Description About the Service

Custom Electrical Wiring for Detached Garages, Shops, & Outbuildings

Bringing power to outdoor structures isn't a one-size-fits-all job. We size your electrical service based on what you need today and what you might want down the road. From a standard 20A circuit for basic storage lighting to a robust 100A service for a complete woodshop or automotive garage, we ask the right questions to tailor a system that fits your property.

We offer both underground trenching and overhead line runs depending on your terrain, aesthetic preference, and budget. If long-distance trenching is required, we can rent specialized machinery and factor that directly into your quote—so you know the exact cost before we start.

Frequently Asked Questions About Outbuilding Power

Do I need a dedicated sub-panel for my shed or workshop?
right

Yes, we include a dedicated sub-panel inside the outbuilding for every project. This gives you localized breaker control, prevents tripping breakers inside your main house, and provides room to safely add circuits in the future.

Should I run power overhead or underground?
right

Underground wiring (in conduit or direct-burial cable) is usually the best choice because it stays protected from trees, wind, and severe weather while keeping your yard looking clean. However, overhead lines can be a practical, cost-effective alternative if underground obstacles like rock or tree roots exist.

Can I dig the trench myself to save money?
right

Absolutely! Many homeowners choose to dig the trench themselves along our specified depth and route guidelines to cut labor costs. If you prefer to leave it to us, we can rent a trenching machine and include it right in your estimate.

How big of a sub-panel do I need (20A, 60A, or 100A)?
right

A basic 20A circuit is fine for standard lights and charging power tools in a small shed. If you plan to run space heaters, heavy power tools, air compressors, or EV chargers in a workshop, we typically recommend a 60A to 100A sub-panel to handle the electrical load safely.

Is there a maximum distance you can run electricity from my main house?
right

There is no distance limit! We regularly run power to distant structures across large properties in Snohomish and Skagit County. For very long runs, we simply adjust the wire gauge (thickness) to prevent voltage drop over the distance.

Do outdoor electrical runs require permits in Snohomish or Skagit County?
right

Yes. Running new electrical lines to a detached structure requires county permits and inspections to ensure code compliance and safety. Dominion Electricllc handles all the permit paperwork and inspection scheduling from start to finish.
