Basement electrical work
Below-grade spaces need GFCI protection for outlets in unfinished areas, AFCI protection in finished living areas, and smoke alarms tied to the rest of the house. We plan lighting for low ceilings, usually with slim recessed LEDs.

Basement Electrical for Melrose homes and businesses
Melrose is plains country: big sky, steady wind, and summer storms that arrive quickly. Wind-blown dust works into outdoor equipment, hail damages exterior fixtures, and lightning surges are a regular cause of failed electronics.
Electric service in Curry County is typically provided by Xcel Energy or Farmers' Electric Cooperative. For work on the service entrance or meter, we arrange the disconnect and reconnect with them so you do not have to.

Basement Electrical FAQs for Melrose
Do basement outlets need GFCI protection?
Outlets in unfinished basement areas require GFCI protection, and it is also required near sinks and in bathrooms.
Can you wire a basement before the walls are closed?
Yes, and that is the ideal time. We complete the rough-in, have it inspected, and return to install devices after drywall.
Will I need a bigger panel?
Not usually for a basement alone, but we check the load and the available breaker spaces first.
