Give Us a Call (509) 684-8353
The first hard freeze in Spokane finds the same three problems every year. A panel with no room left on it. A standby generator nobody has started since last February. An outdoor circuit that quit in March and never got looked at.
Our shop sits in Colville, about seventy miles north on Highway 395. We are not a Spokane storefront and we will not pretend to be one. We are a Northeast Washington electrical contractor that has worked the 395 corridor for more than thirty years, and our trucks are in Spokane most weeks. We are licensed, bonded and insured. We are locally owned. We have been in business since 1992.

★★★★★
"I needed to relocate and upgrade my service to a 400 amp service to support a new building. Also, the feeders from my house and existing garage needed to be extended through an underground vault. The Floener staff were knowledgeable and professional. They coordinated with Avista and the whole project went perfectly! I highly recommend them."

Home Generator Installation Near Spokane
Wind and ice take lines down across Spokane County every winter, and the big ones take them down for days. If you have lived here through one of those, you already know how fast a warm house turns into a cold one.
How many hours of no heat does it take before the pipes on your north wall become the real problem?
We install both manual and automatic transfer switches. Manual costs less and works fine when somebody is home to throw it. Automatic is the right call if you travel for work, if you rent the place out, or if the furnace has to keep running whether or not anyone is there to notice.
In our experience the size is where people overspend, and we will say so at the quote rather than after the fact. Most Spokane homeowners buying a generator should size it around the furnace, the well or sump, the fridge, and one circuit of lights. Sizing it to run the whole house is where the budget gets away from people, and it is rarely the thing they actually needed.
September and October are the right months for this. Once the first storm hits, every electrician in the county is booked on emergencies.
Electrical Panel Upgrades Near Spokane
A lot of Spokane housing stock was wired for a very different household. Browne’s Addition and the older streets on the South Hill have homes that predate almost every appliance in them. Then somebody adds a heat pump, a hot tub, a shop in the alley, and a second freezer.
When did anyone last count what your panel is actually carrying?
We size a new panel for what you run now, plus the next two things you are likely to add. That second part is where most upgrades go wrong. Putting in a panel that is full on day one means paying for the same job twice.
If the service itself has to come up, we handle that too and we coordinate it with Avista. One customer needed a 400 amp service relocated for a new building, with feeders extended from the house and an existing garage through an underground vault. That job had four moving parts and a utility schedule, and it went in clean.
Load calculations before heating season are worth doing even if you are not upgrading anything. It takes us very little time to tell you whether the panel can carry what you are planning.
Commercial Electrical Work
in the Spokane Area
We do commercial work across the Spokane market, and it is a real part of what we do rather than a line on a page. Parking lot lighting. Sign lighting and repair. LED retrofits. Circuit additions when new equipment arrives. Ground up wiring for a new location.
Our 36 foot bucket truck handles the overhead side of that work, so pole lighting and sign maintenance do not need a rental lift and a second visit. We also own underground fault locating gear, which matters more than most business owners expect. A failed run to a shop or a sign means digging. Locating first means digging once.
For a commercial property, downtime is the cost that hurts. We coordinate with the other trades on site so the electrical is not the reason a job slips, and we pull the permit and meet the inspector ourselves.
Whole House Rewiring Near Spokane
Open the wall of a Spokane house built before 1960 and you will find three or four decades of other people’s decisions stacked on top of each other. Knob and tube in the oldest sections. Splices in places no inspector would sign off on today. Circuits that no two people agree on.
One rewire we did had three overloaded panels and eighty year old wiring behind them. We replaced all three panels, connected an EMP shield, added an external switch for the water pump, ran new 20 amp outlets, and pulled out a ceiling fan that had already started to burn.
We work in stages when the house is occupied. You should not have to move out to get the wiring fixed, and with planning you do not have to.
EV Charger Installation Near Spokane
The panel decides the price on almost every charger job. The charger itself is simple. The NEC wants a Level 2 unit on its own dedicated 240 volt circuit, and if the panel is already full, that circuit becomes the big half of the work.
So we look at the panel and the service before we quote, not after. Nobody likes a number that changes once the work starts.
Where you park matters too. A charger on the near wall of an attached garage is a short run. A charger in a detached shop across the yard is a trench, a bigger conductor, and a different quote.
