Aluminum Wiring in West Seattle Home
We received a phone call from one of our Angie's List customers, they wanted to first take advantage of our free estimate process and hopefully find a Seattle Electrical contractor to work with to remove all of the aluminum wiring in the home. Seatown Electric provided a comprehensive walk through and a prompt proposal for the work that was needed. Seatown Electric provides a quick 24 hour turn around on all estimates. The estimate came in at an affortable budget for the homeowner. The job consisted of changing out old aluminum wiring with new copper wiring. There was two options that our homeowner was left with. Option one did not end up meeting the overall budget becuase it would require rewiring all of the outlets. However there is a way to reduce the dangers of aluminum wiring by eliminating the connection points (the outlet/switch or light fixture screws) Most home fires due to aluminum wiring happen at the outlet/switch connection point. You can extent, convert or Pigtail the aluminum wire at each device down to copper wire using alumiconn connectors you can click the link for more info on Alumiconn connectors: http://www.kinginnovation.com/category-pages/electrical-landing.php The King innovation connectors are ideal for pigtailing to copper wire. And they are one of the few connectors that are Approved by the Consumer Products Safety Commission The homeowner decided this was the way to go. All and all it took 3 total days to complete. New pigtails where installed and new Tamper Resistant outlets too. Since we had to replace all of the outlets AFCI protection was required to all of the circuits that we tampred with. The project went smooth from start to finish. Another satified Seatown Electric customer, and another Seattle electrical project completed! for more information please visit our website www.seatownelectric.com

Standby Generator hookup Seattle electrical contractors
There are two types of generator systems that SeaTown Electric installs. The first is a standby home generator. This will keep your power on during an outage. It’s installed outside your house (like an AC unit) and comes on automatically whether you’re home or away. All within seconds of a power outage. Plus home generators run on propane or natural gas so there’s no refueling.
So how does it work? Its simple. Your automatic transfer switch (ATS) monitors the electricity coming from the utility. It's working 24/7 to protect your home. This device can be located exterior or interior. When the power fails or incoming voltage drops to brown out levels the ATS recognizes the power failure and prompts the generator to turn on. This system is designed for the consumer who does not want the hassle of wheeling out a portable generator, refueling it and maintaining it throughout the seasons. The Kohler generator is preferred by SeaTown Electric for various reasons, warrantee, consumer reports, and quality. It also has capability of remote monitoring through a very simple to use app. This generator runs automatic and flawless.
The second option for power restoration is the portable option. This system is 100% manual. When the power goes out you would wheel out your portable generator, plug it in, activate your interlock kit, start the generator and choose the circuits you want to turn on. When choosing the size of a generator, we recommend a 5,000-10,000 watt (or 5kw-10kw) for portable generators. If it is a standby automatic system we recommend 14,000-20,000 watt (or 14kw-20kw). You can purchase both option directly through SeaTown Electric www.seatownelectric.com SeaTown electric is your go to Seattle Electrical Contractor
