Machias Power and Plumbing, a licensed residential electrical and plumbing contractor in Snohomish County, Washington, has announced an expansion of its service offerings. The company now provides electric vehicle (EV) charger installation and round-the-clock emergency plumbing services to homeowners across the region. This move comes in response to increasing requests from local residents for a single, licensed contractor capable of handling both electrical and plumbing work, according to a company announcement.
As an established electrician in Snohomish, WA, with more than two decades of experience, Machias Power and Plumbing has broadened its residential service lineup to include panel upgrades, outlet and wiring work, EV charger installation, water heater service, drain repair, fixture replacement, and leak detection. All work is performed by technicians who are licensed and insured under Washington State requirements, ensuring compliance with local codes and safety standards.
The addition of EV charger installation is particularly timely, given the growing number of electric vehicle owners in the county. Proper installation requires a licensed electrician to assess panel capacity, run dedicated circuits, and meet local code requirements—work that carries significant safety and permitting implications for homeowners who attempt to do it themselves. Machias Power and Plumbing performs these installations as permitted electrical work, ensuring the completed system meets code and is eligible for any applicable utility or insurance documentation.
With over 20 years of experience serving residential customers in and around Snohomish, the company brings a deep familiarity with local housing stock, utility infrastructure, and permitting processes. This local expertise is crucial for accurately scoping and completing projects, whether they involve routine maintenance or complex installations. For residential plumbing needs in Snohomish County, the company now operates on a 24/7 emergency basis, addressing burst pipes, failed water heaters, and sudden drainage failures without delay. The same emergency availability extends to electrical issues, including outages, tripped panels, and wiring faults that could compromise home safety.
Operating as both a licensed electrician and a plumbing contractor in Washington State requires meeting separate bonding and insurance requirements for each trade. Machias Power and Plumbing holds credentials for both, which simplifies the process for homeowners who need work done across both systems—eliminating the need to coordinate between separate contractors or manage multiple project timelines. This is especially important for safety-sensitive work such as EV charger installation and electrical panel service, where unpermitted or improperly performed work can void homeowner's insurance coverage and create hidden hazards. By completing work to licensed, permitted standards, the company ensures that projects are documented and inspectable.
The expanded services are available to residential customers across Snohomish County, with the company based in Machias and serving surrounding communities. The 24/7 emergency line covers both electrical and plumbing calls, giving homeowners a single point of contact for urgent issues. For those considering upcoming electrical or plumbing projects—including EV charger installation ahead of a vehicle purchase—the combination of multi-trade licensing, local tenure, and around-the-clock availability positions Machias Power and Plumbing as a practical option within the county.
