How We Work

Our process is straightforward and transparent. We start with assessment, move through planning, execute the work, and finish with inspections.

1

Inspect & Assess

We visit your home or commercial space, review the electrical system, and identify what's needed—whether it's safety concerns, capacity limits, or code updates in South Seattle or First Hill.

2

Plan & Permit

We submit all required permits to Seattle SDCI, handle plan reviews, and explain the timeline so you know exactly what to expect.

3

Execute Safely

Licensed electricians run conduit, pull wire, install breakers, and complete all work to code. We minimize disruption to your routine.

4

Test & Inspect

We schedule city inspections, verify all connections, and ensure your system passes every checkpoint before final sign-off.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Our Services

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Older homes in neighborhoods like Green Lake and Queen Anne often run on 100-amp panels that can't support modern appliances, EVs, or air conditioning. We upgrade to 200 amps or higher, adding circuits and capacity safely.

  • Assess current load and future needs
  • Replace main panel with new breaker box
  • Handle all permit and inspection scheduling

Electrical Rewiring & Home Rewires

Rewiring project

Knob-and-tube removal in Fremont historic home; modern safety in place.

  • Test continuity and ground before final inspection

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Seattle?

Yes, most electrical work requires a permit. Seattle allows minor replacements (up to 5 fixtures or outlets) without a permit, but panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers, and circuits always need permits and inspections.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

A typical panel upgrade takes 1–2 days of labor. Permitting and inspections add 1–3 weeks depending on SDCI review queue. Our team handles scheduling and expediting when possible.

What's involved in EV charger installation?

We assess your electrical panel, run a dedicated 208/240V circuit with proper breaker and conduit, mount the charger, and coordinate SDCI inspection. Most homes take 2–4 hours to install once permits are approved.

Does my old home need full rewiring?

Not always. We inspect first and recommend replacement only if knob-and-tube, aluminum wire, or other hazards are found. Many homes can be updated selectively without complete rewiring.

Can I schedule an electrician the same day?

For emergencies (tripped breaker, no power, burning smell), we respond quickly. Routine inspections and estimates typically schedule within 3–5 business days.
