Our Services

From kitchen and bathroom upgrades to full home rewiring, we handle the electrical backbone of your renovation.

Panel Upgrades & Service Expansion

Many Seattle homes—especially older ones in Ballard, Queen Anne, and Capitol Hill—run on 100-amp service panels. Modern appliances, EV chargers, and heat pumps demand more power. We assess your current panel and upgrade to 200-amp service when needed.

Panel upgrades include installing surge protection, arc-fault breakers, and ground-fault outlets per 2025 Seattle code. Your home becomes safer and ready for future additions.

Seattle's 2025 code now requires surge protection on all new or replaced service panels. We handle the upgrade and permits.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodeling Electrical

Kitchen remodels need dedicated circuits for cooktops, ovens, dishwashers, and islands. Bathrooms require GFCI protection on all wet-area outlets, ventilation fan wiring, and modern lighting circuits.

We relocate outlets for new layouts, add under-cabinet lighting, install heated floor mats, and meet Seattle code for ground-fault interrupters in all kitchens and bathrooms. Your remodel stays safe and functional.

Full Home Rewiring

Homes with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, or circuits dating to the 1970s pose fire hazards. Seattle electricians recommend full rewiring for homes over 30 years old, especially in Fremont, Beacon Hill, and Phinney Ridge neighborhoods.

We pull new copper wiring, upgrade the main panel, add proper grounding, and pass final inspection. Modern wiring supports appliances, reduces energy waste, and prevents fires.

New Outlets & Circuit Installation

Need more outlets for your workspace, home office, or entertainment area? We add circuits, outlets, and USB-charging stations where you need them most.

Surface-mounted or in-wall wiring—we match your home's finish and Seattle code requirements. Every circuit is labeled and tested.

EV Charger & Smart Home Installation

EV charging requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and often a panel upgrade. Smart home systems—lighting, thermostats, security—need reliable power and proper placement for optimal signal.

We design charging layouts for your driveway or garage, run dedicated circuits, and coordinate with your smart home provider. Charging speeds up, systems work seamlessly.

Why It Matters

Electrical safety isn't just about convenience—it's about protecting your family and home value.

Code Compliance & Permits

Seattle adopted the 2023 National Electrical Code with local amendments in 2025, including expanded ground-fault and arc-fault protection requirements that now cover bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and bedrooms. We handle all permitting, inspection coordination, and final sign-off with the City of Seattle.

Unpermitted electrical work can void insurance, block home sales, and create safety risks. We ensure your project passes inspection the first time.

Safety First—Fire & Shock Prevention

Homes with knob or tube wiring can overheat, sparking electrical fires inside walls. Modern GFCI and AFCI protection reduces shock and fire hazards, while whole-house surge protection safeguards electronics.

New wiring, updated panels, and proper grounding eliminate hidden risks. Your family sleeps safer.

Supports Your Remodel—Not a Bottleneck

Electrical work that arrives late or doesn't fit your design slows everything down. We coordinate timing, listen to your layout ideas, and adapt to your contractor's schedule.

Your kitchen goes live on time. Your bathroom shines without delays. That's professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about electrical remodeling in Seattle.

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Seattle?

Yes. Most electrical work—panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring—requires a Seattle permit. We handle applications, inspections, and final sign-off.

How long does an electrical remodel take?

A kitchen or bathroom remodel electrical scope typically takes 3–7 days. Full home rewiring can take 1–3 weeks depending on home size and scope.

What's the difference between GFCI and AFCI outlets?

GFCI outlets protect against electrical shock in wet areas (kitchens, bathrooms). AFCI outlets prevent fires by detecting arc faults in circuits. Both are required by Seattle code.

Do older Seattle homes need panel upgrades?

Homes built before 2000 often have 100-amp panels. Modern appliances, heat pumps, and EV chargers need 200 amps. We assess your needs and recommend upgrades if required.

Can you coordinate with my contractor or builder?

Absolutely. We work alongside general contractors, framers, and inspectors. We coordinate timing, answer code questions, and keep your project on schedule.

Why do I need whole-house surge protection?

Seattle's 2025 code requires it on new panels. Surge protection shields computers, TVs, and smart devices from power spikes—especially common in Seattle during storm season.
