Machias Power and Plumbing, a licensed and insured residential electrical and plumbing contractor based in Snohomish, Washington, has expanded its service offerings to include electric vehicle (EV) charger installation and 24/7 emergency response for both electrical and plumbing issues. The expansion, announced August 1, 2026, is a direct response to increasing requests from local homeowners seeking a contractor capable of handling both trades under one roof.
The company, which has served Snohomish County for over two decades, now offers a comprehensive lineup of services including 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 region. Proper installation requires a licensed electrician to assess panel capacity, run dedicated circuits, and meet local code requirements—work that carries significant safety and permitting implications if attempted independently. Machias Power and Plumbing performs these installations as permitted electrical work, ensuring that completed systems meet code and are eligible for any applicable utility or insurance documentation.
With more than 20 years of experience serving residential customers in and around Snohomish, the company brings local knowledge of housing stock, utility infrastructure, and permitting processes. This familiarity allows technicians to scope and complete projects efficiently, whether it's a routine service call or a complex installation. For residential plumbing Snohomish County homeowners need handled quickly, the company now operates on a 24/7 emergency basis, addressing 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 the 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 critical for safety-sensitive work such as EV charger installation and electrical panel service. Unpermitted or improperly performed electrical work can void homeowner's insurance coverage 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, providing homeowners with a single point of contact regardless of which system requires attention. For those 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.
