More About Electrical Services in Burien, WA

Professional Electrical Services in Burien

Burien sits on the bluff overlooking Puget Sound, with the city stretching from the Boulevard Park line south to the Normandy Park boundary and east toward the Sea-Tac fence line. Konsker Electric is fully licensed, bonded, and insured through Washington State L&I and has served Burien for more than 20 years — the original Olde Burien bungalows around 152nd and Ambaum, the mid-century ramblers in the Three Tree Point and Shorewood neighborhoods, the hillside homes along Marine View Drive SW, and the commercial and small-multifamily TI work along the revitalized 152nd Street and Ambaum Boulevard SW corridors near Burien Town Square. Every job is permitted through the City of Burien and inspected before final sign-off.

The city's housing stock is genuinely diverse. The original Olde Burien neighborhood north of 152nd has 1920s and 1930s bungalows with original cloth-insulated wiring, ungrounded receptacles, and Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that insurance carriers now flag during binder writing. The Shorewood and Three Tree Point areas are predominantly 1950s and 1960s ramblers and split-levels — many on the original 100-amp services that no longer support modern loads. And the new mixed-use development around Town Square is driving a steady stream of commercial TIs for restaurants, breweries, and retail tenants.

Salt air from Puget Sound affects exterior electrical work on the western and bluff-facing properties — Three Tree Point, Shorewood, and the Marine View Drive corridor all need copper SE cable, stainless mounting hardware, and marine-grade in-use receptacle covers. Inland Burien on the east side of Ambaum doesn't see the same corrosion exposure, so we spec accordingly rather than pricing every job as a coastal install.

Knob-and-Tube Removal & Insurance-Driven Rewires

Olde Burien's pre-1940 bungalows are the prime knob-and-tube territory in the city. We pull the City of Burien electrical permit, replace cloth-insulated K&T runs with NM-B 14/2 and 12/2 with ground, install AFCI/CAFCI breakers per current NEC, and provide the inspector-stamped final card that satisfies underwriting at Allstate, State Farm, Liberty Mutual, and the other carriers actively writing in the area. Receptacle counts get brought up to current code (every wall over 2 feet gets a receptacle), and kitchen and bath circuits are split into dedicated home-runs.

Panel Upgrades & Federal Pacific Replacements

We replace Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels in Burien on a near-weekly basis. Standard scope: Square D QO 200-amp main breaker panel, copper bus, AFCI/CAFCI on all required circuits, Type 2 SPD at the service, copper grounding electrode upgrade with driven ground rods and water-pipe bond, and new meter base, weatherhead, and SE cable where required. PSE service disconnect and reconnect is coordinated directly with the utility.

Commercial TIs Around Burien Town Square

The restaurants, breweries, and retail tenants opening around Town Square and along the 152nd / Ambaum corridor drive most of our commercial work in Burien. Standard TI scope includes 208/120V 3-phase service upgrades or sub-feeds, dedicated 30- and 50-amp hood and refrigeration circuits, exit and emergency lighting per IBC, GFCI protection on all kitchen and bar receptacles, and ADA-compliant switch and receptacle heights. We file the City of Burien commercial electrical permit and walk the inspection so openings stay on schedule.
