FAQ
Questions, Answered
Everything Snohomish County homeowners and business owners ask us most.
Book an Appointment
Tell us the best time to reach you and we'll confirm.
Are you licensed and insured in Washington State?
Yes. Trim City Electric, LLC is a licensed, bonded and insured Washington electrical contractor. Our contractor license number is TRIMCCE746KG, and it appears on every estimate and invoice we send.
Which areas do you serve?
We serve all of Snohomish County, including Everett, Mukilteo, Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Marysville, Lake Stevens, Snohomish and Edmonds. If you're just outside those cities, call us — we'll let you know honestly whether we can help.
Do you offer emergency electrical service?
Yes. We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you smell burning, see sparks, or have lost power to part of your home, shut off the affected breaker and call us immediately at 808-282-4488.
How much does an electrical service call cost?
We quote flat-rate pricing before any work starts, so you approve the number in advance. There are no surprise hourly charges added at the end of the job.
Do I need a permit for my electrical work?
Most panel upgrades, new circuits, service changes and rewires require a permit. We pull permits and coordinate inspections with the City of Everett, Snohomish County and Washington L&I so you don't have to.
Can you install an EV charger at my home?
Absolutely. We evaluate your existing panel capacity, run a dedicated 240V circuit, and install Level 2 chargers for all major brands — a common request across Mill Creek, Mukilteo and Everett.
My breakers keep tripping. Is that dangerous?
A breaker tripping occasionally under heavy load is normal. Repeated tripping usually signals an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker or a short — all worth diagnosing before they become a fire risk.
How soon can you come out?
Most non-emergency appointments are scheduled within a few business days, and we hold same-day slots for urgent calls. Book online and we'll confirm one of your preferred times.
