Sound Power: Puget Sound's Go-To Team for Backup Power, EV Charging, and Smarter Home Energy

If you live in Western Washington, you already know the deal: storms, outages, and unpredictable weather aren't "rare events" - they're part of the operating environment. Add in the modern home's growing electrical demand (EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs, smart panels, home offices), and it becomes obvious: your electrical system needs to be planned like critical infrastructure.

That's where Sound Power comes in.

We're a licensed electrical contractor serving the Puget Sound region, focused on the stuff that keeps your life running when the grid doesn't: Generac standby generators, transfer switches, load management, EV charging, battery backup, and power quality upgrades. Our work is practical, code-forward, and built for long-term reliability - not quick fixes that fail under pressure.

Backup Power That Actually Works When You Need It

A standby generator isn't a "nice-to-have" if your home relies on electric heat, medical devices, sump pumps, refrigeration, or remote work. But generator performance is only as good as the plan behind it.

Sound Power designs and installs whole-home and priority-load standby generator systems, including:

Generac air-cooled standby generator installations

Transfer switch integration (safe, automatic switching between utility and generator)

Critical load planning (so the important stuff stays on without overload trips)

Fuel and site coordination (working alongside gas partners when needed)

Permitting and code-compliant installation practices for Washington jurisdictions

We don't just "hang the box." We plan the system so it starts, transfers, and carries the load the way it's supposed to - every time.

Generator Maintenance, Diagnostics, and Repairs

Most "generator problems" are really "generator neglect." Batteries age out, oil breaks down, rodents chew wiring, and small issues become big failures right when the power goes out.

Sound Power provides ongoing service support including:

Routine maintenance (oil, filters, plugs, battery, inspections)

Exercise-cycle and transfer testing

Troubleshooting common faults (including speed/frequency and voltage issues)

System health checks and reliability recommendations

Service agreements and periodic scheduling options

If your generator hasn't been serviced in a couple years, don't gamble. Get it checked before the next outage checks you.

EV Charger Installation Done Clean, Safe, and Future-Proof

EV charging is one of the most common "simple jobs" that turns into a mess when it's done wrong. The goal isn't just a charger on the wall - it's a safe circuit, correct load calculation, clean routing, proper grounding/bonding, and reliable charging every night.

Sound Power installs and supports:

Level 2 home EV chargers

Circuit and panel upgrades when needed

Load management solutions for homes near capacity

Neat, professional installs that look intentional - not improvised

Whether you're installing your first charger or upgrading to handle a second EV, we'll help you do it the right way.

Smarter Energy: Panels, Surge Protection, and Backup Integration

Modern homes aren't getting simpler. That's why Sound Power also works on the "invisible" upgrades that protect your investment and improve reliability:

Whole-home surge protection

Service and panel upgrades

Subpanels and critical-load subpanels

Smart energy modules and load control solutions

Battery and backup integration planning

This is the infrastructure that makes everything else work - and it's where experience matters.

Local Knowledge Matters in the Puget Sound

Permitting, utility requirements, equipment placement rules, and site constraints vary across the region. Sound Power works in the real world of Puget Sound homes - garages with tight clearances, finished basements, older panels, limited wall space, and weird routing paths.

We serve the greater Puget Sound area, including communities like Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Renton, Kent, Tacoma, and surrounding neighborhoods - and we approach every project with the same mindset: plan it like you're the one who has to service it later.

People call Sound Power when they want the job done once - and done correctly.
