We all see it: windstorms knocking out lines, transformers blowing during summer heatwaves, the occasional rolling blackout when demand spikes. Around Longmont and across the Front Range, outages aren’t rare; they’re just part of the deal.
And when they hit, they don’t come with a warning.
That’s why, at Three Crowns Electric, we don’t wait around for the lights to go out. We build systems that keep your home running, panels that can handle your load, and generators that fire up when the grid taps out. It’s not about overbuilding. It’s about smart, solid solutions that hold up when it counts.
Whether it’s full electrical panel installation in Longmont or maintaining a generator you’ve had for years, we’re the ones you call when you want it done right.
Your Generator Should Do More Than Just Sit There
Home generators are only useful if they actually work when you need them. And unfortunately, we’ve seen too many that don’t.
The oil’s old. The fuel line’s clogged. The battery’s dead. You don’t know any of this until the power’s out and nothing turns on.
We install generators that match your home’s real power usage. No guesswork, no fluff. If you want just the essentials backed up, fridge, heat, and lighting, we’ll size and wire it for that. If you want full coverage, we’ll build for that too. But either way, what makes it reliable isn’t just the installation. It’s the upkeep.
That’s why our residential generator maintenance service exists, to keep your system sharp, season after season.
Maintenance Isn’t Optional; It’s the Difference Between “On” and “Uh-oh.”
We take care of the stuff that gets ignored until it’s a problem. Things like:
- Checking voltage output
- Testing automatic transfer switches
- Replacing worn spark plugs
- Inspecting fuel systems for gumming or leaks
Because backup power doesn’t mean much if the backup doesn’t respond. Our maintenance plans are tight, thorough, and scheduled, so you don’t have to think about it. We think about it for you.
Panels Are the First Thing We Look At, Not the Last
There’s no point in adding backup power to a system that can’t handle it. And frankly, too many homes around Longmont are still running on panels that weren’t built for today’s energy needs, let alone a generator hookup.
Old 100-amp panels, stacked tandem breakers, burnt bus bars… we’ve seen it all. And it’s not just inefficient. It’s dangerous.
When we come out for an electrical panel installation in Longmont, we’re not just replacing a box. We’re mapping the system, calculating load, cleaning up old wiring, and making sure your new panel is built to handle the real-world demands of your home. Safely.
We pull permits. We meet code. We install like we’re working on our own house, because, honestly, that’s the only way this kind of work should be done.
Panels and Generators Go Hand in Hand
There’s a reason we talk about them together. A generator without a panel that can interface with it? Useless. A shiny new panel with no backup plan? Still vulnerable.
It’s all connected. That’s the whole point.
We wire panels that are generator-ready from the start, or retrofit older systems to accept a safe, seamless backup integration. Either way, your system won’t just work; it’ll work intelligently, and it’ll be ready when the utility isn’t.
Final Word: Invest Before the Outage, Not After
You don’t need to wait for a week-long power loss to realize you should’ve planned ahead. Whether it’s time for a panel that isn’t overloaded or you’ve got a generator that hasn’t been looked at in years, now’s the time.
At Three Crowns Electric, we do this work every week, tight, clean electrical panel installation in Longmont, and no-nonsense residential generator maintenance that actually keeps systems alive.
No fluff. No half-measures. Just work that holds up when things go down.
Call us when you’re ready to stop guessing and start powering your home the right way.
