Shoreline is mostly postwar ramblers on 100-amp services, but there is also newer construction going up near light rail. A new build is the one chance to size the electrical for decades of use, not just move-in day. That means planning for loads the original homes never had to carry, such as Level 2 EV charging, heat pumps, induction ranges, a workshop, or a future ADU, so the panel isn't full the first time you add something. It also means a clean, balanced panel layout with spare spaces.
We pull the electrical permit through the City of Shoreline Building Department, and we coordinate the new service and meter with Seattle City Light. For most new single-family homes we install a 200-amp, 40-space Square D QO panel as a minimum, and we size up or add a subpanel when the plans call for it. We coordinate trenching, conduit, and low-voltage runs with your builder and follow the build schedule: rough-in after framing, then trim after finishes, so the electrical never holds up the next trade.
We can work as the electrical subcontractor for your general contractor, or owners can hire us directly. We lay out receptacles, switches, and lighting for how each room will be used, then finish with a clean, labeled panel and a walk-through so nothing surprises you on move-in day. If you want EV charging, Cat6, or recessed lighting, it's easiest to decide before rough-in, and we'll help you plan it. Call (206) 533-6333 to talk about your Shoreline build.
New Construction Electrician in Shoreline: Your Questions
Who handles permits and the new service for a build in Shoreline?
We pull the electrical permit through the City of Shoreline Building Department and schedule the inspections. We also coordinate the new service and meter with Seattle City Light, which serves Shoreline, so your builder doesn't have to manage the utility side.
What size electrical service do you recommend for a new home in Shoreline?
For most new single-family homes we install a 200-amp, 40-space panel as a minimum. If you're planning EV charging, a heat pump, an induction cooktop, or a future ADU, we'll size up or add a subpanel so you aren't short on capacity later.
Can you pre-wire a new home for EV charging?
Yes. We can install a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a Level 2 charger, or pre-run the circuit during rough-in so adding a charger later is a clean, inexpensive finish. We size the circuit and panel space for the charger you plan to use.
Do you handle low-voltage wiring in new builds?
Yes. We pull Cat6 data, coax, speaker wire, and structured low-voltage runs for security and smart-home backbones, and every run is terminated, tested, and labeled before the walls close. We plan outlet and access point locations with you during rough-in.

REAL RESULTS.
"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!!"
