Give Us a Call
Yes. Whether you live in the historic district near First Street or out in unincorporated Snohomish County, most projects require a permit. This includes panel upgrades, hot tub circuits, and EV chargers. We handle the paperwork for you and coordinate inspections with the City or County.
We also work directly with Snohomish PUD to manage any power disconnects needed for the job.
If your home is one of the older Victorians near downtown or a 1970s build in Clearview, check your panel brand. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are very common in this area but are known for not tripping during a surge.
Other signs of trouble include breakers that are warm to the touch, flickering lights when the AC kicks on, or a crackling sound coming from the box.
Most Snohomish homeowners need a dedicated 50-amp or 60-amp circuit to get a full charge for the morning commute down Highway 9 or I-5.
We start by checking if your current service can handle the extra load. If your panel is full, we can usually add a sub-panel to create space without the cost of a full service mast replacement.
We can usually give you a firm price for standard jobs like EV chargers or outlet installs if you text us a photo of your panel and the area where you want the work done.
For troubleshooting power outages or flickering lights, we need to be on-site and we charge $99 electrical assessment fee that is waived if you choose to work with us. We have to physically test the circuits to find the root cause before we can give an accurate estimate.
Go to your panel and turn off the main breaker immediately. A fishy or burning plastic smell usually means an outlet is melting or a wire is arcing behind the wall.
These are high-risk fire hazards that do not go away on their own. We treat these as emergencies and prioritize getting a technician to your Snohomish address the same day.
We typically respond within 1 hour during business hours.
