Is Your Property Still in Henderson, or in a City?
This is the first question we ask Henderson customers, and it matters more than most people expect. Henderson is an unincorporated community in Adams County with a post office dating to 1894 and the 80640 ZIP code, but over the years Commerce City, Brighton and Thornton have each annexed parts of the surrounding area. Two neighbors with the same mailing address can fall under different building departments.
For parcels that remain unincorporated, electrical permits run through Adams County Community and Economic Development and its E-Permit Center, and every contractor must register with the county before pulling one. If your property has been annexed, the city's building department takes over. We check the jurisdiction first, then file with the correct office, so inspections aren't delayed by a misfiled application.
Old Henderson Next to New Logistics
Along Brighton Road north of 120th Avenue, a handful of older buildings and the century-old Henderson Congregation Church still mark the original community. The Adams County Regional Park and Fairgrounds sits on the former Henderson Island site. Around them, the landscape has changed: cold-storage and distribution operators, including a Lineage Logistics facility, now share the area with acreage homes and small industrial lots.
That mix shapes the work we do here:
- Acreage homes: service upgrades, detached garage and shop circuits, well-pump wiring, standby generators
- Industrial and flex buildings: three-phase power, motor and equipment circuits, high-bay LED lighting
- Warehouses: infrared panel scanning, facility maintenance contracts, CCTV and access control for yards and docks
Confirming Your Utility Before an Upgrade
Electric service in this part of Adams County can come from either United Power or Xcel Energy, depending on location. Before quoting a service change or a new meter, we confirm which utility serves your parcel so the disconnect, inspection and reconnect move smoothly.
We also serve neighboring Brighton, Commerce City and Thornton.
