"Mike and his team did a great job upgrade our electrical panel from 100A to 200A. They did a great job and we appreciate their work and effort. Mike is kind, professional and always willing to help. He has answered me lots of questions and make adjustments based on my request. The process goes smoothly and inspection passed without any doubt. And their price is the best (among the 3 companies I quote)! Would highly recommended them for anyone needs a panel upgrade or electrical work."

"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."

"This is the second time I hired SeaTown Electric to replace lighting fixtures in my home. They came right out assessed my need and came a week later prepared to install the fixture I needed in my bathroom. Colby did a neat and careful installation and when he was inspecting my electrical panel, I let it be known that I was also in the market for a new furnace for my manufactured home. SeaTown then send Cody out to assess my rusting old furnace, and asked if I wanted him to look for one that would fit the small space where my old furnace was sitting, I told him yes, and he called that day with an estimate for the new furnace and its installation. Great guys at SeaTown and Kaitlyn, too who helped me figure out the electrical jargon. Don't understand? Call and talk to Kaitlyn. She'll clear things up for you."

"Yes, he got all the work done that he was hired to do. On top of that, there were obstacles that made the job more difficult, but he got around those and did an excellent job. I live in an older home and I have an older electrical box. I thought for sure he was going to tell me it needed to be replaced. But he said though it was old, It was still a good box. I appreciated the fact that he showed up when he said he would or would call to say he was running behind. I have found so many contractors these days don’t even show up so this was definitely a refreshing change. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for quality electrical work."

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.
