Newman Electric · Five Corners, WA

for Homes & Small Business
Five Corners sits at the intersection of Highway 99, NE 63rd, and Andresen in north Vancouver. Walk a block in any direction and the neighborhood shifts: ranch homes from the 1960s, small apartment buildings, strip-mall retail, auto shops, and a restaurant or two. Newman Electric serves the whole mix. Residential repairs, panel upgrades, and EV chargers on one street, then a restaurant rewire or a retail tenant improvement two blocks over. It's one of our most active service areas, so scheduled work and emergencies both get a fast turnaround.

Local Electrical Needs
Homes, Storefronts
and Everything Between
Five Corners is one of the few north Vancouver neighborhoods where residential and small-commercial work are both regular scope. The residential side is older suburban homes that need panel upgrades and add-on circuits. The commercial side is restaurant hoods, retail lighting, sign circuits, and tenant improvements along Highway 99.
Older Homes with Aging Panels
Most Five Corners homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means 100 or 125-amp service, often with a Square D or GE panel that has done its job for 40+ years. Adding modern loads (heat pump, EV, induction range) is the moment a 200-amp upgrade comes up.
We also see aluminum branch wiring in the late-1960s and early-1970s houses, which insurers often flag on inspection reports.
Storefronts & Tenant Improvements
Highway 99 through Five Corners has an active small-business mix: restaurants, salons, auto shops, medical offices, and retail. When a tenant moves in or a business expands, the space needs new circuits, upgraded lighting, and sign wiring. We handle the full tenant improvement electrical scope.
For existing businesses, we do emergency repairs, equipment circuit installs, and LED retrofit work. When a breaker trips mid-shift at a restaurant, fast response matters more than almost anything else.
Fast Response for Homes & Businesses
Five Corners is one of our most active service areas, so we arrive fast for both scheduled work and emergencies. A small-business electrical failure during lunch rush is a very different call than a rural outbuilding trench job, and we treat it that way. Emergency calls in Five Corners typically get on-site within the hour during business hours.

"Newman Electric came out and gave a honest and fair price for installing a ceiling fan and bringing power to our bakery’s ice machine. They had the work done within one week. They even fixed a prior problem we had with some wiring that the original electricians had done when we built out the space. As a small business owner you are This is the first time in a long time that I don’t feel as if I might be taken advantage of. Thank you so much!!!"
Panel Upgrades
Electrical Panel Upgrade in Five Corners, WA
Most Five Corners homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s on 100- or 125-amp service, with a Square D or GE panel that has done its job for 40 years. Adding a heat pump, an EV charger or an induction range is when the 200-amp upgrade comes up. We add the outdoor emergency disconnect the 2023 NEC requires and coordinate the service work with Clark Public Utilities.
"Great service with amazing pricing. Installed a 240v outlet 40 amp ckt next to panel my panel and added a 50ka surge protector. Permit included in job cost. Same day installation. Continue the great work!"
EV Chargers
EV Charger Installation in Five Corners, WA
On a 100- or 125-amp Five Corners service, a Level 2 charger starts with a load calculation. Sometimes it fits as-is, sometimes a load management device makes it fit, and sometimes the panel has to come first. For small apartment buildings, we can talk through shared or per-unit charging and what the existing service can support.
"Outstanding service from Newman Electric. The EV charger installation was fast, professional, and done right the first time. Great communication, quality workmanship, and a clean install. Highly recommend!"
Heat Pumps
Heat Pump Wiring in Five Corners, WA
Heat pumps and mini splits are replacing old furnaces and window units in Five Corners homes and small apartment buildings. Each unit needs a 240-volt circuit sized to its nameplate and a disconnect within sight of the outdoor unit, and in older buildings we confirm the panel can carry it before the HVAC equipment is ordered.
"I have to shout out Ryan for going out of his way to come save us tonight. After having an HVAC tech out two days in a row, I was really hoping to have AC restored in my home. What we thought was an HVAC issue turned out to be a breaker issue and we thought we were going to be sweating through the night once again. Newman Electric was the first place I called and I’m super glad I did. Ryan was probably on his way home for the day but diverted over to our house to help us out. He charged a fair rate for emergency service and was in and out in less than 15 minutes. Best part is.. I might actually sleep through the night tonight now that my house is finally cooling down. We’ll be hiring Newman Electric again in the future, as it sounds like we’re due for a panel swap and their pricing is good. As a dispatcher for a local plumbing company, I know good service when I see it. Thanks again Ryan for helping us out tonight! We really owe you one. 10/10 will recommend to friends and family."
Repair & Troubleshooting
Electrical Repair & Troubleshooting in Five Corners, WA
Five Corners is minutes from our shop, so repair calls get a fast turnaround. A service call is $225 for the first hour, covering diagnosis and whatever repair fits inside it. In the late-1960s and early-70s houses we also find aluminum branch wiring, which insurers flag on inspection and which is repaired with approved connectors at each device rather than a full rewire.
"This guy! Newman Electric I cannot even tell you how much Ryan rocks. Called him Thanksgiving Eve because my range caused my whole breaker box (from the 80's) to go out. I was pretty bummed.. what an awful feeling having 20+ people coming over the next day i was freaking out. Not only did Ryan and his co worker come over and make it work. They were also awesome about it. I do not have enough gratitude to ever thank them enough. I highly recommend Newman Electric to everyone they are great and awesome."
Lighting
Lighting Installation in Five Corners, WA
For homes it's canless LED downlights and fixture swaps. For storefronts and small lots around the intersection it's LED retrofits, sign lighting and exterior and security lighting on photocells or timers, so the lot is lit when customers are there and dark when it should be.
"Great guys. Great price. They worked on a faulty light fixture and checked some outdoor lights that weren’t working. Good work. Good value. Very ethical. How it show be:)"
