Electrical Services We Offer in Lake Stevens, WA
From routine troubleshooting to full remodels and specialty low-voltage work, our Lake Stevens electricians handle it all. Every project is permitted, inspected, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Generator Installation
Lake Stevens sits in the heart of Snohomish County, where winter storms and power outages are a regular reality. McCarthy Electric installs standby and portable generators from Kohler, Generac, and other leading brands — complete with automatic transfer switch wiring so your home switches to backup power without any action on your part. We handle all permits and coordinate with your utility for a seamless installation.
Main Electrical Service Panel
An aging or undersized panel is one of the most common electrical hazards in Lake Stevens homes, many of which were built decades ago. We install, upgrade, and replace main electrical service panels — from 100-amp systems to modern 200-amp and 400-amp service. Whether you need more capacity for an EV charger, a hot tub, or a home addition, or you’re simply replacing a failing panel, we’ll get you code-compliant and future-ready.
Remodels, Additions & Rewiring
Planning a kitchen remodel, adding a bedroom, or finishing a basement in Lake Stevens? McCarthy Electric handles the full electrical scope of home remodels and additions — from new circuits and outlet layouts to panel upgrades required for added load. We also specialize in partial and whole-home rewiring for older properties, including knob-and-tube replacement and aluminum wiring upgrades. All work is permitted and inspected.
EV Charger Installation
More Lake Stevens residents are making the switch to electric vehicles, and a dedicated Level 2 home charger makes all the difference. McCarthy Electric is Tesla-certified and installs Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers for all major vehicle brands. We evaluate your existing panel capacity, run the dedicated circuit, mount the charger, and pull all required permits — typically completing the job in a single visit.
Expert Troubleshooting
Tripping breakers, flickering lights, dead outlets, or power that goes out in part of your home — these are signs that something in your electrical system needs attention. Our Lake Stevens electricians use professional diagnostic tools to find the root cause quickly, then fix it right the first time. Don’t ignore warning signs: electrical faults left unresolved can become fire hazards.
Low Voltage Solutions
Low-voltage electrical work covers a wide range of services that require specialized expertise — structured wiring for home networks, security camera systems, speaker and audio wiring, landscape and outdoor low-voltage lighting, and smart home control systems. McCarthy Electric handles the full scope of low-voltage installations for Lake Stevens homes and businesses, ensuring clean, code-compliant work that integrates seamlessly with your high-voltage systems.
General Electrical Services
From installing ceiling fans, outlets, and light fixtures to upgrading switches, adding dedicated circuits for appliances, and correcting code violations found during home inspections — McCarthy Electric handles the full range of general electrical work for Lake Stevens homeowners and businesses. No job is too small. If it involves electricity in your home or business, we can help.
