What We Know About Tacoma Houses
Every city has its own wiring era, its own utility and its own inspector. Knowing them is half the job.
Homes in Tacoma
North End, Stadium, Proctor and Old Town houses date to 1900–1940: knob-and-tube, ungrounded outlets, fuse boxes, panels that have been added onto for a century. South and East Tacoma are 1940s–60s. The usual jobs are repairs, grounding, panel replacement and bringing an old house up to what a sale or an insurer needs.
Who supplies the power
Tacoma Power, which is also the inspection authority inside the city.
Permits and inspections
Tacoma Power issues electrical permits and does the inspections inside its service territory. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
