Best Virtual Consultations 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.

If I could give no stars I would. Nightmare. Do not use this company. Victor showed up and gave an estimate and told me how to prep the site. I prepped the site exactly as instructed. I was told to dig a 12 wide trench next to a stone wall so I did. I was told where I need to place the hot tub so I placed it exactly where we agreed. The day of the install a different team showed up and explained they couldn't do the job because I needed to cut into the cement slab. Meantime, they tell me the trench only needed to be 6 wide. The 12 wide trench caused the rock wall next to it to collapse. I companied that I wasn't told I had to cut the slab. Victor calls me and tells me he only told me 6 wide trench, and told me to cut the slab. I told him that's not what he told me and he explains I'm wrong, he's been doing his job for years, and warns me I won't get a discount on the job for my mistake. If a contractor tells you that a job requires you to cut your cement slab patio in a very specific location, you would remember that. Seriously. The nerve he has to tell me I forgot that detail. This company's mistake will cost me $1,000 (new trench, paying movers to move the hot tub so I can get access to the dig location and paying them to move it back), as well as the cost of fixing the wall which is going to be something crazy. The worst part is that the install of my hot tub won't happen until after the holidays.  The worst customer experience of my life. Look at my other reviews. I only leave good ones. Even when something isn't right, I don't leave a bad review. But this is another level.

I have worked with the owner of Merv Electric for years and I have used them on many jobs. They have done full rewires on houses for me, panel upgrades and small jobs as well. Their pricing is great and they do their best to meet your timelines and complete everything right the first time in order to pass inspections with no problems! I'm happy to refer them to home owners, investors or builders!

I am not easily impressed, but this company is outstanding! I requested bids to install an EV charger from 4 different companies, 1 of whom was a no-show. Brent from Washington Energy was by far the most thorough and professional and gave me complete confidence that they were the right company to hire. Daniel and Cornelius did the install and they were on time, polite, professional, efficient and finished earlier than estimated. They did a great job and the city inspector confirmed that they did an excellent job. I would absolutely hire this company again! The interactions I had with everyone in this company were above and beyond - I'm definitely impressed.

Alive Electric and its owner, Derek, came highly recommended via a Facebook Duvall Community Board Thread where someone was asking for a good electrician.  And now, I want to share my experience with them on Yelp.

In Late Feb. 2017, I had to take a day off work to be home for some emergency plumbing work, so I decided to email Alive Electric and see if I could schedule a visit on the same day as the plumber to get a few electrical project estimates.  Much to my surprise, the email I sent on 2/27 was answered on 2/28, and they were able to mark me down for the day when I would be home (3/1).

Derek and Seth showed up during the block of time (1-2 pm) they told me, and we got right down to discussing the work I wanted to do.  My primary request was to install an outlet behind the spot where I intended to wall-mount a HDTV.  They completed the work, which included adding one outlet 5' above the floor plus an entry (next to the new outlet) and exit (near floor) receptacle box for my HDMI and COAX cables, in about a half-hour.  For the next half-hour, we discussed future projects (i.e. moving recessed lights; installing a ceiling fan) and I got a feel for how complex this work may or may not be, and how much time it would take.

Throughout the visit, Derek and Seth were very polite, friendly, and straightforward with the way they approach projects, and advised me on which of my choices in the proposed jobs would consume more time, or raise the post-project cost (i.e. wall-patching drywall) of additional work.  I only wish I was better prepared for their visit by, say, having the HDTV Mount ready to install (they offered to install this, but I had not purchased one yet), or by buying other components in advance to start additional projects right then (i.e. hanging lights to replace the recessed ones over our kitchen island).  So, my one bit of advice for anyone looking to utilize Alive Electric would be to have multiple projects and their associated materials ready to go because they charge by the hour and are efficient and exact at what they can do!

For a number of years, I had gone with one of the bigger electrician companies in the area for all of my project needs...In fact, I went with them twice before to install outlets and cable receptacle boxes for wall-mounted HDTVs.  This company charged in the ballpark of $300-500 for this type of project, but Alive Electric did it for notably less $$$ and with the same standard of quality.

Thank you, Paul Spinosa!  I was introduced to Paul last year when I needed an honest and reliable electrician for my clients.  He did an outstanding job, they were extremely happy with his work and service.  I have been using him ever since in my real estate business.  When my husband and I opened up our own business (Epic Donuts), we called upon Paul to assist us.  We continue to work with him for all our needs and couldn't have a better electrician upon whom to depend.  Just yesterday, we had an electrical emergency and Paul was there to correct the problem within the hour - right before a holiday weekend!  This man is outstanding and we proudly refer him. Thanks, Paul, for being so awesome!

Contacted Mountlake Electric to relocate an my heating thermostat. Dave quoted me a fair price and was able to come out the next day to relocate my thermostat. He was able to get the job done in 1 hour rather than the 1 hour half that was originally quoted. A few months later I installed a new thermostat but I couldn't get it to work, so I contacted Dave to help troubleshoot the issue and he was able to fix the thermostat without a problem. Very knowledgeable and professional electrician, hope to use his services for any future electrical projects.

It's pretty rare finding good contractors that are affordable. Greg has been a great help with troubleshooting our issue along with helping upgrade our existing lines.

We couldn't recommend Bothell Electric enough! Andrew and his team are highly skilled and professional. Good and honest contractors are hard to come by in this industry but Bothell Electric definitely is. They were clear about pricing and did their best to come under the proposed amount for the job. Which they definitely did!  They came into our home to fix and bring up to code electrical work done by a previous contractor for a whole home remodel which was not an easy task! We will definitely have Bothell Electric back for future electrical needs and will recommend them to all of our friends and family!

I know one thing about this business:  when I got a flat tire in front of their establishment trying to rush home with my 3 year old in the car and a hungry baby at home waiting to nurse, they didn't hesitate to help.   A really nice guy checked with his boss and headed right out to save the day and get us safely on our way.

THANK YOU again to James at Veca!!!

Thank you for coming out quickly and getting the job done.  This is a company that I would recommend to anyone with electrical work needing to be done.

Excellent service, communication and professionalism.  The quote for replacing our electrical panel was reasonable compared to others and we were scheduled quickly.  The entire team was great to work with!  Would definitely recommend and use again!

Fast and reliable. Had them come out to install a new line for my car's charger and they were faster and less expensive than everybody else I got a quote from. My electrician and his apprentice did a great job!!! Took about half an hour and they went out of their way to fix the holes in my garage from ANOTHER electrician. Amazing service.

Dave and his team did a great job re-wiring old knob and tube in my turn of the century West Seattle home. Great communication throughout, super mindful of cleaning up after themselves, and were able to get the job done ahead of schedule! Good advice about possible future projects as well. I highly recommend!

After reading the other review here I called them up to clean up some wiring in my 1954 rambler.  The guy (Larry I think) went out and promptly created a work order with itemized parts, and scanned and emailed it to me.  The went out and did the work in advance of when it was scheduled (with my permission).  The work came out great and at the estimated cost.  I had them do some follow-up work to remove a junction box and re-splice some leftover wires, and they did it really quick and for much lower cost than expected.

Recommended.

Helped me with some electrical repairs in North Bend.  Arrived when he said he would, got his work done quickly, billing was just as he explained, nice guy overall.  What more can I ask for?

Jose replaced 4 exterior light fixtures and 4 interior ones. Additionally, he installed a bar light fixture, hid the cord behind the fixture, cut holes in the dry wall to rewire and added a light switch (including walking us through all of the alternatives to cord and switch placement). We very much appreciated his knowledge of aesthetics in rewiring the fixture. It looks great!

We were having a problem with multiple outlets on one room. He was able to identify the problem and find the tripped circuit. (We have 3 circuit boxes, but couldn't find the problem ourselves.)

Some of the light fixtures he installed seemed too bright for their locations. Jose was able to install dimmer lights as requested.

My husband and I greatly appreciate the professionalism and suggestions/insights into all of our electrical needs!

Great service and work. ESS helped install recessed lighting in our home. Shawn was very helpful when he provided the estimation and was quick to respond when I had questions. He offered fair pricing on the install and helped us save some money by advising us to purchase  our own lighting. The installers wore masks during the installation, were very communicative during the process, and they cleaned up after the job was done. One of the outlets was accused turned off after the install but they immediately sent someone over to fix it. Highly recommended!

I called Wire Craft just over a week ago to see if they could do some work at my house.  The women that answered the phone was friendly enough. I explained the problem that I had and she listened. She then said she would have an electrician call me back to see if they could do the work.  I have never gotten a phone call back. Not good business practice in my mind.
