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!

I would recommend them to anyone. The tech was very professional and personable. He made a potentially tricky cable installation look easy. No surprises...the final bill matched the estimate....which was very fair.

Their rates are quite reasonable compared to other electricians, but mostly, they are willing to do small miscellaneous jobs that others spurn. Very friendly and efficient.

There were delays in getting to our condo; however, the work was completed on the day it was scheduled. They old lighting fixtures and boxes were left in the unit. We were charged $160 for list hour and $80 for 1/2 hr. He installed 3 bath light fixtures, re-wired bath light, and checked fireplace. We would use them again.

Very fast response, nice company to work with. Final cost was considerably more than estimate even though we had fewer lights installed than originally bid, but probably due to some issues encountered with installations.

They showed up on time and knew exactly where to look for the problem, with backup plan if the problem was something else. My only complaint is that they did not share their minimum fee, so it was a little more than I was expecting.

I used the ratings and recommendations from Home Advisor to select The Electric Company. The workman showed up the same day, secured the needed materials and finished the work in about a half hour. This was a job I figured would take days to finish. I was pleased and more importantly, my wife was very happy.

I thought Mike was very nice and very prompt. I handed up tools, I manned the light switch and even had the ladder in place so the technician wouldn't have to worry, but still I was charged the top end of the price quoted. I was told when I made the appointment that there was a chance it would be a lower amount if the job wasn't to complicated. Therefore the value was over priced. But all works and I'm pleased.
