We wear task-appropriate PPE and implement Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and deliver as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
While every project is distinct, our work is built on the same core principles: strict conformity to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You obtain 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 computations for inspection.
You'll find compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 approaches, validate electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also ensure AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
Personal Protective Equipment and Lockout/Tagout
Based on compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment carefully and safely.
Permits & Inspections
In advance of a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You review NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You organize work for every inspection, utilizing 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 keep as-builts up-to-date, resolve red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Honest Pricing and Direct Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We outline total cost and scope before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we give you clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
