Licensed, Bonded & Insured
Total Wire holds Washington State contractor license TOTALWE767JH and is bonded and insured. We pull the required permits, coordinate the utility, and carry the work through inspection sign-off — the paper trail your appraiser, insurer, or future buyer will ask for.
Residential Focus
We keep our work residential and within a defined service area. That focus is how a small, owner-led crew delivers consistent, code-correct results — we see the same kinds of homes, panels, and code situations every week and handle them cleanly.
Straight Answers, Written Quotes
We scope the job, flag any permit or code items it triggers, and give you a written quote before work begins — so you know the price and the plan up front, with no surprise change-orders after the work starts.
What we do
Total Wire Electric is a Mill Creek-based residential electrical contractor working across Snohomish County and north King County. Our work covers the full range of home electrical needs: panel swaps and service upgrades, new-construction and custom-home wiring, whole-home rewires, remodel electrical, EV charger installation, whole-home and portable generators, troubleshooting and repairs, device and fixture replacement, and interior and exterior lighting. Whether the job is a single circuit that keeps tripping or a complete rewire on an older home, the same team handles it from the first walkthrough through the final inspection. We keep our focus residential, which is how a small, owner-led crew delivers consistent, code-correct results instead of stretching thin across commercial and industrial work.
The work we focus on
Three services make up the core of what we do. Panel swaps and service upgrades are increasingly common as households add EV chargers, heat pumps, and other large loads that an older 100-amp service cannot support. New-construction and custom-home electrical is a natural fit for a residential-only crew — service, rough-in, and finish handled consistently from panel to final trim. Whole-home rewires come up on older homes during renovations, when knob-and-tube or early aluminum branch wiring has to be addressed before a project can move forward. Around those three, we handle the high-intent jobs homeowners call about most: EV chargers, backup generators, and the troubleshooting that finds and fixes an unsafe or failing circuit.
Who we are
Total Wire Electric is owner-led, founded in 2024 and backed by 15 years in the electrical trade. The company is deliberately focused on residential work within a defined service area, and that scope is a feature, not a limitation: keeping the work residential means the crew sees the same kinds of homes, panels, and code situations every week and handles them cleanly. We are licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington State, and we treat permits and inspections as part of the job rather than an afterthought — the documentation a home appraiser, insurer, or future buyer will eventually ask for.
Where we work
We are based in Mill Creek and serve Snohomish County and north King County — Mill Creek, Lake Stickney, Everett, Edmonds, Bothell, Marysville, Arlington, Lake Stevens, and south into Seattle, Bellevue, and Newcastle. Each city has its own permit authority and utility, and we handle that coordination as part of the work: the electrical permit through Washington Labor & Industries or the local jurisdiction, and the meter and service coordination through the serving utility — Snohomish County PUD across most of our home territory, Seattle City Light and Puget Sound Energy to the south. If your project sits well outside that area, we would rather tell you up front than overpromise.
Licensed, bonded, and permitted
Total Wire Electric holds Washington State contractor license TOTALWE767JH and is bonded and insured. Electrical work that changes a service, a panel, or branch wiring requires a permit and inspection, and we pull the required Labor & Industries or local permits as part of the job and carry the work through inspection sign-off. For panel and service upgrades that means coordinating the utility disconnect and seeing the work through the rough-in and final inspections, so the job is documented and signed off. We also take after-hours emergency calls when a home has an urgent, unsafe electrical problem that cannot wait for the next business day.

Panel Swaps & Service Upgrades
Upgrade an older or undersized panel so the home safely carries an EV charger, heat pump, addition, or growing load — done to code, with a clean inspection.
New Construction & Custom Homes
Complete electrical for new residential builds and custom homes — service, rough-in, and finish, handled consistently from panel to final trim.
Whole-Home Rewires
Replace aging knob-and-tube or early aluminum branch wiring and bring the system up to current code, in a sequence that keeps the home livable.
Remodel Electrical
New circuits, lighting, device locations, and the panel capacity to match a kitchen, bath, basement, or whole-home remodel — coordinated with your timeline.
EV Charger Installation
Level 2 home EV charger installation, including the dedicated circuit and any panel capacity it needs — sized to your vehicle and home, installed to code.
Whole-Home & Portable Generators
Backup power for outages — whole-home standby generators and safe interlock or inlet setups for portable units, installed for a safe switchover.
Troubleshooting & Repairs
Diagnose and fix the problems that do not wait — dead circuits, tripping breakers, flickering lights, and unsafe conditions. Find the root cause, fix it right.
Device Swaps
Outlets, switches, and devices — including tamper-resistant and GFCI/AFCI protection where code requires it. The small jobs get the same standard as the big ones.
Lighting Installation
Interior and exterior lighting — recessed, fixtures, under-cabinet, and outdoor — wired and placed for a clean result that holds up.
How a Total Wire Electric project runs
A straightforward path from first call to a finished, inspected job.
1. Tell us about the job
Reach out by form, call, or text with your address, what you are trying to accomplish, and a rough timeline. Photos of an existing panel or service mast help for panel and service work.
2. Walkthrough and written quote
We assess the existing service and scope the work, including any permit and code items it triggers, and provide a written quote before work begins.
3. Permits and scheduling
We pull the required Labor & Industries or local jurisdiction permits and coordinate the schedule, including any utility disconnect for panel and service work.
4. Work and inspection
Our crew performs the work and carries it through the required inspections to sign-off, and we keep copies of the permit and inspection record on file.
