Wiring and Repairs That Keep Homes Running

Full-service residential electrical work for homes throughout the Everett, Washington area.

If you own a home in Everett, Bothel, Marysville or a surrounding area, you already know how quickly electrical issues can go from minor annoyance to serious concern. One moment a circuit trips when you run the microwave, the next you are resetting breakers every other day. Whether your home was built decades ago or just a few years back, the electrical system needs attention when outlets stop working, lights flicker, or you add appliances that pull more power than your current setup can handle.


Advantage Electric provides wiring, repairs, installations, and system upgrades for homes across Everett and the surrounding area. This includes adding outlets where you need them, upgrading panels to handle modern electrical loads, installing lighting fixtures, wiring generators for backup power, and supporting automation systems that control lighting or temperature. The work also covers remodeling projects where walls come down and circuits need to be rerouted or expanded. Every job follows current electrical codes and prioritizes safety without unnecessary disruption inside your home.


If your home needs electrical work or you are planning a project that requires new wiring or panel upgrades in Everett or a neighboring community, contact Advantage Electric to discuss what the job involves and schedule a walkthrough.

What the Work Covers and How It Gets Done

When you schedule service in Everett, the electrician arrives with tools to test circuits, install devices, and replace components that no longer function correctly. Depending on what you need, the work might involve running new wire through walls, mounting a new panel in the garage, wiring a subpanel for a workshop, or adding dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances like electric ranges or EV chargers. The scope varies based on your home and what you are trying to accomplish.


After the work is finished, you will notice outlets that hold plugs firmly, breakers that do not trip under normal use, and lighting that turns on immediately without delay or dimming. If the panel was upgraded, you will have enough capacity to add appliances or systems without overloading the electrical service. Wiring installed during the job is secured properly and routed to avoid future wear or contact with sharp edges inside walls.


The electrician will also label circuits clearly at the panel so you know which breaker controls which part of the house. If older wiring is found during the job, you will receive a clear explanation of what needs attention and why. Some homes in the area still have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that should be evaluated before adding load or finishing walls.

Questions homeowners usually ask before scheduling

These are the questions that come up most often when homeowners are planning electrical work or trying to understand what a repair or upgrade will involve.

How long does it take to upgrade a panel?
Most panel upgrades take four to eight hours depending on the size of the service and how many circuits need to be moved. You will need to plan for a few hours without power while the new panel is connected and tested.
What happens if you find old wiring during the job?
If older wiring is uncovered, the electrician will explain what it is, where it runs, and whether it needs to be replaced based on current code and safety standards. You will decide whether to address it immediately or plan for future work.
Why do breakers trip when multiple appliances run at once?
This usually means the circuit is overloaded or shared by too many devices. Adding a dedicated circuit or upgrading the panel gives each appliance the power it needs without tripping other breakers.
What does it cost to add outlets in a room?
Cost depends on how many outlets you need, whether wire can be fished through existing walls, and how far the new outlets are from the panel. Most installations are priced after a walkthrough so nothing is estimated without seeing the space.
How do you know if a home needs rewiring?
Signs include frequently tripping breakers, outlets that feel warm, flickering lights, or visible damage to wire insulation. Homes built before 1970 in Everett often benefit from partial or full rewiring during remodels or resales.

Advantage Electric works with homeowners throughout Everett to plan and complete electrical projects that improve safety, add capacity, and support how you actually use your home.
