Best Lighting Repair in Seattle WA

Excellent response from the office and great communications from the electrician. Especially appreciate the flat rate for the type of job. I know that I'm not being taken advantage of.

I saw a review about someone needing a Cadet wall heater replaced and after a blowout with mine, I called Merv Electric to help diagnose what was going on. The technician told me that it was just old and burned out but I didn't need to worry about safety by removing it. He put on some new caps and told me what I needed to do to get it fixed. He suggested a path where I didn't need to call him and another where he could do it. I appreciated the honesty and his professionalism.

Very nice and professional people!! Would recommend them to anyone!! You regret dealing with them at all!

I used Vet's Electric to replace and upgrade the wiring in my 1944 townhouse. Everyone was wonderful to work with!  Cassie was awesome, and Jesse and Dave wonderful as well.  The work was done very quickly, and Dave made a point of staying late on the last day to finish up, giving me useful electricity safety pointers and explanations of what he was doing and the work they had already done.  They all made an intimidating project very approachable and I appreciated their timeliness, professionalism, and approachability. Again, wonderful to work with, do a quality job, and would highly recommend them. I will definitely use them again if I ever need additional electric work done!

Although the service wasn't terrible, the rates are outlandish. They installed 2 Nest outdoor Cameras. Pretty straightforward job, but they left jagged holes in the drywall. Not a very clean job. They charged us $225+tax. 7 months later the Nest stopped working and we troubleshooted it on our own. When we called we explained that we thought it was the cord and wanted them to come out and fix it. They came out and performed the same steps we did and said yep it's the cord. Sorry we don't have a cord. even though we provided the info prior to the appointment, explaining what we had done already (replaced camera, tested outlet, tested power adapter). He was there 30 minutes tops, according to our 1 remaining working Nest camera, and said he would come back and fix it when we got a cord. All good until I got an invoice 2 days later for $225 plus tax. I was told that I'd have to pay another $130 to get the cord run through two holes. So that's $355+ tax to fish a cord through existing holes. Then...when I disputed the rate, which involved two phone calls and 30 more minutes of debate, I got the bill down to $135 for one hour of work, despite him not being there an hour. They said I was paying for his travel time (the company is less than a mile from me) and cord research (it took me 5 mins on Amazon to get this special cord). It's not over though. Later that night they sent me a revised invoice from the initial install that I had paid 7 months ago, saying, Sorry, we undercharged you last year. Please pay $168 more dollars--we gave you 10% off.  I couldn't believe what I was reading. No company who wants to stay in business does this. Update We decided to replace the cord ourselves and it took 15 minutes. The advice is don't do business with them unless you understand and are willing to pay $500 to install $200 equipment.

These guys did an awesome job for me. Fast, efficient and per the book. Conscientious beyond anything I've ever encountered in a private contractor. I'd recommend them to anybody needing electrical work.

Received a call from the company willing to riembourse part of the bill. Shows they will try to make thinks right if you have problems with the service

I have learned over the years that electricity was something best left to the experts, Seth was my first call--and my only call. I had planned to get bids from several electricians, but once I talked to  Seth at SMC Electric, I stopped searching. Not only was he prompt, honest, and very courteous, he was also extremely professional. Seth was very upfront with project costs and time, and had everything done well ahead of what was promised. Seth even answered all my questions while he was working. It's really rare to find his level of work ethic these days. Thank you for your help Seth from SMC Electric!

24/7's Igor did a great job for us replacing a florescent light fixture with a new LED fixture.   The cost was very reasonable and within the estimate.   Best of all, they were on the job with hours of my call.   Will definitely use 24/7 on future projects.

Wilderness Electric Inc came out to my house to determine why my washer and several outlets in my laundry room quit working.  They called to let me know they were on their way and they arrived on time.  Service was professional and friendly. Issue was identified and repaired.  I loved the fact that they explained the issue and resolved it quickly.  Also appreciated that they took the time to help me better understand the demands placed on the electrical system when using extension cords and power strips.  I will be using Wilderness Electric for all my future electrical needs.

These guys are the only electricians I call for our office electrical needs. Our building maintenance manager (Norton Building) endorses them unequivocally and makes tutting noises if you consider calling someone else. Their technicians are courteous and prompt communicators and I've never had any misgivings about the work they've done at all. They even fuss about cleaning up their dust after a job to an almost old-lady-like level.

Shawn was fantastic and I'd highly recommend him. From start to finish, he was a prompt and patient communicator, which can't be said for most contractors. He quickly returned my call, found time for a comprehensive estimate and offered a competitive quote to upgrade my service, and replace my panel, install a car charger, and a many more small tasks.

During the project, he was efficient while taking time to answer all my questions and explain everything in layman's terms. He was always super considerate to do everything the right way, even if it wasn't the fastest way.

All in all, Shawn was great.

I had already used the home theater, electronics, low voltage side of this company for 3 years - wipliance.com and loved their service. Today I had Obot come out to replace the sconces at my front door and fix a nagging electrical problem a previous company had left us with.  Really professional and efficient.  The price was great...really great and now I am counting up all the other projects I need done that I have put off due to the frustration of having a contractor in the house.  Obot is easy, professional and reasonable.

As a note, this is an unsolicited review. I have had companies offer discounts, etc for Yelp reviews and facebook posts... but that is not the case with Wickman. I only mention this because I'm sometimes wary of businesses with 100% 5-star ratings... but in this case, Brian and his team deserve every 5-Star rating they get.

Wickman Electric installed an 80A subpanel in my garage, so I could run 220v circuits to some heavy machinery. This was no small task, as there iss considerable distance from the power hookup to the garage (think opposite corners of a cube, if the cube was a two story house). Brian and Jared were creative problem solvers and walked through options. They developed a more efficient and less invasive method of getting power to the garage than two other companies that looked at the problem. Easy decision.

These guys are punctual, professional, and courteous. Little things like removing shoes without being asked... and double checking where I wanted outlets and panels installed. All around great experience.

Thanks Brian!

John is my contractor of the year. I unknowingly had an external outlet wired to and overloading a 20 amp breaker. He created a dedicated breaker in the panel for said outlet and now I am able to operate irrigation in a safe, reliable, up-to-code manner.

Here's what I like about Sparks:
1. No discovery process, booking fees or scheduling friction.
2. Showed up on time and prepared to do the project.
3. Straight forward pricing.
4. Specializes in services / electrical repair.
5. Educates and informs along the way.
6. Completed the project in one hour flat.
7. Snoqualmie Valley target market - the home team.

Thank you John, you're my go-to electrician moving forward!

Pros:  
- came out in short notice

Cons:  
- were 4 hours late
- took another 2 hours to change 4 old outlets
- charged $600

Just a little over two hours from discovery of a waterfall in our basement to complete repair and water service back on. All of this after hours. Top-notch customer service. $158 emergency after hours call fee, plus repair cost. Hot shower and clean dishes here we come.
