WHY CELTIC

Why designers and builders pick Celtic Electric

We are electrical specialists: one trade, mastered. That focus shows up in the finish work your clients see every night.

We protect finished spaces

Floor protection, drop cloths and dust control go down before tools come out. Cabinets, stone and fresh paint stay the way your team left them.

We show up when we say

You get a schedule you can build around. If something changes, you hear it from us first, not from the homeowner.

We read lighting plans the way you mean them

We follow your fixture schedule, beam spreads and spacing. When a plan has a conflict, we call you before we cut a hole.

Permits and inspections, start to finish

We pull the electrical permit with whichever office covers the job, whether that's the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, Douglas County, Teller County or the State of Colorado, schedule inspections and meet the inspector on site.

LIGHTING AND CONTROLS

Lighting and controls know-how in Colorado Springs

Custom lighting is where a good remodel becomes a great one. It is also where most electricians guess. We do not.

Lutron controls

We install and program Lutron lighting controls so scenes, schedules and the app all behave the way the homeowner expects.

Keypads and scenes

Engraved keypads with clear labels. "Entertain," "Dinner" and "Goodnight" set the whole room in one press.

LED color temperature

We match color temperature across fixtures and brands, so a 2700K cove and a 2700K pendant actually look the same.

Dimming compatibility

We check every driver, fixture and dimmer pairing before trim, so lights dim smoothly without flicker or buzz.

Layered lighting

Ambient, task and accent layers on separate controls, so a kitchen can work hard at 6 pm and glow at 10.

Details that read as craft

Slat walls, lit shelves, backlit mirrors and niches placed to the inch and wired for clean, hidden drivers.

FAQ

Questions builders ask us

Something else on your mind? Call 719-659-4715 and talk to an electrician.

Who pulls the electrical permit?+

We do. Celtic pulls the electrical permit through whichever office covers the job, whether that's the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, Douglas County, Teller County or the State of Colorado, schedules the inspections and meets the inspector. You do not have to chase it.

How do you handle change orders?+

In writing, before the work. If a client adds fixtures or moves a keypad, we send a short change order for approval so nobody is surprised at the end.

How do you schedule around other trades?+

We plan rough-in and trim around your framing, HVAC, plumbing, drywall and finish schedule. Tell us your dates and we will tell you ours, then keep them.

Can you work from a designer's lighting plan?+

Yes. That is most of our design-build work. We review the plan and fixture schedule, ask questions early and build it the way it was drawn.

Do you program Lutron scenes and keypads?+

Yes. We install and program Lutron controls and fine-tune scene levels with the designer during the final walkthrough.

What insurance do you carry?+

We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. We can provide a certificate of insurance (COI) naming you on request.

What areas do you cover?+

Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region, including Broadmoor, Flying Horse, Briargate, Monument, Woodmoor, Black Forest and Woodland Park in El Paso and Teller County.
