How to hire in Colorado Springs

Check the license is active, look at permit history for jobs like yours, read the BBB and HomeProFax review components in the score breakdown, and use the outbound Google/BBB links on each profile to cross-check external reviews (we link out — we do not store Angi, Yelp or Google ratings).

By the numbers

Counts are HomeProFax profiles with a Colorado Springs address, from the DORA license roster (refreshed Oct 21, 2026). Colorado Springs permits are not in our data yet, so permit counts are not shown here.

How electrical licensing works in Colorado Springs

Two agencies are involved. The DORA State Electrical Board licenses electricians as individuals (master, journeyman and residential wireman) and registers electrical contractors. In the Pikes Peak region, electrical contractors also hold a contractor license with the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD), which issues the permits and does the inspections.

So a properly set-up Colorado Springs electrical company has both: a state record for its people and a PPRBD record for the business. Our profiles show the state side today. PPRBD contractor records are next on our list.

Colorado Springs has a lot of long-licensed electricians: 763 of the active licensees were first licensed in 2016 or earlier. It also has nearly as many expired licenses as active ones, which is why the active ones are listed first.

What to ask for before you hire

You don't need to spend an evening on government lookup screens. Ask the electrician you're considering for their HomeProFax report. It puts the license record, any board discipline flag, permits on file and outside links on one page, with sources. A contractor with a clean record can share it in a minute. If one won't, that tells you something too.

Search any business name free on HomeProFax.com if they haven't shared it yet.

Common Colorado Springs electrical jobs that need care

• Solar and battery installs: confirm who is the licensed electrical contractor, since sales companies often subcontract the work.
• Panel upgrades and EV chargers: these usually need a PPRBD permit and an inspection.
• Basement finishes: the electrical part should be done by a licensed electrician under its own permit, not folded into a handyman job.
