Green Coast Electric has been handling residential and commercial electrical work in Everett and across Snohomish County since 2011. Whether you need a same-day repair, a full panel upgrade, or a new circuit installed before the weekend, we show up ready to work. Our crew handles everything from tripped breakers and dead outlets to whole-home rewiring and EV charger installation. Work is performed by licensed electricians who know the local code and take the job seriously. Good workmanship. Good pricing. Good electricians.
We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, and that starts with the first call. Reach us at (425) 699-4653 to get a quote and get on the schedule.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, so we keep same-day and weekend appointments available for customers who need help now. Flickering lights, dead outlets, tripping breakers, electrical shorts, and partial power loss are among the most common calls we get. Each one points to something specific, and finding the root cause is the job before anything gets replaced.
When we arrive, we start with a thorough diagnostic. We check the circuit, the panel, the devices, and the wiring path until we find the problem. GFCI and AFCI protection issues, arc-fault breakers that won't reset, ground-fault outlets that trip without explanation -- these are the kinds of things that look simple on the surface and turn out to need a closer look. We give you honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell, so you know exactly what the issue is and what it will take to fix it. We'll make your wiring safe again.
For residential and commercial electrical work alike, the breaker panel is where capacity and safety meet. Panels age, and older 100-amp services were not built to carry the loads that modern homes and businesses put on them. If you are adding an EV charger, integrating a battery backup system, or running large appliances on circuits that were never sized for them, a panel upgrade is often the right starting point.
We handle 100-to-200-amp service upgrades, subpanel installation, and service-entrance replacements. Every upgrade starts with a load calculation so the new panel is properly sized for current and future demand. That includes accounting for the electrical side of HVAC loads, shop equipment, and other high-draw circuits. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how we run every panel job -- you will know what is being done, why, and what to expect before we pull a permit. We'll get the job wired and finished.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, and that is true whether the house was built last year or sixty years ago. We install and replace outlets and switches of all types: GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, and garages; AFCI outlets and breakers for bedrooms and living areas; USB outlets; dimmer switches; and smart switches that work with home automation systems.
When the wiring itself is the problem, we do the deeper work. Knob-and-tube wiring replacement, aluminum-wiring remediation, and full rewiring for additions and remodels are all part of what we handle. Older homes in Everett and the surrounding area often have wiring that no longer meets code, and a rewire is the safest long-term solution. We also run dedicated circuits for dryers, refrigerators, hot tubs, and other major appliances that need their own breaker. Kitchen electrical, bathroom electrical, basement wiring, garage circuits -- if it involves code-compliant wiring and a panel connection, we handle it. We'll make your wiring safe again.
Your time matters, so we keep the wiring job on schedule, and that includes lighting and ceiling fan installs that are planned to fit your day. Inside the home, we install recessed and LED lighting, under-cabinet lighting, pendant fixtures, and ceiling fans with or without existing wiring in place. Swapping out a dated fixture for something new takes less time than most people expect, and the difference in a room is immediate.
Outside, we handle security lighting, flood lights, landscape lighting, and exterior fixtures of all kinds. Good outdoor lighting improves safety around entryways and driveways, adds curb appeal, and makes a property more secure after dark. Whether you want a single motion-sensor light above the garage or a full landscape lighting layout, we size and wire the circuit correctly from the start. Call today and we'll get the power back where it belongs.
Washington leads the country in EV adoption, rooftop solar is common across Snohomish County, and winter storms regularly test the grid. These are not abstract trends -- they show up in the calls we get every week. The services below reflect what Everett-area homeowners and businesses are actually asking for.
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and getting that circuit right is the whole job. We assess your panel capacity, run the circuit to the garage or carport, and wire the charger to code. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the load, we handle that too. With EV ownership growing fast throughout the region, home charging is quickly moving from a convenience to a necessity. We work with all major charger brands and make sure the installation meets current electrical code.
Wildfire-season public-safety power shutoffs and winter storm outages are a real part of life in the Pacific Northwest. Battery backup systems and standby generators address that directly, and the electrical integration is where we come in. We install transfer switches, wire generator circuits, and connect battery backup systems to your panel so the transition from grid to backup power is clean and automatic. If you are adding solar, we handle the panel integration and the electrical connections that tie the system to your home's circuits. The goal is a setup that works when the grid does not.
A single voltage spike can damage appliances, electronics, and home systems in seconds. Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel and catches surges before they reach your devices. In an area where grid fluctuations during storm season are common, panel-level protection is a straightforward way to guard a significant investment. We install surge protection devices that meet current code, and we make sure grounding and bonding are correct so the system actually does its job.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible for commercial clients and property managers who cannot afford downtime or delays. We work with offices, retail spaces, multi-unit buildings, and new construction projects throughout the area. Tenant improvements, rough-in wiring for additions, commercial lighting installation, and panel work for commercial loads are all part of our regular scope.
Property managers and landlords rely on us for rental property electrical repairs, code-compliance work, and inspection readiness. When a unit needs to pass inspection or a tenant reports a wiring problem, a fast, reliable response matters. The owners are right here, so decisions get made on the spot. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, and we document the work so you have what you need for your records. We'll get the job wired and finished.
A pre-purchase inspection, a code-compliance audit, or a safety check on an older home all start the same way: a thorough look at the panel, the circuits, the grounding and bonding, and the devices throughout the property. We identify wiring that is out of date, panels that are undersized or damaged, and protection gaps that should be corrected before they become a problem.
If you are buying a home, selling one, or managing a property that has not had an electrical review in years, an inspection gives you a clear picture of where things stand. We'll make your wiring safe again.

We give you a clear quote before any work begins. You will know what we found, what we recommend, and what the job will cost before we start. There are no surprise fees added after the fact, and if something unexpected comes up during the work, we tell you before we proceed.
Deposit requirements vary depending on the scope and materials involved in the job. We discuss payment expectations upfront so you know what to expect before we begin. Call (425) 699-4653 and we can walk you through how a specific project is typically handled.
Payment is typically collected at the completion of the job once the work is finished and you have had a chance to see what was done. For larger projects with significant material costs, we may discuss a partial payment arrangement upfront. We will always be clear about payment terms before any work begins.
It depends on the scope. A straightforward outlet repair or switch replacement can be done in under an hour. A breaker panel upgrade or a whole-home rewiring project takes considerably longer, and we will give you a realistic time estimate when we quote the job. We work efficiently and keep the job on schedule so your day is not disrupted longer than necessary.
It helps to make sure the area around your electrical panel is clear and accessible. If we are working in a specific room, clearing furniture or stored items away from the walls and outlets in that area speeds things up. We will let you know if there is anything specific to prepare when you call to schedule.
We coordinate scheduling so someone is available to let us in and walk us through the work needed. If your situation requires a different arrangement, call us and we will work out the details. We want the visit to go smoothly for everyone involved.
Yes, and this is a significant part of what we do in the Everett area. Many homes here were built decades ago and still have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or undersized panels that were never designed for modern electrical loads. We assess the system, explain what we find, and give you honest recommendations on what needs attention.

How do I know if my home needs a panel or service upgrade?
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a panel that feels warm to the touch, lights that dim when large appliances kick on, or a 100-amp service that is being asked to carry modern loads like EV chargers or electric dryers. If you are planning to add a high-draw circuit and are not sure your panel can handle it, call us and we will assess the load before any work begins.
What causes a breaker to trip repeatedly?
A breaker trips when a circuit is carrying more current than it was designed for, or when there is a fault somewhere in the wiring. Repeated tripping usually points to an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, a wiring problem, or a faulty device drawing too much current. We start with a diagnostic to find the actual cause rather than just resetting the breaker.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Yes. Work that requires a permit under Washington state and local Snohomish County code is pulled and inspected. We handle the permit process and make sure the work passes inspection before we close the job. You will have documentation of the completed work for your records.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job on this list is handled by licensed electricians who know local code and take the work seriously. We do not cut corners on the jobs that matter most for your safety.
What do flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flickering when a large appliance starts up can be normal on an older service. Persistent flickering, dimming that happens without an obvious cause, or lights that flicker in multiple rooms at once are worth investigating. These can point to a loose connection, a failing breaker, an overloaded circuit, or a service that is undersized for the current load. We can diagnose the cause and tell you what needs to be done.
Is it safe to have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring in an older home?
Knob-and-tube wiring and aluminum branch-circuit wiring were both installed in homes for decades, but neither is well-suited to the electrical loads modern households put on them. Knob-and-tube has no ground conductor and was not designed for today's demand. Aluminum branch wiring can loosen at connections over time and create heat and fire risk. We assess what you have, explain the risks, and give you honest recommendations on what needs attention.
What does EV charger installation involve?
A Level 2 home charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit. We start by assessing your panel capacity to make sure it can support the added load. If the panel needs an upgrade, we handle that first. Then we run the circuit to your garage or carport and wire the charger to current electrical code. We work with all major charger brands and make sure the installation is done right.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
You will know what the job costs before we start. If something unexpected comes up during the work, we tell you before we proceed, not after.
Do I need to be home when the electrician arrives?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the panel, the work area, and often multiple rooms. We coordinate scheduling so someone is available to let us in and walk us through what is needed. If your situation requires a different arrangement, call us and we will work out the details before the appointment.
How do estimates and pricing work?
We give you a clear quote before any work begins. You will know what we found, what we recommend, and what the job will cost before we start. If something unexpected comes up during the work, we tell you before we proceed. There are no fees added after the fact without your knowledge.
Experienced With Older and Newer Homes
We work on homes built last year and homes built sixty years ago. Whether the job is a modern panel upgrade or aging wiring that needs to be replaced, we know what we are looking at.
When should I call an electrician instead of trying to fix something myself?
Any work that involves the breaker panel, new wiring, circuit installation, or replacing devices inside the wall should be handled by a licensed electrician. Beyond the safety risk, unpermitted electrical work can create problems when you sell the home or file an insurance claim. If you are not sure whether your situation requires a professional, call us and we will tell you straight.
Is surge protection worth it for a home in the Everett area?
In an area where winter storms and occasional grid fluctuations are part of the season, panel-level surge protection is a straightforward way to guard appliances, electronics, and home systems from voltage spikes. A surge device installs at the panel and catches surges before they reach your devices. We also verify that grounding and bonding are correct so the system actually performs as intended.
How long does a panel upgrade or whole-home rewire take?
A standard 100-to-200-amp panel upgrade typically takes one day, depending on the complexity of the service entrance and whether a subpanel is involved. A whole-home rewire is a larger project and can take several days for an average-sized house. We give you a realistic time estimate when we quote the job so you know what to plan for.
