What Dillon owners ask for
EV chargers, hot tubs and surge protection in Dillon
Most calls from Dillon are about three jobs: a home EV charger, wiring for a hot tub and surge protection for the panel. All three need a dedicated circuit or panel work, so all three need a licensed electrician.
An EV charger and a hot tub can each draw a large share of a home's power. The electrician checks panel capacity before adding either one, because many condos and older cabins have small panels.

Before work starts
How to check a Dillon electrician's Colorado license
Colorado licenses electricians through the State Electrical Board, part of the Division of Professions and Occupations at the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA).
Each individual electrician holds a license, and electrical contracting businesses register with the Board. Check both when a company sends a crew.
- 1. Ask for the license numberGet the electrician's number and the company's registration.
- 2. Use DORA "Verify a License"Search by name or number and confirm the status is active.
- 3. Match the permitThe name on the County permit should match the contractor doing the job.
Mountain conditions
Winter at 9,111 feet: cold, snow and outages
Dillon sits at 9,111 feet on the shore of Dillon Reservoir. Winters are long and cold, and snow stays on the ground for months.
Cold changes electrical priorities. A tripped GFCI on a hot tub can let the water freeze. Heat tape, garage heaters and EV chargers all add winter load to the same panel.
Outages happen here too. On February 8, 2019, Xcel Energy ordered rolling electric outages across Summit County after it lost gas pressure on a major line.
Before the snow season
- Test GFCI breakers on hot tubs and outdoor outlets.
- Check that outdoor boxes and covers seal against snowmelt.
- Add a surge protective device at the panel for power restarts.
- Connect any generator through a transfer switch or approved interlock, never a wall outlet.
- Mark buried low-voltage lighting cable before snow piles and plows arrive.
Cost factors
What changes the cost of electrical work in Dillon
The electrician sets the price and gives it to you in writing. We do not set or collect prices.
These factors move the price of most Dillon jobs:
- Panel capacityA small panel needs a load calculation, and sometimes an upgrade, before a charger or spa.
- Condo or houseShared parking, HOA approval and long wire runs add time in condo buildings.
- Two permitsThe Town permit and the County electrical permit both come before the work.
- Season and accessFrozen ground, snow and travel on mountain roads affect outdoor work.
