Our Services

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Old panels in Admiral-area homes often can't handle modern loads. We upgrade to 200-amp service and add circuits for new appliances, EV chargers, or heating systems. Seattle code requires licensed work—we handle permits and inspections.

Why Local Expertise Matters

Seattle Building Codes

Seattle updates codes every 3 years. We stay current on NEC, grounding rules, and EV charger requirements so inspectors approve projects first time.

Older Homes & Historic Wiring

Many West Seattle bungalows still have cloth-wrapped wiring or outdated knob-and-tube systems. We know how to upgrade safely without damaging your walls.

EV Ready Homes

West Seattle is seeing fast EV adoption. We design charging systems that leave room for a second vehicle or future upgrades.

Hillside & Terrain Challenges

Steep grades in Delridge and Beacon Hill mean longer runs and tricky conduit routing. We account for slope and drainage during install.

From The Junction's bustling shopping district to quiet Fauntleroy waterfront homes, we understand West Seattle's unique mix of neighborhoods and what each needs.

Featured Insight: EV Charging in West Seattle

What's the fastest way to charge an EV at home in West Seattle?

A Level 2 charger (240-volt) delivers a full charge in 4–8 hours, versus 12–24 hours with a standard 120-volt outlet. Most West Seattle homeowners choose Level 2 for daily convenience. Installation requires a dedicated circuit, panel assessment, permit approval, and final inspection by Seattle inspectors. Our team handles all steps so you're ready within days, not weeks.

Level 1: 120-volt standard outlet—slowest, best for occasional charging
Level 2: 240-volt dedicated circuit—standard for home use, 4–8 hour full charge
DC Fast: Public curbside chargers near Alaska Junction and Westwood Village offer fast top-ups

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit for EV charger installation in West Seattle?

Yes. Seattle requires a permit and final inspection for any EV charger install. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with city inspectors so there are no delays.

Can my old panel handle a Level 2 charger?

Maybe. A 100-amp panel often needs upgrading. We assess your home and recommend whether a new panel or circuit-sharing device fits your needs and budget.

How long does EV charger installation take?

Straightforward installs take 1–2 days. Panel upgrades may add a week for permitting and inspection. We provide a timeline upfront.

What if my breaker box is already full?

We either add a sub-panel, use a load-sharing device, or upgrade your main panel. We'll review all options and recommend the best fit for your home and budget.

Do you service homes in Fauntleroy, Admiral, and Delridge?

Yes. We serve all of West Seattle, from Alki and Lincoln Park south through High Point and Beacon Hill neighborhoods.

Can you handle 240-volt hot tub or sauna wiring?

Absolutely. We install dedicated circuits and ensure proper grounding, bonding, and GFCI protection for any 240-volt appliance or spa.
