Licensed Electrician in Redmond, WA

Serving Redmond

Redmond has changed fast. The tech campuses along 148th and the Overlake corridor brought a workforce that parks two or three EVs in every garage, and the older neighborhoods on Education Hill and Grass Lawn are somewhere in the middle of figuring out whether their original panels were sized for any of that. A lot of them weren't. We're based in Woodinville, which puts Redmond about ten minutes away on a good day — close enough that we know the neighborhoods and how the housing stock varies between a 1970s rambler on Grass Lawn and a newer build near the Sammamish River Trail. Marymoor draws people out on weekends; the rest of the week, people are working from home and running equipment that older wiring wasn't designed to carry. Horizon Electric NW handles panel replacements, EV charger installations, service upgrades, whole-home rewiring, remodel and renovation wiring, generator transfer switches, and landscape and custom lighting. We're a licensed Washington electrical contractor — license HORIZE*751JH — and we pull every permit required by the City of Redmond. Residential and light-commercial. Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Utility programs for Redmond homeowners

Redmond sits squarely in Puget Sound Energy territory, and PSE runs rebate and assistance programs that are worth understanding before you commit to a panel size or charger configuration. If you're adding an EV charger alongside a heat pump — which is a common combination in this part of the Eastside right now — the way you sequence and size that work can affect what programs you qualify for. We don't file PSE paperwork for customers, but we can walk through what's available and make sure the electrical work we do is compatible with whatever you pursue.

• PSE Home Heating Rebates (heat pump)

  Rebates for converting electric-resistance or gas heating to a qualifying heat pump — the upgrade that most often drives a panel or service upgrade.

• PSE Electric Vehicle Home Charger Rebate

  A rebate toward a qualifying ENERGY STAR Level 2 home charger, professionally installed, with more available for income-qualified households.

• PSE Home Weatherization Assistance

  An income-qualified program covering whole-home efficiency work — insulation, air sealing, duct sealing, and equipment — administered through county agencies.

• PSE Home Energy Lifeline Program (HELP)

  Income-qualified bill assistance that credits an eligible customer’s account toward electric or natural-gas charges.

Redmond electrical FAQ

+–

Do you install EV chargers in Redmond?

Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers in Redmond for residential and light-commercial properties. Every installation includes a load calculation to confirm your panel can support it, a dedicated circuit, and a permit pulled through the City of Redmond. If a service upgrade is needed first, we handle that as well.

+–

Who issues electrical permits in Redmond?

The City of Redmond issues its own electrical permits through its Development Services department — permits do not go through Washington State L&I for work inside Redmond city limits. As a licensed contractor (HORIZE*751JH), we pull the permit, schedule inspections, and carry the project through final sign-off.

+–

Can you upgrade an older panel in a Redmond home to support modern loads?

Yes. Many Education Hill and Grass Lawn homes have panels original to the 1970s or 1980s that weren't sized for today's loads — EV chargers, heat pumps, home offices. We assess your current service, perform a load calculation, and replace or upgrade the panel with proper permits through the City of Redmond.
