Licensed, bonded & insured in WashingtonMon–Fri 8am–6pm · 24/7 emergencies
Our electricians serve homeowners throughout King and Snohomish counties, from older Seattle bungalows to newer builds in Sammamish and Bothell. Services include panel upgrades, breaker replacement, whole-home rewiring, lighting installation, EV charger setup, and troubleshooting for flickering lights or tripped breakers. Most calls address safety issues—outdated fuse boxes, aluminum wiring, or overloaded circuits—that show up as homes age or when families add electric vehicles, hot tubs, or home additions that push existing systems past capacity.

How a electrician visit works
1
Phone diagnosis
We ask about the symptoms and your home's age to figure out whether this is a quick fix or a larger wiring issue before we ever get in the truck.
2
On-site inspection
An electrician tests circuits, checks the panel, and traces the problem to its source rather than just replacing the part that failed.
3
Written estimate
You get a clear price before work starts, including any permit costs required by your city or Washington L&I.
4
Repair or installation
We complete the work the same visit when possible, using materials rated for Pacific Northwest humidity and older home wiring standards.
5
Test and walkthrough
We test every circuit we touched, confirm the panel labels are accurate, and walk you through what was done and why.
What shapes your quote
These factors decide where your job lands in the range — and we walk you through each one on the written quote.
- Age and type of existing wiring, since knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring common in pre-1970s Seattle homes takes longer to correct than modern copper
- Whether a permit and inspection is required through Seattle DCI or Washington L&I, which adds scheduling time and a fee
- Panel amperage needed, since many older homes still run 100-amp service and need a 200-amp upgrade for EV chargers or heat pumps
- Access to the work area, including finished walls, tight crawlspaces, or panels located in detached garages

Pick your city from the list above for local details, or call (206) 427-8907 and we'll confirm coverage for your address.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes, all work is performed by licensed electricians insured for residential and light commercial jobs in Washington State. We handle the permit paperwork required by Seattle DCI or Washington L&I depending on where your home is located.
How much does a panel upgrade cost?
It depends on your current amperage and panel location, but most jobs land in a range we'll quote after an on-site look at your existing setup. Call for an estimate specific to your home—pricing starts from $149 for the initial diagnostic visit.
Do I need a permit for electrical work?
Most panel upgrades, rewiring, and new circuits require a permit. In Seattle that's through the Department of Construction and Inspections; elsewhere in King and Snohomish counties it's typically through Washington L&I. We pull permits as part of the job when required.
