Machias Power and Plumbing, a licensed residential electrical and plumbing contractor based in Snohomish, Washington, has expanded its service area and capabilities. The company now offers electric vehicle charger installation and provides 24/7 emergency response for both electrical and plumbing issues across Snohomish County. This expansion is a direct response to increasing requests from local homeowners seeking a single, licensed contractor capable of handling both trades.
The updated service lineup includes panel upgrades, outlet and wiring work, EV charger installation, water heater service, drain repair, fixture replacement, and leak detection. Each service is performed by technicians who are licensed and insured under Washington State requirements. 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—work that carries significant safety and permitting implications for homeowners who attempt to manage it independently. Machias Power and Plumbing performs these installations as permitted electrical work, ensuring that the completed system meets code and is eligible for any applicable utility or insurance documentation.
The company brings more than 20 years of experience serving residential customers in and around Snohomish. This local expertise means technicians are familiar with the housing stock, utility infrastructure, and permitting processes specific to Snohomish County, factors that can affect how projects are scoped and completed. For residential plumbing needs handled quickly, the company now operates on a 24/7 emergency basis, addressing burst pipes, failed water heaters, and sudden drainage failures without requiring homeowners to wait until the next business day. The same emergency availability applies to electrical issues, including outages, tripped panels, and wiring faults that compromise safety.
Operating as both a licensed electrician and a plumbing contractor in Washington State requires meeting separate bonding and insurance requirements for each trade. Machias Power and Plumbing holds credentials for both, simplifying the process for homeowners who need work across both systems. This eliminates the need to coordinate between separate contractors or manage multiple project timelines. The licensing requirement is particularly relevant for safety-sensitive work such as EV charger installation and electrical panel service. Unpermitted or improperly performed electrical work can void homeowner's insurance coverage and create hidden hazards. By completing work to licensed, permitted standards, the company ensures projects are documented and inspectable.
The expanded services are available to residential customers across Snohomish County, with the company based in Machias and serving surrounding communities. The 24/7 emergency line covers both electrical and plumbing calls, providing a single point of contact for homeowners. For those evaluating contractors for upcoming projects—including EV charger installation ahead of a vehicle purchase—the combination of multi-trade licensing, local tenure, and around-the-clock availability positions Machias Power and Plumbing as a practical option.
