Machias Power and Plumbing, a licensed residential electrical and plumbing contractor based in Snohomish, Washington, has announced an expansion of its service offerings across Snohomish County. The company now provides electric vehicle (EV) charger installation and has extended 24/7 emergency response coverage for both electrical and plumbing issues, addressing increasing demand from homeowners seeking a single, licensed contractor for multiple trades.
The expansion comes as the company, which has served the region for over two decades, broadens its scope to include panel upgrades, outlet and wiring work, EV charger installation, water heater service, drain repair, fixture replacement, and leak detection. All work is performed by technicians licensed and insured under Washington State requirements, ensuring compliance with local codes and safety standards.
The addition of EV charger installation is particularly timely given the rising number of electric vehicle owners in Snohomish County. Proper installation requires a licensed electrician to assess panel capacity, run dedicated circuits, and meet local permitting requirements—work that carries significant safety and insurance implications if done improperly. Machias Power and Plumbing performs these installations as permitted electrical work, ensuring that completed systems meet code and are eligible for applicable utility or insurance documentation.
The company's two decades of local experience inform its approach to both routine service calls and complex projects. Familiarity with the housing stock, utility infrastructure, and permitting processes specific to Snohomish County allows technicians to scope and complete projects efficiently. For residential plumbing Snohomish County homeowners need handled quickly, the company now operates on a 24/7 emergency basis, covering 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 home 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 done across both systems—eliminating the need to coordinate between separate contractors or manage multiple project timelines. This licensing is particularly relevant for safety-sensitive work such as EV charger installation and electrical panel service, where unpermitted or improperly performed work can void homeowner's insurance 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, giving homeowners a single point of contact regardless of which system requires attention. For homeowners 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 within the county.
