Machias Power and Plumbing has broadened its residential service offerings across Snohomish County, adding electric vehicle (EV) charger installation and extending 24/7 emergency response coverage for both electrical and plumbing issues. The expansion, announced August 1, 2026, responds to increasing requests from local homeowners seeking a single licensed contractor capable of handling both trades.
With over two decades of experience serving the region, the company now provides a comprehensive lineup that includes 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 licensed and insured under Washington State requirements, ensuring compliance with safety and permitting standards.
The addition of EV charger installation is particularly timely, as the number of electric vehicle owners in Snohomish County continues to grow. Proper installation requires a licensed electrician to assess panel capacity, run dedicated circuits, and meet local code requirements. Machias Power and Plumbing performs these installations as permitted electrical work, guaranteeing that the system meets code and is eligible for any applicable utility or insurance documentation. This reduces risks for homeowners who might otherwise attempt DIY installations, which can void insurance coverage or create hidden hazards.
Beyond the new EV service, the company's 24/7 emergency response now covers both electrical and plumbing calls. Burst pipes, failed water heaters, sudden drainage failures, outages, tripped panels, and wiring faults can occur at any hour, and the extended availability ensures homeowners do not have to wait until the next business day for critical repairs.
Operating as both a licensed electrician and a plumbing contractor in Washington requires separate bonding and insurance for each trade. Machias Power and Plumbing holds credentials for both, simplifying project coordination for homeowners who need work across both systems. This eliminates the need to juggle multiple contractors and timelines, streamlining the process for complex renovations or urgent repairs.
The company's deep local experience also plays a key role. Familiarity with Snohomish County's housing stock, utility infrastructure, and permitting processes allows technicians to accurately scope and complete projects, whether routine service calls or complex installations. This local knowledge, combined with multi-trade licensing and round-the-clock availability, positions Machias Power and Plumbing as a practical option for homeowners planning electrical or plumbing projects, including those preparing for EV ownership.
Services are available to residential customers throughout Snohomish County, with the company based in Machias and serving surrounding communities. For more information, visit Machias Power and Plumbing.
