We wear task-appropriate PPE and maintain Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work begins. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to confirm your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Though each project is one-of-a-kind, our work follows the same core principles: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle check here Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that satisfy 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 implement Article 250 techniques, confirm electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where needed, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You locate all energy sources, verify no presence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment matched to 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 access keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment carefully and safely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the correct permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop idle crews and rushed work. You reference 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 thorough 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 up-to-date, remedy red tags promptly, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Honest Costs and Transparent Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify the complete scope and total cost before work begins, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. While work progresses, we deliver plain‑language updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
Clear, Detailed Estimates
Depend on upfront, line-by-line estimates that clarify labor, materials, permit fees, and code-driven requirements before any work starts. You get a complete breakdown linked to scope, showing fixture counts, conductor types and lengths, device ratings, panel space, GFCI/AFCI needs, grounding upgrades, and inspection steps. We synchronize each line with NEC and Seattle amendments, so you see what's necessary and why.
We use standardized unit costs and site-specific quantities for transparent pricing. Should field conditions vary—buried junctions, aluminum branch circuits, or load calculation results—we adjust the estimate for precision and code adherence, with your approval first. You'll be informed of timelines, access needs, utility coordination, and shutoff plans. Our documentation clarifies warranty terms, submittals, and disposal methods, ensuring safe execution and predictable budgeting from start to finish.
Transparent Pricing Only
