Venture Electric - Seattle's Qualified Electrical Repair

Our electrical inspection is a thorough safety check tailored to older Seattle homes. We examine your main service panel for capacity and wear, test outlets for proper grounding and GFCI protection—crucial in damp areas—check wiring for outdated materials like knob-and-tube, and assess the overall system's ability to handle modern electrical loads. This helps us identify potential hazards like improper grounding, which is common here, and provide a clear report with prioritized recommendations.

Absolutely. We frequently repair and restore vintage light fixtures found in Seattle's historic homes. Our team can safely rewire the fixture, replace damaged sockets, and ensure it's properly grounded and mounted. We'll give you an honest assessment—often, repairing a quality vintage fixture is more cost-effective and preserves your home's character. If replacement is needed, we can help you choose a new fixture and handle the full installation.

This is a very common issue we address in Seattle homes. Our approach is safety-first. We start by tracing and assessing any non-professional wiring, junction boxes, or installations. We identify code violations and potential hazards, such as overloaded circuits or improper connections. Then, we systematically correct these issues, bringing the work up to current National Electrical Code and Seattle-specific standards. We ensure everything is permitted and inspected as required, giving you peace of mind that your home's electrical system is safe and reliable.
