Reviews of local pros in North Plains, Oregon

This is a first class outfit. Hey ghoy recommend.

Great company and great work
Cam and Dan are great
They did the electrical for my business and were quick to respond when I needed assistance for my home
Thank you guys!

Global Electric Inc. installed ALL lights including Can lights in master bedroom & front porch, bathroom light fixtures, living room, dining room, kitchen, hall, stairwell, basement & adjoining rooms, & they sized/cut & hung upstairs stairwell Chandelier. Perfection! Great customer service!

This company was a nightmare to work with. If you're looking for an electrician in Portland, don't choose Global Electric. Our condo building in the Pearl hired them to do some electric work when our rood was replaced, at the recommendation of our roofers. Bad decision!

They were supposed to disconnect and then hook up various things again. To start with, they forgot to hook up my oven hood. Took me two weeks to get them back out here to fix it.

But it gets worse. They unhooked my water heater for my hydronic heating system, which was suppose to be taken off the roof an replace with a new one in a utility closet in my condo. The latter would require a bunch of rewiring. So the one off the roof was taken down. And then Global Electric disappeared. I spent TWO MONTHS calling them regularly, asking them to please contact me and make an appointment to get my heater hooked up.

The lady who answers the phone always said they were busy but would call me back, yet they never did. I told her every time how long I'd been trying to reach them, and she didn't care. One time her response was: "Well, he'll get to you when he's done. And if he doesn't have time, then he won't be able to get back to you." What kind of answer is that, when you have a half-completed job??? It was completely baffling... like I was in some kind of weird prank!

Eventually in late september it started to get cold outside, and I still had NO HEATING. The electrician had already billed the job to our roofers, who had billed it to us (though we had no paid), but at this point I had no other choice but to call someone else. And of course most companies were booked 6+ weeks ahead. Which would leave me in the cold without any source of heat! Eventually I got a company called PDX Electric to finish the job for me. Only took them an hour or two.

On top of abandoning me mid-project in a house without heat, with winter coming, Global Electric fixed some kind of junction box on the roof, but has not responded to our request to tell us which unit it belongs to, so the owner of that condo can pay. They keep sending us reminders to pay the bill, yet after SIX MONTHS of frequent attempts to contact Global Electric, we've still received no response.

Avoid at all cost!!

They need to stay in their lane. John had nothing but opinions on everything. He told the buyers of my house he thinks it smells like mold and it’s going to cost a tone of money to run celling heat. I wouldn’t buy this house if it was me he said. Never got a bid never said whatnot would take to fix and how much or anything that had to do with the electrical work he just talked them out of buying the house. I would NEVER use these guys in the future. Your an electrical company stick with electrical work. I had house inspected for mold when I bought there no mold. Might have been his upper lip.

This company is nothing but lies and deceit. They will install inferior products to save time and money. This includes improper wiring in health care facilities. They are members of Local 48, yet they are willing to break every rule in their contractual agreement. Their "safety team" fraudulently creates training cards to meet project requirements. Most of all equipment sent on projects is damaged, faulty or inoperable. This company is lacking integrity, honesty and a safety culture that will surely put you, your home, business or health at serious risk. There are many reputable companies within our area, this is not one of them.

Eastern Oregon contractor steps up to help community

WALLOWA - On Aug. 11, a hailstorm hit eastern Oregon's Wallowa County during the middle of the day – and right in the middle of the Oregon Department of Transportation's OR 82 Wallowa/Lostine ADA sidewalk ramp upgrade project. Global Electric was working as a project subcontractor, trying to shelter from the onslaught, when vacuum truck operator Randy Burns went to the rescue of a pedestrian – and others jumped in to help with the unexpected storm damage. Here’s what happened according to Contractor Murraysmith’s Construction Inspector Henry Lugo:
“During the peak of the hailstorm, Randy was sheltering alongside his Vac truck when he noticed an elderly woman crossing the highway at the Holmes Street intersection near the East end of Wallowa. The woman was clearly distressed, likely had a physical handicap, and had already sustained a head injury from the over 3” diameter hail. Randy selflessly ran to the woman’s aid, carried her to a nearby carport and provided care to her while waiting for paramedics to arrive. I have since heard that the women is recovering in a local hospital and that her injuries would have been much more serious and could have been fatal, if not for Randy’s quick actions.
“Following the hailstorm, drill operator Aaron Griffiths and laborer Willy Ramos immediately made the surrounding worksite safe, cleared the highway of debris for emergency vehicles, and closed an adjacent road that had downed overhead lines. Additionally, Aaron, Willy and Randy helped board up the windows of two residences that had suffered hail damage and donated most of the remaining plywood they had.
“At the time of the hailstorm, Matt Murray, journeyman electrician, was finishing up conduit install near the Wallowa High School. A flagger was injured in the hand by hail while trying to make it to shelter. Following the storm, Matt immediately took up the injured flagger’s post and helped direct both traffic and emergency vehicles until both travel lanes could be reopened
Randy, Aaron, Willy and Matt went far above their normal duties. It is clear that their fast actions aided members of the community and kept the traveling public safe during this emergency.”
ODOT Area Manager Ken Patterson heard about the efforts of the crew. It was just one part of a community wide response to the challenging weather system that caught many off guard.
“It’s just another example of our contractors going over and above when the need arises,” Patterson said. “They obviously stayed at their posts to protect traffic and put the safety of the public over their own.”

I have used Coy Electric for many years for my business and home. Jared, Micah and the team always come through. They show up when they say, do great work and are there in an emergency. I give the 5 stars and highly recommend!

Had a positive experience the first time for a big project and then had a very poor experience the second time for a smaller project. They kept forgetting about me and seemingly made excuses. Then kept saying they were waiting to hear about receiving a product and would never get back to me. When I would reach out they would then remember and delay again. Eventually, I went to another company who was easily able to source lights that Coy made a huge deal about finding. They did fine work when they did it but you may need to stay on them if you use them and hold them accountable and check in frequently.

Great 👦

Friendly crew, they treat us well.

We called WMS to service our 1 year old HVAC system. Zack was awesome as usual. Explained our new system, cleaned and made adjustments as necessary. Will call him for any problems we may encounter and of course all the maintaince.

Zach was able to come out on short notice and quickly diagnosed the problem. Even though he figured out what was wrong, he checked everything just to make sure he wasn't missing anything. Very thorough, professional, and friendly. Gave me all of my options and let me decide what was best. I highly recommend this company.

It is a pleasure doing business with Westside Mechanical Services. They are friendly and professional, and take very good care of my system.

I called Zach on a Monday, he was there on a Thursday with a new system. He even offered to run us out space heaters to our home to get through the cold nights that week. He was super quick to respond to my emails and texts and most importantly, he did what he said he would do, he and his apprentice got their Thursday morning and got right to work. Zach is very good and confident in what he does and trains his staff the same way. I was comfortable having Zach in my home and would have him out for any future maintenance or repairs. Thanks Zach @ Westside Mechanical

What a great experience. Zach was super friendly and knowledgeable. He talked me through the entire experience. It was very nice knowing what was actually going on and wrong with my system instead of just getting a bill. I would highly recommend this company!

I went in search of a HVAC service that was close by and willing to come quickly. When I called Westside Mechanical Services, I talked to a young lady who was extremely professional and responsive to my request to schedule a service appointment quickly. Within three days I had Zach at my house and he was right on time. No waiting at all on my part. He looked at our problem furnace and even agreed to look at our air conditioner. When he gave me the bad news that our system was at end of life (really past end of life) he took the time to show me what things actually looked like inside our system. It wasn’t a pretty picture! 😊 I then asked Zach to supply me with a quote to replace our system and I had that quote by the next day. The people who own and work at Westside Mechanical are the best and I would tell anyone to give them a call if they need their furnace/air systems cleaned, fixed, or replaced. Thanks Zach and Kat for your work and your time.

Zach showed up on time, serviced the furnace and provided great advice! Honest fee, I will definitely be using WMS again. Fair pricing, professional staff, love these guys!

Austin arrived right on time, went over our new furnaceand pronounced it in good health. He's courteous and pleasant and highly skilled. Thanks.

Great service! Westside Mechanical came right out when our AC wouldn't turn on for the year, and got us set up with a new unit. Furnace too! I felt like they were very fair in their assessment of the situation and in laying out possible solutions, which is always appreciated! I'd recommend them without hesitation.

Update- two years later and we just had WMS back out for duct repair after discovering a crawl space water issue had soaked the insulation surrounding part of our flex duct, causing it to collapse. They got us back up and going quickly, and were just as awesome to work with the second time around!
