"Smart Electric was a real life saver for me! My electricity went out late last Tuesday. I called a large company in the area and was told the entire panel needed to be replaced and it would cost $7500 (before tax!). I called Smart Electric for a 2nd opinion and I am so glad I did! Joseph called me back right away and did some troubleshooting over the phone and asked me to send him some pictures. Right away he could see that the main breaker just needed to be replaced. He got it ordered and they had it the next day. Jason came out after hours on Thursday to swap it out so I would not be without power another night. Instead of paying $7500 for a new panel that I didn't need, they got my power restored for under $600! The office staff was wonderful, as well. Very honest and professional company and I would definitely recommend them and will be using them in the future if anything else comes up."

"My experience with First Choice Electrical was an outstanding one. Jeff quickly responded to my request for an electrician to take on this job to replace an electrical panel. He provided a comprehensive price quote after getting all the necessary information from me including pictures. The price for the panel replacement was very reasonable. Jeff did a thorough and very professional job replacing it He explained what was being done and patiently answered all my questions. I was very impressed with the excellent work he did and the obviously very high professional standards he holds. As confirmation of the high caliber of work done the city inspector gave it his complete approval. The whole process including getting the necessary permits was very smooth and efficient. I’m very happy I went with 1st Choice Electrical to do this job and I can enthusiastically recommend them to anyone needing to have the highest quality of electrical work done at an affordable price."

"I hired Shudko Electric to replace my electrical panel and install a plug for an EV charger in my garage. They did excellent work at an extremely reasonable price—significantly lower than any other quote I received. In addition, Andrii took the time to evaluate the current and future electrical loads in my home, and based on this evaluation we determined 125 amp service was sufficient, avoiding the additional expense of a service upgrade while ensuring future upgrades were provisioned for. Andrii’s communication is excellent and he’s easy to work with. I’ve recommended him to others since the work was completed, and will continue to."

"Bradley knows what heâ  s doing. I originally hired Seatown Electric to come out and install an in-house backup generator. Bradley came out to install the generator and found that we had some pretty dangerous wiring at the panel and it was not nearly up to code. I was in the HVAC industry 30 years ago and the mechanical theory in which Bradley explained made complete sense. Bradley finished up the generator install and he gave me a bid to fix the issue. The same day, we called Seatown and we made an appointment for him to come back and do the work. Bradley and Austin showed up at 7:50am, 10 minutes before the job started. They met with me and got started. I always like to look at service techs trucks to see what kind of person is working on my home. Bradleyâ  s truck was immaculate. Extremely organized, very clean and it looked like a service truck that was on the DeWalt showroom floor. The instant I saw Bradleyâ  s truck, I knew his work was going to be perfect. The professionalism from both Bradley and Austin was outstanding. They worked extremely hard for almost 11 hours that day. They didnâ  t mess around, they had their mind set on the job and I was extremely impressed at their work ethic. We have been through 4 major renovations between our two homes and have used a myriad of different contractors, but never have we had a team close to as good as these guys. I would put every apprentice with Bradley, he knows what he is doing. Seatown is lucky to have this guy, they better take care of him. Great job guys!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Seattle, WA

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
