Best EV Charging Station Instal… in Seattle WA

Just had Steve from Wilderness Electric here twice today.  He was great.  I was the first appointment of the day and he was exactly on time.  I showed him what I needed done.  One, the main chandelier in entryway.  He got everything arranged to install and when he removed the chandelier from the box, a necessary piece was missing.  He was very accommodating as he got the project as far as he could, went to the next appointment (as he had to meet an inspector) and returned to finish my project as I went to the store to pick up the necessary part.

Yes, there were two trip charges, but the company I purchased the fixture from needed to take care of one of the trip charges.  He was very courteous and very efficient.  Steve, apparently, has worked for Wilderness Electric for 26 years.  

I would highly recommend this company as they were efficient and professional.

Baron was great, easy to talk to and was able to email him pictures of what we needed and he was available a week later when our lights were ready for installation.

He explained what he was doing and no big surprises.

I had a broken dimmer switch (light wouldn't stay on). Tyler fixed it quickly and professionally. He also showed up right on time, which was awesome. They also sent a text beforehand with a picture of the technician so I knew who to expect. Cost me $275.

John & Dylan were able to fix our lighting issues quickly so we can rent our property as quickly as possible.  They were pleasant & professional. Will definitely use them again.

We had a 20 panel solar system installed at our house in March, 2020, by West Seattle Solar.  Other than some communications lapses on their part, we were not aware of several problems until they finished the job and had been paid.  
Problem #1 - We got charged by Puget Sound Energy (PSE) for the surplus solar power the system generated for three weeks.  Instead of getting a lower electrical bill for March, we got the highest bill we ever received at this house including the coldest parts of the winter.  This is because the owner left the system disconnect in the on position, telling us the meter would run backwards and give us credit with the utility for our surplus power in the time before the new netmetering meter was installed by PSE.  He walked me to our existing meter and said, it is running backwards implying we would not be charged for our surplus power going to PSE and, in fact, get a credit.  WRONG!  So for three weeks surplus power flowed into the PSE system, but instead of getting some kind of credit, it was recorded as power we consumed and we were charged for it.  West Seattle should have known this and left the system off.  PSE gives no refunds in these cases.  We just paid for a solar system and for the power it created at PSE rates for almost a month.
Problem #2 - Leaving the breaker on met power from our system was flowing into the PSE lines that they did not know about.  Potentially, a line worker could have been injured  thinking all power was off on the lines they were working on, when it was not.  When the utility learned our system was on (because I called them) I was told to immediately, at that moment, go down and turn it OFF!  West Seattle created a dangerous situation and some liability for us potentially and danger to PSE staff.
Problem #3 - West Seattle either did not submit the netmetering/system application to the PSE to have our system approved (before it was installed) and get a new meter that would record our power surplus correctly or they submitted it and did not follow up to see if it was approved.  I filled out the forms three months in advance with West Seattle and they were supposed to submit them.  When I called the utility to find out when we would be getting our new netmeter I learned they did not know about our system.  I had to fill out a new application and submit
it.  As soon as I did, I got a confirmation email from PSE.  Apparently West Seattle did not check for a confirmation or just dropped the ball entirely.  We could have waited for months for nothing to happen if I had not called PSE and discovered the problem.  
I needed a schematic of the system which I did not have to submit the application to PSE.  I called the installer twice and emailed three times and got no response.  Never got the plan from them.  Finally I was able to get the plan from our local permit office.  Otherwise I was left hanging with no help or support of any kind from the installer.  Without this document, the system could never be approved and used.
I could go into more detail, but simply we were left without support after a series of mistakes cost us money in a high electrical bill and left with a dangerous situation and an inoperable system as far as PSE was concerned.
Hopefully the mechanical and electrical parts of the work were done correctly.  Who knows?  I don't.
I regret using this vendor.  We could have hired locally and I am sorry we did not.

Marv at Solarside Electric is fantastic! Smart, quick, on time (usually early!), knows his stuff, professional, does what he says he will do. Awesome to work with, will recommend them any chance I get and call them for any electrical needs in the future. Great service, great guys! :D

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.

Asked for an estimate for some heater replacement was told I need to email photos which I did. Never heard back from Parker Brothers. So I went with blue flame and probably was more expensive but at least they follow through when they say they will.

Very happy with the price and work done by skyline! They're definitely my go to from now on for electrical work. Their quote was very accurate. They are a bit behind on scheduling, but usually quality companies are. Their service team was very respectful and friendly.

Very happy with ESS in terms of their responsiveness, timeliness and service. The proprietor, Rich, took the time on the phone to review the problem I was having prior to scheduling service, which I really appreciate. And when I couldn't fix the problem myself, two of his people were able to work through some wonky wiring in our home and make it work, and work safely. Very happy with the service I received, but also with the professionalism of the two electricians that provided the service. I'm happy to recommend ESS to others with similar problems or needs.

These guys are awesome , we had them put our solar panels on our house,  the third day after they left we started having electrical issues in our house , we called Dickson and asked please help us asap, he and Christian both dropped what they were doing , probably in the middle of their dinner and came right over , the issue was what I thought it was,  they unfortunately had to work with the substandard wiring done in my house, they found at least two errors in the wiring my home builder did, the Teo of them went through the entire house until they corrected  everything the other electrician did wrong they even changed two of our burned out light bulbs, I don't know how to thank them enough , our work crew was Christian,  Egan  and Jessie,  they are  superstars

They are my go to electricians.  I have had others out in the past but stopped doing that once Varsity Electric completed our first of multiple electric projects.  I have had them do light fixture replacements, troubleshooting and repairs, adding outdoor electrical and replace all outlet receptacles in the house and bringing them up to code. They have always been prompt, courteous, professional and knowledgeable.   I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to have electrical work done.

I rarely write reviews because I really just want to say They did exactly what they said they would do and be done with it. Yelp, however, says my reviews are too short. I think those reading the reviews don't need a bunch of extraneous stuff. Yes, I'm sure the technician likes puppies, takes time to fly kites with his kids, slows down his work truck near school crossings and is kind to those he meets on the street. But, it's got nothing to do with the work we contracted to have done. He showed up on time, was nice, had the necessary skills, did the work and didn't run up the bill. Is that enough, Yelp?

Had a Tune Up service from Allred (1020 S 344th St #205 Federal Way, WA 98003) in 4/2020. Since then, our fireplaces have had problem 3 times. My gut feeling was to try a different company when our fireplace stopped working again. Glad I did.

I also stood near by to watch while the technician was servicing my fireplace this time. Turned out, the Thermopile assembly was very rusty. The TPTH screw was very loose, had to be tighten (3 full turns).

Needless to say, the Tune-up by Allred was questionable, only god knows how much their guy really serviced our fireplaces.

On a side note, Allred charges $743 to replace a gas valve, two other well reviewed companies charge $300~$500.

I had an issue with my Tesla charger and Rob came out and replaced it with no interruption and in a very friendly and professional manner.  He gave me multiple options for how to solve the issue and ultimately installed a fantastic solution.  I've dealt with many types of electricians and would recommend Rob and Seahurst to anyone.  Great work!

What an amazing company!
Matt came out, gave an estimate and started to work on the panel the next week.
This is the second time we have had them out, well worth it!
They were on time, Matt did a walk through with one of his electricians and they started immediately.
I am so pleased with everything they did.
Prompt, professional, cost effective and just an all around great company.
I will now only use Synergy!

Bait and switch, quoted $69 and then the electrician arrived and quoted $550 for troubleshooting and fixing the dishwasher. He said $69 is only for making a visit. I didn't know what to do as the dishwasher costs typically ~$700 but as I was going on vacation, I said yes. After another 15-20 minutes, he went to his truck and then called me after 30 minutes (he was sitting in his truck during this time) and said that he spent time figuring out but as he is electrician and not an appliance repair person, he doesn't know how to fix it! This was ridiculous.

The good thing is that I recorded everything on my security camera which shows that he hardly spent any time repairing it and was sitting outside in the truck. I have disputed the charges with my credit card company.

Also, I called another service the next day and they troubleshoot my dishwasher for only $148.50.

These guys are scam artists, please don't use them.
