Residential Electrician in Vancouver WA & Clark County
Crown Electric provides professional residential electrical services throughout Vancouver WA and Clark County. From outlet installation and ceiling fan wiring to GFCI upgrades and whole-house troubleshooting, our licensed electricians deliver code-compliant work with transparent pricing and a quality guarantee.
Residential Electrician Services in Vancouver WA
Our licensed electricians handle everything from simple outlet repairs to full electrical system diagnostics. Every job is performed to National Electrical Code standards as adopted by the City of Vancouver and Clark County.
Outlet Installation & Repair
Whether you need additional outlets in a home office, USB charging outlets in the kitchen, or replacement of worn-out receptacles, we handle it all. Vancouver WA code requires receptacle outlets in habitable rooms so that no point along a wall is more than 6 feet from an outlet (NEC 210.52). We ensure every installation meets that standard and passes inspection.
Schedule Outlet Installation →Ceiling Fan Installation
Proper ceiling fan installation requires a fan-rated electrical box that can support the weight and vibration of the unit. Our electricians verify box capacity, run wiring where needed, and install the fan with correct balancing. We work with all major brands and handle both new installations and replacements of existing light fixtures with fan-and-light combos.
Get Ceiling Fan Installation →GFCI Outlet Installation
The City of Vancouver follows the 2023 National Electrical Code, which requires GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outdoor areas, laundry rooms, and crawl spaces. Many older Clark County homes — the average home here was built in 1986 — lack this protection. We install and test GFCI outlets to bring your home up to current safety standards.
Schedule GFCI Installation →Electrical Troubleshooting
Flickering lights, tripping breakers, non-working outlets, and unexplained power loss can signal anything from a loose connection to a failing circuit. Our electricians use systematic testing to identify the root cause and provide a clear repair plan with upfront pricing. We are especially experienced with older Vancouver WA homes that may have undersized panels or outdated wiring.
Get Electrical Diagnosis →Light Switch & Dimmer Installation
Upgrade to dimmer switches, three-way switches, smart switches, or timer-controlled switches. Every switch installation includes proper grounding per NEC 404.9 — a requirement many older homes in the Vancouver area don't meet. We also handle complete lighting circuit additions for home additions and remodels throughout Clark County.
Schedule Switch Installation →Home Electrical Repairs
From repairing a single faulty outlet to fixing a circuit that keeps tripping, our residential electricians solve electrical problems efficiently and safely. All repairs include testing, verification, and a workmanship guarantee. We serve homeowners throughout Vancouver, Battle Ground, Camas, and Ridgefield with reliable, code-compliant electrical repairs.

We understand the unique electrical needs of Vancouver WA homes — from aging systems in established neighborhoods to new construction in the growing suburbs.
Why Vancouver WA Homes Need Specialized Electrical Care
The average home in Vancouver was built in 1986 — before GFCI requirements were expanded to kitchens, garages, and outdoor areas. Many of these homes still have their original electrical panels, often rated at just 100 amps, which can struggle to keep up with modern appliances, home office equipment, and electric vehicle charging.
Single-family detached homes account for roughly half of Vancouver's housing stock, and three- and four-bedroom homes are the most common building size. These homes frequently need outlet additions, panel capacity assessments, and electrical safety upgrades to meet both current code and the demands of modern living.
Clark County also has specific requirements beyond the NEC. Residential occupancies require radon protection and testing under WAC 51-51-R332, and the City of Vancouver follows the International Residential Code with Washington State amendments. Our electricians understand these local regulations and ensure every project we complete is fully compliant.

Common Questions About Residential Electrical Work
Answers to the questions Vancouver WA homeowners ask most about electrical services, pricing, permits, and code requirements.
How much does outlet installation cost in Vancouver WA?
Outlet installation typically costs $150–$300 per outlet depending on the outlet type, wiring complexity, and accessibility. GFCI outlets cost slightly more due to the ground-fault interrupter hardware. Dedicated 240V outlets for appliances or EV chargers are priced separately. We provide free, detailed estimates for every project.
Do I need an electrical permit in Vancouver WA?
Most electrical work requires a permit per Vancouver Municipal Code Chapter 17.16. Exceptions include portable appliances, low-voltage systems under 25 volts (that are cord-and-plug connected), and some like-for-like replacements such as swapping a built-in range. Crown Electric coordinates permit applications through the City's ePermits portal for work within Vancouver city limits, and through Washington State L&I for unincorporated Clark County.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homeowners throughout Clark County including Vancouver, Battle Ground, Camas, and Ridgefield. Whether you're in an established neighborhood near downtown Vancouver or a newer development in Ridgefield, our licensed electricians provide the same quality workmanship and transparent pricing across our entire service area.
How long does ceiling fan installation take?
Most ceiling fan installations take 1–3 hours. If there's an existing ceiling box rated for a fan, it's on the shorter end. If we need to install a new fan-rated box, run wiring from a switch location, or work with a high or vaulted ceiling, it may take longer. We'll give you a time estimate when we provide your quote.
Does my older Vancouver WA home need GFCI outlets?
If your home was built before the mid-1970s, it almost certainly lacks GFCI protection in wet areas. Even homes from the 1980s and '90s may not have GFCI outlets in all the locations now required by code — kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor areas, laundry rooms, and crawl spaces. While the code doesn't retroactively require upgrades to existing homes, adding GFCI outlets is one of the most cost-effective safety improvements you can make.
What other electrical services does Crown Electric provide?
Beyond residential work, we provide electrical panel upgrades (including 200-amp service upgrades), EV charger installation, whole-house rewiring, new construction wiring, and commercial electrical services. Visit our service pages or call us to discuss your specific project.
