What the Visit Involves

Free Electrical Consultation & Estimate

In-person consultations usually take around half an hour and the end result is a detailed, itemized, estimate for you to review at your leisure with no pressure. Here's how it works:

A Licensed Electrician

Not a salesperson. The person who walks the job is the one who prices it, and often one of the people who comes back to do it when you approve.

The Electrical Panel

Almost every question in a house leads back to the panel. A quick look often tells us whether what you are asking for is a quick fix, or a bigger project.

Flat-Rate Pricing

Priced line by line and always up front so you can see what each component of the project costs, drop parts of it, or do it in stages over time.

Options

Repair or replace, do it now or wait until later, where there is a more cost-effective way to get the job done we will give you all available options.

How Does It Work?

  1. 1. We Talk It Through

    You tell us what you want the finished result to look like, and we ask the questions that decide how it gets there.

  2. 2. We Take a Look

    We walk the space with you, open the panel, and take photos and measurements where the job needs them.

  3. 3. You Get the Estimate

    A detailed, itemized price by email, with options when possible. Read it on your own time and ask us about any line on it.

What Helps Us Price It Faster

A photo of your panel with the door open and one of the label inside it. Model numbers for anything you have already bought. The plans if there are plans. And anything another electrician has already told you. Knowing what you have been quoted, and for what, means we can address it rather than talk past it.

Photos and Virtual Quotes

Getting a Price Without a Visit

Plenty of jobs can be priced from a few photos, and skipping the appointment is faster for both of us.

What We Can Quote From Photos

A panel replacement, an EV charger, a ceiling fan or fixture swap, a dryer or range outlet, an exterior outlet: anything where the work and the route are visible. Send a photo of the panel, a photo of where the work goes, and the model number of any equipment, and we will usually come back the same day with a price.

What Still Needs a Walkthrough

Rewires, remodels, additions, and anything that depends on what is behind a wall. Quoting those from photos would mean quoting a range wide enough to be useless. Call (425) 202-5529 or submit the form and we will tell you which of the two yours is before you take time off work for an appointment.

An Estimate Is Not a Repair Call

A free estimate is for work you are planning, like a panel, a charger, a remodel, or a rewire, where we can see what the job is and price it. Something already broken is a different visit. In those cases, finding the fault is the work, so troubleshoots and diagnostic calls are billed hourly with a one-hour minimum. Simple fixes get done on the spot inside that time, and anything larger becomes a quote you sign off on first.

Free, and No Obligation

What No Obligation Actually Means

No Charge for the Visit

Quoting a project costs nothing, whether it takes twenty minutes or an hour, and whether you go ahead or not.

No Upselling

We only price the work you asked about, and anything we find that is genuinely unsafe. No sleazy sales tactics.

Flat-Rate Pricing

What is written on the estimate is what appears on the invoice. If something unexpected comes up while completing the work, you hear about it first.

Yours to Shop

Take the estimate to other bidders. Remember to check that it comes with all of the same scope and guarantees when comparing.

What to Compare Between Quotes

Two electrical bids on the same job are often not quoting the same job, and the cheaper one is frequently the one that left something out. Line these up before you choose:

  • Permit and inspection — in the price, or a line you pay separately later. A quote without it is not cheaper, it is incomplete.

  • Panel and capacity work — whether the bid assumes your panel can carry the new load, or actually checked.

  • Warranty — how long, and how thorough it is.

  • Licensed and bonded — look the contractor up by name on the Washington L&I site. It takes a minute and it tells you whether they are current and legitimate.

  • Reputation — we always do right by our customers and have over a hundred five star reviews to prove it.

If ours is the higher number and you want to know why, feel free to ask. There is often something that was left out, but sometimes due to our high standards others can genuinely offer a more competitive price than we can, so if that is your top priority we might not be the best fit for all projects.

Customer Reviews

Real Reviews About Our Estimates

Donald P.

Monroe

“Kadin and Troy were fantastic to work with. Communication was great from the very beginning which is a big deal for me. Troy was very thorough as we did the walk through and estimate so he knew how to provide the best possible service. We received multiple quotes for our job and they were competitively priced. Kadin and his team arrived on time and confirmed what we wanted before starting. Kadin holds his team to a high standard and his work shows. They cleaned up up afterward and ensured we were pleased and did not have any concerns. I highly recommend In Charge Home Electric and will use them for any future needs.”

“We had an excellent experience with this company. The technicians went above and beyond, delivering very clean, professional work and taking the time to explain everything in detail. We appreciated their honesty in recommending only the work that was truly necessary rather than trying to upsell additional services. They answered all of our questions and addressed every concern throughout the process. A special thank you to Troy, who was incredibly informative from the very first call. He walked us through every step of the project, explained how they would coordinate with PSE, and handled the inspection process to ensure everything was completed correctly. The communication, professionalism, and customer service were outstanding. We are very happy with their work and would highly recommend them.”

“Troy made himself available same day of call on a Saturday, was courteous, clean and explained what he was going to do and did exactly that. A reasonable estimate was provided up front and there were no changes at final bill. I will recommend them.”

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually within a few business days, and sooner for anything that sounds like a safety problem. Many jobs we can price from photos the same day you send them, which skips the scheduling entirely.

Not to quote a project. There is no trip charge and nothing to pay for the estimate itself, anywhere from Seattle to Mount Vernon, and if you decide not to go ahead that is the end of it. Troubleshooting and diagnostics is different work and is billed hourly.

For some things, yes: a fixture swap, a dryer outlet, a fan replacement. For anything involving your panel, a route through walls, or a troubleshoot, a number over the phone would be a guess.

It is better if you are, because half the value is the conversation: what you want, what you have been told, what you are worried about. If you cannot be, we can walk it with a tenant or a contractor and go through the estimate with you afterwards.

Yes, and we get asked often. Send us the quote and we will tell you plainly whether the scope makes sense, what is missing, and what we would charge for the same work. Sometimes the answer is that the other quote is fair, and we will say that too.

We will put that on the estimate, because material prices do move. If yours has been sitting a while, send it back to us and we will re-check it rather than quietly repricing on the day we arrive.

Yes, licensed, bonded, and insured. You should verify that for any contractor rather than taking their word for it. Search our name on the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries contractor lookup and you will see our license status, bond, and insurance.

How It Works

From a Question to a Number

1

Tell Us What You Are Thinking

Call or send the form. It does not need to be a finished plan. “The kitchen has two outlets and I want six” is enough to start from.

2

We Come and Look

A licensed electrician walks the job with you, checks the panel, and answers all of your questions. The visit takes around half an hour for most jobs.

3

An Itemized Estimate

A written, flat-rate, itemized price, with options when possible. No pressure, no sales tactics, and it is yours to compare against anyone else's.
