Eco Electric, Plumbing, Heating and Air serves Browns Point and Dash Point — the lighthouse peninsula at the east entrance to Commencement Bay, at Tacoma's northeast corner — with one licensed team across electrical, plumbing, and heating & cooling. These twin beach communities grew up around the water: a post lantern marked the point from 1887, keeper Oscar Brown lit the first lighthouse in 1903 (the 1933 concrete tower that replaced it is on the National Register and was restored in 2021), and the mosquito fleet called several times a day when summer cottages were the whole neighborhood. The Dash Point Social and Improvement Club organized in 1907, the Browns Point Improvement Club in 1919, and when the hillside neighborhoods annexed to Tacoma in 1959 the area came onto Tacoma's utilities — the beach points themselves stay unincorporated Pierce County, but Tacoma Power serves them too — which is excellent news for anyone electrifying a home here today.

Beach cabins below, view homes above
The points' original stock — summer cabins and beach cottages from the mosquito-fleet decades — still lines the low lanes near the lighthouse and the Dash Point dock. Homes like these carry knob-and-tube-era wiring, 60-amp legacy services, and additions from every decade since; we start with an electrical inspection, stage rewiring to protect the original construction, and keep mechanical equipment up out of the wet on the lowest lots — platformed water heaters, pans plumbed to daylight, sump systems where crawlspaces sit low. Up the hill, the 1960s–2000s view homes need the modern package: panel capacity, heat pump conversions, EV circuits, and surge protection. Everything outdoors lives in salt air off Commencement Bay — so coastal coil options, sheltered placements, seasonal fresh-water rinses, and corrosion checks on exterior panels are part of how we work the peninsula.
Tacoma Power territory — the region's strongest electrification math
Whether a lane sits inside Tacoma's 1959 annexation or stays unincorporated Pierce County, this is Tacoma Power country: the utility itself issues electrical permits and performs inspections (not the city's building department, not state L&I) — we pull the permit and meet the Tacoma Power inspector. The rebates are the region's strongest: up to $2,000 on qualifying variable-speed heat pumps and $1,000 on ductless systems installed by a participating contractor, up to $600 in bill credit for a Level 2 EV charger or dedicated 240-volt outlet, and the income-qualified Tacoma HEAR program — a City of Tacoma + Tacoma Power partnership — can cover up to 100% of a heat pump and heat pump water heater (plus the electrical work they need) when replacing gas, oil, or wood heat. Income-eligible households can also stack Washington HEAR point-of-sale discounts up to $8,000 (heat pump) and $4,000 (supporting panel upgrade). We confirm what your project qualifies for and file everything. Planning numbers: heat pump cost in Tacoma · panel upgrade cost in Tacoma.

FAQ — Browns Point homes
Who issues electrical permits on Browns Point and Dash Point?
Tacoma Power - in its service territory the utility itself permits and inspects electrical work, one of the few places in Washington that works this way. Eco pulls the permit, schedules the inspection, and meets the Tacoma Power inspector as part of the job.
What rebates make electrifying a Points home cheaper?
Tacoma Power pays up to $2,000 on qualifying variable-speed heat pumps and $1,000 on ductless systems through a participating contractor, credits up to $600 for a Level 2 EV charger or 240-volt outlet, and its income-qualified Tacoma HEAR program can cover up to 100% of a heat pump and heat pump water heater - including needed electrical work - when replacing gas, oil, or wood heat. WA HEAR point-of-sale discounts can stack for income-eligible households. We confirm and file everything.
Our beach cabin still has its original wiring. Where do we start?
With an inspection and a load calculation - cottages from the mosquito-fleet era commonly carry knob-and-tube-era wiring and 60-amp services under decades of additions. From there we stage the rewiring to protect original construction and size the new service for year-round living.
Does salt air off Commencement Bay change how you install heat pumps?
Yes - the peninsula faces open salt water, so we favor units with factory coil protection, shelter placements from the prevailing exposure, and put a seasonal fresh-water rinse on the calendar. Exterior panels and meter bases get corrosion checks during inspections.
What about the low lanes near the lighthouse - any special plumbing concerns?
Keep critical equipment up out of the wet: platformed water heaters with drain pans plumbed to daylight, sump systems in low crawlspaces, and honest advice about what belongs above the lowest floor level on beach-lane lots.
How fast can you get to the Points?
Same-day in most cases, straight down I-5 and around via Marine View Drive, with after-hours emergency support for urgent heating, plumbing, and electrical failures. Calls are answered 24/7.
