About electrical in Olympia

Olympia is the state capital, with older homes near downtown and newer neighborhoods farther out.

We serve Olympia from our Lakewood base - travel calculated at booking.

Older Olympia homes can have original wiring, two-prong outlets and crowded panels, so we look at what is behind the cover before we price a change.

Published cost guides for Washington show typical outlet or switch replacement at $150 to $250, light fixture replacement at $150 to $350 and ceiling fan install at $250 to $400. Our posted rates sit below those ranges. Rules on permits vary by city and job, so ask when you call.

Olympia is at the edge of our area, so we confirm the travel charge with the price when you book.
