Wilderness Electric

I had a 20A breaker go bad in my electrical panel, and I couldn’t change it. So, I called around late in the afternoon to various electricians, and Wilderness Electric was able to come out the next morning! The technician was great and very knowledgeable. He had electricity restored within minutes. There is a flat hourly fee for service, with a minimum of 1 hour charge for the service call and initial hour of work, $ 105 per hour if I recall. All in, it was about $ 150 for the part, the 1 hour charge, and tax. I will be happy to use Wilderness Electric again for future electrical needs and recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work!

After reading the great postings about this company. My husband and I chose them to do a simple project in our front entry. I made the appt a week in advance. I was told that an electrician would come to my home between 9am and 12pm. By 12:20 pm I had received no phone call stating their tardiness. I had to call the company and ask what was going on. With no apology or reasoning the receptionist stated she’d call the electrician and get back to me. She never called back. However, I did receive a call from the electrician, Oreo, at 12:45 stating he could be there between 2 and 2:30, showed up at 2:50. Again no reasoning for the delay. During the installation of a new entry light fixture the electrician chose to cut down the length of the screws without fitting them first. It took him about 15 minutes to install new screws into the light fixture. With all of this said my bill was not reduced due to their tardiness or due to the fact that the electrician made a bad call about the screw length for the light fixture and the additional time. Any future electrical work we need we will be finding help elsewhere.

Called them this morning. Steve showed a couple hours later and fixed my problems. I plan to call Wilderness again when we start the home remodel. What is hard to find these days is Great Customer Service; Wilderness has got it!

My husband and I have been real estate brokers in South King County for 25 years and have always referred our clients to Wildermess Electric. We recently hired them to wire an attic fan in our own home and the electrician showed up at exactly the time they said and the bill was less than expected. He was polite and explained everything thoroughly. It reinforces again why we want our clients to have top notch service and Wilderness Electric has always delivered.

Had them install boxes for ceiling fans in three bedrooms and an extra light in our master bathroom. Oreo did a great job. Work was performed professionally and quickly. After they were done I went to vacuum and found one of the outlets they had worked near wasn’t working. I called and left a message. Oreo returned my call quickly and returned later that afternoon and had it corrected within 10 minutes. Also while he was in our attic he noticed the drain pan under our furnace was almost overflowing. He alerted me right away. I called the company (Evergreen) who installed our heat pump less than a year ago and am dealing with them as we speak to get their work corrected under warranty. Had Oreo not alerted us to their mistake we would have had a major water damage issue on our hands. Not only did he do a great job on our electrical but he saved us a huge headache with a completely unrelated issue.
Rick at Wilderness did the bid for us and was very professional and friendly. They had the best price and by far exceeded our expectations!

They called back right away, came out within the hour and had my problem fixed in no time. Super friendly too. Great company!

These guys are fantastic!
Okay, so how many people can say they are super pleased with their electrician? If you want a great experience and need work done… these guys are the ticket.

I’ve been doing a kitchen remodel and electical work was the one thing I needed to hire someone for. I needed new overhead lighting, some additional outlets, a solution for a dark pantry and wiring for a new vent hood. I called three or four places that resulted in being stood up for appointments or never receiving a bid after the appointment and several calls. Then I talked to Rick at Wilderness Electric. He was on time to the appointment and provided me with a bid the next day.
Steve did the work on my house, and he was great. He got the work started and inspected. Then I needed to complete some projects in order for him to finish the work. It took me longer than expected, but once I was ready he came out again to finish everything up.
He really took the time to make sure the lighting was both efficient and looked great. These guys know what they’re doing and make sure it’s done right!

We had Steve with Wilderness Electric work on our HOA pond fountain electrical system after another electrician had pretty much mad a hash of it. He was always on time and coordinated with the other companies on the job so his part was always ready when needed. The new fountain and panel are in and the electrical work if superb. This was a 7 ½ HP, 440 Volt pump so some pretty heavy duty stuff. Thanks!

Always my choice when I need electrical work. Wilderness Electric is quick to respond to my inquiries as well as getting out to the job. I have referred many of my clients to them and have always received rave views back.
