Shoreline's 1950s and 60s ramblers were wired before today's electronics and appliances, and many still have two-prong receptacles on ungrounded branch circuits. In homes across Ridgecrest, Meridian Park, and Hillwood, that usually means power strips and extension cords doing the work of missing outlets. It also means kitchens, baths, and garages that may not have GFCI protection where current code expects it. Swapping a two-prong outlet for a three-prong on an ungrounded circuit isn't a fix, and we won't do it.
Where the wiring is grounded, we install grounded receptacles. Where it isn't, we install GFCI-protected receptacles, which are code-compliant and safer than a false ground, or we re-run grounded cable. We install tamper-resistant GFCI receptacles in kitchens, baths, exteriors, and garages, AFCI protection for living areas, and USB outlets, dimmers, three-way switches, timers, and smart switches. New circuits are permitted through the City of Shoreline Building Department, and every device is properly landed, grounded where required, and labeled at the panel.
Tell us which rooms are short on outlets or which switches you want to change, and we'll confirm what the existing wiring and circuits can support before we start. You'll get clean device plates and circuits that are actually safe to load. If an addition needs a new circuit, we'll tell you up front. Call (206) 533-6333 to book outlet or switch work in Shoreline.
Outlet & Switch Installation in Shoreline: Your Questions
Can you install GFCI outlets in my Shoreline home?
Yes. We install tamper-resistant GFCI receptacles in kitchens, baths, garages, and exterior locations. In older Shoreline homes with ungrounded wiring, a GFCI receptacle is also the code-compliant way to make a three-prong outlet safe without a ground wire.
My Shoreline rambler has two-prong outlets. Can you replace them with three-prong?
Only where the wiring is actually grounded. If the circuit isn't grounded, we install GFCI-protected receptacles or re-run grounded cable. We never just swap in a three-prong outlet on an ungrounded circuit.
Do you install smart switches and dimmers?
Yes. We install dimmers, timers, motion switches, and smart switches, including models that need a neutral. We check that the box has the right wiring and room for the device you choose.
How many outlets can I add to a room?
We size additions to the circuit's capacity and code requirements, running new grounded, AFCI-protected circuits where needed so you aren't overloading an existing run with power strips. We'll check the existing circuit first.
REAL REVIEWS.
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!!"
