Shop and RV power
Larger West Richland lots come with detached shops and RV pads. We run properly sized buried feeders, set a subpanel with a disconnect, and add the 30 or 50 amp receptacle you actually need.

Local context
Wiring in West Richland is its own thing
West Richland spent years as a quiet bedroom community and then filled in quickly. The growth along Keene Road, Belmont Boulevard, and out past Bombing Range Road brought hundreds of new homes on larger lots than you find in Kennewick or central Richland. Bigger lots change the electrical work. Detached shops, RV parking with 30 and 50 amp service, well pumps, irrigation pumps, gates, and outbuildings sitting a hundred feet or more from the house all need feeders sized and buried correctly, with the right disconnect and grounding at the far end.
The other half of West Richland is older and more rural, closer to the Yakima River and out toward Red Mountain, where properties predate the subdivisions and the wiring shows it. Long overhead runs to shops, panels that were never meant to carry a modern load, and additions that were wired informally over the years. Much of West Richland and the surrounding rural area is served by Benton REA rather than a city utility, which matters when you are coordinating a service change or a new meter on a property that has never had one.

What West Richland homeowners call us for
New construction add-ons
Homes off Keene Road and Belmont are finished lean. Recessed lighting, ceiling fans, garage circuits, and outdoor lighting are almost always the second phase, and they are easier before the walls get painted twice.
Well and irrigation circuits
Rural West Richland properties run pumps that need dedicated circuits, correct disconnects, and weather-rated enclosures. A failed pump circuit in July is not something that can wait a week.

Panel & rewire
Gale 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!

FAQ
Electrical work in West Richland
Do you actually serve West Richland, WA?
Yes. Gale Electric works throughout West Richland and the surrounding Tri-Cities area from our base in Richland. Call (509) 205-8146 and we will tell you the soonest we can get out to look at the job.
Is an electrical permit required for work in West Richland?
Most electrical work beyond simple like-for-like device swaps requires a permit and an inspection in Washington. Permitting is handled by the Washington Department of Labor and Industries in most of Benton and Franklin County, while the City of Richland runs its own electrical inspection program inside city limits. We pull the permit as part of the job and meet the inspector.
What does an estimate cost in West Richland?
Estimates are free. We come out, look at the actual conditions, and give you a written price before any work begins. That price is the price you pay.
How fast can you get to a West Richland address?
It depends on the day and the job. We are open Monday through Friday, 7AM to 5PM and we will give you a real answer on the phone rather than a vague window. For an active fire or a downed power line, call 911 and your utility first.
