Best Outlet Installation in Seattle WA
We wanted to install an EV charger in our garage because charging using a v110 outlet is too slow. Received a few quotes but decided to go with Red Line Electric Services because they are the most responsive, the price is reasonable, and seem knowledgeable about EV charger installation. If you are looking for any electrical works, I would really recommend Red Line Electric Services.

Excellent service - prompt, efficient, incredibly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend and absolutely use their service again. We had several projects we hired him for (several outlets, EV charger) and they not only did they provide the most competitive rates, they were incredibly knowledgeable and offering multiple ways to achieve our intended result. They discussed the pros and cons of each option and ultimately gave their own recommendation (which was actually the cheaper and more cost effective method), saving us thousands of dollars. Additionally, their work was impeccable, accomplishing all projects with no damage to our dry wall, obviating the need for any dry wall repair/repainting. Highly, highly recommend. We plan to hire them again for some additional projects we have planned.

I appreciate this company's fast response and willingness to squeeze my project into his schedule. When it comes to electrical, 90 percent of the time, it's urgent. So for those who took 2 days to respond to my request, you just can't do business that way. This company gave me a super fair quote -- not super cheap but not spendy either. He fixed a couple other things he noticed and was in and out. I thank you and I will be referring you to my other friends!

Chris and his team were great! Very professional, communicative and fast. They fixed our doorbell and were very courteous and did a great job!

Wyatt was very quick, knowledgeable, and willing to take some time to educate me as a home-owner. The price was right, and it only took a half hour, so he checked to make sure I didn't have anything else that needed to be done, since it's a one hour minimum. I called him on a Saturday, and he was available so was there within the hour. Great service!

Seth was great. Reliable and reasonable. Sometimes that's hard to find in an electrician. Would highly recommend.

I contacted Linder to replace my home electrical panel so that I could add two EV plugs in my garage and prepare for a heat pump and heat pump water heater that would soon follow the project.
The bulk of the install process was great and professional. The project hit a snag at the very end when I noticed that the second EV plug was 120 instead of 240. I was told that the panel that was selected wouldn't work with a second EV plug or with the the heat pump devices that were going to come next. That was a shock!
I had wondered about this before we started the project. I asked if a higher-amperage panel was required. I was told that's a big deal and will cost you $20k. There was never a statement that the panel we were going with wasn't going to cover the stated project goals.
After the project, I called PSE to get a better understanding of the service they offer to my home. They told me I had been given bad advice and that they could deliver whatever amperage I needed without trouble. The new panel that was installed was 125 amp. PSE told me that they guarantee 200 amps to the home, per WA law. They also said that I ALREADY had 200 amp to my home, so clearly no requirement to pay $20k to get it.
I reached back out to Linder with the new information. I proposed installing a higher amperage panel and that I'd pay the bulk of the cost but wanted some discount because I didn't feel like this poor outcome was entirely my fault. They told me that they don't do work for free, even though I wasn't asking for that. They told me go to talk to Bel-Red Electric if I wanted the issue fixed. That was another shock. I thought that the relationship had gone pretty smoothly up until that point. I guess they had booked a good profit on my project and didn't want to give that up.
In any case, I think it is good advice to go talk to Bel-Red electric. I will go do that and explain that I need help in right-sizing my new panel for my project goals.
In summary, I have no reason to question the quality of the work at Linder. The install looked super clean and was done quickly. A friend had recommended Linder. He is super handy and would have never got into this problem. He would have calculated his amperage requirements before even calling an electrical company. I don't know much about electrical and was expecting guidance from Linder on how to proceed per my stated project goals. In fact, I asked them about this later. They told me that I negotiated too hard on price and so a 125 amp panel was the only option at that price. That's a really strange way to do business. The panel upgrade cost $7k. Is that a lot for a 125 amp panel?
So, if you need help navigating your project and are not too familiar with electrical, you might look elsewhere or end up with the same outcome as I did. I'm just a regular home owner like a lot of people.

Worked with Victor on a new outlet for an oven. Super nice and knowledgeable. Very reasonable and straightforward price. Was able to get a next day appointment for service. Look forward to working with them on future projects.

I had a 20A breaker go bad in my electrical panel, and I couldn't change it. So, I called around late in the afternoon to various electricians, and Wilderness Electric was able to come out the next morning! The technician was great and very knowledgeable. He had electricity restored within minutes. There is a flat hourly fee for service, with a minimum of 1 hour charge for the service call and initial hour of work, $105 per hour if I recall. All in, it was about $150 for the part, the 1 hour charge, and tax. I will be happy to use Wilderness Electric again for future electrical needs and recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work!

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.

What can I say? All the other reviews are correct. Brian did an awesome job. He moved circuits between sub panels and installed a manual transfer switch. The work was done well and he did a bunch of other tidying up type jobs on the panels, which leaves them in a more organized state than before. No surprise he books out quickly, but well worth the lead time!

We heartily refer Jonathan with Sparks Electric. He was on time and completed multiple tasks quickly. We found there was a hot wire in our attic, a tripped circuit in the kitchen, installed five new smoke detectors (two in vaulted ceilings), one closet on/off sensor and a new doorbell. He was well prepared and his price was very fair.

We had Daniel change our foyer and dining room chandeliers as well as take out and cover a can light we don't use. Very thorough and professional. This is the second time that he helped us out and won't be the last. When other electricians say 'No we don't do that' and would bill us up to the ying yang; Daniel says No problem and his prices are very reasonable. Thank you Daniel!

Fast, polite and well done! The office responded promptly to my on-line inquiry and had me scheduled in 2 days for a non-urgent repair. Bronson and Josh called exactly 30 minutes before arrival right on time. Explained what my options were re: the repair. And also upgraded the bathroom and kitchen circuits to gfi. They were done in a little over an hour. I appreciated their transparency on pricing.
Highly recommend and will use again if needed.

I created an Yelp account just to warn all you guys out there. Stay away from this company. They are overpriced and unprofessional. I accepted the high price because I needed some work done fast and the other companies were booked for weeks in advance. What I mistake I made. The electrician that arrived was very rude and condescending. Had to order some parts that were supposed to arrive in a week. After a month of waiting they arrived! And guess what, when they came to install everything they realized they ordered the wrong parts. Had to wait another month for the correct parts to arrive. They also did some work on a light fixture in my bathroom but that stopped working a couple day after. Please stay clear of this company and save yourself the headache.

Great plumbers.
Knew their stuff and were very polite. Nice guys.
We were having issues with a water line not feeding the ice maker in a subzero fridge.
The plumber could not move the built in fridge out on his own on a Friday afternoon.
He came out with his boss on a Saturday and got the job done. No additional trip charge. We were very pleased with their service and pricing!
Would use them again.

Called three times trying to get them to respond to a power problem in my house. They said ,,oh we'll call you back,,, never did. Called again ,,,we'll call you back when we schedule it,,,never did. I fixed the problem myself. They are not interested in residential work.

Brett was one time and called ahead to let me know his eta. We had an outlet replaced outside. He answered all of my questions and was friendly. Will be using them again in the future.
