Berthoud Homes

Berthoud mixes older homes around the historic downtown on Mountain Avenue with newer neighborhoods such as Heron Lakes and homes on larger lots outside town. Older homes can have undersized service, ungrounded outlets and aging panels; newer homes often need added circuits for shops, garages, EV chargers or hot tubs. Larger lots also bring longer runs to detached garages and outbuildings, which we size for voltage drop. See rewiring and hot tub circuits.

Permits in Berthoud

The Town of Berthoud Building Department (807 Mountain Ave.) issues building permits, and SAFEbuilt performs the Town's inspections. The Town lists electrical service, electrical work and hot tub electrical hook-ups among the projects that require a permit. We pull the permit and handle inspections. Berthoud spans Larimer and Weld counties, but inside town limits the Town handles permits on both sides of the county line. Properties outside town limits are permitted through Larimer County or Weld County, depending on which side of the line they’re on.

Electric Utilities in Berthoud

Berthoud homes are served by Xcel Energy or Poudre Valley REA depending on location. We confirm your utility for your address and coordinate with them when the job needs a disconnect or reconnect. For outages, see standby generators and transfer switches.

Projects We Do in Berthoud

Berthoud calls often involve detached garages and shops that need a subpanel, exterior and security lighting, and generator hookups so the furnace and well pump keep running during an outage. We plan the wire size for long runs, set up a transfer switch or a listed interlock made for your panel for a portable generator, and coordinate with your utility when the job needs a disconnect or reconnect.

Around Berthoud

We work in downtown Berthoud, Heron Lakes and the neighborhoods around town, and out toward Carter Lake. Nearby we serve Loveland, Longmont and Johnstown.

Common electrical questions from Berthoud homeowners

Berthoud is just down US-287 from our Loveland shop, and we handle repairs, upgrades and backup power there.

Repairs in Berthoud homes

How should a generator connect to my Berthoud home?

With a power inlet and a transfer switch or a listed interlock made for your panel, never a cord into a wall outlet. Never run a generator indoors, in a garage, or near windows and doors.

When does a Berthoud home need a panel upgrade?

Common signs are frequent tripping, no open breaker spaces, an old fuse box, double-tapped breakers, or plans for an EV charger, heat pump or hot tub. A load calculation confirms it, and replacing service equipment now requires a surge protector.

Why do breakers keep tripping in my Berthoud home?

A breaker trips to protect the wiring from an overloaded circuit, a short circuit or a ground fault. Unplug a few things and reset it once. If it trips again right away, trips with nothing plugged in, or you notice heat or a burning smell, stop resetting it and call a licensed electrician.

Upgrades for Berthoud homes

Can I plug in a hot tub?

Only small plug-and-play tubs made for a 120-volt GFCI outlet can plug in, and never through an extension cord. Most full-size tubs need a dedicated, hardwired 240-volt GFCI-protected circuit.

Is a warm outlet normal?

No. A dimmer can feel slightly warm, but a warm outlet is not normal. Unplug what’s in it, turn off the breaker if it’s safe to do so, and call us. If you see smoke or flames, get out and call 911.

What our neighbors say

400+ Google reviews

“I had a ceiling fan installed by “Sterling”, who also took the time to set up the Bond Home app and wrote down all the instructions and temporary password for me. (He did it on his phone to be sure it worked.) I was out of town at that time (a part was missing, that the retailer had to ship, so he had to make 2 trips) but I trusted him completely after the first appointment, and Egger’s is the preferred vendor in my condo…”

What does the $89 Eggers Safety Inspection include?

A licensed electrician looks at the problem you called about and does our 8-point Eggers Safety Inspection (an in-home safety check, not a city or county permit inspection). We check your main grounding and bonding connections, and visually check the parts we can see and safely reach: the electrical panel, GFCI protection, smoke and CO alarms, visible wiring, exterior electrical, and whole-home surge protection. We spot-check outlets and switches, or check them more closely if you have had problems with them. Each of the 8 points is marked Pass or Needs Attention, with notes and any recommended improvements, plus a written price before work starts. It is not a code certification, a home inspection or a permit inspection, and it can't find every problem hidden inside walls. The $89 is credited toward your job when you go ahead.
