We utilize task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout so you get zero-energy verification before any work starts. We obtain the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to guarantee your system passes on the first review.
NEC & Seattle Codes
Though each project is different, our work adheres to the same basis: strict adherence to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You get designs and installations that meet the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We validate conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document calculations for inspection.
You will see compliant service entrance arrangements with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We follow Article 250 techniques, check electrode continuity, and test impedance to limit touch voltage during a ground fault. We also verify AFCI/GFCI protection where mandated, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring methods, and penetrations adhere to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-ready compliance reports.
PPE and LOTO
Based on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify all energy sources, verify lack 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You retain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices methodically and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You consult 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 precise 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 keep as-builts up-to-date, address red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
Open Costs and Open Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We specify scope and total cost before work starts, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. During the project, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
