A Seattle Electrical Team Close to Home
Our office is at 430 S 96th St in Seattle, so you are working with a local team, not a company driving in from across the region. That keeps travel short and scheduling simpler, whether you need a repair this week or a panel upgrade planned around a remodel. The same company also handles heating, cooling, solar and backup power, which helps when an electrical job is tied to new equipment. One team can size the circuit, install the equipment, and make sure everything works together, so you are not coordinating two or three contractors.
Panel Replacement and Upgrades Sized for How You Live Now
Many homes in the city are running more than their panels were built for: heat pumps, induction ranges, hot tubs, home offices and EV chargers all add load. Warning signs include breakers that trip often, a panel that feels warm, buzzing, or a panel with no room for new circuits.
We start with a load calculation to see what your home actually needs, then recommend a repair, a panel replacement, or a service upgrade. If your project needs a larger service from the utility, Seattle City Light requires an electric service application from the electrician or contractor before it will reconnect, and its crew can only do its part after the city’s service inspection passes. We submit the City Light service application for you and walk you through the timing. Read more about our panel replacement and upgrades.
Safer Wiring and Rewiring for Older Seattle Homes
Seattle has a large stock of older houses, from Craftsman bungalows in Ballard and Wallingford to mid-century homes in West Seattle and Lake City. Older wiring was not designed for today’s appliances and electronics, and past do-it-yourself work is common. Outlets without grounding, aluminum branch wiring, warm switch plates, and circuits that are overloaded are all reasons to have the wiring checked.
We trace the problem, explain what is safe to keep and what should be replaced, and plan any wiring and rewiring to limit wall openings and disruption to your home. If you are remodeling, we can update the circuits in that area while the walls are open.
Lighting, Switches and Outlets That Work the Way You Want
Small upgrades make a home easier to live in. We install recessed and under-cabinet lighting, outdoor and security lighting, dimmers, smart switches, GFCI and AFCI protection, and added outlets where you actually need them. We work with brands named on our site, including Lutron and Siemens. See our work on lighting and switches, outlets and dimmers.
Electrical Safety Inspections Before You Buy, Sell or Renovate
An inspection gives you a clear picture of your system before you spend money on it. We check the panel, breakers, grounding, visible wiring, outlets and protection devices, then walk you through what we found in plain language. Each item is marked as urgent, recommended, or fine as is, so you can plan repairs on your own timeline. This is a useful step before buying an older home, adding a major appliance, or starting a remodel. Read more about our electrical safety inspections.
Generators and Solar From the Same Team
Because we are also a solar and backup power installer, your electrical work and your energy projects stay with one company. We install backup generators, including Generac systems, with the transfer equipment that connects them safely to your panel. For homeowners going solar, we install solar panels and battery storage and make the panel and wiring changes the system needs. We also install residential EV chargers, starting with a check that your panel can support the new circuit.

Neighborhoods We Serve Across Seattle
We work in homes throughout the city, from Ballard, Fremont and Greenwood in the north end to Capitol Hill, Queen Anne and the Central District, and south through Beacon Hill, Georgetown, Columbia City and West Seattle. Because our office is in south Seattle, neighborhoods on the south end and in West Seattle are especially quick to reach. Outside the city limits, we also serve nearby communities as a Bellevue electrician, a Renton electrician and a Kent electrician. For heating, cooling and solar in the city, see our Seattle home services.

Seattle Electrician FAQs
Usually, yes. The City of Seattle requires an electrical permit any time wiring is installed, altered, extended, or connected to electrical equipment. Permits are issued by SDCI, and a professional applying for one must hold a Washington State electrical contractor license. Most permitted jobs need cover, service and final inspections. We’ll tell you up front whether your project needs one, and we pull the permit for you.
Common signs are breakers that trip often, flickering or dimming lights, a warm or buzzing panel, and no open spaces for new circuits. Planning a heat pump, EV charger, induction range or addition is another reason to check. A load calculation tells us whether your current panel can carry the new load or whether an upgrade makes more sense.
If your project changes the electric service coming into your home, yes. Seattle City Light requires an electric service application with load calculations, and its crew connects the new service only after the city’s service inspection passes. We prepare and submit the application for you and explain the timing for your project.
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service. If you smell burning, see sparks, or have a panel that is hot to the touch, turn off the main breaker if it is safe to do so and call us at (425) 419-4676. Our regular office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Yes, we install residential EV chargers. We first check whether your panel has the capacity for a dedicated circuit, then install the charger. If your panel is near its limit, we explain your options, including a panel upgrade.
