Kenmore's housing stock spans a wide range, from 1960s and 70s ranch homes built during the area's early suburban growth near Lake Washington and St. Edward Park, to newer townhomes and condos that went up around Kenmore Village and the Uptown area after 2010. That mix means we see everything from original 60-amp fuse boxes that never got upgraded to modern 200-amp panels ready for EV chargers, so a proper inspection matters before any work starts.
Local knowledge
What's different about electrician in Kenmore
Kenmore homes have their own quirks, and after years of visits here we know them well.
Many Kenmore homes near the lakefront and older neighborhoods still run on 100-amp or smaller panels installed decades ago, which often can't support a heat pump, EV charger, and kitchen appliances running at the same time.
PSE serves electric power to Kenmore, and older properties in this service area sometimes have aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s-70s that needs a licensed evaluation before adding new circuits.
Wet winters and the proximity to Lake Washington mean outdoor outlets, dock wiring, and exterior lighting in Kenmore need GFCI protection that's rated for damp locations, not standard indoor components.

Straight answers
Electrician in Kenmore — FAQ
Do you work on older Kenmore homes with original wiring?
Yes. A good number of Kenmore homes near the lake and in the older neighborhoods still have wiring or panels from the 1960s and 70s. We regularly evaluate aluminum branch wiring and undersized panels in this area and can advise whether a full rewire or a targeted upgrade makes more sense for your situation.
Can you add an EV charger circuit to my Kenmore home?
Most of the time, yes, though it depends on your panel's existing capacity. Homes built before the 2000s in Kenmore often have 100-amp service, which may need a panel upgrade to safely support a Level 2 EV charger alongside your other appliances.
How fast can someone get to my house in Kenmore?
We serve Kenmore regularly along with Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Sammamish, so we're typically able to schedule a visit within a day or two of your call, sometimes sooner depending on the day.
What does the $149 service call cover?
That's the cost for a licensed electrician to come out, diagnose the issue, and give you a written estimate for the repair. If you move forward with the work, that visit fee is factored into your total project cost.
