When a renovation, a new appliance, or an added room is on the schedule, the electrical side of the project needs to be figured out before the walls go up or the equipment arrives. That means knowing whether the panel can carry the new load, whether the circuit feeding that part of the house is sized correctly, and whether the wiring behind the walls is in a condition to build on. We handle that planning work for homes and businesses throughout Pacific, and we cover everything from the initial assessment through the finished installation. We are available every day from 5 AM to 8 PM.

Pacific is a small town, and the housing stock reflects that. Older homes with original wiring, outbuildings that have been wired over the years in ways nobody fully documented, and circuits that were sized for appliances that no longer exist are all common here. That is the kind of electrical situation we work through regularly, and it shapes how we approach every call. The scope gets confirmed on the phone, the price is explained before we schedule, and the work is described as it goes.
A three-way switch that works from one end of a hallway but not the other is one of those problems that gets tolerated for longer than it should. The fault usually lives in the wiring between the switches rather than in the switches themselves. We trace the circuit, find where the connection has failed, and rewire it correctly. Multi-location switching in larger rooms and stairwells follows the same process.
Grounding and bonding are what keep a fault from becoming a shock or a fire. In older homes, the grounding system was often incomplete to begin with, or it has been modified over the years without being brought up to current standards. We check the grounding at the panel, at individual circuits, and at outlets throughout the home. Where corrections are needed, we explain what they involve and why before any work starts.
A whole-home surge protector installs at the main panel and catches voltage spikes before they reach the wiring and devices throughout the house. With EV chargers, home office equipment, and modern appliances all drawing from the same service, the exposure to surge damage is real. The device installs in a single visit and covers every circuit from that point forward. It is a straightforward choice for homeowners and property managers who want to protect what is connected to the grid.
When a garage or workshop needs its own circuits, running individual wires back to the main panel from each outlet and fixture is rarely the right answer. A subpanel installed in the outbuilding gives that space its own distribution point, keeps the circuits organized, and makes future additions easier to manage. We size the subpanel to the actual load the space will carry and run the feeder from the main panel accordingly.
Connecting a backup generator to the home requires a transfer switch, which is what allows the generator to carry the load safely without back-feeding the utility line. We handle the wiring and the transfer switch installation. The generator unit itself is a separate purchase, but the electrical hookup is what makes it usable when the power goes out. For properties where outages are a regular concern, this is work worth scheduling before the next one.
When you call about an electrical problem or a planned installation, the first conversation is where the scope gets worked out. We ask about the symptom, the location in the home, and what the circuit or panel situation looks like. That gives us enough to confirm what the job involves and what it will cost before anyone is scheduled. You are not committing to anything by calling for a quote.
For situations that will not keep, we take short-notice work. Prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, is part of how we operate. If you have tenants in a property or a business that needs to stay open, we talk through access and timing on the call so the work fits around what the property requires. Decisions about the work get made while you are on the phone.
Adding an EV charger, finishing a basement, or running a new appliance through an older panel is not always as simple as pulling a new circuit. The panel has to have the capacity to carry the added load without pushing the service entrance past its limit. We run load calculations before any upgrade or addition to confirm what the panel can handle and what it cannot.
If the panel is already at capacity, the options depend on the situation. In some cases, a circuit can be freed up by combining loads that were separated unnecessarily. In others, a service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps is the right answer. For properties where a full upgrade is not practical right away, a subpanel in the area where the new load will be concentrated is sometimes the path forward. We walk through the options and explain the trade-offs before any work is scheduled.
EV adoption across the region runs well ahead of the national average, and the electrical side of a Level 2 home charger installation starts with the panel. A Level 2 charger draws significantly more current than a standard outlet, and the dedicated circuit needs to be sized for it. We assess the panel first, determine whether an upgrade or subpanel is needed, and then run the circuit to the garage or parking area.
For homes with rooftop solar or battery storage systems, our work covers the wiring, the dedicated circuits, and the panel capacity needed to support the installation. We handle the electrical side of the connection. The panels and battery units themselves are outside our scope, but the infrastructure that ties them to the home's electrical system is not.
A price for electrical work depends on what the job actually involves, and that is not always clear until the circuit or the panel has been looked at. What the fault turns out to be, what has to be opened up to reach it, and whether the existing wiring or panel can carry the change are the things that move the number. We ask the right questions on the call to get as close to the real scope as possible before anyone comes out.
The price is confirmed before we schedule. If the situation turns out to be more involved once the visit happens, we say so before the additional work proceeds. Nothing moves forward without your agreement on the updated scope and cost.
Call (425) 599-4195 and we will work through what the job involves and what it will cost to do it.
That outlet that has never worked since you moved in. The switch near the back door that sparks when you use it. The exterior light that has been dark for two seasons. These are the jobs that get pushed to the back of the list because they seem minor, and they stay there until something more pressing comes along.
Before a small wiring issue turns into a hazard, it is worth a call. A sparking switch is a loose connection or a failing device, and either one can cause damage to the wiring behind it over time. An outlet that has never worked might be on a tripped GFCI somewhere upstream, which is a ten-minute fix, or it might point to a wiring fault that deserves attention. The only way to know is to check it. We are ready to get your circuits working again.
Electrical work that involves new circuits, panel changes, or service upgrades generally requires a permit and an inspection in most jurisdictions. The specifics vary depending on whether the property is in a city or an unincorporated area of the county, and what the scope of the work includes. We do not state a rule this page cannot know, because requirements differ and stating the wrong one causes real problems.
What we can tell you is that permit requirements are part of the conversation when the job is scoped. Where a permit is needed, filing it is part of the process, not an afterthought. Inspection timing affects how the work is sequenced, and we plan around that from the start. If you have questions about whether a specific job requires a permit at your address, ask on the call and we will give you a straight answer based on what the work actually involves.

Many common repairs, including dead outlets, tripping breakers, failed switches, and fixture replacements, are completed in one visit. More involved work like panel replacements or whole-home rewiring takes longer by nature. When you call, we scope the job and give you a realistic picture of what the visit will cover before anything is scheduled.
Yes. A staged rewire tackles one section of the home at a time, which keeps disruption manageable and spreads the work over a longer period. We plan the sequence so the areas of greatest concern are addressed first. Each stage is scoped and priced separately so you know what each phase involves before it starts.
A transfer switch is the key component. It isolates the home's circuits from the utility line before the generator takes the load, which prevents backfeed that would be dangerous for utility workers. We install the transfer switch and wire the connection between the generator and the panel. The generator unit itself is a separate purchase.
Yes. Detached garages, workshops, sheds, and other outbuildings are part of what we cover. The work typically involves running a circuit or a feeder from the main panel, installing a subpanel in the outbuilding if the load warrants it, and wiring the outlets, lighting, and any equipment circuits inside the structure.
Homes built several decades ago were wired for the appliances and load levels of that era, and the circuits often were not designed with today's demands in mind. Ungrounded outlets, fuse boxes that have been patched rather than replaced, and wiring that has been extended or modified without being brought up to current standards are all situations we see regularly in older properties. An inspection is the clearest way to understand what the system can handle and what it cannot.
A cable running underground to a detached garage, shed, or other outbuilding needs to be installed at the correct depth and in the appropriate conduit or cable type for a buried run. The requirements depend on the installation method and the local inspection standards that apply. We confirm what is required at your address before the work is planned.
