Dead outlets, tripping breakers, flickering lights, half the house out. A licensed electrician finds the fault and fixes it — most repairs done in one visit.
Next Phase Electric repairs the everyday electrical faults in homes across South King and Pierce County: dead or warm outlets, breakers that trip or will not reset, flickering or dimming lights, switches that do nothing, and rooms that lost power while the rest of the house is fine. A licensed electrician traces the fault to its source, gives you the exact price before touching anything, and completes most repairs the same visit.
Repairs: King and Pierce County south of I-90. Installations: greater Puget Sound.

The most common fault we find. Backstabbed outlets from the 1980s–2000s loosen with heat cycles and take out everything downstream.
Breakers wear with every trip. One that trips with nothing running, or will not stay on, has usually failed.
A dead bathroom, garage or outdoor outlet is often protected by one GFCI somewhere else on the circuit.
Lights that brighten in one room and dim in another is a loose neutral — this one is urgent and we move it to the front of the line.
Flicker on one fixture only is usually the fixture, the bulb type, or a dimmer that does not match the bulbs.
In 1965–75 homes, warm covers and intermittent faults point to aluminum branch wiring. Repairable without a rewire.

Typical ranges for Western Washington — not a quote. Your exact price comes upfront, before any work starts, and you approve it first.
Same three steps, every job.
Pick the job online or call (206) 486-6373. A technician reaches out within 1 business hour to confirm a window.
We find the fault, explain it, and give you the exact price. Nothing starts until you approve it.
Repaired, tested under load, permit pulled where required, area cleaned. Most jobs done in one visit.
A dead outlet gets the same licensed electrician and the same code as a panel upgrade. Bad connections are how house fires start.
Washington-licensed electricians. Permits pulled and inspections passed where the work needs one.
2,500+ homes across South King and Pierce County. We have seen your panel before.
You approve the price before any work starts. If we find more, we stop and ask.
Every technician is background-checked before stepping into your home. Shoe covers, drop cloths, clean exit.
Anything off, we make it right. We answer 24/7 and real emergencies go first.
Wait is fine for a single dead outlet, a switch that does nothing, or a breaker that tripped once and reset. Call the same day for a burning smell, a warm or discolored cover plate, a breaker that will not reset, or lights that brighten and dim on their own — those are the faults that cause fires.
By the job. The electrician looks at the fault, tells you exactly what it costs to fix, and you approve it before any work starts. If a repair would cost more than the thing is worth, we say so.
Not for a like-for-like replacement of an outlet, switch, breaker or light fixture. New circuits, panel work and most wiring repairs do need an L&I electrical permit, and we pull it as part of the job.
Usually. Our vans carry the common outlets, switches, GFCIs and breakers for the panels found in South King and Pierce County homes. If a part has to be ordered, we make the circuit safe first and come back.
We trace it before opening anything. Most faults are at a box, a device or the panel. When a cable really is damaged in the wall, we quote the repair and the patching before we cut.
