More About Electrical Services in Union Hill-Novelty Hill, WA
Your Trusted Union Hill-Novelty Hill Electrician
Union Hill-Novelty Hill is the unincorporated King County area east of Redmond, running along the Novelty Hill Road corridor from the Redmond city limits east toward the Snoqualmie Valley and including the Redmond Ridge and Trilogy at Redmond Ridge master-planned communities along with a substantial number of larger-acre rural-residential parcels off NE Union Hill Road. Konsker Electric is fully licensed, bonded, and insured through Washington State L&I, and we've been working Union Hill-Novelty Hill properties for more than 20 years — the early-2000s Redmond Ridge subdivisions, the 55+ Trilogy community, the larger custom homes on the eastern edge of the plateau, and the rural-acre properties on private wells and septic out along NE Union Hill Road and Trilogy Parkway. Every job is permitted through King County DPER and inspected before final sign-off.
The Union Hill plateau sits at roughly 500 feet of elevation, surrounded by heavy second-growth Douglas fir and big-leaf maple. The long overhead PSE distribution feeders running along Novelty Hill Road and out toward Cottage Lake and Carnation see frequent limb-on-line outages during winter windstorms — November and December restoration times of 24 to 72 hours are common on the rural eastern edge. The Redmond Ridge and Trilogy subdivisions are partially fed by underground laterals from Novelty Hill substations, which gives them shorter outage windows than the rural properties — but they still take the same wind exposure and benefit from the same standby generator and surge protection scope.
The rural acreage outside the master-planned communities is overwhelmingly served by private wells and on-site septic — which means electrical reliability translates directly to running water and a working drain field. Many properties also have detached barns, equipment shops, ADUs, and equestrian outbuildings that need their own subpanels fed underground from the main residence. This is electrical work that simply doesn't come up as often in the denser Ridge subdivisions next door.
Standby Generator Installation
Standard Union Hill-Novelty Hill generator install: Generac Guardian 22-26 kW or Kohler 20RESCL on a poured concrete pad, service-rated 200-amp automatic transfer switch, buried propane line to a 500- or 1,000-gallon tank (most rural properties don't have natural gas; Redmond Ridge and Trilogy do), and a load-managed setup so the generator carries heat pumps, refrigeration, well pumps and septic lift stations where present, and home-office circuits through 24-72 hour PSE outages. For Ridge and Trilogy properties we coordinate the HOA ARC submittal for pad placement and exterior screening. Permits filed with King County DPER and full commissioning load test at handoff.
EV Charger Installation in Master-Planned Communities
Redmond Ridge and Trilogy EV charger installs on exterior walls visible from the street typically need HOA architectural review submittal — charger model, mounting location, conduit routing, color match. Once approved we install the dedicated 50-amp circuit with 6-AWG copper, hardwired Tesla Wall Connector, Wallbox Pulsar Plus, or ChargePoint Home Flex, GFCI protection per NEC 625. For two-EV households we add DCC-9 load shedding so a second charger can be added without a service upgrade. Permits filed with King County DPER.
Well, Septic & Outbuilding Subpanels
On the rural acreage outside the Ridge, we wire submersible well-pump circuits (typically 240V, 20- or 30-amp, fed through buried conduit to a wellhead pressure switch and control box), diagnose failed pump-start relays and corroded pressure switches, and re-bond grounding electrodes at the wellhead per current code. Septic lift station and effluent-pump circuits get dedicated GFCI-protected breakers per NEC Article 680/682. Detached barns, shops, and equestrian outbuildings get 60-, 100-, or 200-amp subpanels fed underground with copper feeders sized to the calculated load, separately bonded grounding electrode at the outbuilding, and weatherproof outdoor disconnects.

Frequently Asked Questions — Union Hill-Novelty Hill Electrical Services
What should I do during a power outage?
First, check if your neighbors also lost power — if so, contact your utility provider. If the outage is limited to your home, check your main breaker and reset any tripped breakers. If the problem persists, call a licensed electrician. For frequent outages, consider a whole-home generator installation for uninterrupted backup power.
Can you install an EV charger at my home?
Yes. We install Level 2 (240V) EV chargers for all major vehicle brands. Installation includes running a dedicated circuit from your panel to your garage or carport, mounting the charging unit, and ensuring everything meets NEC and local code requirements. Most installations are completed in half a day.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs an upgrade?
If your panel is over 20 years old, uses fuses instead of breakers, or you're experiencing frequently tripped breakers, it likely needs upgrading. Modern homes draw significantly more power than older panels were designed to handle. A licensed electrician can assess your panel's capacity and recommend the right upgrade to support your household's electrical demands safely.
