Serving Fort Collins, CO
Fort Collins runs its own municipal utility, Fort Collins Utilities, with strong clean-energy programs, and Charge Home Solutions installs Tesla Wall Connectors, Powerwall, and licensed electrical work across the city and Larimer County. Cold Front Range winters make a well-sized panel and backup power worth planning for.
We pull the city or county permit and run a load calculation before quoting, older Old Town and University-area homes often need a 200-amp upgrade before a Level 2 charger, while newer builds usually have room. We factor in Fort Collins Utilities programs where they apply.
