Rural service upgrades
Properties outside Benton City often run long overhead services sized decades ago. Replacing the service and panel is usually the first step before a shop, a pump, or an addition is possible.
Benton City sits on the Yakima River below Red Mountain, about twenty minutes west of Richland, and we cover it the same as anywhere else. Older in-town homes, rural properties, shops, and wine country outbuildings. Benton PUD serves the area. Free estimates, written pricing before we start, and appointments Monday through Friday. Call (509) 205-8146.
Benton City is small and the housing reflects that. In town you have a mix of older homes on modest lots, with services sized for a much lighter load than a current household puts on them. Outside town, the properties get larger fast, spreading up toward Red Mountain and out along the Yakima River, and the electrical work changes with them. Long service runs, detached shops, pumps, and panels that have been added onto rather than replaced. Benton City never had the subdivision boom that reshaped West Richland, so newer construction here is the exception rather than the rule.
Red Mountain has changed part of the picture. The wine region above town has brought vineyards, tasting rooms, and production buildings to the slopes, which means outbuildings that need real power: pumps, compressors, cooling, and lighting on structures that started life as a barn. Outbuildings on a residential property are still residential work, and it is the kind of job we are happy to look at. Down in town the calls are more familiar. Panel replacements, ceiling fans, added outlets, and figuring out why half the house suddenly went dark.

Outbuildings around Benton City frequently run on a single circuit or a cord from the house. A buried feeder with a subpanel, GFCI protection, and proper lighting makes the building usable.
Older in-town homes carry a mix of original and improvised work. Finding the actual fault takes patience and a meter rather than guesses, and we quote the repair before we make it.

See detailsGale Electric is amazing. They worked on a very long and tedious project at my house (installing a new panel, rewiring, etc). They were able to get us scheduled quickly! They always showed up right on time and were very kind. They explained everything they were doing and let us know the quote upfront. Great team of people!
Gale Electric exceeded my expectations. Kyle Gale was able to diagnose the electrical issues that others could not determine. They fixed the issue properly and up to code. Thank you for the peace of mind.
Kyle showed up my house fast as he possibly could and got my electrical panel fixed up within the week. I can rest easy knowing my house won't burn down and that Gale Electric is always available when I needed!
