WHO WE ARE
Recreational Electrical is Colorado's premier emergency vehicle upfitter — built by people who understand what's at stake.
Built By Someone Who Knew Why It Mattered.
Founded in 2007 by CEO Patrick Jiles, Recreational Electrical began as a mobile service dedicated to diagnosing and repairing electrical issues in recreational vehicles. Over time, the company evolved to meet the growing needs of public safety and government agencies — expanding into the design, fabrication, installation, and service of specialized vehicle equipment for law enforcement, fire, EMS, public works, and government fleet customers.
Before founding Recreational Electrical, Patrick served as a volunteer firefighter and EMT — experiences that helped shape the values and mission of the company to this day.
WHAT WE BUILD:
Our Team Knows This World From the Inside.
Today, many members of our team have close ties to law enforcement, fire service, EMS, healthcare, and public safety — through their own experience or through family and friends who serve their communities every day. Those connections give us more than an appreciation for the work our customers do. They help us understand what's at stake.
BACKGROUNDS ACROSS OUR TEAM:
BECAUSE PEOPLE DEPEND ON IT.
Whether we're building a wiring harness, fabricating a custom component, installing vehicle graphics, or completing a full emergency vehicle upfit — we approach every project with the understanding that reliability, quality, and attention to detail make a real difference in the field.
WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE:
When lives are on the line, equipment must perform as intended, and seconds matter. We build with that reality in mind every time.
Quality is a Responsibility.
Recreational Electrical was built on a simple belief: the people serving their communities deserve equipment they can trust. From police officers and firefighters to paramedics, public works crews, and wildlife officers, we take pride in supporting the professionals who depend on their vehicles every day.
Every build is approached as if the officer, firefighter, or paramedic using it is someone we know personally.
We refuse to cut corners. Every harness, weld, and component is built to perform in the field — not just pass inspection.
Many of us have family and friends in the field. This work is not abstract to us. It never has been.
Your Fleet Deserves the Best.
