Machias Power and Plumbing, a licensed residential contractor based in Snohomish, Washington, has expanded its service offerings to include electric vehicle (EV) charger installation and round-the-clock emergency response for both electrical and plumbing issues. The expansion, announced August 1, 2026, aims to meet increasing requests from local homeowners for a single, licensed contractor capable of handling both trades.
The company, which has served Snohomish County for over two decades, now provides a comprehensive lineup that includes 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 who are 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 growing number of electric vehicle owners in the area. Proper installation requires a licensed electrician to assess panel capacity, run dedicated circuits, and meet permitting requirements. By performing these installations as permitted electrical work, Machias Power and Plumbing ensures that systems are code-compliant and eligible for utility or insurance documentation, reducing risks for homeowners who might otherwise attempt DIY installations.
In addition to expanded electrical services, the company now offers 24/7 emergency plumbing and electrical response. This is crucial for issues like burst pipes, failed water heaters, or sudden drainage failures that occur outside normal business hours. Homeowners in Snohomish County can now call a single number for both electrical and plumbing emergencies, eliminating the need to coordinate with multiple contractors.
The company's dual licensing as both an electrician and plumbing contractor simplifies projects that involve both systems, reducing coordination burdens and ensuring seamless integration. For safety-sensitive work such as EV charger installation and panel upgrades, proper licensing is vital to avoid voiding homeowner's insurance or creating hidden hazards.
Machias Power and Plumbing's expansion reflects its commitment to serving the community with reliable, code-compliant services. With over 20 years of local experience, the company understands the specific housing stock and permitting processes in Snohomish County, allowing for more accurate project scoping and completion.
For homeowners considering EV charger installation or needing urgent plumbing or electrical repairs, Machias Power and Plumbing offers a practical, licensed solution. The company's extended availability and multi-trade expertise position it as a convenient option for residents across Snohomish County.
