Electrical reviews in Seattle, Washington

We called Bowie to fix an issue with the light of one of our bedrooms. We own a newly built home from 2019. What it was expected to be an easy job turned out to be a big one. Tiffany went above and beyond to make sure our family was left in a safe situation. After doing her first assessment she found out that the cable was broken somewhere between the ceiling fixture and the switch. After opening a hole in the ceiling, she found out a completely destroyed cable with the copper exposed posing a real safety hazard that the builders left without fixing during the construction of the home. Tiffany changed the cable and substituted it for a new one, installed the light fixture, and closed the holes in the ceiling. We are deeply grateful to Tiffany for her commitment and customer obsession. We definitely recommend Bowie to anyone looking for quality electrical services.

I had Ryan come out to take a look at getting rid of our knob and tube so we could insulate our attic. He was patient with answering all our questions. We ended up going with the rewire, a new electrical panel, and a 240 outlet for an EV charger on the exterior. Garret and Jay came to our house for 6 or 7 days, it was a big project. They were able to replace all our wiring and they only made 3 or 4 holes to do so in the whole house. They were creative, thorough, reasonably clean, and good communicators. They were able to replace all the old knob and tube and add some outlets in rooms that have textured lath and plaster that we love and it's tough to match the texture. They did so without making a single hole in those rooms.
These guys are the real deal.

Mark and his team did an excellent job with a dedicated circuit I needed for a sauna project in my backyard. Pricing was fair and the job was professionally done. No complaints and would definitely use them again in the future!

Ryan, John, and the Bowie Electric team have been helping me over the last couple of months re-wire and upgrade all things electrical (re-wiring and removing knob & tube, adding new outlets and switches, new fans, light fixtures, etc) at my very old house. They have done excellent work, are always on time, and kind and accommodating as I am a new homeowner and the scope of what I needed done has changed in real time. Please hire Bowie Electric! I will gladly work with them for any future electrical updates.

Upon a redditor's recommendation, I called Bowie electric to get a quote for several small-ish jobs I had piling up. After rattling off all the jobs to the gentleman who answered my phone call, he said that since they were small jobs, they would charge by the hour at a rate of $180/hr. Before I could comment, he quickly pivoted and said that somebody told him that the job is not that small and that they would need to send a technician out to provide a quote. Ok. But then, instead of scheduling and dispatching the technician themselves, they wanted ME to call and chase down THEIR employee. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and called the number they gave me. I left a message and, needless to say, the technician never replied back. Terrible customer service. And based on some of the other reviews I read here, I probably dodged a bullet.

Rick, who took my initial call, was extremely knowledgable and helpful and took extra time
with me over the phone to help me isolate an issue and get the correct work scheduled. Giovanni, the electrician who came out a week later, was quick, efficient and friendly. I would highly recommend Bowie for fast, affordable outlet (GFCI, in my case) installations, diagnostics, and general electrician work. I’ll work with them again in the future, I’m sure!

Excelente service! They help me a lot with a power problem and an issue with a thermostat, they are the best

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.

OHM Electrical has been a pleasure to work with. From my first contact with Ian and quote visit with Alfred through to efficient, professional work completed more quickly than expected by Giuseppe and Justin, I highly recommend this fantastic team. They were able to answer my questions and offer a terrific solution for my project.

So in spite of the fact that OHM electric overcharged for invoices the last time we hired them and we finally had to call to get them to straightened out the matter before paying, against my better judgement I hired Ohm again. I will say Alfred is a fairly competent electrician but Ian the guy who books the appointments and does the billing proved to be an absolutely nightmare, who can not be trusted with the truth. Please note that fact in that any response to this review by Ian will certainly be a misrepresentation .

So I scheduled the service at my address on line through their web site and then by calling. Both times I gave him my address and confirmed it. Then the night before they were suppose to come, all of a sudden he sends a text to my son, cancelling the appointment, because he alleges that we did not confirm the address for yet again, a third time,!

Apparently Ian sent an email which I did not notice wanting a third confirmation He triumphantly cancelled the appointment, even though he could have just taken the time to text or call to confirm the address if he still had doubts. Well we took off that morning to await them at the project and suddenly we got noticed that they was not going to show up. I feel like charging him for my time,

When I complained about his sudden cancellation, he told me I was unprofessional! Now that is an oxymoron if anything not only because all the unprofessional behavior was on the part of Ian whose tone was increasingly arrogant but the fact that he was the professional doing the business, and I was simply a customer who had given him all the contact info he needed if he had any questions,

So after unprofessionally cancelling the service on a whim, I decided never ever to use this company again, a fact I conveyed to them in no uncertain terms. There are in fact lots of other professional electricians that show up on time and don't try to shift the blame on to the customer after mistakes of their own making!

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!

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!

Amazing work, definitely recommended!

I had a lot of work to be done to an old house with an old panel:
-new 200 Amps panel
-level 2 EV charger
-home surge protection
-generator plug outdoor with interlock in main panel
-heat pump hook up

Alfred stopped by quick, did a free consultation and estimate, answered all my questions via email in details, for a few days we discussed all the details and he provided different options with associated datasheets. (I'm a really picky customer :) ).

He recommended me to get an EV charger level 2 to take advantage of the rebate ending in February, I was not even aware of that.

He also worked with the city seamlessly and in a timely fashion. When the work was scheduled, his team showed up and in a day they did all the work without any assistance.

The whole installation looks great, the team has great attention to details and they have been really accommodating my asks.

Great job Alfred and Ohm Electrical team!

Source for hard to find circuit breakers

Idk lol

They are always very helpful and always seem to have the exact crucial part I'm looking for. I can't recommend them enough!

Great source for all kind of breakers they are life saver. Customer service is super nice friendly and pretty knowledgeable people. Highly recommended!

I was having difficulty locating a replacement main breaker for an old panel. Time was of the essence, so glad I found this place! They knew exactly what I needed and had it in stock. Knowledgeable and friendly, can't recommend enough.

Platt, ace, all phaze and home depot all laughed and said you will never find the breaker you need they were discontinued years ago .. camco had 2 on shelf and saved the day

Electrical Systems Solutions replaced my office lighting and I couldn’t love it more! The old lights weren’t bright enough and didn’t match the vibe, so I contacted my neighborhood electrician, Electrical Systems Solutions who responded quickly, were super professional and upgraded my lighting in less than an hour. I feel much safer having had a personal install my new lights than trying to DIY it. Thank you so much Rich & Igor!

Super friendly and helpful!! Highly recommend! <3
