Recent Electrician Reviews in Olympia
- Seatown Electric Plumbing Heating & AirAfter sending out requests to multiple electrician contacting online sites (Angi, etc.), we chose Seatown based on two factors that were important to us: 1) competitive hourly rate; 2) resources. The latter was a paticular critical concern since our elecrical problem incident had resulted in an extension cord being seperated from its plug (minor explosion followed by a spark and smoke) during plug into the wall socket, resulting in the circuit going partial "dead". Consequently, we had concerns that a complex issue may be involved. Seatown initally scheduled us for the next day; however, an electrician became available a couple of hours later and they were able to respond at that time (thank you Brenda). Our problem was resolved after the technician, Gage, check the system, electric panel box, and wall plug-ins on the impacted circuit, and we were back to "full power' within a couple of hours. Gage replaced a 35 year old breaker that was part of the issue. Addiionally, we had him check an outside outlet that would occasionally trip the GFI switch. The outside outlet was part of the GFI system for our three bathrooms. Turns out that due to bathroom remodels a few years ago, that paticulair line was near its maximum load, thus causing the GFI trip if anything above a certain out put was plugged in and operated. It shouldn't present a problem going forward now that we know the load limits. We found the total invoice cost fair and market driven; and Gage not only explained the issue(s) but made sure we actually understood in non-electrical terms. Overall a very pleasent, profession exsperience
- Seatown Electric Plumbing Heating & AirMalik is a highly competent and friendly electrician. He makes useful recommendations for potential solutions.
- Switch Electric LLCEverything went well from the initial quote to the installation. Everyone I worked with was friendly and knowledgeable. I had an EV charger installed, and they talked through all the options and the different costs. On the day of the installation, the team did great work, they cleaned up the worksite, and they communicated clearly
- Switch Electric LLCABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, THE BEST ELECTRICAL TEAM YOU WILL FIND. I have been a Switch customer for 3.5 years, and the owner, Tyler, and his team are exceptional. You know great service and commitment when the owner is on vacation and still answers his phone in the middle of the night. We had an electrical panel blow and catch on fire, and had the fire brigade out for safety. When the lead Fireman looks at you and says, "you have your electrician coming out right now? Wow, don't see that very often.", you know what unparalleled service this team delivers
- Switch Electric LLCSwitch Electric upgraded our electrical service from its original 60A to 200A, added a subpanel and outlet in the garage to support an EV, and a generator plug and transfer switch. Alex and his team did an excellent job over the two days of work. I could not be happier. Great communication and fantastic work. I'm extremely pleased with the end result. I'll be using Switch again for future projects and for anyone looking for a recommendation
- Seatown Electric Plumbing Heating & AirWe hired SeaTown to replace a leaking shower. Other plumbing companies told us that we would have to tear out the entire wall of the shower because of the old fixtures. SeaTown came out, gave us an estimate and worked with us to find a solution that fit our budget. They were punctual, professional, friendly and honest. They completed the job in less than the estimated time and did quality work. We would definitely hire them again
- Switch Electric LLCAlex and his crew did an excellent job rewiring our 1930s house. The house had substandard knob and tube wiring throughout and needed to be ripped out and replaced with modern wiring. There were many challenges including lack of crawl space, sub-optimal attic access, and old plaster lath walls. Their skill, precision, and dedication to doing everything "the right way" really shows in the final product. We couldn't be happier with the way the project turned out. The communication was very open and Alex was extremely easy to work with. He made sure to point out any issues and let us know when unexpected obstacles were discovered. His advice and expertise was invaluable and he listened to our input while offering helpful suggestions. Alex and crew did the minimum amount of cutting necessary and had almost surgical precision the way they ran the new cables. They hung all of the new lights we provided and everything looks great now. I would absolutely work with Alex and Switch Electric again in the future. He and his crew are true professionals and really care about the work they do
- Seatown Electric Plumbing Heating & AirI had a lot of work done… Sub panel, level 2 charger, light switches single, 3 way and smart switches… over 15 switches) and a home surge protection too. It took a day and a half and the two technicians who came (Brett Fetzer & Steven Marquardt) were great to interact with. I did my best to keep out of their hair while they were doing the installations. Both took the time to keep me informed about each of the installation projects when I asked. I was never left wondering as to how it was going. This is my second time using Seatown and will use them again in the future
- Seatown Electric Plumbing Heating & AirThe Seatown team did a great job. I got quotes from 3 different recommended plumbing services, but the Seatown guys were the only ones who recognized we would need to upgrade our gas meter. They did a great job explaining how to get this scheduled with PSE. The estimate Seatown gave was on par with some of the other plumbers, so we went with them. They sent 2 service people to come and install the tankless and the guys were just excellent. I expressed concern about mounting the water heater on the beams in our basement because Our house is so old, so they came up with a better solution. They built a small wall frame to mount the water heater. No extra cost. When they found there was no outlet wired near the heater they were able to get an electrician from Seatown to come out and wire one up while they worked on the water heater install. Seatown aldo had a good scheduling method, sent text reminders the day they were coming to do the work with a photo of the person who was coming and a short set of info about the person. It was a nice touch, and a thoughtful safety measure. They did a great job with the install which took several hours. I’d definitely hire them again
- Seatown Electric Plumbing Heating & AirI’m very happy with the work. Gage was wonderful very nice and efficient. He got the job done with good humor in no time.

"Let's be honest; no one ever really wants to call an electrician, mainly because it means there is a problem we don't know how to fix, and we know that the repair is going to cost us. Here's the thing though, once you work with Seth Canfield you are going to want him in your home.
Seth is easy to talk to, conscientious, and fair. He listens to your questions or concerns without judgment and answers them in a language we non-electricians can understand. If, while investigating your original concern, he discovers another issue, Seth will explain his discovery and the possible implications of not fixing it, but all without pressure. His prices are more than fair and his work is top-notch. What impressed me the most is his follow-through. Seth will make sure that the job is done, and completed to your satisfaction.
