Downing Electric LLC.

The permit record shows the shape of the work. In 2025 and 2026 Downing Electric pulled electrical permits for a 200-amp service at Seven Bays, a 400-amp service with two sub-panels in Cheney, ethernet drops for computers, phones and cameras in Spokane Valley, and a temporary 100-amp service alongside a permanent 400-amp service in Deer Park. That last pairing matters on new builds, where a site needs power before the house is finished. The state lists Randy Downing as a principal since 2019, the year the business was established. This is a small operation, with the owner on the tools and a crew the state puts at one to three people. Work comes mostly through referrals and repeat customers. That suits a homeowner who wants a service upgrade or sub-panel handled by the person doing the wiring, or a builder who needs temporary power set up and then the permanent service installed by the same hands. Low-voltage cabling for networking and cameras sits alongside the line-voltage work. On a Spokane home, the repair-or-replace question usually starts at the panel. Plenty of houses here still run on older 100-amp services that were sized before heat pumps, EV chargers, shops and home offices. A single bad breaker or loose connection can be repaired. But if the panel is full, the service is undersized for what you plan to add, or the equipment is a brand with a known history of problems, replacing it or upgrading the service is usually the better spend. Adding a sub-panel to a garage or outbuilding is a middle path when the main service has room.
