What We Know About Renton Houses
Every city has its own wiring era, its own utility and its own inspector. Knowing them is half the job.
Homes in Renton
Highlands and Kennydale houses go back to the 1940s–70s; Fairwood and Benson Hill are 1970s–80s. Small panels, 100-amp services, aluminum-era wiring and original 1970s breakers that have never been replaced. The usual jobs are repairs, panel upgrades, aluminum pigtailing, and EV chargers in the newer plats.

Permits and inspections
The City of Renton issues its own electrical permits and does its own inspections instead of L&I. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
