Best Lighting Installation in Seattle WA

I first heard of Red Line Electric when I submitted a quote to another electrician in my area via Yelp and allowed the site to copy the request over to a few other local electricians. Jessica and Igor were extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. Igor came by in person to assess the work and then completed it a week later. Not only did he do an excellent job (which included inspection and permitting!), but his quote was by far the most competitive of the bunch AND he got us scheduled THREE weeks before any of the other bids I had gotten!

I can't recommend Red Line Electric highly enough and will definitely hire them in the future!

[The longer version aka trials and tribulations in looking for an electrician]

In August, we splurged on a hot tub - a long-term dream of my husband. We waited until late October to get it delivered. The hot tub store gave us an electrician referral and we contacted them ahead of time so that it would all get set up at once.

Well! The hot tub was successfully brought in and installed, but the electrician didn't show. No heads-up, nothing, just stood us up. We emailed them to ask for a different date and agreed upon a day two weeks later. You  guessed it... they didn't come again! We finally realized that we should look elsewhere and started calling people for referrals and later turned to the good old Yelp.

In short, I got a hold of 5-6 electricians by November 9th. One of them wouldn't even be able to do an estimate until November 29th! Others had faster turnaround on the assessment, but could only do the work on December 14th or December 20th. And their quotes were double what we expected from when we talked to the hot tub salesman.

So yeah, I could not believe my fortune when Igor came out to do an estimate a week after our initial contact and then fit us into the schedule a week later - today, in fact! :-D We're hosting extended family for Thanksgiving this year and I'm so excited that they'll be able to use the hot tub when they come! (gotta score points with the in-laws, you know)

Anyways, I don't know if this is due to COVID contractor crunch, but this whole electrician finding saga ended up being much longer and more stressful than I anticipated but ended on a very happy note!

Thanks for being my personal little Thanksgiving miracle, Red Line Electric! :)

Pasha did a very good job. He came the next day after I called him. Showed up on time, fix the issue much quicker than I expected. Cleaned everything before he left.  I highly recommend him.

I needed to get a upgrade to my circuit breaker. Sadly I wasn't able to have FSE do it due to the owner of my building. However they were great with open communication and pricing. The owner was very open to sending any information that was asked and gave a quick quote for the work I needed done.

I highly recommend Vets Electric for any electrical needs. They are professional and efficient. We had a miscommunication re: a billing issue, and they resolved the issue promptly. Look no further for your go-to electricians!

My home was is in serious need of re-wiring, something I don't have any interest in learning how to do on my own.  I got Electric Company of Seattle's name and information from Yelp, and noticed from their own website that they offer free estimates, so decided to give them a call.  The woman who answered the phone was very friendly, taking my information and letting me know that she would get back to me and let me know what times may work to have someone come to my house and take a look at all the work I needed done.  Within a couple of hours, I got a call-back and we set up a time for my estimate, between 3:00-6:00 pm on Thursday, April 1.  

On the day of my estimate I left work early and headed home to wait for Electric Company of Seattle to arrive at my house.  I waited.  And waited.  And waited.  Problem was, nobody from Electric Company of Seattle ever showed up.  Not only that, I never received a phone call cancelling, rescheduling, or apologizing, even though I know from their previous call-back to me that they had my phone number.

Obviously, since Electric Company of Seattle stood me up, my review/rating does not cover quality of workmanship, pricing, etc.  But, when it comes to reliability and trustworthiness, Electric Company of Seattle fails big-time.  There are plenty of other well-rated electricians on yelp that you should call instead of Electric Company of Seattle.

I called Brian after a friend of mine had recommended him...he had done a great job I was told.
I needed two ceiling fans with lights and a switch...he said no problem...when would you like them installed...I said it'll have to be on a weekend because I'm out of town so frequently for work...he said no problem   We agreed on date and time and to my great satisfaction...Brian and Wyatt were on time and completed the job in three hours !!
Now this would  have been faster if the fans were assembled before they had arrived.
The guys did an excellent job...they were clean...on time...and the price was very reasonable.
I will use them when ever I need work done

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

I would not do business with these guys. Several of their installed GFCI burnt out on a house we just purchased. They came to take a look at it and blamed it on other contractors. They went ahead and replaced them all without giving any quote or estimate. They were there for about 45 mins. Later sent me a bill for $500 which I had perceived to be warranty related work. If it was not, they should have been upfront and provided a quote so I could decide I want to work with a company who does work that fails so quickly. I would not be surprised if I find more issues with their work.

Earlier today (7-31-2015), 24/7 Electric & Plumbing workers finished installing our new whirlpool bathtub.

If you by chance are having nearly as much difficulty as I did locating a reliable, quality contractor to do some work around your home, you might want to consider my experience with this company. Here it is, in a nutshell:
       1. Out of ten different contractors that I contacted about this job, only 24/7 E&P managed to reply the same day I called them. Most of my calls to other prospective contractors were never answered at all.
       2. They offered quick turnaround on appointments for in-home estimates, and arrived for those appointments precisely when they said they would.
       3. I can't claim that 24/7 E&P's estimates for the work were competitive because none of their competitors bothered to provide me with an estimate. But I will say this: the estimate for the electrical work seemed very reasonable and I was ultimately charged that exact amount. Meanwhile, the estimate for the plumbing work surprised me a bit at how high it was...but what I didn't catch when the fellow doing the estimate said it to me was that the number he provided me was a worst case scenario. As it turned out, the charge for the plumbing work was almost exactly one-half of what the estimate was.
       4. I received two different appointments from 24/7 E&P - one for electrical work, one for the plumbing. Both crews arrived on time, worked non-stop and did what appears to me at this early point absolutely outstanding work. At job's end, I was given a business card with the main installer's personal work phone and told to call him if and when I encountered any sort of problem with the work.

There. That's it.

I'm not a particularly easy person to impress, but 24/7 E&P did just that. If my experience seeking remodeling help was typical, it appears that the conventional wisdom about contractors sometimes lacking strong communication skills and often being a bit on the unreliable side is very well founded. But the work 24/7 E&P did for me demonstrated that they are cut from entirely different cloth, and I feel very comfortable giving them an exceptionally strong recommendation.

They arrived on time, very friendly, and provided a high quality installation. We would use their services again.

We've always gotten superior help from Northstar, but I'm curious now that the owner Doug is leaving early 2014. Anyone know what's going on with them?

Well now I know. Lead electrician Rob took over and the great work will continue. Thanks Rob -- and Doug.

I had an electrical issue during the recent storm and Shawn and his partner were available on short notice to help out. They diagnosed and fixed the issue and also gave me some good advice on future updates I can do to prevent similar issues. Professional and courteous. Thank you!

I was told that my fan installation would be $75 per hour and would take about 4-6 hours. The person quoting left off the fact that it was $75 per man hours and that it would take a team of 2 to complete the job in 4 to 6 hours. Since this was a two person job, the total charged per hour was actually $150 per hour. This is pretty misleading when deciding on having the work done and leads to a bit of shock when the invoice is presented.

On a positive note, the staff performed the work as stated, they completed the job within 4 hours, and were very courteous so I cannot complain about the workmanship.

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!

This is the second time we have used Galaxy Electric and Solar and both times the service has been very thorough and they will do what ever is needed to help fix the problem.  Today, Zoran came back after leaving to problem solve with our plumber from southwest plumbing.   THANK YOU FOR THE EXCELLENT SERVICE.

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.

This company was contacted for me by my interior decorators. What a great electrician!!!!!  James arrived promptly at 8 a.m. to install a new outlet box in my bathroom. He defined the project clearly, quickly assembled all the necessary parts, and finished the job in the exact amount of time he had estimated. Everything was left in pristine condition. James also happens to be a delightful person and extremely knowledgeable. Simply put, he did a fabulous job.
