ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER

Aloha! My name is Alfred Paul Sim; I am the owner and founder of OHM Electrical Contracting, LLC.

OHM Electrical Contracting is a full service electrical contracting firm, based in Seattle, with emphasis on renewable energy. I have experience in all areas of electrical construction, electrical business management and electrical engineering.

As a licensed 01-Master Electrician, there is not an electrical system that I haven't installed or designed or troubleshot. I was a foreman and project manager for 30 electricians on a high end mix-use building consisting of a hotel, apartments and retail space. I have ran the install and completed utility scale photo-voltaic systems as well as tiny house battery back up systems.

Growing up half Native American, I have a profound duty to work for a better environment and quality of life through technology that works in harmony with nature. Quality, renewable energy, efficient energy design and electrical safety are extremely important to me.

I could not be happier with my experience working with Ohm Electrical. I had a pretty massive knob & tube wire removal project for my home and they:

- came in with a bid that was HALF the cost of the two other bids i received
- completed the work exactly on time and at a high quality
- ended up costing even less b/c they identified work in the original bid that wasn't ultimately required
- communicated well the entire time

I also requested a quote a while back for my kitchen remodel and really wanted to go with Ohm Electrical but the general contractor I hired recommended his own guy. I regret not pushing to go with Ohm on that one!

Ohm did the seemingly impossible. We had been really struggling with someone that could do a small job of adding some outlets to help us keep some cords away from a newly mobile baby. Not only did the quickly respond, they offered to come do the walkthrough so quickly that we were the ones who were unavailable. From there we were scheduled for the walkthrough and the work done all in the span of a week. They even recommended we go to a four outlets behind the TV so we could eliminate a power strip which in hindsight was ab obvious improvement that we just didn't think to ask for and they didn't change the charge. If you like responsiveness, follow-through, and quality work, they're your people. They are worth every bit that they charge, and I hope they continue to expand so it's easier for folks to get smaller jobs done faster. Thank you so much!

Contacted OHM to get a free quote to get some three way switches wired correctly in a house we had just moved into. But before the tech got to the house, someone from their office called and said that they thought the appointment should be for a time and materials appointment and not a quote appointment and that it should only take ONE hour. I trusted the caller's opinion and agreed to change the appointment. I was at work when the technician showed up and only my wife was at home. The job ended up taking 3.25 hours and costing $1,100. Can't help but to feel tricked by OHM.

Power went out to about half of my apartment, and my property manager called Ohm after he attempted to sort it out himself. It was a breaker situation and Alfred helped me fix it over the phone. He could have come out and charged me - I don't know anything about this stuff and had been previously told it could be a loose wire. I appreciated his help and straightforwardness!

They are the absolutely best electricians that I have ever worked with.

Very competent, very honest, I highly recommend them.

Ohm Electrical is very responsive- I was able to get an appointment scheduled that worked for my timetable immediately! Alfred was very prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. He quickly troubleshot my issues and explained what was happening. He was able to send me a detailed plan and has very reasonable rates - highly recommend!

We contracted Ohm to install an EV charger in our parking space of our multi-unit condo building a couple of years ago. They knew exactly what they were doing and were extremely professional and efficient. Years later when our building had some questions about the project, they responded immediately and were able to get us the information we needed within hours. We are very grateful to have worked with Ohm and would 100% recommend them for future projects!

These guys were great. A very smooth operation with timely response and great work. And they didn't want to extort me like the other electricians I had come out.

We had them come out to give an estimate on 3-4 small/simple electrical jobs. They came out, took a look, explained what would need to be done, and then left saying they would be back in touch. They never got back in touch and repeated attempts to get ahold of them have been met with silence. Not sure what happened but they seem to ghost their customers.

Needed a new electrical panel installed in my home. Alfred made good suggestions and provided a bid that was reasonably priced. They were able schedule the work in one week and did a good job with minimal disruptions.

They also arranged to have the new panel inspected and it passed with flying colors. I also had them change out some recessed can lights with LEDs and dimmers. Very easy to work with. I am pleased with my upgraded electrical system.

Best electrical company I have ever worked with. Very up front and had great ideas to help with costs. Work was fast and clean. Great team.

Had an electrical panel upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp.

Ohm Electrical did a knob and tube removal and some minor electrical additions to the house (EV charger and garage wiring). All in all, some 50+ outlets/switches/lights across two floors, that needed to be updated or installed, and some old knob and tube tie-ins with the newer electrical from previous upgrades needed to be tracked down and disconnected.

Alfred (the owner) came for initial assessment, and stopped by every once in a while during the project. The electricians Alex and Giuseppe were very helpful, professional, and open to concerns and happy to discuss multiple options of how to run the new wiring in the house. Alex did a particularly good job tracking down all existing tie-ins and doing final stretch of the project.

The only feedback I have is that their back-office operation seems to be swamped and sometimes there appears to be a miscommunication about what/where needs to be done in the bid/CO, partly due to inconsistent labeling and partly due changes in scope. So we had multiple back and forth about particulars of the bid /CO. I think it would have been better if they provided a doc that they can collaborate with the client to make all work items are where they are supposed to be, rather than using round trip update. Something like Google Docs make it easy for both sides to see all the changes that everybody made.

Extemely arrogant and unprofessional.

After installing new siding on our home, we had an issue where a circuit breaker would constantly trip. This left us with no power to 1.5 of our 3 bedrooms. Within 48hrs, OHM was able to come on-site (free) and produce a quote to troubleshoot the issue. Not only did they provide the most detailed estimate of the contractors we had come on-site, Alfred also greatly impressed us with his willingness to explain the process and answer any questions.

A week later, we had Chris and Justin at our house performing the troubleshooting. Just like with Alfred, they were on time, extremely polite/professional, and very responsive to all of our questions, including some that extended beyond the current issue at hand. Alfred also stopped by halfway through the service call and was able to give us an impromptu walk-through of potential additional options to address a separate, underlying concern Chris and Justin had found. However, Alfred was also very pragmatic in making sure we didn't take on unnecessary cost/work as he actively sought to understand what our actual needs/goals would be in order to determine if the additional work was necessary. Oh, and did I fail to mention they found the issue and fixed it in the same visit, not causing us to incur any additional charges from the troubleshooting quote (aside from materials)? =)

Overall, they were great, well priced, and very customer-centric. If/when we have any future electrician needs, we will be reaching back out to OHM and happily recommending them to others.

*NOTE: Our home is from the '40s with a LOT of unique electrical design choices that OHM had to overcome, further adding value to the service they provided!

I can't thank Alfred enough! Our main power breaker decided to crap out on us on a Saturday evening and Alfred was the ONLY electrician we could get a hold of at that time. We were doing basement renovation electrical stuff, so he had us walk through what we were working on to see if he could diagnose the issue to save him having to come out there (although he was willing to come if needed). He was honest in that the part we needed wasn't even available til Monday anyway, so no point in paying the emergency fees to have him come out. He arrived first thing Monday morning with the issue already diagnosed and had our power on in no time. He was timely, honest, and willing to help through the entire process so we decided to have him bid our upcoming electrical work for the entire basement. Highly recommended: )

We had Ohm Electrical Contracting add a 50 amp NEMA outlet and a whole-house surge protector to our panel this summer. Start to finish in under 3 hours.

Alfred was punctual, courteous and knowledgeable, answering any and all questions happily. Will definitely call them again for any work we need done in future.

Don't trust! Owner Alfred did some work on electrical panel.. and he reset my power so I would think it was fixed..30 minutes later same electrical issues happening..I called him and he said it would be more money and service fees (of course) In trying To figure out what he did I reviewed my surveillance and caught him red-handed!! ONLY AFTER I CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT IT He agreed to give me a partial refund of the absurd amount of money he charged me...No excuses he gives will suffice his attempted scam move.

Ohm is great! We are purchasing a house and there were some significant electrical problems. Ohm was quick to come to the house, investigate the issue and provide their guidance. We will certainly be using them for any future electrical needs!

I requested a quote through Yelp for a new home service panel and a couple outlets in my unfinished garage. Ian scheduled and appointment and came out to estimate the job. A week later I get an e-mail telling me I need to coordinate with my utility to get him the exact location of my electrical vault. I asked for the quote, and was told that I couldn't get a quote without providing him with that information. I don't want to know where my electrical vault is - I want an electrical contractor that knows how to find that. Couldn't even get a quote. Waste of my time.

The first time that I had work done by Ohm, it went okay aside from a mess left behind and damage to a tree. The second time, things went very wrong. They did work that I specifically said not to do, unbalanced the insulation in my attic and were going to leave without redistributing it, and cut very large holes in my walls. Alfred said that there would be a couple of small holes. Three-foot high holes are not small and cost more to repair than the electrical work. The worst part was that he accused me of having memory problems and then said he would assist with repairs. After he said that, he left and of course denied having ever stated that. Be prepared for the standard company rebuttal of we're sorry you misunderstood blah blah blah. They obviously have had to use that line before with other dissatisfied customers. Don't be fooled.

I called due to smoke detector going off without any apparent reason. Ohm returned my call promptly, had someone out to our house before the end of the day. Alfred, showed up, wearing a mask and ready to dive in. He was very knowledgeable and explained what the error points could be and offered me an option to do the work myself and save a few bucks, which I appreciated. Being not handy and wanting it done right I asked him to proceed. He was able to procure and install all new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout the house quickly. I will call Ohm again for any future electrical needs.

Al at OHM has been a godsend! We called OHM panicking because we had a sump pump problem and not only did he get to us ASAP, he talked my husband through the process so he could understand what was going on. We enjoyed the experience so much we contracted Al to come back to do other complex electrical work in the house, including hot tub wiring. Al is always pleasant and gracious and shares information so you can be an educated homeowner. We trust him so much we let him come in the house when we weren't even home. Prices were also reasonable as compared to what we found. You can't go wrong choosing OHM. Trust us!

I live in a vintage camper trailer with dated and poorly done wiring. I called after one of my lines stopped working. Alfred quickly diagnosed and repaired the issues, while also providing useful electrical information.

Great experience working with Alfred and his crew to install an outlet for an outdoor sump pump. They fit us in quickly and Alfred spent a good amount of time talking through options with me. Definitely would use again.

I had a great experience with Alfred Paul. He was communicative, prompt, readily available, and knowledgable. He did homework on my problem in just the few hours between when I called and when he came to my home. Highly recommended.

They've helped with large projects (installing a car charger) and slightly smaller projects (running new outlets to a room from the breaker box) and they were very helpful and knowledgeable the whole way through

Came out within an hour of calling him on a Saturday afternoon to fix a major problem with our electrical system at our business. Super fast and professional. Clearly explained the issue and fix and made us feel comfortable with the result. We will definitely be using Ohm for any future electric work.

I found Paul through Craig's List and he responded right away and was able to come out and right away to help me with a small project in my bathroom. When Paul arrived I found out I was his first customer for his new Electrical Contracting business. Paul did a great job; I needed to have a vanity light moved and a new bathroom fan/light installed. He completed the project quickly and efficiently. I'll definitely use Ohm Electrical again in the future.
