Electrical reviews in Olympia, Washington

The initial visit was to assess the needs to upgrade our 40 year old electrical system to code, add a few outside outlets and to replace and enlarge the electrical panel. SD (Jacob, lead electrician) spent 3 hours assessing our needs, answering our questions and formulating a very detailed estimate with options….sort of a menu from which we could select the work to be done.
Jacob and the crew were all so very polite, Very patient respectful of our property and had excellent communication with us as they proceeded to work on the two days they were at our home.
They took additional pictures ( While they were working) of things they saw in our attic and under the home that may need attention. (Since we had mold near our roof line we can take care of that immediately.)
There was a crew of four who worked for two entire days at our home. They were respectful of our space, polite, and left the place cleaner than when they arrived.
The owners of the company have high expectations of their employees, and have the utmost integrity in their business operations.
We chose to hire Shocking Difference after reading many many stellar reviews. We’re thankful we did.

Contacted for a quote an a big project , they where able to work around our crazy schedule and understood our wants, anticipating our needs and provided us with multiple options that would work for the protect and our budget ..
Our electrician Mr Dunn was friendly , courteous and extremely knowledgeable , he provided us with experienced opinions and made this quote easier to understand… and to our suprise he also provided a multipoint inspection of our home electric system. Highly recommend them

We did an electrical upgrade to our house with Shocking Difference. It was a big job and a lot of work. They did an excellent job, as they always do. They pulled all of the permits and managed the project. They gave us an estimate and adjusted accordingly at the end. They are honest hard working people that do the work right the first time. We have had smaller work done by them in the past and chose to go with them again based on our experience with them. We will always get our work done by them because of they are excellent at what they do and always a pleasure to work with.

They were super fast at responding to my request. Jared came out the next day and completed the job. He was very thorough & easy to work with.

We had a great experience with Shocking Difference! They replaced a few breakers for us and installed an EV plug, and everything was done professionally and efficiently.

Jared Cline was our technician, and he was excellent. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. The work was completed neatly, and everything is working perfectly.

It’s hard to find reliable electricians, but this company definitely lives up to its name. We would absolutely recommend Shocking Difference — and especially Jared — to anyone needing electrical work done!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Shocking Difference for some electrical work at my business, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! As a fellow small business owner, I know how crucial it is to find a reliable team, and this company delivered.

From the moment they arrived, the team was professional and friendly. They took the time to walk me through the entire process, explaining each step and providing multiple options to choose from. Their transparency and willingness to answer all my questions made me feel reassured that I was in good hands.

Not only were they efficient and trustworthy, but their attention to detail was impressive. I highly recommend Shocking Difference to anyone in need of electrical services. They have earned my five-star rating, and I look forward to working with them in the future!

I had a great experience with Veterans Electric! Sean and Juan were friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable electricians who fixed my outlet issue in no time. Their level of professionalism and customer service was top-notch. I highly recommend Veterans Electric for anyone in need of an excellent electrician!

Army Vet here. Had trouble with my outdoor outlets and the wall switch powering my gas fireplace. Emma and Shawn are very knowledgeable and offered me tips to troubleshoot myself. During the visit, I was so impressed by their professionalism. Veterans Electric not only will fix your problem but they'll communicate with you every step of the way, from what to expect, costs, and potential problems. They care about giving you the best service with the best value. Call them, you'll be happy you did.

Sean provided me with a detailed estimate before we agreed on a start date and time. He arrived on time and finished the job just as he estimated. I am extremely satisfied with the work done. Great job!

Sean and Juan were both very professional and quick to install a new outlet above our gas fireplace. Sean and Juan worked together to install and recommend placement of our new outlet to best fit our needs. We will definitely use Veterans Electric for all our future electrical projects. From the customer service with Emma, bid from Sean, and installation with Sean and Juan, we were very happy from the very first phone call. Would highly recommend!

I am pleased to have hired Veterans Electric after going over bids I received to install a new 20 amp dedicated circuit. Every interaction was very professional between Sean and when calling the office and speaking to Emma. Received a phone call before they would show up and was not late to the appointments for the bid and to complete the work. I found the quality of work was great and the electrical inspector signed off on the work with no issues. Sean cleaned up the work area when finished and I didn’t need to do any additional cleaning. Also took the time to answer questions that I had and never appeared bothered to answer them. Highly recommend Veterans Electric for your electrical needs and won’t hesitate to use them in the future.

Everyone, from their scheduler to their technicians, was super friendly and helpful. The scheduler helped me troubleshoot the electrical problems I had over the phone and when that didn’t work she promptly scheduled an appointment to have a technician come out and troubleshoot.

I have a toddler and a dog and the technicians were super friendly and understanding to my toddler being loud and needed. They also did a step by step explanation for everything they were doing and why. They were super informative and helpful.

My experience was a 10/10 and I will recommend them to everyone under the sun. I will definitely call again the next time I need electric services.

Needed some electrical work done for a planned solar panel project as well as to have a ceiling fan installed. Contacted a few others that were either non responsive or project too small.
Sean is a great communicator about your project, kind, polite, honest, great personality and professional. Corrected some issues with some switches, completed the install & confirmed fan worked as it should. Responsive to my questions. Strongly recommend to anyone needing electrical work. He will definitely be my electrician of choice for any future projects.

Called and was able to get a same-day quote and next-day job to replace my wall heaters and thermostats. Great timing for me! The work was exactly what I wanted and Sean and Juan worked quickly and cleaned up well. Price was good as well, as I got a quote from another electrician for twice the price. Would recommend 👍🏼👍🏼

Shawn and Emma were both so professional and helpful when we had a light switch issue and needed help. When he came out to do our repair and give us an estimate for adding some lighting he provided money and time saving advice. In this day and age we were so thankful for that knowledge and not just trying to make a buck. If we had went with our original idea we’d have to repair it later once our home renovations started. Then he fixed our issue very quickly and explained how and what the wires meant incase we come across this again. We will definitely use them again in the future and would recommend to others.

We are very pleased with the work Sean has done. The first time he came was at my parents home to fix an issue and we were so happy with the service we used them again! If we have any other issues I will definitely be calling them and referring them to anyone who may need electrical work done!

I called Veterans Electric to get an estimate for the addition of a new outlet in my garage. I was given a tentative estimate over the phone and an appointment was set for the work to be done. Shawn showed up for work as promised, and I appreciated that he wore a mask and gloves for my protection. Shawn arrived in a truck that was fully equipped with materials and equipment so he was ready to work as soon as we agreed on the final estimate. He worked quickly and carefully and took special care to keep the workspace clean. I am a very satisfied customer and will definitely contact Veterans Electric the next time I need electrical work done. Highly recommend.

Had Mr. Shawn help me out with my problems at home and not only did he fix my issues, but he did it in a professional manner that was nothing less than outstanding! He was very knowledgeable and answered every question I had with high confidence. He took the time to answer the questions Barney style so someone like myself who knows nothing of electrical work can understand. He gave me several ideas and recommendations so if I have a problem again, it would save me time and money! I was impressed with how quickly he was available as well. I called in today, and came out 45 mins later… and was done in an hour! I’d highly recommend this gentlemen and this company!

We've had Sean do a couple of jobs for us - installing new lighting and replacing broken fixtures. He's on time, reasonably priced and provides excellent customer service. I highly recommend him for your electrical needs.

We had several indoor and outdoor outlets that needed and install and relocation. We got a next day quote and all the work was done at our next earliest convenience a few days later. Sean and his associate were professional and respectful of our home. They listened to our plans and gave several options and recommendations to make the install even better than we were expecting. Their work was clean and visually appealing. At the end of the job they cleaned up their workspaces and left the house in better shape than any contractor we have used previously.

Very happy with the work we had done today. Scheduling was quick and easy, and he was thoughtful enough when taking out our ancient baseboard heaters to clean up the hole left in the drywall to make it easier to patch. I will definitely call Veterans Electric next time I need work done.
