We use task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work begins. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Although each project is different, our work is built on the same core principles: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You'll observe compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We apply Article 250 methods, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations follow listing instructions more info and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and LOTO
Based on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine all energy sources, verify absence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment aligned with incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments verified on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment carefully and safely.
Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop idle crews and rushed work. You consult NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You stage work for each inspection, using a detailed inspection checklist: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You ensure as-builts accurate, remedy red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Straightforward Pricing and Straightforward Communication
You get an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Rely on upfront, itemized estimates that outline labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work begins. You obtain a thorough breakdown tied to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI requirements, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We tie each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's mandated and why.
We employ standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. When field conditions differ—hidden junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll understand timelines, access requirements, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, guaranteeing safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Zero Hidden Costs
While scopes evolve during real-world work, our pricing never conceals extras. You receive upfront billing connected to defined tasks, materials, and code-compliant methods, so you won't face unexpected costs when we access a panel or trace a circuit. We provide a flat rate for each approved scope segment, determined by labor hours, parts specifications, and required permits. If conditions necessitate a change, we pause, price it, and wait for your authorization.
Our cost structure adheres to NEC-driven standards and safety best practices. You'll receive transparent costs for GFCIs, AFCIs, grounding upgrades, or service-entrance work. We also feature bundle discounts when you group related tasks—like panel upgrades with surge protection—reducing total labor mobilizations. Straightforward pricing, documented assumptions, and guaranteed pricing preserve your safety, budget, and schedule.
Plain-Language Updates
Clear pricing only works when updates are just as clear. You'll get plain-language briefings that translate NEC regulations, load calculations, and permit procedures into concrete actions, timelines, and costs. We highlight scope changes immediately, document their code drivers, and document safety impacts so you can make informed decisions.
We organize milestones, furnish written change orders, and record timestamped progress images. You'll see circuit labeling, breaker sizing, GFCI/AFCI positioning, and grounding improvements in simple terms. When we suggest electrical panel derating or arc-fault safety measures, we'll explain the risks involved, applicable standards, and associated costs before work proceeds.
You'll additionally obtain community updates on service interruptions, system inspections, and local initiatives, plus actionable energy recommendations—including LED retrofits, smart controls, and load management—to reduce usage while upholding compliance and safety.
Project Workflow: From Initial Consultation to Final Walkthrough
Before any tools come out, we begin with a thorough on-site consultation to define scope, load requirements, code constraints, and safety priorities. We validate service capacity, chart circuits, determine grounding/bonding requirements, and document access or shutoff procedures. We'll provide you with a written plan, clear timeline expectations, and a clearly defined proposal with listed materials and permit requirements.
After permit approval, we schedule work to reduce outages. We lockout/tagout, safeguard finishes, and execute installations per NEC, local amendments, and manufacturer specs. We label panels, torque terminations to specification, and test ground fault and arc fault protection, fault current, continuity, and polarity. Once powered up, we validate systems, show operation, and document warranties and maintenance requirements.
The final walkthrough verifies punch-list closure, inspector sign-off, and post installation support details.
