I needed the second floor of my older (knob and tube) home rewired. We went from only 1 working outlet, to about 12. Charlie was the only one who would come out and give me a me a free estimate. His price was much more reasonable than the few phone estimates I got. He was also able to get the job done much sooner than he had originally anticipated.
Seth does fantastic work, they were in and out in two days with only minor disruption to my family and passed the city inspection first try. I will absolutely be using them again in the future.
I have not had Charlie's Electric do any work at my house, but two of Charlie's employees were working across the street when our trailer came loose from our car. Without hesitation, these two men ran over to help and got our trailer hooked back up so we could be on our way. If this is the kind of employees that Charlie hires then I am all in when I need an electrician. I wish we would have remembered to get their names. They really saved our day, and we are so grateful.
I set up an appointment to meet with Charlie to come to my house in March of 2018. I was able to set up an appointment and Charlie came out the next day. We discussed all the work I wanted to have done and I even brought up future work I would like to have done. Charlie said he would get back to me with an estimate for the work that was to be completed right away. I waited five days and nothing, so then I texted him and inquiring about about the estimate, Charlie texted back I'M WORKING ON IT. BEEN REAL BUSY. To this day I still haven't received an estimate.
Sorry Charlie!! Very unprofessional!

Charlie's Electric came out and installed recessed lighting in our kitchen and family room. James and Cat recommended the placement and quantity needed, as we were not sure what we needed. They were both professional and courteous and did a fabulous job. They left our place looking new and bright. I highly recommend this company.

Charlie is unreliable. Promises to return to complete a job which he had been paid for then reneges when asked to complete. I have a hole above my panel he left. When I Called him all he wanted to do is whine about how bad he has it. When I pressed him on finishing what he started, he hangs up. When he left after the first and only time here, there was insulation tracked all over upstairs which I had to clean up.
UPDATE: 2/13/17 - Charlie had also promised a $100 refund in his response to my complaint to Consumer Affairs. He has yet to make good on that promise. Although his response letter was factually incorrect, I should have expected as much. He claims I became irate. In the end, you bet I was angry because I could not get a straight answer from him when I asked how soon he could come back to complete the job! 3x I asked and he tried talking over me. Note to Charlie, don't hang up on your customer. Part of customer service is LISTENING to your customer. You did not listen to me. This whole thing could have been avoided had you listened to my question, which was merely, How soon? It really is immaterial to the customer what your problems are. All they want to know is when you can do the job. That is all I wanted to know.
Puget Sound Electric Co. is dependable, friendly, and thorough. The owner, Charlie, feels like an ole' friend that will look out for you. I had my detached garage completely rewired including a new underground line from the house. Charlie came out and gave an estimate within days of my initial call. He provided an estimate/work scope that aligned with my project goals. His team completed the work in one day and even cleaned up after themselves. Charlie and his team are really clean-cut and respectable. Puget Sound Electric does a great job for a fair price.

We needed a few small repairs done so we could clear the appraisal and buy our house. Charlie came out and not only gave me a quote, but also checked out the entire house for me. All of the other electricians I contacted either didn't want to do the small jobs, or quoted me much higher prices. Charlie fit us in, and his technician did extremely quick and high quality work. As a result, we are now closing on our house! Charlie is now my go to for any future electrical needs.
If you want bad service, problems with inspectors, late service persons, unresponsive phone calls and liens on your property after paying. This is
is the company to use.

We hired Charlie to do a complete re-wire on our home in Auburn. Charlie and his team did a fantastic job. After the original bin, we decided to add some custom items and he was very accommodating and at a reasonable price.
I was not happy with the service that Puget sound electric they left part of the ceiling hanging down and I feel they should've fixed it.

I had the misfortune of driving in front of the owner of this company today. In a van with his number and company name clearly posted all over it, he rode my ass all the way through two school zones, driving half of it giving me the middle figure and attempting to film me while driving. He had only one hand on the wheel while messing with his phone, in his company vehicle. Would not recommend his services to any one, not with the lack of courtesy and rudeness that he drives with.
I needed to have my old FPE panel replaced, run another panel to my garage and install several outlets. Charlie came out, took a look at what I needed and advised me on upgrades that I he felt would work for me and my budget.
The bid was very detailed, clearly written and easy to understand. The quote was very reasonable, way less than a large chain had given me (the other company who looked at the job never got the bid to me, WTH?!). He had this to me within three days, as promised. The work was scheduled a few weeks later, and he estimated that it would take a full two days. What really stood out to me was that not only were Charlie and his crew on time, they were 25 minutes early and working within minutes of arriving! They finished up on day two in the early afternoon, and the inspection easily passed.
The work? Beyond anything I'd ever imagined wonderful!! I no longer have to worry about not having enough power or be concerned about something tripping or worse. I went on vacation to Cabo a few weeks after the work was done, and wasn't even concerned that something might go wrong with my new electrical system while I was gone. I am so happy with the main panel, outlets and box that he added to my garage. How I went so many years with such poor electrical is beyond me.
Charlie is my electrician for life, I'm so glad that I found such a honest, ethical, and hard working professional. I highly recommend him.

We had an entire wall ripped out, which required a significant amount of wiring to be rerouted. On top of that, the home was older with inconsistent wiring and GFIs - Charlie was not only thorough and friendly, he helped explain everything that was going on behind the walls. He was fantastic, and I can't recommend him highly enough.
Okay, so I very rarely write reviews, but I feel like this one warrants the time. This is a pretty amazing story. I called PSEC in the morning around 10am and explained I had lost power in a number of outlets inside and outside the house. Initially they said they could get someone out the next morning, but later that day they had someone (Seth) available and he came out and was so helpful and informative. I was also in contact with Charlie on the phone throughout the visit discussing pricing and options. After 2 hours Seth had my problem solved and I had a significant education in what our overall issues were and many options about what to do about them. No one tried to oversell services. I have a great appreciation for that. But that's not all. Charlie texted me an invoice later that day (very reasonable price) and I wrote a check that night! So, I called, got it all fixed, billed and paid for all in one day! Amazing. I totally recommend Charlie and Seth. A great team.

Charlie is friendly, professional, and trustworthy. He installed an exhaust fan in my bathroom. He will give you an honest quote over the phone and will do good, thorough work. I would recommend him for any of your electrical needs.
