Residential and commercial electrical across South King County and Pierce County. Panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators, and more. Owner Zane Phillips on every job — no subcontractors, no surprises.
From rewiring a home to wiring a commercial build-out, Wellson Wiremen handles projects of every size across South King County and Pierce County.
Your electrical panel is the backbone of your home or business. Most homes built before 1990 were wired for 60–100 amps. Today's households routinely need 150–200 amps to handle EVs, heat pumps, home offices, and modern appliances.
⚠ Danger Signs to Act On Now: Frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, a burning smell near the panel, a panel that feels warm to the touch, or a home still running on a fuse box are serious warning signs. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels — common in homes built from the 1950s–80s — have been linked to house fires and should be replaced immediately.
We handle the full job: assessment, 200-amp upgrade, City permit, and inspection. Most panel upgrades are completed in a single day.
Get a Free Estimate →A Level 2 home charger delivers 20–30 miles of range per hour — versus 3–5 miles from a standard 120V outlet. Most EV owners who install a Level 2 charger say it fundamentally changed their ownership experience. You wake up to a full charge every morning.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't DIY or Use an Unqualified Installer: EV charger installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit, proper load calculation, and a permit. An improperly installed charger is a fire hazard and will void your EV warranty. Many older homes also need a panel upgrade before a Level 2 charger can be safely added.
We install Level 2 chargers for all major EV brands. Panel assessed, permit pulled, fully installed and tested.
Get a Free Estimate →Western Washington averages some of the highest power outage rates in the continental US. Wind events, ice storms, and grid failures regularly knock out power for hours or days. A whole-home standby generator kicks on automatically within seconds of an outage.
⚠ The Real Risks of Going Without Backup Power: For families with medical equipment — CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, refrigerated medications — a power outage is a health emergency. Even without medical needs, frozen pipes, spoiled food, and lost heat in a Puget Sound winter add up fast.
We install Generac, Kohler, and other leading standby generator brands. Full load assessment, transfer switch, permits, and inspection included.
Get a Free Estimate →Commercial electrical work carries higher stakes than residential. Downtime costs money. Code violations carry fines. Improperly permitted work creates liability. Whether you're building out a new tenant space, upgrading aging infrastructure, or retrofitting lighting, the electrical needs to be right.
⚠ The Cost of Cutting Corners on Commercial Work: Unpermitted commercial electrical work can result in failed inspections, mandatory demolition of finished work, insurance claim denials, and personal liability if an incident occurs. Always verify your electrician pulls permits — we do, on every job.
We work around your business hours to minimize disruption. All commercial work is fully permitted through the applicable city and county.
Get a Free Estimate →Switching from fluorescent or incandescent fixtures to LED is one of the highest-return upgrades a home or business can make. LED bulbs use 75–80% less energy than incandescent equivalents and last 15–25 times longer. The reduction in energy bills typically pays for the upgrade within 1–2 years.
⚠ Older Lighting Systems and Hidden Risks: Older fluorescent fixtures contain ballasts that degrade over time, increasing fire risk and energy waste. Knob-and-tube wiring — still present in many older Puget Sound homes — is not rated for enclosed fixtures, creating a serious fire hazard if ignored.
We handle residential and commercial lighting retrofits of all sizes. We'll also flag any wiring issues we find along the way.
Get a Free Estimate →Older homes throughout South King County and Pierce County were built with wiring systems well past their safe operational lifespan. Knob-and-tube wiring from the early 1900s, aluminum wiring from the 1960s–70s, and degraded rubber-insulated wire all pose real and serious fire risks.
⚠ Warning Signs Your Home May Need Rewiring: Outlets that spark, breakers that trip constantly, lights that dim when appliances run, outlets that are warm to the touch, or a home built before 1970 that has never been rewired. These are not minor inconveniences — they are fire hazards that should be evaluated immediately.
We handle full home rewires, partial rewires, troubleshooting, outlet and circuit additions, and all electrical repairs. Every job is permitted where required.
Get a Free Estimate →We show up on time, communicate clearly, and do the job right the first time. No surprises on the bill.
Every job is performed under license WELLSWL786RB and covered by full liability insurance. You're always protected.
Zane Phillips shows up personally to every job. No subcontractors, no crew-of-the-week. You get the owner every time.

You'll know the cost before we start. We explain the work clearly and never pad invoices with hidden fees.
After 13 years working in the electrical trade, I noticed a pattern — big companies send whoever's available, rush through the job, and move on. Nobody's accountable. Nobody really knows your home or your business.
That's why I started Wellson Wiremen. I wanted to build something different — a company where the owner shows up to every single job. When you call Wellson Wiremen, you get me. I do the work, I stand behind it, and my name is on the line every time.

Real reviews from homeowners and businesses across the Puget Sound.
Had to upgrade the electrical panel in my 70-year-old home. The estimate was quickly provided and very reasonable. Work was done on time. All communication was excellent.
Had Zane out to install a 240V outlet for an EV charger. He showed up right on time, did the work quickly, everything looks clean. Got probably a dozen estimates and Wellson Wiremen was the most affordable by a mile.
Zane was on time and very professional. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provide great service. I am planning on using Wellson Wiremen again and would recommend them to anyone.
Very happy with the overall service! Zane was very trustworthy, efficient, and did a perfect job to the issue we were having. Highly recommend them in the future!
I got Wellson 2 times to fix 2 issues at my house. He is on time, explains what needs to be fixed, and he is very fast to answer your text. Very recommend him.
I was really impressed by the timing, price, and kindness of Zane and his team. He is now the only electrician I will ever call! I promise you won't be disappointed.
Electric Panel Replacement. Zane's work is professional from beginning of the project to the end. Also very price competitive. Communications: excellent. Whether talking about the bid or the installation or equipment involved, Zane was always available and with the correct updated answers. If he is not completely overwhelmed with work from his 5 star ratings I will definitely have Zane bid on any future projects.
Zane is great! He installed my EV charger cleanly and neatly. Very professional. Highly recommend him!
Turned up on time, got work done efficiently and very genuine knowledgeable guy. Would definitely recommend and hire again.
Zane was professional and efficient. He arrived precisely on time and installed our kitchen island light. The job was completed flawlessly and quickly, exceeding my expectations.
Was referred to this company by a friend who spoke very highly of the quality of service, reached out to him and was immediately contacted back starting the quote process. Have had multiple other quotes for two and three times the amount, but felt that the other businesses that I was getting quoted from were trying to fatten their pockets, knowing that this was an insurance issue. Zane came in honest, humbled, professional, and knowledgeable, and gave me a real factual price, always answered my phone calls and answered any questions that I may have had. In addition, was able to fit me in unexpectedly to help improve my drastic situation that I was already in, even went above and beyond by working on a Sunday so that he can ensure the best results for my negative situation. I can't thank this company and Zane enough for what they have done to improve my operation here at my tire store. I will highly recommend him to any future engagements that I might see. Thank you, Zane for all that you have done. You were definitely a five star.
Zane communicated clearly. Sent over a proposal, we agreed and a date was set. He arrived on time, was courteous and finished the job as agreed. He even took time to go over some other items that I thought I needed but could wait as it wasn't needed at this time. This kind of honesty is what I was hoping to find and will reach out again for more business when the time comes.
Wellson Wiremen Zane has shown up at his appointment today even earlier than expected, all ready to work. He is very polite and eager to help you in anyway possible asking if anything else he can do. When I pointed out a broken light cover and bathroom light not working for some reason, he just took his own time to fix them without any extra penny. He changed a broken light cover after running to Home Depot and paid for it himself and replaced it in a minute. I was really touched by his caring and unselfishness. The way he has finished his job today for me with such dedication and not charging anything extra proved itself what kind of professional and human being he is! I am very happy with his job and feel very lucky to get his service today. Thank you!!
Excellent service! Some very old outlets in our garage were called out by a home inspection to have ground and GFCI added. I submitted a request for estimates using Thumbtack. Zane responded within an hour and got the work done a few days later. The requirements changed a couple times before they arrived but Zane fully understood what was needed. Passed L&I with no issues.
Zane was truly impeccable. Very professional and knowledgeable in his craft. Let's just say I have a go-to electrician!
Zane and team installed an EV charger for us, we are very happy with the work. The communication from beginning to end was great and their pricing was competitive. Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Zane Philips to provide excellent service installing or repairing electrical projects. Zane installed my electrical system for my new designed septic system and completed the job, passing the inspection with no problems!
Zane's work was amazing! He installed our new EV charger and was priced so competitively it made our installation almost free with the power company rebate. Wellson Wiremen is a company I love supporting. Great work and great guy!!
Installed and setup Generac standby generator. Did a great job. Encountered some problems with Generac's computer setup but he kept on it and worked them out. I highly recommend this business!
We've worked with Zane on five different projects now, and every time he's exceeded our expectations. From untangling a chaotic mess of wires left by the previous homeowners to installing new fixtures and even rescuing us after a screw hit a live wire, he's handled it all with skill and care. Zane pays close attention to the little things, always prioritizing our safety and peace of mind. He offers smart solutions that keep us within budget without compromising quality, and he's incredibly reliable, punctual, responsive, and quick to help in a pinch. We truly can't recommend him highly enough!
Zane replaced my old dining room light fixture with a new one and did an excellent job! After contacting him I sent photos and he gave me an estimate without coming to my location. He has the skill, knowledge and experience to be able to do this. He also completed the replacement quickly. I have a lovely fixture installed securely and I love it!
Requested through the Yelp app to have a switch moved. Almost immediately I got five emails, all charging an estimate fee waived if you used them. Later that afternoon Zane from Wellson Wiremen texted and apologized for getting back so late. We made an appointment for 8am. At 7:45 Zane was in my driveway, dressed clean and professional with a smile on his face. Less than 3 hours later he was done with everything, professionally installed and neat, and he had cleaned up his mess. The final cost was cheaper than I had calculated by about $250. Zane is not out to rip anyone off. Great work, reasonable prices.
Did a fantastic job drawing up and coordinating plans to install a generator inlet and interlock kit, natural gas line extension work and coordination with PSE, and adding additional outlets. Pricing was very fair; work was scheduled and executed in a very timely manner. Technicians were professional and all installs were cleanly done with no issues and no mess. Would definitely recommend for any homeowners looking to get electrical and gas work done.
Great company. I used them to install a new electric panel. Zane did a great job. He is very professional and offered a good price. I highly recommend.
Very knowledgeable about work to be done, keeps us informed and outstanding customer service.
Zane is a very professional! Friendly, and easy to talk to! His bid was lower than the other company who came out to give us estimates. He replaced our old electrical panel and added a generator. He spent extra time making sure all the breaker/circuit working properly. I would recommend him to all my friends and family!
Absolutely blown away by the exceptional service from Wellson Wiremen! From start to finish, Zane was professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. They diagnosed the issue quickly, explained everything clearly, and completed the work with precision and care. Not only did they fix the problem, they ensured everything was safe and up to code. It's rare to find a company that combines expertise, great customer service, and fair pricing—these guys nailed it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of electrical work.
He is very professional! I would definitely recommend him to all of my friends and family. I have his number saved for future necessities.
Zane came out and installed a new smart panel with an emergency shutoff, required by the city. He was very professional and took on another job to run some data as well. It was all done quickly and all permitted smoothly and everything has been working great. Thanks Zane!
Personable, professional, easy to talk to, great price, quick response, did the job fast and with great results. Zane is my new go to electrician, thanks!
Zane provided a Fantastic Service for our home. He was on time and very professional. His knowledge about performing the service we needed was perfect. I am planning on using Wellson Wiremen services again. Thank you for your time.
Great service and experience with Zane and Wellson Wiremen. Proactive, great communication and engaged from start to finish. Very pleased with service and work!!!
Zane was a pleasure to work with. A good guy and a good electrician. Zane's bid was in-line with other contractors, maybe slightly lower. I changed my mind about what was needed several times and he worked with me to make sure I was happy with the end result. He also knew what to expect in terms of the permit and inspection process.
My Federal Pacific Circuit Breaker box had to be replaced. I received a fair bid from Zane, and scheduled the job. Zane set up the meter removal and install with PSE. The excellent job was done in a few hours. I am very happy.
Zane did great work, was patient, and demonstrated expertise. He also gave me informal advice on two other projects that I am considering. I would definitely trust him for other electrical project needs.
Solved multiple problems for me and did a great job troubleshooting as well.
I give Wellson Wiremen two thumbs up. I had them installing some recessed lights in the living room and 2 hanging lamps in the dining room, they are very professional and detail oriented and left my place clean when they finished the job. I would highly recommend them for your electrical projects.
Zane with Wellson Wiremen was very professional and knowledgeable. He came out on a Sat and looked over some electrical issue we had and made recommendations to correct the issue. Highly recommend Wellson Wiremen.
Quick fix. I'll recommend!
In the year of our lord 2024 where it takes a week just to get a trade to check a voicemail you left, Zane is a breath of fresh air. I've worked with him on several projects (b2b) and he's been communicative every time. He's also a tradesman that can use EMAIL! Now there's a rare find, someone who answers the phone AND can use email. He has a good quality of work and his turnaround time is good on scheduling. If you need an electrician, this is your guy. Honest work and a level of transparency seldom found now.
Had to upgrade my electrical panel due to safety and code issues. Wellson Wiremen responded with a quote right away after visiting the home and worked around my schedule for the install. Zane was courteous and did the job in the time he said he would. Communication was great and he did a first rate job. I will definitely call again with an anticipated project later this year.
We had Zane out to install a 240v outlet in our garage for an EV charger. He showed up right on time, did the work quickly, and it came out great! Everything looks clean and it functions as expected. I also got probably a dozen estimates and theirs was the most affordable by a mile! I couldn't be happier with my experience, and I'll definitely be a repeat customer the next time I'm in need of an electrician.
Zane was a ROCKSTAR when it came to helping us at the AVHS Cat Café!!! We would not have opened if it was not for his help!!! I had reached out to a number of electricians on our project that either blew me off or were so expensive they were outside of our budget... Zane was fair, followed all his commitments regarding time and performing his duties and did a great job!!! He added several new plugs...fixed some lighting issues we had...hooked up our sign and our exhaust fan... I highly recommend Zane and his company Wellson Wiremen!!!
Needed a 220 in the garage. Zane was very responsive all through the process. Prices were reasonable and happy with their work. If I need an electrician in the future, they'll be the first company I call.
Zane was great. He did what he said he would, in a timely fashion, at a fraction of the price of the quote we got from one of the big companies. We'd hire him again.
Zane took great care and fulfilled all electrical tasks we needed. His work is professionally done and very reasonably priced. I'll call Zane again, I trust Zane and his work. Gary, Kent, WA
Awesome experience from initial contact all the way through the quoting process and installation. Spent extra time making sure the configuration process was complete before finishing up. Highly recommended!!
