The Big Picture

Where this fits in your home's electrical system

Power enters at the service mast, passes through the meter into the panel, and branches into every circuit in the house. Here's the whole path — and where this service fits.

Cutaway of a Puget Sound home's electrical system at dusk Power arrives at the service mast and meter, feeds the main panel in the garage, and branches to circuits for outlets, lighting, fans, detectors, an EV charger, and a backup generator outside.
  1. Service mast & meter Where utility power lands on your home — the weatherhead, riser, and meter base.
  2. Main electrical panel You're here The heart of the system: breakers that protect every circuit in the house.
  3. Whole-home surge protection Installs at the panel to shield electronics from utility spikes and nearby strikes.
  4. Wiring & circuits The branch circuits behind your walls — the runs that age out in older Seattle homes.
  5. Outlets & switches Every connection point — including GFCI/AFCI protection where code requires it.
  6. Lighting Fixtures, recessed cans, and the dimmers and controls that run them.
  7. Ceiling & ventilation fans Ceiling, exhaust, and whole-house attic fans — comfort and moisture control.
  8. Smoke & CO detectors Hardwired, interconnected alarms on every level — the code standard for safety.
  9. EV charger A dedicated 240V circuit from the panel to Level 2 charging in your garage.
  10. Backup generator Standby power with a transfer switch, sized to what you want to keep running.

What moves the number

  • Amperage & capacity

    Moving from 100A to 200A (or 400A) service costs more than a like-for-like replacement, but it's what powers EV chargers, heat pumps, and additions.

  • Code & grounding upgrades

    Bringing grounding, bonding, and breakers to current Washington code is part of a safe, permitted job — and may be required to pass inspection.

  • Meter, mast, & utility coordination

    Service upgrades often involve the meter base, mast, and a coordinated power shut-off with your utility, which adds time and cost.

  • Location & access

    Panel location, wall finish, and drywall repair after the work all affect the total.
