Backup Power System Design in Shoreline, WA

Yes, we design and install backup power systems for Shoreline residential properties. We assess your panel, size the system to your load, and connect a transfer switch to the right circuits.

We calculate the size based on a load assessment of your specific circuits and appliances. A Shoreline home with electric heat, a sump pump, and medical equipment will need a different capacity than one with only basic lighting needs.

Not always, but we inspect your panel as part of the design process to confirm it can support a transfer switch safely. If an upgrade is needed, we let you know before any work begins.

We recommend prioritizing heating, refrigeration, lighting, and any medical or sump pump circuits first. Shoreline's wet winters make sump pump coverage especially practical for homes with crawl spaces or basements.

The right choice depends on your load size, fuel access, and how long outages typically last in your part of Shoreline. We walk you through both options during the design consultation so you can decide based on your home's actual needs.

Yes, a transfer switch is required to safely connect a backup system to your home's panel. It prevents backfeed onto Seattle City Light lines and protects your appliances when power is restored.
