Storm outages are a fact of life around Lyon Creek and the rest of Lake Forest Park. A properly installed transfer switch keeps backup power from feeding back onto Seattle City Light's lines, which protects utility crews and your equipment. We size the system to the circuits you actually want running, such as the furnace, refrigerator, and sump pump.
In the 1950s–60s ramblers under Lake Forest Park's mature tree canopy, many still on 100-amp panels, we also check that the main panel can support the transfer equipment, and we recommend a panel upgrade only when the numbers call for it. Installation is permitted and inspected through the City of Lake Forest Park Building Department.

"I had an incredible experience getting service done from All City Electric. I wanted to have some outlets fixed as well as install a Level 2 Charger. They were easy to schedule a time for an estimate and also for the service. The electrician came right on time for both appointments and was very respectful and sweet. Every team member was very kind and sweet and accommodating. I would highly recommend them for any future service needs you have!"

"I called All City Electric when my laundry room and living room lights would not turn off. If you tried to turn them off they flicker. Then 5 of my outlets either didn't work or things would fall out of them. I finally got sick of it and reached out explaining my situation. The gal that answered my call was very sweet and kind. Even when I called back the next day saying I forgot to write it down and wanted to confirm my appointment day and time. We had a good laugh. She made my day! Today, Kevin showed up on time and confirmed the problem and got to work right away. He was pleasant and kind during the entire process. He answered all my questions. Thank you to the entire staff and owner of All City Electric!! You will forever have my business. Please call if you have any issues. They are absolutely the best to work with!! Thank you again!!"
