When to call
Some problems shouldn't wait
Most electrical issues are annoyances. A few are warning signs. If you notice any of these, turn off the circuit if you can do it safely and give us a call.
For anything that smells like burning or is sparking, call 911 or the utility first, then us.

About us
Hi, I'm Tom.
I've been an electrician for 22 years, the first ten on commercial jobs in Spokane. In 2016 my wife Jess and I moved to Sandpoint and started Kettle Creek Electric.
We're a small shop: me, two journeymen and Jess running the office. We answer our own phone, show up in the window we give you, and wear shoe covers in your house. Every time.
On a real site, this spot shows the owner's actual state license number, exactly as issued. The number on this sample, EXAMPLE-00000, is a placeholder and not a real license.

FAQ
Electrical questions, answered
Are you licensed?
Yes. On a real site, the owner's actual state electrical contractor license number appears here and in the footer. The number shown on this sample is a placeholder.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Panel upgrades, new circuits and EV chargers usually need a permit. We pull it, schedule the inspection and meet the inspector.
Can you install an EV charger?
Yes. We check whether your panel has room for a 40- to 60-amp circuit, then install the charger and circuit. If you need a panel upgrade, we'll tell you before you buy anything.
Do you offer emergency service?
For true emergencies like a dead panel or a burning smell, call us and we'll get there as soon as we can, including evenings. After-hours rates apply.
How do you price: flat rate or hourly?
Flat rate for common jobs, so you know the price before we start. Larger projects get a written quote.
Can I do some of the work myself?
Swapping a light bulb, sure. Anything involving the panel, new wiring or new circuits should be done by a licensed electrician, and may need a permit.
