Green Coast Electric has been handling residential and commercial electrical work in Everett and across Snohomish County since 2011. Whether you need a tripped breaker reset, a full panel upgrade, or a Level 2 EV charger installed before the weekend, we show up ready to work. Work is performed by licensed electricians who know local code and treat every job with the same care. Same-day scheduling is available for urgent calls, and we keep our calendar flexible so you are not waiting a week to get a problem looked at.
Good workmanship. Good pricing. Good electricians.
Call (425) 699-4653 for a quote.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we. Dead outlets, flickering lights, a breaker that trips every time you run the microwave, power out to a whole room, a burning smell near a receptacle, a sparking outlet, or half the house going dark without warning. These are the calls we get every day, and they are the calls we take seriously.
When we arrive, we start with a thorough diagnostic before we touch anything. We trace the fault, check for arc-fault and ground-fault conditions, test GFCI and AFCI protection, and give you a clear read on what went wrong and what it will take to fix it. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, which means we do not guess and we do not patch over a problem that needs a real repair.
We'll make your wiring safe again.
Many homes in the area are still running on 100-amp service or older panel equipment that was never meant to carry today's electrical loads. If your household runs multiple large appliances, a home office, an EV charger, or electric cooking, a 200-amp service upgrade is often the right move. We handle the full scope: panel replacement, service-entrance and meter upgrades, subpanel installation, and load calculations to make sure the new system is sized correctly.
We also do whole-home rewiring. Older properties in Snohomish County sometimes still have knob-and-tube wiring or aluminum branch-circuit wiring, both of which carry real safety and insurance concerns. We replace them with code-compliant copper wiring and bring the system up to current standards. If you are finishing a basement, converting a garage, adding a room, or doing a full remodel, we wire the new space from scratch and tie it into the existing panel or a new one.
Honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell. We'll tell you what the panel actually needs and what can wait.
We'll get the job wired and finished.
For residential and commercial electrical work alike, the everyday jobs matter just as much as the big upgrades. We install standard outlets, GFCI-protected receptacles in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas, AFCI-protected circuits in bedrooms and living spaces, and weatherproof outdoor outlets wherever you need them. Switches and dimmers are straightforward installs we handle quickly, and we can add dedicated circuits for appliances that need their own power supply: refrigerators, dryers, washers, electric ovens, and hot tubs all benefit from a circuit sized specifically for the load.
Lighting is another area we cover top to bottom. Recessed LED cans, under-cabinet lighting, pendant fixtures, ceiling fan installation and wiring, exterior security lighting, motion-sensor lights, and landscape lighting along walkways and driveways. If you want to upgrade from old fluorescent fixtures to modern LED lighting in a commercial space, we handle that too.
Clear communication from the first call to the final test means you know what we are doing, why we are doing it, and what the finished result will look like. The owners are right here, so decisions get made on the spot.
Call today and we'll get the power back where it belongs.
Washington State leads the country in EV adoption, rooftop solar is common across the Puget Sound region, and the Pacific Northwest grid sees enough weather-related disruptions that backup power is a real conversation for a lot of households. The following services come up constantly in this area, and we have built real experience handling each one.
Level 2 home EV charger installation starts with a panel capacity check and a load calculation. If your current service can handle the added draw, we run a dedicated 240-volt circuit to the garage or driveway location you choose and install the charger. If the panel is already close to capacity, we talk through your options before we start. EV adoption across Snohomish County and the broader Seattle metro has accelerated, and we are scheduling these installs regularly. Call for a quote and we will walk you through exactly what your home needs.
We handle the electrical side of solar and battery backup installations: the wiring, dedicated circuits, panel capacity upgrades, interconnection work, and grounding and bonding. We do not sell or install solar panels as a product, but when a homeowner is working with a solar installer or adding a battery storage system, we make sure the electrical infrastructure is ready to support it. Wet-weather outages and public-safety power shutoffs during wildfire season have made battery backup a practical consideration for many households in the region. We wire the system correctly so it performs when you actually need it.
Power fluctuations are a fact of life in the Pacific Northwest. Utility surges, storm-related grid disturbances, and the everyday spikes that travel through your service entrance can quietly degrade electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment over time. A whole-home surge protector installs at the main panel and catches surges before they reach your circuits. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test so you understand exactly what was installed and how it protects your home.
Local crew. Real electrician on the phone. Quick to respond.
Your time matters, so we keep the wiring job on schedule, whether you are a homeowner dealing with a nuisance problem or a property manager coordinating electrical work across multiple units. We work with landlords who need rental properties brought up to code, property managers scheduling pre-lease inspections, commercial clients in office buildings and retail spaces, and homeowners preparing a house for sale who need a pre-purchase electrical inspection to satisfy a buyer or lender.
Electrical safety inspections are useful any time a property changes hands, after a renovation, or when a building has not had a formal inspection in years. If a property has failed an electrical inspection or received a code violation notice, we diagnose the specific issues and make the repairs needed to pass. We know Washington State electrical code and we document our work clearly.
We'll make your wiring safe again.
We know that "how much does an electrician cost" is usually the first question, and we would rather answer it directly than make you guess. Pricing depends on the scope of work: a simple outlet repair is a different conversation than a panel upgrade or an EV charger circuit with a service upgrade. We give you a clear quote before we start so there are no surprises at the end of the job.
We know schedules shift, so we keep booking flexible. Same-day availability for urgent electrical problems, and standard scheduling that does not make you wait longer than necessary for work that can be planned. Call (425) 699-4653 and we will talk through what you need, give you a quote, and get you on the calendar.
We are based in Everett and serve customers throughout Snohomish County and the surrounding north Seattle metro. If you are in Marysville, Mukilteo, Lynnwood, Bothell, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds, or Shoreline, we are already working in your area regularly. Give us a call and we will confirm we can get to you.
A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and whether your panel can support it depends on your current service size and how much capacity is already in use. We start every EV charger installation with a panel capacity check and a load calculation. If an upgrade is needed, we will tell you upfront and walk you through the options before any work begins.
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently under normal use, circuits that cannot handle the load you are putting on them, and a panel that is already full with no room for new breakers. Older 100-amp or 60-amp services were not designed for modern electrical loads, especially in homes with EV chargers, electric cooking, or multiple large appliances. If your panel is struggling, call us and we will do a load calculation to determine what you actually need.
A surge protector installed at the main panel catches voltage spikes before they reach your circuits and devices. This includes utility surges, storm-related grid disturbances, and the everyday spikes that travel through your service entrance. In the Pacific Northwest, where weather-related grid fluctuations are common, panel-level surge protection is a straightforward way to guard appliances, electronics, and your home's wiring.
Yes. We handle the electrical integration: wiring, dedicated circuits, panel capacity upgrades, interconnection work, and grounding and bonding. We do not sell or install solar panels as a product, but when a homeowner is working with a solar installer or adding a battery storage system, we make sure the electrical infrastructure is properly set up to support it.
A burning smell near an outlet or panel is a sign that something is overheating, arcing, or failing, and it should be treated as urgent. Turn off the circuit if you can do so safely, avoid using the outlet or switch, and call us right away. Do not ignore it or assume it will resolve on its own.
Common signs include flickering or dimming lights, outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch, breakers that trip repeatedly, a burning or plastic smell near electrical devices, and outlets that have no ground slot or are discolored. Homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum branch-circuit wiring may show none of these signs but still carry real safety concerns. An electrical safety inspection gives you a clear picture of where things stand.
If you smell burning, see sparking, or have reason to believe a circuit is actively failing, turn off the relevant breaker if you can do so safely. Do not use the outlet, switch, or fixture that appears to be the source of the problem. Avoid using extension cords as a workaround for a dead outlet. Keep children and pets away from the work area. When we arrive, we will start with a full diagnostic before anything gets touched.
An inspection is worth scheduling when you are buying or selling a home, after a renovation, when a property has not had a formal electrical review in several years, or when you are dealing with recurring electrical problems that suggest a deeper issue. We walk through the panel, circuits, grounding and bonding, and devices throughout the property and give you an honest report on what we find.
A dead outlet may have a tripped GFCI upstream, a failed breaker, or a wiring fault. A warm or discolored outlet is a more serious sign: it usually points to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or wiring that is failing. Discoloration around a receptacle often means heat has been building up over time. Any of these conditions should be looked at by a licensed electrician before the outlet is used again.
We look at the breakers for signs of age, damage, or improper sizing. We check the service-entrance conductors and the condition of the panel enclosure. We verify that grounding and bonding are correct and that the panel is properly labeled. If we are doing a load calculation for an upgrade or a new circuit, we assess how much capacity is already in use and how much headroom is available.
Yes. If there is no existing wiring in the location where you want a ceiling fan, we run a new circuit and install the proper ceiling box to support the fan's weight and load. We also handle replacements where a fan is being swapped out for a new model or where an existing fixture is being converted to a fan. Call us for a quote and we will let you know what the job involves at your specific location.

| Service Type | What the Job Involves | Ideal For | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| homeowners adding a major appliance or workshop equipment that needs its own breaker | Dedicated circuits prevent nuisance tripping and protect appliances from shared-circuit overloads. We size the circuit to the load and wire it to code. |
| Solar & Battery Backup |
| homeowners preparing for outages or integrating solar into their existing electrical system | Wildfire-season shutoffs and winter storms are a real part of life in the Pacific Northwest. We handle the electrical integration so the transition from grid to backup power is clean and automatic. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| home buyers, sellers, and property managers who want a clear picture of the electrical system | 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. |
| Older-Home Rewiring |
| older homes in Everett and surrounding areas with wiring that was never designed for today's electrical loads | A full rewire is often the safest long-term solution for homes with aging wiring. We explain what we find and give you honest recommendations before any work begins. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| kitchens, bathrooms, garages, bedrooms, and home automation setups | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. We make sure new installs meet current code. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| homes or businesses with breakers that trip repeatedly or fail to reset | A breaker that trips repeatedly is pointing to something specific. We find the cause rather than just resetting the breaker and moving on. |
| Lighting Installation |
| homeowners updating interior lighting or adding outdoor security and curb appeal | We size and wire the circuit correctly from the start, whether you want a single fixture or a full outdoor lighting layout. |
| EV Charger Installation |
| EV owners who want reliable home charging without relying on a standard outlet | Washington leads the country in EV adoption, and home charging is quickly moving from a convenience to a necessity. We assess your panel first and upgrade it if needed. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular |
| homes adding EV chargers, battery backup, or high-draw appliances on undersized service | Every upgrade starts with a load calculation so the new panel is properly sized for current and future demand. We pull the permit and handle the inspection. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection |
| homes with sensitive electronics or properties in areas prone to grid fluctuations during storm season | A single voltage spike can damage appliances and home systems in seconds. Panel-level protection catches surges before they reach your devices. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| any homeowner or business with an unexplained electrical problem | We start with a thorough diagnostic before recommending any repair, so you know exactly what the issue is before anything gets replaced. |
| Standby Battery for Outages |
| homeowners who want backup power for essential circuits during grid outages | We wire the system so the switchover from grid to battery is automatic and clean. The goal is a setup that works when the grid does not. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation |
| remodels, additions, and older homes with wiring that no longer meets code | Many Everett-area homes were built decades ago and still have wiring that was never designed for modern electrical loads. A full assessment tells you where things stand. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| rooms with or without existing wiring in place | Installing a ceiling fan where no wiring exists is a common job. We run the circuit and add the switch so the install is clean and code-compliant. |
| Hot-Tub Circuits |
| homeowners adding a hot tub or spa to an existing property | Hot tubs require a dedicated circuit with GFCI protection and a proper disconnect. We handle the wiring to code so the installation is safe from the start. |
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.
