The Center of the Universe runs on two very different kinds of housing

Fremont grew from a 19th-century mill town into one of north Seattle's densest infill neighborhoods. Blocks near the Troll and the ship canal mix late-1800s-to-1920s Craftsman homes with brand-new multi-story townhomes — and the two need completely different work:

Heritage homes: starved for amps. Many of Fremont's surviving old houses still run original 60-amp overhead services — fine for lightbulbs and a radio, hopeless for an EV charger, induction range, and heat pump. A 200-amp service and panel upgrade is usually the first domino in any modernization, and if the walls still carry knob-and-tube wiring, we build a room-by-room rewiring plan around your budget.

Townhomes: shared everything. Fremont's lot-split townhomes share water services, party walls, and sometimes side sewers with neighbors. When a shared line fails, multiple owners share the bill — and in Seattle, homeowners own the side sewer all the way to the city main. We scope shared lines with a camera inspection, document exactly what's failing and where, and give every owner the same clear report.

Old pipes near the canal. Lower Fremont's early municipal-era plumbing means galvanized supply lines and clay laterals are still common. Falling water pressure, rusty morning water, or repeat drain backups are the classic signs — our repipe vs. spot-repair guide lays out the honest decision math.

Gas furnaces ready to switch. Fremont has plenty of mid-century and renovated homes on gas forced-air — exactly the setup PSE's fuel-switching rebates were built for. A ducted heat pump drops into the existing ductwork; un-ducted bungalows get ductless mini-splits. Either way, you gain summer cooling the original builders never imagined.

ADUs, DADUs, and backyard cottages

Fremont's small urban lots are heavily built out with ADUs and DADUs, which means trenching new water, sewer, and electrical through narrow side yards — all three of our trades on one small site. One schedule, one permit-ready team, work the inspector passes the first time.

Homes in Fremont — and the systems that fit them

Pick the property type that matches yours to see which electrical, plumbing, and heating & cooling upgrades make the most sense for how these homes were actually built.

Which home is yours?

Built 1900-1939. Original Fremont bungalows on the hillside - knob-and-tube remnants, clay side sewers (often shared), and no ducts.

Not sure which fits? Call (206) 970-1031 and we’ll match the right system to your Fremont home — no guesswork.

FAQ — Fremont homes

My Fremont house still has a 60-amp service. What can it actually run?

Not much by modern standards - a 60-amp service predates EV chargers, induction ranges, heat pumps, and most of today's kitchens. A load calculation confirms it, and a 200-amp service and panel upgrade is the standard fix. We handle the utility coordination and permits.

Our townhome shares a side sewer with the neighbors. Who pays when it fails?

In Seattle, homeowners own the side sewer to the city main, and when a shared line fails the connected owners share responsibility for the shared section. We camera-scope the line, document exactly where the failure sits, and give every owner the same written findings so the cost conversation is based on facts.

Can a heat pump really replace my gas furnace in Fremont?

Yes. If your home has forced-air ducts, a ducted heat pump drops into the existing system and both heats and cools. Homes without ducts use ductless mini-splits. PSE offers fuel-switching rebates for qualifying gas-to-heat-pump conversions - we confirm current eligibility and handle the paperwork.

We're building a DADU on a small Fremont lot. What utilities work is involved?

A DADU typically needs new electrical capacity (often a service upgrade plus a subpanel), water and sewer connections trenched through the side yard, and its own right-sized heating and cooling. Having one licensed team for all three trades keeps the trenching, inspections, and schedule coordinated.

Why is my water pressure dropping in an older Fremont home?

The usual culprit is original galvanized steel supply piping, which corrodes shut from the inside over decades. Rusty morning water and pressure loss at multiple fixtures are the telltale signs. A repipe in PEX or copper solves it permanently; we can scope whether a spot repair buys you time first.
