Electrical work in older Seattle homes
Many Seattle homes were built long before today’s electrical loads became normal. Two-prong outlets, limited circuits, aging panels, and legacy wiring can all create safety concerns or limit what your electrical system can handle. We regularly work on homes that need careful planning to balance safety, code compliance, and practical upgrade priorities.
