Eco Electric, Plumbing, Heating and Air serves Three Tree Point — Burien's beach peninsula on Puget Sound — with one licensed team across electrical, plumbing, and heating & cooling. The Point was a mosquito-fleet flagstop before it was a neighborhood: the Three Tree Point Company began marketing summer homes here in 1903, when the only way in was by boat or foot trail (the first road to the Point didn't open until 1915). After World War II the summer cabins became year-round homes, and today original 1920s cabins, mid-century ramblers, and multi-million-dollar waterfront rebuilds share the same beach lanes.

Cottage-era wiring in million-dollar salt air
A 1920s beach cabin that became a year-round home carries its history in the walls: knob-and-tube-era wiring, 60-amp legacy services, and additions wired in whatever decade they happened. We start with an electrical inspection, then stage rewiring so original boards and plaster survive, and size the new service for what beach life actually draws today. And because the Point juts straight into the Sound, everything outdoors lives in salt air — coils, cabinets, meter bases, and lugs corrode faster here than a mile inland. Coastal-appropriate equipment options, sheltered placements, seasonal fresh-water rinses, and periodic corrosion checks are standard practice on our Point jobs.
Beach lanes, bluff slopes, and water that wants in
The Point's geography splits in two: low beach lanes where homes sit close to the water, and the wooded Maplewild slopes above. Down low, we plan mechanical systems for the wet — water heaters up on platforms with pans plumbed to daylight, sump systems in low crawlspaces, and equipment elevated out of the splash zone on the lowest lots. On the slopes, winter-saturated ground makes footing drains, downspout routing, and sump capacity part of foundation protection. Sea-run storms also mean outages: standby generators — sized, sited, and wired to code — are a steady Point request.
Burien runs its own permits; utilities get verified
Electrical permits at Three Tree Point run through the City of Burien's own permit center — Burien is one of the Washington cities that self-administers electrical permitting and inspection. One wrinkle worth knowing: Burien splits between two electric utilities — Seattle City Light serves most of the city, including Three Tree Point, while PSE picks up the city's southern end — so we verify your serving utility before quoting rebates. For the Point's City Light addresses that means instant contractor discounts of up to $600 on qualifying heat pumps and up to $750 on ENERGY STAR heat pump water heaters; 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, then file everything. See current Washington rebates.

FAQ — Three Tree Point homes
Our Three Tree Point cabin dates to the 1920s. Is the wiring safe?
Treat it as unknown until inspected. Cabins that became year-round homes often carry knob-and-tube-era wiring, 60-amp services, and additions wired across several decades. An electrical inspection maps it; from there we stage rewiring to protect original boards and plaster, and size a new service for modern beach life.
How does salt air on the Point affect heat pumps and panels?
The Point juts straight into the Sound, so outdoor equipment lives in genuinely corrosive air. We favor units with factory coil protection, sheltered placements, seasonal fresh-water rinses, and periodic corrosion checks on exterior panels and meter bases - the habits that let coastal equipment reach its design life.
Where should mechanical equipment go on the low beach lanes?
Up. On the lowest lots we platform water heaters with pans plumbed to daylight, elevate outdoor units out of the splash zone, and back low crawlspaces with sump systems. It's inexpensive planning that prevents expensive water damage.
Who issues electrical permits at Three Tree Point?
The City of Burien - it runs its own electrical permitting and inspections through the city permit center rather than state L&I. Eco pulls the Burien permit and meets the city inspector as part of the job.
Which utility - and which rebates - apply at the Point?
Burien is split territory: Seattle City Light serves most of the city - including Three Tree Point - while PSE serves Burien's southern end, so we confirm your address first. City Light customers see instant contractor discounts of up to $600 on qualifying heat pumps and up to $750 on ENERGY STAR heat pump water heaters; income-eligible households can stack WA HEAR discounts up to $8,000 (heat pump), $1,750 (heat pump water heater), $4,000 (panel). We confirm and file everything.
