Electrician Near Spokane Valley, WA
Give Us a Call (509) 684-8353
Most of the calls we take out of Spokane Valley in October sound the same. The panel is full. The generator will not start. Somebody added a heat pump last spring and the breaker has been tripping ever since.
Our shop is in Colville, up Highway 395. We are not a Spokane Valley storefront and we are not going to write a fake address on a web page to look like one. What we are is a Northeast Washington electrical contractor that has worked the whole corridor for three decades, with our own bucket truck and a crew that knows the Valley housing stock. We are licensed, bonded and insured. We are locally owned. We have been in business since 1992.

Electrical Panel Upgrades
in the Spokane Valley
A lot of Spokane Valley houses went up between the 1960s and the 1980s, and they were wired for that decade. One oven, one dryer, a couple of window units, and a shop light in the garage.
Then came heat pumps, hot tubs, second freezers, air fryers, shop compressors, and now chargers. The panel never grew. The load did.
What does a full panel actually cost you? Not much until the day you want something new, and then it costs you the whole project, because there is nowhere to land the circuit.
We size a replacement panel around what the house runs today plus the next two things you are likely to add. That second half is the part people skip. Paying for a panel that is full on the day it goes in means paying for the same job twice.
If the service itself has to come up, we do that work too and we schedule it with Avista. We have replaced services on properties where the meter, the mast and the underground feed all had to move at once, and the only reason those go smoothly is that the utility coordination starts early.
Home Generator Installation
Near Spokane Valley
Windstorms take lines down across the Valley most winters. Ice does the rest. If your house is on a heat pump, an outage in January is not an inconvenience, it is a cold house within a few hours.
We install manual and automatic transfer switches. Manual is cheaper and works fine if somebody is always home to start it. Automatic is the right answer when you travel, when you rent the property out, or when the furnace has to keep running whether or not anyone is there.
In our experience the mistake people make is buying on generator size alone. The transfer switch and the load list are what decide whether the thing actually helps you. We would rather put in a right sized unit that carries the furnace, the fridge, the well or sump, and a lighting circuit than sell you a whole house machine you will start twice a year.
Get this scheduled in September or October. Permits, parts and utility coordination all take time, and once the first storm rolls through, every crew in the county is running emergency calls.
Whole House Rewiring
Near Spokane Valley
Older Valley homes hide a specific kind of problem. Not knob and tube usually, but aluminum branch wiring, undersized grounds, and thirty years of additions spliced into circuits that were never meant to carry them.
We opened up one property with three overloaded panels and eighty year old wiring behind them. New panels went in, along with an EMP shield, an external switch for the water pump, new 20 amp outlets, and a replacement for a ceiling fan that had already started to burn.
Rewiring a house is not a weekend. Anyone quoting it as one has not opened a wall yet.
We stage the work when people are living there. You should not have to move out to get your wiring fixed.
EV Charger Installation Near Spokane Valley
The charger is the easy part. The panel decides the price.
The NEC wants a Level 2 charger on its own dedicated 240 volt circuit. If the panel has no space left, that circuit turns into a panel job, and the charger becomes the small half of the bill. So we look at the panel and the service before we quote, not after the work starts.
Where you park changes the number too. An attached garage on the same wall as the panel is a short run. A detached shop across the yard is a trench and a heavier conductor.
One more thing worth knowing before you buy. Plenty of Valley households do fine on a Level 1 cord into a normal outlet, because an overnight charge covers a short commute. If you drive into Spokane and back every day, Level 2 pays for itself quickly. If the car sits at home four days a week, it may not. We will say that before we quote it, even though the smaller job is worth less to us.
We check the existing outlet too. A garage receptacle that has run a freezer for twenty years is not automatically ready to carry a car overnight, and a plug that feels warm is a warning worth acting on the same week.
Commercial Electrical Work in Spokane Valley
Business owners along Sprague and the surrounding blocks call us for the things that stop a day cold. Parking lot lighting. Sign lighting and repair. LED retrofits. A circuit for equipment that arrived without anyone checking the panel first.
Our 36 foot bucket truck covers the overhead side of that, so pole lighting and sign work do not need a rental lift and a second trip. We own underground fault locating gear as well, which matters when a run to a sign or an outbuilding fails and the alternative is trenching a parking lot on a guess.
We pull the permit, meet the inspector, and work around the other trades so the electrical is not the reason a project slips.
