Our Services
Federal Heights is the only city in Adams County whose electrical permits and inspections fall under the Colorado State Department of Regulatory Agencies rather than a local building department. That distinction matters practically: homeowners and contractors who assume the city or county issues permits will file applications with the wrong authority, creating delays before a single wire is touched. The single-family homes concentrated in Northborough Heights were built predominantly in the 1960s and 1970s, when 100-amp panels and ungrounded outlets were standard, and many have not received a formal electrical assessment since original construction.

Where We Serve
Federal Heights packs a notable density of housing into just 1.78 square miles, with a mix of manufactured home communities, mid-century ranch-style properties, and multi-family structures that each carry their own electrical profile. The single-family homes in Northborough Heights were built primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, and many retain original service panels and ungrounded wiring that were adequate for the loads of that era but fall short of what today’s households operate. Holiday Hills Village and surrounding manufactured home communities present distinct service requirements tied to their construction type and age. Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric serves the whole city, including the following neighborhoods:
Federal Heights’ state-administered electrical permit process, combined with a housing stock that includes some of the oldest conventional homes in Adams County’s north metro corridor, makes working with a contractor who understands both the regulatory structure and the local construction conditions a practical necessity.

FAQ
Still have a question? Call our team for help.
Yes, the company services properties throughout Federal Heights, including the conventional ranch-style homes concentrated in Northborough Heights, manufactured home communities including Holiday Hills Village, and multi-family structures. Technicians come prepared for the specific conditions each property type presents.
Neither. Federal Heights is the only municipality in Adams County explicitly excluded from the county’s local electrical permit program. All electrical permits and inspections for Federal Heights properties are administered by the Colorado State Department of Regulatory Agencies, which means contractors must apply for permits through the state rather than through any local building department.
The conventional single-family homes in Federal Heights, particularly those in Northborough Heights, were built predominantly in the 1960s and 1970s under electrical standards that allowed 100-amp panels and ungrounded branch circuits. Those systems have been absorbing incremental household additions for more than 50 years and are now commonly operating beyond the capacity they were designed to handle.
Project costs are shaped by the age and configuration of the existing system, the scope of any corrections needed to meet current electrical code standards, and the complexity of the installation. Because permits are processed through the Colorado State DORA rather than a local department, the timeline and documentation requirements follow state procedures. Precision Plumbing Heating, Cooling & Electric provides a complete per-job quote before any work begins so homeowners know the full cost in advance.
State DORA permit processing follows its own review and inspection scheduling timeline, which may differ from local building department turnaround. Working with a contractor already familiar with that process, including how to submit applications correctly and schedule state inspections, is the most effective way to keep a project on schedule.
Yes. Because electrical permits for Federal Heights are administered by the Colorado State DORA and not the city or Adams County, the permit application for a residential EV charging circuit must be submitted through the state’s process. A licensed electrical contractor must perform the installation, and the completed work must pass a state inspection before the permit is closed.
