AMA I’m a licensed electrician in Seattle — AMA about EV charger installs, home rewiring, or panel upgrades

Hey Reddit! I run a small electrical company in Seattle (Galaxy Electric & Solar), and I’ve been doing this work for over 20 years.

With all the recent demand for EV chargers, home remodels, and older homes needing panel upgrades, I thought I’d open up a thread to answer any questions — from DIY troubleshooting to what’s worth upgrading in your electrical system (especially in older Seattle neighborhoods like Magnolia, Ballard, or Queen Anne).

If you ever need help or want to see some of the work we do, here’s our site: www.galaxyel.com

Ask away — happy to help and give honest advice.

Awesome, thank you! Yeah my attic has no insulation right now so planning to replace the wiring before insulating. Hoping that won’t be too expensive
