Energized Electric Inc.

Recent state electrical permits show the range. There's a new bus garage in Almira, a new elementary school in Wapato, a coroner's office building in Moses Lake, school systems and power distribution upgrades in Cusick, and new construction on a church in Cheney. In Spokane, one job moved a building from an 800-amp to a 1,200-amp service and added a generator. Public work goes back to 2003, mostly as a subcontractor, for the City of Spokane, Spokane, Central Valley and Mead school districts, and Washington State, Central Washington and Eastern Washington universities. The state insures a crew in the 51-to-75 range, with classes for building wiring, underground conduit and project management. The firm dates to 1994 and uses apprentices. This shop fits big builds where power, low-voltage and life-safety systems need to come together under one electrical contractor. It also suits generator, UPS and solar installs on new or existing buildings, and the company advertises around-the-clock service for outages and troubleshooting. A small lighting swap or a straight home remodel is a different scale from what most of the crew does day to day. The company describes itself as family-owned and locally operated, and says it guarantees its workmanship and equipment. The state lists Paul Canter as a principal since 1980, and Eric Martin, Josh Cornwell and Tyler Cavanaugh since 2025. Electrical demand in Spokane follows the construction calendar. Commercial and school projects bid in late winter and spring and build through summer, when districts want work finished before classes return. That's when larger electrical firms are most committed. Residential owners planning a service upgrade, generator or solar tie-in do well to start talking in winter, so utility coordination and permits are settled before the busy season. Generator work is worth booking before the first cold snap, when outage worries send everyone calling at once.
