The Electric Company of Seattle Inc

Lighting, electrician

About us

The roots of the Electric Company can be traced back to 1979 when founder Stephen Brandeis first began doing business under that name, providing electrical services to his local community. Where did the name come from? His kids will tell you that he was inspired by one of their favorite TV shows from that era, The Electric Company. When the family moved to Seattle in the early 1990s the name came with them, and since then the business has grown and more family members have joined the team. We're proud to be family owned and operated, and we want our customers and employees to feel like family too. If there's ever anything we can do to help just let us know. We're right there when you need us!

Great but way overpriced for work done. I paid it because we needed it done now but would have saved money had I shopped around. Would have been nice to get good pricing from the beginning.

VERY prompt. Job completed within hours of initial call for bid. Since this was a relatively small job that I was able to fairly clearly scope, we worked from an initial verbal bid. Completed job was about 25% less $ than bid.

Stephen was wonderful to work with. He was patient and easy to communicate with. I had a lot of ideas and he gave me viable options for all of them. On the day that the work was being done, he called me with a couple of ideas he had that he felt might make the project better. He was correct and I truly appreciated him coming to me with ideas that I had not thought of. Clearly an honest company with integrity. Quick. Kind. I had an awesome experience and will use them again when I'm ready to do more updates on my home.

Steve gave a thorough explanation of what would be done to replace the old electrical panel. A portion of the wiring was not done the way Steve described it; a return trip remedied this. Steve continued working with us and Seattle City Light to get the final inspection and hookup. We met with some "new rules" the City put in place earlier this year, but with Steve's help everything was resolved...it just took 3 months! (not his fault) Electrice Company is professional, responsive and performed the work efficiently and quickly. Kathi M.

Came on time. Analyzed problem quickly. Fixed it. No problem and no BS. Very pleased with the service provided by their Master Electrician, Stephen Brandeis. Price was quite reasonable. Definitely would recommend to friends.

Stephen was prompt and was able to replace the electrical panel in our condo to our tenant's satisfaction earlier this year (3/30). I thought the price for the work was more than reasonable and would certainly give him a call should additional work be needed in our home. He was also timely with his email replies with is a plus.

I thought they overcharged and under-delivered. Their work was inconsistent and of poor quality. I would not work with them again.
