Generator Hookups in Sammamish: what's different here
Plateau homes from the 1980s and 1990s usually have 150 or 200-amp service, but adding an EV charger and a heat pump together still calls for a load calculation. Many Sammamish homes have the gas service for a standby generator. We size it, install the transfer switch and handle the permits.
Permits and inspections
A transfer switch or generator inlet is permitted electrical work. Sammamish runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through the City of Sammamish rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
Utilities
Electric service in Sammamish is provided by PSE. For panel, meter and service work we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with the utility for you.
