Electrical Tip of the Day – When do I need a permit?

There are always important questions to ask and a lot of confusion regarding build permits in Western Washington. I was recently told by one of our clients that it would be nice to know how all this “permit business” actually applies. 

From the City of Seattle web site: “You need an electrical permit any time electrical wiring is installed, altered, extended, or connected to any electrical equipment. As long as the circuit was not altered or changed, and met the code at the time of installation, you don't need an electrical permit to replace:

Snap switches

Fuses

Lamp sockets

Receptacle outlets

Electric ranges

Cook tops

Wall heaters

Baseboard heaters

You may not need a permit for some residential and minimally-sized communications systems”. Now, making that more specific to the electrical world. We are typically required to pull an electrical permit and have an inspection as follows:

Whenever the electric service must be disconnected to do the work

Whenever the electrical meter must be pulled to do the work

When making alterations to service entrance equipment, typically including repairs

When performing total building remodels

When making changes of structural nature or “re-purposing ” of any occupancy

When more than 100′ of new wall is constructed or the construction process is structural in nature

New construction projects / new buildings / new build-outs (which can also require a State permit as well as a local one)

So who can pull a permit you ask?

It can work out a couple of ways. A homeowner or property owner can usually pull a permit for any project they own. In the case of an electrical contractor, the company doing the work must have current bonds in place and current licensing on file (if required) with the municipality or county issuing the permit in order to be able to make application. As I have stated in earlier entries, do you homework when hiring an electrical contractor. Make sure they are licensed and bonded in the State of Washington.

Installing Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Tips with Seattle Electrical Contractors

More and more vehicles are moving toward electricity as an affordable and environmentally-friendly fuel solution. Fuel prices are incredibly unsteady, and having an EV as part of a commuting solution helps separate consumers step away from a reliance on fossil fuels. This opportunity comes with a need to adding a charging station to the home, and though a seemingly simple task in the age of DIY instructions on social media, you will find it’s not as simple as that. The inherent dangers of working with electricity kill thousands each year, as even a miniscule mistake can result in electrocution or fires.

If an EV charging station installation is in your future, do yourself and loved ones a favor and perform a search for electrical contractors who can assist with your project. Focus on seeking someone who knows EV charging stations in particular, so a web search for ‘electrical services Seattle’ with a stress on EV will be your best bet.

What you can do

This doesn’t mean there’s nothing you can do in preparation of any electrical contractors coming to hook up your charging station. In fact, you can save yourself a considerable amount of money by doing some leg work before they arrive, as a contractor will charge you by the hour, not by the job.

Working with your electric vehicle sales person, determine what charging station is best suited for your home and your power source. If you rely on solar energy, determine the best way to add conduit from your system to the location of the charging unit. If you are on your standard power grid, speak with your power company and work with them to ensure a safe shut off/turn on time in which your contractor can perform their work.

Once the unit is chosen and the specifications for installation are worked out, determine the best location in your garage for the unit to go. Generally, this space will be relatively close to your parking space, so any cables aren’t crisscrossing your garage causing a mess and trip hazard. Lastly, determine how your unit will be used- either as a slow, overnight charge, a medium day charge, or a rapid fill for quick turnaround.

Once you have the details in place, get online and do that search for ‘electrical services Seattle’ under electronic vehicles. Your search will result in a good selection of professionals who will do the job you need right the first time around.
