Electrical panel upgrades
Older west Kennewick homes still run small services with full panels. Adding a shop, a hot tub, or a second air conditioning unit usually means the service has to go first.
Gale Electric works Kennewick every week, from the older blocks off Clearwater Avenue to the newer builds climbing Southridge and Canyon Lakes. Panels, wiring, lighting, ceiling fans, added circuits, and problems nobody else could pin down. Free estimates, a written price before we start, and appointments seven days a week, 8AM to 5PM. Call (509) 205-8146.
Kennewick is the biggest of the three cities and the one with the widest spread of housing age. West Kennewick and the older neighborhoods near Clearwater Avenue and Washington Street have plenty of homes from the fifties and sixties, which means small services, two-prong outlets, aluminum branch circuits in some mid-seventies builds, and panels that stopped being manufactured decades ago. Then you drive south to Southridge, Canyon Lakes, and the subdivisions climbing toward Thompson Hill and it is a completely different job: newer homes with capacity to spare, but often built lean on outlets, lighting, and garage circuits.
That split drives what we get called for. In older Kennewick it is service and panel upgrades, grounding corrections, and rewiring rooms that were remodeled at some point by someone in a hurry. In the newer south end it is adding what the builder left out. Recessed lighting, ceiling fans in rooms that only got a light kit, dedicated circuits for a garage freezer or a shop compressor, EV chargers, hot tub circuits, and outdoor lighting. Both halves run on Benton PUD, and both halves get the same free estimate and the same written price before anything starts.

South Kennewick builders finish homes to the minimum. Garages get one circuit, patios get none, and offices get two outlets. Adding capacity later is straightforward when it is done to code.
Kennewick summers make ceiling fans a necessity rather than decor. Many rooms have a light box that was never rated to carry fan weight, so the box gets replaced along with the fan.
