We perform residential electrical work on panel upgrades, EV charger installation, whole-home wiring, lighting, and emergency repairs — always with permits pulled and inspections scheduled.
Kent is one of the fastest-growing cities in King County. From the older neighborhoods around West Hill to newer construction east of SR-167 and the Des Moines Creek area, we work in every part of the city. Whether you need a 200-amp panel replacement or a Level 2 charger for your garage, call 425-210-4791 for a free estimate.
Many Kent homes built in the 1970s–1990s are still running 100-amp service or outdated panels (Federal Pacific, Zinsco). We replace panels with new 200-amp service, coordinate with Puget Sound Energy for meter disconnects, and handle all permits through Washington State L&I. Cost in Kent typically runs $2,800–$4,500 depending on service entrance condition and meter base.
We install Level 2 EV chargers throughout Kent — Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint Home Flex, JuiceBox, and other brands. A standard installation (dedicated 50-amp circuit, garage, existing 200-amp service) costs $600–$1,200 in Kent including permit. Homes with 100-amp service may require a panel upgrade first.
Older Kent homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring present real fire and insurance risks. We perform whole-home rewiring, partial rewiring for remodels, and add circuits for home offices, workshops, and kitchen upgrades. All rewiring includes inspection and permit closeout.
We install recessed LED lighting, outdoor security and landscape lighting, ceiling fans, and smart lighting systems throughout Kent homes. Recessed lighting runs $150–$250 per light in existing ceilings; LED retrofit swaps are as low as $50–$100 per can.
Washington State code requires GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. We upgrade outlets to GFCI and AFCI protection throughout the home, either as standalone jobs or bundled with larger projects. GFCI outlet replacement costs $100–$175 per outlet.
We replace expired smoke detectors with new hardwired, interconnected units that meet Washington State requirements. Combination smoke/CO units are required in homes with gas appliances or attached garages. Whole-home replacements for 6–8 units run $500–$1,000.
Buying or selling a home in Kent? A licensed electrician inspection covers your panel, wiring, outlets, smoke detectors, and service entrance. We provide a written report with prioritized findings. Inspections cost $200–$350 for standard homes.
From our Newcastle base, we serve all of Kent including:
A 200-amp panel replacement in Kent typically costs $2,800–$4,500 including labor, materials, permit, and PSE coordination. If the meter base also needs replacement, add $300–$600. If you're bundling an EV charger circuit at the same time, that's the most cost-efficient approach.
Yes. All electrical work in Kent beyond simple device replacement requires an electrical permit issued through Washington State L&I. We pull permits on every job. Never hire an electrician in Kent who skips permits — unpermitted work creates liability issues at resale and may void homeowner's insurance.
For a standard hardwired Level 2 charger installation in Kent, the actual electrical work takes 2–4 hours. Permit issuance through L&I typically takes 3–7 business days, so plan 1–2 weeks from booking to completion.
For non-permit troubleshooting and device replacements, we frequently offer same-day or next-day scheduling in Kent. For panel upgrades and EV charger installs, lead time is typically 1–2 weeks due to permit requirements.
