Serving Arlington and Surrounding Areas
Arlington, WA sits at the heart of Snohomish County, and McCarthy Electric proudly serves the entire city and the communities around it — including Smokey Point, Silvana, Oso, and Bryant. Whether your property is in a newer development near SR-9 or an established neighborhood closer to downtown Arlington, our team knows the local building requirements and utility infrastructure.
Arlington’s mix of older homes and newer construction means we regularly handle both aging electrical systems that need upgrading and modern builds that require the latest in smart home wiring, EV infrastructure, and surge protection.
Electrical Upgrades Arlington Homeowners Are Requesting in 2026
EV Charger Installation. With more Arlington residents switching to electric vehicles, Level 2 home charger installation is one of our fastest-growing services. We handle the panel evaluation, dedicated circuit installation, and charger mounting — with all permits pulled.
Panel Upgrades. Many Arlington homes — especially those built before 1990 — still have 100-amp service or outdated breaker panels. We upgrade to 200-amp or 400-amp service to support today’s electrical loads: EV chargers, heat pumps, air conditioning, and smart home devices.
Generator Installation. Snohomish County is no stranger to winter storms and power outages. A standby generator with automatic transfer switch gives your Arlington home or business backup power without the hassle. We install Kohler, Generac, and other top brands.
Whole-Home Surge Protection. A single power surge can wipe out thousands of dollars in electronics and appliances. Whole-home surge protection, installed at your main panel, shields every circuit in the house — a smart investment for any Arlington homeowner.
