FAQs
What does it mean that Fail-Safe Electric is a UL 508A certified panel shop?
Our UL 508A certification means we are specifically qualified to design, build, and label industrial control panels to rigorous safety standards. This certification, combined with our founding in 2006 and background in marine and commercial electrical work, ensures the control panels, power distribution panels, and switchboards we build for your Tacoma home or business are safe, reliable, and manufactured to established industry benchmarks.
My Tacoma home has flickering lights and corroded outdoor outlets. Can you help?
Absolutely. Flickering lights often point to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a failing fixture, while corroded outdoor outlets are a serious safety hazard common in our damp climate. We start with a thorough electrical inspection to diagnose the root cause. Our services then include expert electric repair, wire repair or installation, and outlet replacement to resolve these issues safely and prevent future problems, ensuring your home's electrical system is secure.
Do you handle both electrical panel installation and general wiring work?
Yes, we provide comprehensive electrical services. Our expertise ranges from complex electric panel installation, repair, and replacement—including custom-built panels from our certified shop—to essential wire installation and repair for circuits, appliances, and lighting. This integrated approach means whether you need a panel upgrade for an older Tacoma home or new wiring for a renovation, you're working with a single, skilled team for the entire project.
