A 1903 downtown with the systems to prove it
Arlington incorporated in 1903 where the forks of the Stillaguamish River meet, and its Old Town core still holds dozens of buildings that predate 1950 — some from 1915 or earlier — lining Olympic Avenue's storefront blocks. The houses on the streets around it grew up the same way: layer by layer, so a single home can carry 1920s cloth-insulated circuits, a 1960s panel, 1980s plumbing patches, and a furnace on its third replacement. Work here starts with an inspection and load calculation, not a sales pitch — then we stage rewiring so plaster stays intact, size the panel for what the house actually needs next, and give you the straight repipe-versus-repair answer on galvanized-era supply lines.
Heat and first-time cooling, without ducts
Many of the core's older homes heat beautifully with ductless mini-splits — no ductwork, no demolition of original walls, efficient heat all winter and real cooling for the valley's hot weeks. Where ducts exist, a ducted heat pump replaces the aging furnace and adds cooling in one project — compare honestly: heat pump vs. gas furnace for Puget Sound homes. Snohomish County PUD rebates come straight off the bid — up to $2,500 on an inverter-driven ducted heat pump ($1,800 standard) replacing electric heat, up to $1,000 on a qualifying heat pump water heater claimed within 90 days — and income-eligible households can stack Washington HEAR discounts: up to $8,000 (heat pump), $1,750 (heat pump water heater), and $4,000 (supporting panel upgrade). We confirm and file everything. See current Washington rebates.
Storefronts on Olympic Avenue, too
The downtown blocks run on the same three trades — and century-old commercial buildings have their own quirks. We handle commercial service work for Olympic Avenue businesses: panel capacity for kitchen and shop equipment, water heaters, rooftop and split-system HVAC, and code corrections — scheduled around business hours and the street's event calendar.
Permits go through state L&I
Arlington doesn't run its own electrical program — permits and inspections go through the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. We pull the permit, schedule the state inspection, and meet the inspector, whether the job is a storefront or a 1915 four-square.

FAQ — Downtown Arlington homes
Our house near Olympic Avenue has wiring from several different decades. Is that a problem?
It's the downtown norm - homes here often carry 1920s cloth-insulated circuits, mid-century additions, and modern patches in the same walls. A licensed inspection and load calculation maps what's actually there; from there we stage replacement by priority, so you fix the genuinely unsafe layers first without redoing work later.
Can a pre-war Arlington home get heating and cooling without ductwork?
Yes - ductless mini-splits are the natural retrofit for the core's older homes: compact outdoor units, quiet indoor heads, no demolition of original plaster. SnoPUD rebates apply to qualifying systems, and income-eligible households can stack Washington HEAR discounts of up to $8,000.
What rebates apply to a Downtown Arlington project?
Snohomish County PUD pays up to $2,500 on an inverter-driven ducted heat pump ($1,800 standard) replacing electric heat - instantly off the bid through a registered contractor - and up to $1,000 on a qualifying heat pump water heater claimed within 90 days. Washington HEAR adds up to $8,000 (heat pump), $1,750 (heat pump water heater), and $4,000 (supporting panel upgrade) for income-eligible households. We confirm and file everything.
Who inspects electrical work downtown - the city?
No - Arlington doesn't run its own electrical program. Permits and inspections go through the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries, and Eco handles the whole path: permit, scheduling, and meeting the inspector.
Do you work on the older commercial buildings on Olympic Avenue?
Yes - panel and circuit capacity for kitchen and shop equipment, water heaters, rooftop and split-system HVAC, and code corrections for the street's century-old storefronts, scheduled around business hours and event weekends.
How fast can you get to Downtown Arlington?
Same-day in most cases - our Everett office is about 20 minutes down I-5, and we run the SR 9 and SR 531 corridors regularly. Calls are answered 24/7 with after-hours emergency support.
