Panel and Service Upgrades in Kirkland, Washington — Done Right
In Kirkland, panel and service upgrades come up most often in Juanita and Finn Hill, where 1970s–90s homes frequently run on panels that are now full or undersized for today's loads. Permits go through the City of Kirkland Building Department, and the service side is coordinated with Puget Sound Energy (PSE).

A typical Kirkland upgrade replaces a full 100- or 125-amp panel with a modern 200-amp, 40-space Square D QO panel, brings grounding and bonding up to current code, and adds GFCI and AFCI protection where required. We frequently do this work alongside an EV charger install or a renovation, so the new loads have real capacity behind them.
We pull the City of Kirkland permit, coordinate the PSE service side, and schedule the inspection. You get a labeled, balanced panel with room for the next thing you add.

"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!!"
