John was very efficient and courteous. He made the job look very simple. He charged a very reasonable price for the work, in fact, I would have paid more.

-Panel Replacement · Montrose
★★★★★
Canyon Creek just replaced a 1973 Federal Pacific electric panel in our home due to an upgrade of a new larger furnace and an A/C unit. John did an awesome job and his price was reasonable compared to the other bids. He also modernized our garage with proper electrical outlets. We are extremely satisfied with all work that was performed and look forward to have them do more upgrades. Honest, reliable and professional.

📍Run by John Morris Montrose, Colorado Since 2007

The Morris family wired the Western Slope.

Canyon Creek Electric is the Morris family business. John has been in the trade for twenty-five years, founded the company in Montrose in 2007, and still answers his own phone. Jamie runs the office. The crew you meet on the job is the same crew on every job.

John Morris started Canyon Creek Electric in Montrose in 2007. He had been in the trade for fifteen years before he founded the company, and the work hasn't stopped since: twenty-five years on residential builds, panel upgrades, commercial finish-outs, and 24-hour callouts across the Western Slope. He still picks up the phone himself most days.

Jamie runs the office and is usually the first person you'll talk to about scheduling a job. The crew is small enough that you'll see the same faces on every visit. John reads every Google review the company gets, and signs the responses himself - if you've left one, the reply you got was from him, not a marketing team.

📍Straight AnswersNine Common Questions

What everyone asks before they call.

Before you pick up the phone, here are the answers to the questions Canyon Creek Electric gets most weeks. If you have a tenth one, just call - the office picks up.

01 Do you offer 24-hour emergency service?

Yes. Canyon Creek Electric offers 24-hour emergency electrical service for both residential and commercial customers across the Western Slope. Call (970) 275-2105 any time.

02 What areas of Western Colorado do you serve?

Headquartered in Montrose. Regular routes to Grand Junction, Telluride, Ouray, Delta, Ridgway, Olathe, Cedaredge, Eckert, Cimarron, Paonia, Fruita, Norwood, Gunnison, and Crested Butte. Outside that list, just call - we probably still serve you.

03 Do you replace older Federal Pacific panels?

Yes. Federal Pacific panels from the 1970s are common in older Western Slope homes and are a known fire risk. Canyon Creek Electric replaces them with modern, code-compliant panels. Many jobs finish in a single day where the existing wiring allows.

04 Do you handle Ring doorbells and smart-lighting installs?

Yes - it's one of the team's signature specialties. Doorbells, motion lights, hardwired smart switches, and full-home Ring rollouts. Customers regularly call Canyon Creek "one of a kind in this area for Ring installations."

05 Do you do new-construction wiring?

Yes. Full electrical for new homes and commercial new-builds across the Western Slope. Coordination with general contractors, builders, and inspectors.

06 Do you serve commercial as well as residential?

Yes. Commercial design-build, tenant finish-outs, panel replacements, lighting retrofits, OSHA-compliance corrections, and 24-hour emergency service. Two and a half decades of commercial experience.

07 How quickly can you come out?

Response times vary by season and the type of work. Call the office at (970) 275-2105 - Jamie can usually give you a same-day window for residential service calls and a clear schedule for larger jobs.

08 Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Canyon Creek Electric is fully insured for residential and commercial work. Colorado EC licence number on request when scheduling.

09 What does a typical panel replacement look like?

Most single-family panel replacements (Federal Pacific or otherwise) finish in one working day where existing wiring is sound. Larger upgrades that involve sub-panels, service-entry replacement, or significant re-wiring run two or three days. Permit included.
