We wear task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work commences. We pull the required permits, coordinate inspections, and provide as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
Seattle Codes & NEC
Although every project is distinct, our work adheres to the same core principles: strict compliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance configurations with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We implement Article 250 methods, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to restrict touch voltage during a ground fault. We also confirm AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring procedures, and penetrations follow listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and code-compliant compliance reports.
PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Building on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify all energy sources, verify absence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment appropriate for incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments verified on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices systematically and securely.
Permits & Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You reference NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You prepare work for each inspection, employing a detailed inspection checklist: rough-in box calculations, staple interval requirements, conductor derating, conduit support specifications, working clearance standards, service disconnect marking, bonding jumper connections, and arc-fault/GFCI protection checks. You ensure as-builts accurate, address red tags without delay, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
Open Costs and Straightforward Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state the complete scope and total cost before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons.
