A panel or service upgrade can look simple until permit authority, service capacity, utility engineering or inspection requirements change the job. Preflight the Seattle address before committing the estimate.
Who issues the electrical permit for this address?
Is this only a panel alteration, or a service change that requires utility coordination?
Could plan review, feeder/service size or commercial occupancy change the path?
Which inspection milestones should be allowed for in the schedule?
City boundaries, utility territories and project ownership do not always line up the way a street address suggests.
A project can cross electrical, mechanical, utility or site-review boundaries depending on the actual installation.
Plan review, utility engineering, corrections and inspection sequencing can change when the work can start or finish.
Seattle requires an electrical permit when electrical wiring is installed, altered, extended, or connected to electrical equipment. Some projects require plan review, while many qualifying permits can be issued online without plan review.
Service changes and new electric service can add Seattle City Light coordination outside the basic SDCI permit path.
