Why Manitou Springs, CO Homeowners Choose Wire Wizards Electric

Manitou Springs is a unique town to wire. The downtown historic district has homes from the 1880s with knob-and-tube wiring still in service, 1920s bungalows with two-wire ungrounded outlets, and 1970s additions tacked onto older structures with no consistent grounding. From Crystal Park and Cog Heights to properties up Ruxton Avenue and along Manitou Avenue, every electrical job tells a different story.

Wire Wizards Electric is the electrician Manitou Springs homeowners call when the work needs to be done right the first time. We respect the historic character of the homes we work on, especially the pre-1940 knob-and-tube housing stock found throughout the area near Soda Springs Park, the Manitou Incline, and the Cog Railway. That means minimizing drywall damage, fishing wire instead of opening up walls when possible, and matching new fixtures to the period of the home when asked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Knob-and-tube is still present in many historic Manitou Springs homes built before 1940. We assess every K&T system on a circuit-by-circuit basis. If the existing K&T is intact and not buried in insulation, partial replacement is sometimes acceptable. In most cases, however, we recommend full replacement to clear insurance requirements and reduce fire risk. We document everything for the homeowner’s records and insurance file.

In most cases, yes. We routinely remove, re-wire, and reinstall original Victorian sconces, Mission-era pendants, and 1920s bathroom lighting during Manitou Springs rewires. The original fixture stays — only the wiring inside the wall changes. For fixtures that are unsafe due to deteriorated insulation, we offer to source period-appropriate replacements from suppliers who specialize in restoration lighting.

Plaster walls in Manitou Springs homes are thicker and more brittle than modern drywall, so we use techniques specifically suited to plaster. We fish wires through walls using existing chases, work through closets and behind cabinets when possible, and make small access holes only where necessary. When patching is unavoidable, we coordinate with a plaster restoration specialist rather than using drywall patch compounds.

Yes. Electrical permits go through Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, which has jurisdiction over Manitou Springs. For exterior changes — new service masts, exterior lighting changes visible from the street, or new EV charger conduit on the front of a building — we also coordinate with the Manitou Springs Historic Preservation Commission. We handle all paperwork and inspection scheduling on your behalf.
