Electrical Panel Upgrade in Kent, WA

Konsker Electric upgrades and replaces residential electrical panels and service entrances for Kent, WA homes, from failing 100-amp services in the older East Hill and West Hill single-family stock to 200-amp upgrades sized for heat pumps, EV chargers, and induction ranges. Every job starts with a metered assessment and an NEC Article 220 load calculation, and we replace recall-grade Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels rather than service them back into use. We coordinate the Puget Sound Energy disconnect and reconnect, add the NEC 230.67 whole-house surge device, and file the City of Kent or King County DLS permit with the inspection under Washington State L&I. Licensed, bonded, and insured for 20+ years, with a flat-rate quote in writing before any work begins. Call (206) 260-1981.

200-Amp Service Upgrades for Kent Homes

Many Kent homes on the Kent Valley floor and up the East Hill still run undersized 100-amp services that a modern heat pump, EV charger, and induction range have outgrown. We run an NEC Article 220 load calculation, then set new 200-amp service-entrance equipment with whole-house surge protection per NEC 230.67 and a rebuilt grounding electrode system, coordinating the Puget Sound Energy disconnect and reconnect throughout. See our panel upgrades and rewiring service for the full scope.

Federal Pacific and Zinsco Replacement in Kent

Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels are common in Kent's older single-family stock and are recall-grade hazards with documented failure-to-trip behavior. Neither can be repaired safely, so our standing policy is to replace them, and we explain why in our Federal Pacific and Zinsco panel hazard guide. For the difference between a nuisance trip and a real fault, read breaker box vs. electrical panel, and south-end homeowners can compare our Burien panel repair process.

The Kent Permit and PSE, Handled for You

Kent sits in King County outside Seattle city limits, so we file the electrical permit with the City of Kent or King County DLS with the inspection under Washington State L&I, not Seattle DCI, and coordinate the meter disconnect and reconnect directly with Puget Sound Energy.
