When a renovation is on the calendar, the electrical side needs to be figured out before the first wall opens up. A kitchen remodel that adds an island, a garage conversion that needs its own circuits, an addition that requires a subpanel, or a new appliance that the current panel can't support without a load calculation: these are the jobs where getting the electrical scope right at the start saves real time and money later. We handle that planning work and the installation that follows, for homeowners and property owners throughout Union Hill-Novelty Hill.
We cover the full range of residential and commercial electrical work in this area, from a single outlet replacement to a complete service upgrade. Whatever the project, the process starts with a phone call. You describe the job, we scope it on the call, and you get a clear price before anything is scheduled. We're available every day from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM.
Call (425) 928-9789 to get started.
Some electrical problems give you time to plan. A ceiling fan that needs replacing, a switch that stopped working, or a panel that's been on the list for a while are all jobs where you pick a day that suits the property and the people in it. We work around tenants who need advance notice, businesses that have to stay open during a visit, and homeowners who need the work done in a specific window. The appointment is confirmed on the call, and the scope and price are settled before anyone shows up.
Other problems don't wait. A breaker that won't hold under normal load, a burning smell near a receptacle, sparks when plugging in an appliance, or power out in part of the house are faults worth calling about as soon as you notice them. We take short-notice work and we're available into the evening, so a problem that shows up after work hours doesn't have to sit until the following week. Prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, is something we work to deliver on every job.
For commercial properties and rental units, we can work around operating hours and coordinate access with whoever is on site. The invoice goes to whoever owns the job, whether that's the property owner, the manager, or the business running the space.
Electrical pricing depends on what the job actually involves, and the honest answer to "how much does it cost" starts with a conversation about the property. The age of the wiring, the condition of the panel, how far a new circuit needs to run, and whether the existing service can carry the added load are the things that move a quote up or down. A straightforward outlet replacement in a newer home is a different scope from the same job in a house with aluminum branch-circuit wiring that needs remediation before the outlet is safe to install.
We ask about the symptoms and the property on the call, and from that we give you a price before anything is scheduled. If the work turns out to involve something that wasn't visible or describable over the phone, we explain what changed and confirm the updated scope before proceeding. Nothing moves forward without your agreement.
Permits are part of the picture for certain jobs. Whether a circuit, panel replacement, or exterior installation requires a permit and inspection depends on the local jurisdiction, and we confirm what applies to your specific project before the work begins. That step is part of the job, not something left to the property owner to figure out afterward.
Every home's wiring tells a different story, and the homes in and around Union Hill-Novelty Hill are no different. Newer construction, additions built over time, and older houses that have been updated in pieces all present different starting conditions. The jobs below reflect what we're called for most often in this area.
A safety inspection covers the panel, the grounding and bonding, the condition of visible wiring, and the presence of arc-fault and ground-fault protection where code requires it. Property owners request these before a sale, after a renovation, or when a home hasn't been looked at in years. The report documents what was found so the decision about what to address is an informed one.
A three-way switch setup lets you control a light from two locations, a staircase, a long hallway, or a room with two entries. When one switch in the circuit stops working or a new switch location needs to be added, the wiring behind it is more involved than a standard single-pole replacement. We trace the circuit, confirm the wiring, and get the switching working correctly from every location.
A home that was wired for a smaller load eventually runs out of capacity. Adding an EV charger, a home office, or a new appliance circuit to a panel that's already near its limit means upgrading the service first. We do the load calculation, confirm the correct service size, and handle the panel and service-entrance work together. For homes in this region where EV adoption and solar-plus-battery systems are common, the panel is often the first thing we look at before any new circuit is planned.
Installing a ceiling fan involves more than swapping a light fixture. The electrical box in the ceiling has to be rated for a fan's weight and movement, and the wiring may need updating to support separate control of the light and the fan motor. We check the box, confirm the wiring, and complete the installation so both functions work correctly.
A panel that runs warm, trips under normal load, or is simply too old to be reliable is a job worth scheduling before it becomes an emergency. We handle full panel replacements, breaker replacements within an existing panel, and fuse box conversions. The work is done to the code inspectors in this area enforce, and the inspection is part of the process.
High-draw appliances need their own circuits. A refrigerator, an electric range, a washer and dryer, or a hot tub all require a dedicated circuit sized to the load. The same applies to the dedicated circuit that supplies power to a heating or cooling unit. We run the circuit from the panel, install the correct connection point, and confirm the panel has the capacity to carry the added load before the circuit is energized.
When the person booking the work is not the person living in the property, the logistics change. Access has to be coordinated with the tenant, the scope has to be agreed with the owner, and the record of what was done matters for the next inspection or the next tenancy. We handle that coordination on the call and confirm the access plan before the visit is scheduled.
The invoice goes to whoever owns the account, whether that's the property manager, the landlord, or a building operator. Safety inspections, outlet and panel work, arc-fault and ground-fault upgrades, and repairs between tenants are the jobs we're called for most often by property managers in this area. We document what was found and what was done, so the property owner has a clear record.
We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind, and for a rental property, that means the next tenant moves into a unit where the wiring has been properly checked and any faults corrected.
Most homes have had electrical work done by more than one set of hands over the years. Some of it is correct. Some of it is not. When we find a junction box that was buried in a wall without a cover, a circuit that was extended without being properly grounded, or a breaker that's the wrong size for the wire it's protecting, we explain what we found and what it means before any corrective work is discussed.
Not everything needs to be torn out. A connection that was made with the right materials but doesn't meet current code for box fill or labeling is a different situation from one that presents an active safety risk. We tell the difference and explain it plainly, so the property owner can decide what to address and when. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, and that applies to work we're correcting as much as work we're starting fresh.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. No loose ends.

For most jobs, the property owner or a designated adult needs to be available at the start to confirm access and at the end to review the completed work. For longer projects, we discuss the access and presence requirements when the job is scoped so you can plan around it rather than having to stay home all day without knowing why.
Properties in this part of King County range from newer construction to homes that have been added onto or updated in pieces over the years, and each presents different electrical conditions. Dedicated circuits for EV chargers and high-draw appliances come up frequently, as does panel capacity work for homes adding solar or battery backup. Safety inspections before a property sale and circuit corrections on older wiring are also common requests we handle in this area.
A documented electrical inspection gives a landlord a clear record of the panel condition, the outlet and switch condition, and whether GFCI and AFCI protection is in place where code requires it. That record is useful if a tenant raises a safety concern or if the property is inspected by a code authority. We provide a written summary of what was checked and what was found.
We work directly with whoever has authority to grant access and approve the work. If that is a property manager rather than the owner, we confirm the scope and the schedule with them and follow their process for access. The invoice and the paperwork go to whoever the property manager specifies.
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring was used in many homes built during a specific period, and its main risk is at the connection points where aluminum meets devices rated for copper. The wiring itself is not necessarily a problem, but the connections at outlets, switches, and fixtures need to be assessed and corrected where they do not meet current standards. We assess the scope and explain what the remediation involves.
A GFCI outlet provides ground-fault protection at the outlet itself and can protect other outlets downstream on the same circuit. A GFCI breaker provides the same protection for the entire circuit from the panel. Either approach meets code depending on the installation, and we use whichever is more appropriate for the location and the circuit configuration.
You know who to call if you ever need us again. Whether it's a dead outlet, a ceiling fan that needs replacing, or a full panel upgrade, the process is the same: call, describe the job, get a price, and schedule.
