Real Power for Your Garage, Shop and Outbuildings

Your garage or shop should work as hard as you do. That means enough outlets, bright lights and real power for your tools without tripping breakers every time the compressor kicks on.

Simpson Electric wires garages, workshops, barns and outbuildings across Northern Colorado, from in-town garages to acreage shops in Berthoud, Johnstown and the foothills. We'll plan the power around how you actually use your space.

Signs Your Shop Needs More Power

• Breakers trip when you run more than one tool

• You're running everything off extension cords

• You need 240V for a welder, compressor or table saw

• The lighting is dim or flickers

• Your detached garage or barn has no power, or not enough

• You want to heat or cool your shop

• You're adding an EV charger in the garage

How It Works

1. Tell us how you use your space and what tools and equipment you run.

2. We plan the power so everything can run without tripping breakers.

3. Get a clear quote before any work starts.

4. We install and pull permits. Code-compliant and inspected.

5. Test and clean up.

Subpanels and 240V Circuits

A subpanel puts extra circuits right where you need them, so you're not running back to the main panel every time a breaker trips. Paired with dedicated 240V circuits sized for your tools, it means you can run a welder, a compressor and your lights at the same time.

Power to Detached Buildings

Running power to a detached garage, shop or barn takes planning. We size the feeder for what you'll run out there, plan the route and install a subpanel in the building so you have plenty of circuits. Acreage properties around Berthoud and Johnstown are some of our favorite projects.

Shop Lighting

Good light makes your shop safer and easier to work in. Modern LED shop lights are bright, efficient and turn on instantly, even on cold Colorado mornings.

Shop and Garage FAQs

Do I need a subpanel in my garage?

If you run several big tools or a heater, often yes. It gives you more circuits right where you need them.

Can you run power to a detached shop or barn?

Yes. We'll plan the route and size the wiring for what you'll run out there.

What kind of outlet does my welder need?

Most need a dedicated 240V circuit. Check the amperage on your welder and we'll match it.

Can my panel handle a shop?

We'll check. Some homes need a panel or service upgrade first.

Do you work on acreage and farm properties?

Yes. We wire shops, barns, well pumps and outbuildings on properties across Northern Colorado.

Can you install an EV charger in my garage too?

Yes, and we can plan it alongside your shop circuits.
