Led by Colorado Master Electrician Matt Brodhagen — state license ME.3002292. Family-owned since 2010 · 15+ years powering homes and businesses across Colorado Springs, Fountain, Monument, Security-Widefield, and Manitou Springs · Same-day service · "Best prices in town" — our customers' words · Free written estimates · Backed by our Peak-to-Plains Workmanship Guarantee.
Not a helper, not an apprentice, not a "trained technician." Every job is performed or directly supervised by a state-licensed Master Electrician — the highest electrical credential Colorado issues.
Matt holds a Colorado Master Electrician license — the top electrical credential issued by the Colorado State Electrical Board (Department of Regulatory Agencies / DORA). It's the tier that separates the people who design and sign off on electrical systems from the people who merely install under supervision.
Getting a Master license in Colorado isn't quick. The state requires: Journeyman licensure for a minimum of one year (after completing 8,000 hours / four years of on-the-job training), plus completed classroom instruction, plus passing a rigorous state-administered Master exam. Matt earned his Journeyman license (JW.3004672) first, worked the trade, and then qualified for Master (ME.3002292).
Every BB Electric job is performed or directly supervised by Matt — not subcontracted out, not handed off to an unlicensed helper. That's why our workmanship passes inspection every time.

Most electrical problems whisper before they shout. Here's when a Colorado Springs homeowner should stop DIY and pick up the phone.
Outlets, switches, or electrical panels that feel warm or smell like burning plastic are a fire risk — shut off the breaker and call us immediately. Loose connections, overloaded circuits, and failing aluminum-wire splices are all causes we diagnose and fix daily.
Lights that flicker when the fridge or AC kicks on, or dim throughout the house, indicate a loose neutral, overloaded panel, or utility-side problem. Intermittent flickering can precede a real fault — we use thermal imaging to find it before it fails catastrophically.
An occasional trip is the breaker doing its job. Repeated tripping on the same circuit means overload, short circuit, ground fault, or a worn-out breaker. We identify which one with a meter — not guesswork — and fix the real cause.
These three brands are documented fire hazards — breakers that fail to trip during short circuits. Insurance companies are increasingly refusing to renew policies on homes with these panels. If you have one, call us today.
Ungrounded outlets and missing GFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoors are both a safety issue and a code violation. They'll get flagged in a home inspection. We bring them up to current NEC code.
Many Colorado Springs homes still have original 1950s–1980s wiring that wasn't designed for modern loads. Heat pumps, EV chargers, induction ranges, and home offices stress 50-year-old panels hard. If you're planning any of these, call us for a load calculation first.
Full-service residential and commercial electrical work — from a single outlet replacement to a whole-home rewire or new solar install. Every job is done by licensed electricians and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Safe, permitted 100A-to-200A panel upgrades. Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and Challenger panel replacements. Sub-panels for garages, shops, and additions. Breaker replacements handled the same day.
Level 2 home charger installs for Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Ford Connected Charge Station, and all UL-listed EV chargers. Load calc, dedicated 240V circuit, permit, and inspection handled.
Rooftop solar PV systems designed for Colorado Springs' 243 sunny days per year. Battery backup options (Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ, FranklinWH). Full design, permitting, and utility interconnection.
Knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum-to-copper conversions, new circuits for additions, kitchens, and basements. Minimal drywall damage using existing paths wherever possible.
Recessed can lighting (new construction and retrofit), chandeliers, under-cabinet LED, outdoor security floods, landscape lighting, and smart lighting with Lutron Caseta or Philips Hue.
Diagnosing flickering lights, tripping breakers, dead outlets, and burning smells. Thermal imaging and ground-fault tracing find the real cause — no guesswork, no throwing parts at the problem.
Whole-home standby generators — Generac Guardian, Kohler Residential, Briggs & Stratton. Automatic transfer switch, gas hookup, pad, and commissioning all handled turnkey.
Tenant improvements, three-phase installations, lighting retrofits, data and low-voltage cabling, emergency/exit lighting, and facility maintenance agreements for retail, office, and light industrial.

"Matt from BB Electric has done many ceiling fan and smoke alarm installations in our home. He pays attention to detail, is very knowledgeable, he cleans up any mess, his work is 100% perfect, and he will go above and beyond to get your electrical job done! His prices are by far the best in town! Give him a try — you'll be so glad you did. I highly recommend him!"— Chris G. · Sep 2025 · Angi
"Had a great experience with BB Electric. The guys ran Cat6 ethernet lines through my house, did clean work, and charged a fair price. They also fixed a couple of small issues with existing wiring at no extra cost, which I really appreciated. They took the time to explain some hardware options I hadn't used before (MOCA adapters) and helped me understand how to get better performance based on how my house is set up. Professional, helpful, and easy to work with — highly recommend."— Nathan D. · Jan 2026 · Thumbtack
"Doug and team were hired to install a wall charger, fix two switches and figure out why my outdoor garage lights weren't working.
