Questions and Answers

My Tacoma home has outlets that feel damp or have stopped working, especially after heavy rain. What could be wrong?

This is a common issue in our area, often due to water intrusion or aging wiring systems. Moisture in outlets is a serious safety hazard that can lead to short circuits and fire risks. K O Electric's certified electricians can diagnose the source of the moisture, repair or replace the affected outlets with appropriate outdoor-rated or GFCI-protected models, and check your home's exterior seals and conduit to prevent future problems. We prioritize fixing these hazards to keep your family and property safe.

I'm considering an electric vehicle. Can you install a home charging station in Tacoma?

Absolutely. Our team is experienced in residential EV charging station installation throughout Tacoma. We handle the entire process, from assessing your home's electrical panel capacity to ensure it can support the added load, to pulling permits, running the necessary wiring, and installing a dedicated, code-compliant circuit. We'll help you choose the right charger for your needs and ensure it's installed correctly for safe, efficient charging.

What's involved in an electrical panel upgrade, and why might my Tacoma home need one?

An electrical panel upgrade involves replacing your home's main service panel and meter base to increase its amperage capacity. Many older Tacoma homes still have 60 or 100-amp panels, which are insufficient for modern appliances, home additions, or EV chargers and can be a safety concern. Our licensed electricians will evaluate your current usage and future needs, handle all permitting with the City of Tacoma, and install a new, higher-capacity panel (like 200-amp) to provide safe, reliable power for your household.
