You wear personal protective equipment aligned with incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout get more info and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You reference NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You organize work for every inspection, utilizing a thorough inspection checklist: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You ensure as-builts current, resolve red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are validated. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Honest Rates and Transparent Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements. We state total cost and scope before work commences, with no hidden charges or surprise add‑ons. Throughout the job, we provide clear, straightforward updates on progress, safety checks, and any code-driven adjustments.
