Older electrical systems weren’t built for today’s homes. In Spokane Valley, our licensed electricians updated the service equipment and completed a few targeted improvements to deliver safer, more reliable power—inside and out.

The Job Overview

  • Location: Spokane Valley, WA
  • Scope: Service equipment upgrades (mast/weatherhead, meter/disconnect), panel work, and minor outlet/grounding improvements
  • Why it mattered: Properly sized and installed service equipment, secure mast/meter mounting, compliant grounding/bonding, and protected outlets improve safety and reliability.

What We Found

During our electrical inspection we identified several opportunities to improve safety and reliability:

  • Service equipment and exterior hardware needed refreshing and secure mounting.
  • The indoor panel benefited from organization and clear labeling.
  • Grounding/bonding connections and a garage opener outlet required attention.

  • Organized and labeled circuits at the indoor panel.
