What we do

From service panels
to porch lights.

Seven core services covering the working systems of a mountain home or commercial space — from rough-in on a new build to that one breaker that keeps tripping.

01 / Residential

Wiring & rewires

Most Ouray-area homes have a story in their walls — knob-and-tube from the mine days, 60s aluminum, additions wired by three different guys. We sort it out cleanly.

02 / New construction

Rough-in & trim-out

Working with your GC and architect on new homes, ADUs, garages, and shops. We schedule rough-in around framing, plumbing, and HVAC so everyone keeps moving.

Details →
03 / Service work

Panel upgrades & service changes

If your panel buzzes, sparks, or still has a fuse box — it's time. We swap to modern 200A panels with proper grounding, surge protection, and labels you can read.

Details →
04 / Lighting

Lighting design & install

Lighting isn't an afterthought. We walk the space with you, lay out a plan in three layers — ambient, task, accent — and install it clean enough that you forget how dark it used to be.

Details →
05 / Outdoor

Outdoor & landscape lighting

Path lights that survive the snow plow. Low-voltage trees that don't fail on the first hard freeze. Deck circuits sized for the hot tub you'll add later. Built for our winters, not California's.

Details →
06 / Commercial

Commercial & light industrial

Restaurants, retail, lodging, well houses, shop spaces. We handle the electrical side of running a small Ouray business — from grand opening to that 10pm panel trip.

Details →
07 / Anytime

Troubleshooting & repair

The mystery breaker. The humming outlet. The kitchen lights that dim when the fridge kicks on. We diagnose what's actually wrong — not what's most expensive to replace — and tell you what we found.

Details →
Who's behind the truck

A licensed electrician who actually answers the phone.

Justin Hirt runs Ouray Electric Co. himself. That means when you call, you talk to the guy doing the work. When you get a quote, it's the one you pay. When something needs to come back, he comes back.

Born of the San Juans and built for them — every job leaves the panel labeled, the wire stapled, and the trash hauled.

From the neighbors

A small town remembers good work.

★★★★★

Justin rewired our 1898 miner's cabin without tearing it apart. Found knob-and-tube I didn't even know was still hot. Walked us through every decision and his bid is what we paid.

Sara & Mike L.
Ouray — full rewire
★★★★★

Called on a Tuesday with a panel that was buzzing. He was out by Thursday, had it swapped to 200A on Saturday, and the kitchen renovation didn't lose a day. Solid guy.

Dan R.
Ridgway — service upgrade
★★★★★

We've used Justin on three remodels now. Shows up when he says, prices what he quotes, and the work passes inspection clean every time. The bar for our subs.
