and buy the fixture you love. We can help with the part that happens after you bring it home.
Install Doorbells and Home Security Cameras
Brothers can install doorbells and home security cameras, including the electrical wiring and power connections required for compatible equipment.
Adding home technology often starts with something that is easy to overlook: power. Whether you are replacing a traditional doorbell, installing a video doorbell or adding wired security cameras, an electrician can help provide the appropriate power source and wiring.
A properly wired installation can provide a cleaner, more permanent solution than relying on batteries or temporary extension cords.
Add Motion and Security Lighting
Brothers installs outdoor security lighting and motion-activated lights for residential properties. This lighting can improve visibility while adding another layer of security around your home.
Motion and security lighting can illuminate:
- Driveways
- Walkways
- Side yards
- Entry doors
- Garages
- Backyards
- Other dark areas around the property
Motion-activated lighting can be especially helpful when you arrive home after dark or need to move safely through outdoor areas. Brothers can design and install outdoor lighting for Denver-area homes based on your property’s visibility, safety and curb-appeal goals.
Install Landscape Lighting
Brothers can install electrical power and lighting for landscapes, walkways, patios, gardens and other outdoor areas.
Landscape lighting can highlight architectural details, trees, gardens and gathering spaces after sunset. It can also make steps, pathways and outdoor living areas easier to navigate at night.
Outdoor electrical projects require appropriate wiring, weather protection, GFCI outlet protection and other safety measures. Professional installation helps make sure your outdoor lighting is designed for the conditions in which it will operate.
Provide Electrical Power for Outdoor Water Features
Brothers can provide electrical power for compatible outdoor fountains, pond pumps, waterfalls and other powered water features.
These features may require properly protected circuits and outlets designed for equipment operating outdoors and near water. Because water and electricity require extra safety precautions, outdoor water features should be properly wired and protected instead of powered by temporary extension cords.
Add Outdoor Outlets for Holiday Lights and Displays
Brothers can add outdoor outlets and circuits for holiday lights, seasonal displays, landscaping and outdoor activities.
If decorating your home involves running extension cords through windows, across walkways or from every available outlet, permanent outdoor power may offer a safer and more convenient solution. A new circuit may be appropriate when the existing electrical system does not have enough capacity for the additional load.
Additional outdoor outlets can also be useful for:
- Patio equipment
- Yard tools
- Outdoor entertaining
- Seasonal lighting
- Inflatable decorations
- Power tools
- Outdoor electronics
Put Indoor or Outdoor Lights on a Timer
Brothers can install light timers and compatible lighting controls that automatically turn lights on and off according to a schedule.
Timers can be useful for porch lights, security lighting, landscape lighting, holiday displays and other fixtures that you regularly operate at set times. They add convenience and can help prevent lights from being left on when they are not needed.
Install Electrical Power for Hot Tubs and Spas
Brothers provides residential hot tub and spa wiring, including dedicated circuits and the electrical components required for a code-compliant installation.
Depending on the project, hot tub wiring may include breakers, grounding, GFCI protection, underground wiring or a subpanel. Because hot tubs can place significant demand on a home’s electrical system, the existing panel and available capacity should be evaluated before installation.
Our electricians provide hot tub and spa electrical installation so the power is ready when it is time to relax.
Run Electrical Power to a Shed, Garage or Outbuilding
Brothers can run electrical power to detached sheds, garages, workshops and other residential outbuildings.
Depending on how you plan to use the building, the electrical project may include:
- Interior and exterior lighting
- Standard outlets
- Dedicated circuits for tools or equipment
- Power for heating or cooling equipment
- Workshop or office electronics
- A subpanel for multiple circuits
Running electricity to a detached structure may require trenching, underground conduit, new circuits, grounding and permits. Brothers can evaluate the project and provide electrical power for a detached shed, garage or outbuilding based on its intended use.
With reliable power, a backyard shed can become a workshop, hobby room, office or more functional storage space.
Complete Electrical Work for Home Remodeling
Brothers provides electrical wiring and installation for kitchen, bathroom, basement, room-addition and other residential remodeling projects.
Moving a wall, updating a kitchen, finishing a basement or adding a room often requires changes to the electrical system. Our electricians can add or relocate circuits, outlets, switches, lighting and wiring for appliances or other equipment.
A remodel is also a good time to consider how you plan to use the space. You may want more outlets, USB charging, dimmable lighting, smart controls or dedicated circuits for larger appliances. Planning the electrical work before the walls are closed can make installation easier and help the finished room work better for you.
Run Electrical Wiring for an Electric Fireplace
Brothers can install the wiring or dedicated circuit required for a compatible electric fireplace.
Depending on the model and manufacturer’s requirements, plugging an electric fireplace into the nearest outlet may not be the right solution. An electrician can evaluate the fireplace’s power requirements and your home’s available electrical capacity.
A properly planned electrical connection can create a cleaner installation and help ensure that the fireplace has the power it needs to operate correctly. Brothers provides electric fireplace wiring in Denver for compatible residential units.
Install Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Brothers provides professional smoke alarm installation and replacement, including hardwired and battery-powered models, as well as carbon monoxide detectors.
Professional help can be especially useful when replacing older hardwired alarms, adding detectors in new locations or checking whether existing units are operating correctly.
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors may be small, but they are among the most important safety devices in your home.
Install Whole-Home Surge Protection
Brothers installs whole-home surge protectors that help protect appliances, electronics and connected home systems from damaging voltage spikes.
Plug-in surge strips only protect the equipment connected to them. A whole-home surge protector is installed at the electrical system and adds protection for devices and equipment throughout the house, including appliances and HVAC equipment with sensitive electronics.
Power surges can result from lightning, utility fluctuations, electrical switching and equipment cycling within the home. No device can prevent every type of damage, but a professionally installed whole-house surge protector provides a broader layer of protection than power strips alone.
Install a Standby Generator for Backup Power
Brothers installs residential standby generators that can automatically provide backup power during a utility outage. A properly sized system can help keep selected essentials running, such as refrigeration, lighting, heating equipment, sump pumps and other critical circuits.
Brothers can evaluate your home’s electrical demand, discuss which systems you want to keep operating and recommend an appropriate backup-power solution. Learn more about standby generator installation in Denver before the next unexpected outage.
Install a Residential EV Charger
Brothers provides professional electric car charger installation, including residential Level 2 EV charging equipment.
The installation process may include evaluating your home’s electrical capacity, installing a dedicated circuit, completing required permitting, mounting and connecting the charger, and testing the equipment. In some homes, an electrical panel upgrade may be needed to support the added load.
Even if you do not currently own an electric vehicle, EV charging capability may be worth considering when planning a panel replacement, garage remodel or other major electrical upgrade.
