When you choose Melby Electric for child-proof outlet installation, our licensed electricians start by assessing your home to identify all the outlets that need upgrading.
We recommend installing tamper-resistant outlets in areas where children play, sleep, or spend time-such as bedrooms, living rooms, and playrooms. These special outlets have built-in safety shutters that only open when equal pressure is applied to both slots, making it nearly impossible for children to insert objects and risk electric shock.
During the installation, our team carefully removes your old outlets and replaces them with new, code-compliant child-proof outlets. We make sure each outlet is securely installed, properly wired, and fully tested before we finish the job.

They were very accommodating, professional and did a thorough job. I would highly recommend them for any electrical needs.

From start to finish, they were top-tier in every way. I worked directly with Jake to coordinate a Generac generator installation for our home in Snohomish, and the entire experience was seamless. His team was on time, incredibly thorough, and paid attention to every detail. We installed a 26kW generator that now powers our whole house, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. The professionalism and care that went into the project made it clear I’ll never need to look for another electrician again. Highly recommend Melby Electric—true experts you can count on! Mark L2025-04-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was extremely happy to have found Melby Electric. I purchased a home where the dining room ceiling light was no where close to where it should have been and I also wanted to upgrade the light switches throughout my home to smart switches. I found a contractor who has work in the area for 2 decades and hired him to complete the work. Months later I was still hounding him to complete the job. I then found Melby Electric and the Jake, the owner himself, came over to complete the job! Jake was able to quickly and effectively move my dining room ceiling light without causing the need for any ceiling touch ups and additionally converted all of my desired wall switches to smart switches for all of the ceiling lights that I have throughout the place. All of this was completed at extremely competitive and fair prices. Thanks Melby Electric! I will call them first next time I have any work needing to be done.

From start to finish, they made what could have been a stressful project feel smooth, easy, and even exciting. My home was built in the 60s and desperately needed a full electrical update. Jake and his crew completely rewired the entire house to bring it up to code, installed beautiful new overhead lights in all of my main living spaces, and even moved and reinstalled my electrical panel—all with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. Every step of the process was clearly communicated, and he treated my home with the utmost respect. It’s rare to find a company that combines top-notch technical skill with the kind of friendly, trustworthy service that makes you feel like you're in good hands—and Melby Electric absolutely delivered. I’m so grateful for their work and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for quality electrical services. Thank you again, Jake!

They’re a smaller team, but that’s exactly what makes the experience so great—friendly, honest, and genuinely invested in doing things right. Showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and left the place cleaner than they found it. You can tell customer service actually matters to them, and that’s rare these days. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Melby Electric and couldn’t be happier with the service. I needed a full panel change, and not only was the quality of work top notch, but the price was also significantly more affordable than the other quotes I received. From the beginning, the communication was clear and timely. Matt and Adam were both extremely professional, punctual, and respectful of my home. They explained everything thoroughly, answered all my questions, and made the whole process stress free. What really stood out was the follow up after completion. Jake, the owner, personally reached out after the job was done to make sure I was completely satisfied. You can tell this company genuinely cares about their customers and takes pride in their work. It’s rare to find a team that combines skill, efficiency, and fair pricing but they nailed all three. Highly recommend to anyone looking for honest, high quality electrical work!
