Best Ceiling Fan Installation in Seattle WA

Igor initially came out in response to our needing a quote for upgrading our electrical panel in order to utilize a full-home generator for power outages (which are far too many near Dash Point St. Park & the incompetency of PSE doesn't help).  
  Simple, right? Wrong. Igor gave us a veritable schooling on a lot of things we should have known, but didn't. Knowledgeable, professional & efficient, he made our decision on whom to choose for an electrician easy to make. While we were at it, we decided to have him replace & install five different lighting systems in the house. Everything went according to plan & in a day & a half it was done, everything worked perfectly & he instructed us on how to use the interlock system to make use of the generator.
  We will have him back out in '23 to redo the entire jury-rigged garage lighting mess that the previous owner installed & install more lights in the house.
  Trust me, there's no need in doing any more research for an electrician...Igor is the guy.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! I read the reviews and gave them a call. I described the work and was given an estimate. Brian and Robert arrived the next day and on time. They worked efficiently and completed the work in less time and below the estimated cost.

I had been told by another company that the work would take 6 hours (honest) and these guys did the work in 1.5 hours. I am not new at remodeling and thought the first bid was way off track. I am so glad for YELP and honest providers.

Highly Recommended!!!  Ask for Oreo, you won't be disappointed.  He took care of my work quickly and stressed the importance that he wanted it to look good.  Saw him take extra steps just to ensure the job was clean as if it was his own.  Very professional and made the experience extremely simple.  Can't go wrong!

Paul is very organized, knowledgeable and honest.  He returned our calls and Yelp e mail promptly to set up an appt.  He was on time and professional.
We were having light fixtures from a previous residence put up in our new home.  He was quick to do some minor adjustments and both are up looking beautiful (I forgot that they came from a house that had 12' ceilings and our current house has 10' ceilings).  
Paul was mindful to protect your personal while working and we look forward to having him come back to hang three ceiling fans when we purchase them.
Not only did he do a great job, but he gave us insight on what to look for if we wanted to purchase dimmers, and ceiling fans with remotes.  
We highly recommend Paul and look forward to having him take care of all of our electrical needs.  S. Ashcraft

I recently had Matt at Mirsky Electric do some work for me, and have nothing but good things to say about the entire experience.

First of all, my wife and I just purchased an older (1940's) home and have been taking the DIY approach to a lot of the updates, and this project was no different.  The house has the original Knob-n-Tube wire, which is ungrounded, and we wanted to update some existing outlets to new grounded circuits (for new appliances, electronics, etc), add some new outlets in a finished attic, and install a sub-panel to make replacing the ground floor lighting/receptacles much easier when we get around to it.  

Seeing as I was taking a (for the most part) DIY approach to this project, I was simply looking for an electrician to validate my ideas about how/where to run all the wires/panel, and then come out and do some final hookups of the panel and new circuits (so I would survive to my next project)

I called/emailed around to several highly rated electricians on Yelp, and Matt was by far the first to respond to my inquiries.  He actually swung by my place to take a look at my proposed work as soon as I had some available time, which was much sooner than I had expected he would be able to stop by.  I was very upfront with him that I planned to do must of the grunt work myself and just have an electrician do the final connections.  He gladly gave me some valuable feedback/validation about the work I was planning to do myself, which was greatly appreciated.  Even though the billable hours for the project were low, he was more than willing to answer questions I had in several follow up calls leading up to the time he came out to help finish off my project.

Matt's estimates of hourly work were right in line with what he billed, and the work was clean and completely quickly.  He completed all the work in just over 2 hours, but billed me for exactly 2 hours, which was a very pleasant surprise.  I had forgotten that they offer a discount for mentioning their listing on Yelp, but he asked where I found them and kindly offered the discount without me even bringing it up.

All in all, we now have a new 60A sub-panel and 2 new 20A circuits in my office, a new dedicated 20A circuit in the kitchen for our brand new refrigerator, and a dedicated GFCI protected 20A circuit in the basement for our chest freezer.  While he was here he also installed a main panel surge protector and swapped out a few old breakers for GFCI breakers to protect some of the ungrounded circuits in the house.

I pulled a permit on this project myself, since I was doing the majority of the work, and the inspector passed myself and Matt's work with flying colors.  (special thanks to Matt here, because he mentioned a small issue that I should fix before the inspection, which the inspector immediately noticed and said without my last minute change he would have not passed the work)  Even though I pulled the permit, Matt gladly offered to come back out and make any changes that the inspector wanted, and actually followed up with me twice to insure that everything passed inspection.  Definitely top notch in customer service...

I have some future electrical projects planned (finishing a basement, rewiring some old circuits, etc) and will definitely contact Matt when I need an electrician again.

Thanks again Matt!

Just want to respond to the owner's response- it is total nonsense. I texted her immediately after the event and sent her screenshots of my review. I received no response whatsoever. She obviously came and posted a response here just to appear as though they care. If she really cared, I would have received a response to my texts- she had texted me to set up the appointment, or a call right away. No phone call, no text. Just a fake apology here to save face.

After a previous technician from one of the big outfits wanted to replace a perfectly good power panel (at an inflated price), when I called for another problem, Mike confirmed that there was nothing wrong with my power panel.  He then successfully trouble shot an electrical problem.

Bayless electric installed a permanent generator for our house recently. The price was great, the work was done well but also quickly and efficiently. They took care of everything from start to finish and communicated with us all along. I will definitely use Bayless Electric for all of my future projects.

Zach and team helped our company on a commercial project for Kamiak High School. He was easily one of the top subcontractors onsite.

Top three things about Exact: their open communication, them working hard without having to be constantly followed up with/babysat, and their quality of work.

We ran into some challenges with special lights being long lead-time items, but Zach stayed on top of it and somehow got everything delivered and installed before school started.

Additionally, a different crew damaged some floor outlets. Zach and his guys charged for materials only, taking the time to fix/install new units on their own dime.

Exact is one of the main reasons this project turned out so well, and I'll use them again in a heartbeat.

I'm not one to leave reviews, but my experience with Eugene was such a nightmare and I'm hoping I can steer others clear of the headache. In short, this man is a liar and a poor communicator.

I reached out to Eugene with a simple 40-min job installation. I was in his schedule about 5 times before I finally got him through the door. There was always an excuse, whether it be delays in a job the day before, oversleeping, or as serious as family medical emergencies. At first I believed the more serious excuses and tried to stay patient. When he finally arrived for the job about a week after the initial scheduling, he changed his story multiple times to avoid completing the simple job that day, clearly rushing to his next appointment in his signature overbooked schedule. When he promised his return the next day... another emergency. His car broke down. He sent a video and it seemed plausible, but his communication once again broke down, with no word for the rest of the day. When we finally rescheduled he said that his dry wall repair guy, Patrick Laulu (great guy, would refer), would do the follow-up job for free as a favor to Eugene. Supposedly Patrick's car had broken down that day, and now Eugene was giving him rides around town. As a thank you to Eugene, he was going to do my small job for free. I figured, great, Eugene realizes what a headache this has been and is trying to make it right. The next day, Eugene shows up, no Patrick. He claims that when he went to Patrick's house to pick him up for the day, Patrick never answered the front door (and that's why he was an hour late to the job). Eugene finally does the job and leaves. Patrick comes back later that day and half way through the job I find out that not only did Eugene make up the entire story of Patrick's car breaking down and Eugene swinging by his house earlier that day, he also has no knowledge of this supposed deal of free dry walling. Of course Eugene never picks up his phone when I call for an explanation, instead texting that he's at a family event and can only text. Then of course, Eugene never texts back.

This is not a good guy. Maybe he takes bigger jobs more seriously, but I'd never recommend him. There's gotta be electricians with better character. Good riddance.

So, our breaker for our hot water heater kept tripping and it was a Friday night. I called quite as few electricians to see if anyone would be able to come by on Saturday. Not one called me back. Then on Saturday I continued my calls, going down the list of electricians on yelp. I came to tapps electric, and even though they just started their business and had only one yelp review, I was desperate and I didn't care. The phone picked up to a lady and I told her our situation and that we had no hot water and had little kids and could they come by sometime over the weekend. She said that most likely yes, and a technician would call us back. I then continued to make more calls to electricians thinking they may not call back but no one else picked up or called back. Then I got a call back from Tapps electric! They were going to come out the next day at 2pm (Sunday). Needless to say, William came out and handled our problem and we now have hot water! Thank you so much for coming out on a Sunday. We will be using you all for all of our electric needs for now on!

I used CES to install my standby generator. Their price was very reasonable.

Kacie was quick to respond to emails and the job was well done. The electricians that came out were polite and knowledgeable.

The only issues we had were two different days that workers were supposed to come out and didn't show. No explanation, no phone call...nothing. I waited around so both days were wasted.

Better communication by the company owners would be helpful.

I'd use them again for their tech expertise, but not customer service.

Update- Eco came out and rerouted our plumbing stack to be much lower profile, and we were able to change from a 13 inch drop ceiling to a 6 inch drop. Big win, and hug that they were willing to come back out to rework a finished job to make it right for us!

Original review: I've contracted with Eco Electric (Conner) and plumbing (Duane) for two different homes. Both are fantastic people, very friendly and easy to work with, and their quotes are very competitive. The work on both was a bit sloppy though.. for the plumbing they unnecessarily blew through two adjacent load bearing joists under our heavy free-standing tub requiring us to do some reframing/structural bandaids, and despite telling us they'd have no more than a 4 to 6 inch drop ceiling for drains we ended up with a insane eyesore if a 13 inch drop, pretty much ruining a whole room. For electrical I got a cryptic alpha numeric bid that, after the fact, we found didn't include much of the work I'd asked for in the initial consult. To eco's credit, they did extra work on the electrical to make sure I left a happy customer, which I appreciated. It's hard to find an honest company, but the workmanship could definitely be improved.

Alex of A & A Electric was recommended to me by the excellent handyman I use. The handyman successfully hung three new replacement lights for me in our Tudor-style home.  But when he finished hanging the new chandelier in the dining room it was uneven.  The problem seemed to be that the rings attached to the three rods supporting the bowl of the fixture were each twisted differently. Neither of us could figure out how to correct the problem. We both stood on the dining room table and as I held the chandelier in place the handyman repeatedly twisted and turned the rings to no avail.  After quite some time he gave up and said he knew an excellent electrician, Alex, who had re-wired his own house during a re-model. I called the experienced sales lady at the specialty antique store where I bought the fixtures thinking she could explain how to adjust the rods and my husband and I could then complete the job by ourselves. She explained that the chandelier was a particularly difficult light to hang correctly and I would need a very experienced electrician. So I called Alex of A & A Electric.  When he arrived it took him about ten minutes to adjust the twelve rings and three rods by himself and the chandelier finally hung correctly.  Based on this experience I then hired him again, this time to install two sconces in the guest bathroom which consisted of removing some drywall and running wire through the studs.  He worked efficiently and quietly and also showed great patience with me as I tried to decide exactly how high and far from the mirror to hang the lights.  It helped that he gave me advice on the proper placement.  Once the rough in wiring was done he said he would be back after the handyman replaced the sheetrock to install the fixtures.  He also suggested that I paint the wall before he installed the fixtures  so the end result would be a clean and professional appearance.  I again called Alex last week when the power to some of the electrical outlets below the kitchen cabinets went out.  His first response was First, maybe I can save you some money. Do you have any reset buttons and have you tried those?  Yes, I had.  Then have you looked at your electrical box?    Based on every experience I have had with Alex he is the only electrician I call.  I can with great confidence recommend him for electrical jobs both great and small.  He is even the electrician my handyman recommends.  Also, we do not wear shoes in our house and Alex carries shoe covers with him to put on when he enters our home.

I chose Fenter based on the 5 star rating. I had two other similar competitors give me bids on the job. It was a small job I thought I could do it myself and save a buck. Ran into some snags so I decided to look for help, well because I like my life and my house and wanted to keep both. Dylan in about 10 mins helped me with the last few steps just by telling me what I had left to do, and how to do it. I was excited at the thought of saving money also the honesty displayed. He didn't charge a dime so I forced 20 bucks on him at least for some lunch. But he wasn't done there, I had to exchange a few texts during the job for more help and he was all over it. Like Dylan and Fenter needed another 5 star rating, wish I could give more!!! Honesty and integrity go a long way. I'll be calling Dylan for ANY future electrical work. Thanks again Dylan

I posted a light fixture replacement project on Yelp, and someone from Mauro Electric responded right away. They were able to send Ricky to complete the job the same day! He quickly and professionally replaced two of the three fixtures. The only reason he didn't replace the third one is because I measured incorrectly, and the new one wouldn't fit in the space. Ricky was very kind and understanding about my mistake, which I appreciated. Thanks, Mauro Electric!

Called Harris Electric to install an outlet in my crawl space for a sump pump. He provided a fair quote and had availability the following week. He showed up on time, was completely professional, and finished quickly. He explained how everything worked before leaving.

Straightforward, professional, and a job well done. Will call again next time we need electrical services.

Scheduled appointment and they cancelled on me. Rescheduled and they cancelled again. What a waste of my time. Best to avoid!

Couldn't have been more pleased! They were able to fit me in on the same day. Technician (David) was friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. I would definitely recommend them, and would use them again in the future if a need arose.
