South King County Electrician

[Jeff Davlt]

I’m in Maple Valley and wondering if anyone has recommendations for an electrician to install a HPWC? I know it’s nothing special and any electrician can do it, but just looking for someone who won’t tack on a Tesla tax and who is familiar with the job. Thanks in advance.

I had First Day Electric install mine. Out of the 5 electricians I got quotes from, they were the least expensive (Seatown wanted $1800), had the best availability, and did a great job.

Wilderness Electric always seems to come up in local neighborhood discussions. I have not personally used them, but several of my neighbors have used them for service upgrades and emergency services, and I have not heard a bad thing about them yet. Plus, they are located right near Shawn's, so you can at least make a trip out to get some steaks and pepperoni sticks.

Micah with ELEMENT | northwest PLLC installed ours about three years ago. I have used him for other jobs as well, and he's always done a great job. I believe he's out of Covington, so he isn't far away. His # 425.442.6657

Installing a Nema 14-50 “welder” outlet and using your mobile cable is the best value option.

I’ll have to stop by when I pick up my Christmas Prime Rib next week.

I did want Wall Connector but I changed my mind once I saw it in person. It's really big/huge and charges 11kW compared to NEMA 14-50 which charges 7kW.
I installed myself NEMA 14-50 outlet which costed me $50. I used 60A 2 pole breaker and 6ft 50A 6-gauge 4-prong.

You should change the breaker to 50A. You’re violating code having a 14-50 on a 60A circuit.

Thanks for the advise.
