Trinity Electric LLC

All in all, the job was well done and the price was reasonable compared with my other two estimates. Can be frustrating to reach Jeff, but eventually he will get back to you.

Everything works and they were very well mannered

The guys from Trinity were professional and easy to work with. The job went without a hitch from the free inspection and estimate to installation and inspection. Even though there were some unforeseen needed purchases of switches and wiring, the total costs to us did not exceed the written estimate. We couldn't have asked for a better job and now that the house is properly grounded, feel safer as well. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

It went great. Ryan, the onsite electrician, was awesome, helpful and flexible. He was also punctual, neat and professional. He worked extra hard to prevent unnecessary exposure of wall areas and openings. Jeff, the owner, did the initial bid quote and the final invoicing matched his quote, even with a small workplan change. Very satisfied, have recommended them to 2 friends already for work (at least one used them too, happily). Will definitely be a repeat customer if necessary.

Overall it went perfect! I replaced the outlet that was in question and re-set the circuit breaker and power was restored!

The Trinity electrician showed up on time, was pleasant and helpful and completed the work quickly.

Very pleased with the work that was done! From the first phone call to the bill we received, Trinity Electric was professional and went the extra mile to make sure things were done right. I feel like we have an electrician now that we can call on for anything and know that we will be getting good service at a fair price.

I actually paid less than what they quoted me. Everything went perfectly. The guy was very friendly and clean. I would definitely use them again.

When I called and spoke with Jeff about our project, he came out and walked through the yard with me and asked me what it was we wanted to accomplish and also gave me some suggestions. Jeff was extremely professional, friendly, helpful and honest. I really appreciated all his ideas and the lights in our yard are better than I ever imagined. Ryan King actually did the entire job and Ryan was great. He showed up at the time we had agreed upon, and every day after that until the job was completed. Ryan also offered a few suggestions that worked out extremely well. He was also completely professional, and great to have around, I highly recommend this company. I would have them do work again in a heartbeat.

Jeff contacted me quickly about coming out to provide a FREE estimate. He was very friendly in person and provided a thorough estimate that evening. The estimate was reasonable and detailed, so we could see how much each mini-project would cost (and determine if we wanted to do them all). We had another electrician come out for a bid, but we never got the actual pricing from him. Instead of trying to follow up with them, I just went with Jeff because he was prompt, detailed, friendly, and clearly knew what he was doing. I requested a quick timeframe as I was having guests in town and wanted to work done prior to that - and even though he was busy with other jobs, he found a way to fit me in. That's great customer service!! The actual work was done by Dave, who was also very friendly and professional. He went to work and finished up pretty quickly. He had me review each as he finished to ensure I was satisfied with the work. He made sure the GFIs worked properly after the changes he made, as well. As it happened, we had a strange burning smell in the house the next day, I called Jeff only because they had been in the house doing work the prior afternoon - he wanted to have someone review the work to make sure there wasn't anything amiss. It was reviewed and all was fine. Turns out it was an issue with our furnace - nothing to do with electrical work done. However, the prompt response to my concerns showed what a great company this is!! We will DEFINTELY all Trinity again for any electrical work we need done. Thanks so much, Jeff!!! (and Dave)!!

Came out early and inspected the outlet. No problem. Inspected thermostat for radiant floor heat. Found out that there was no easy fix. Only charged me for 30 minutes of time. Will definitely use again for other work.

Excellent. Fast, proficient and only charged me $85 bucks. I own a construction business and after my experience with them I will now refer all my customer's electrical work their way.

This is the **second** time that I have used Trinity Electric (the first being when they were named EHS). I used them again because I was so pleased with their previous work. The same great service is still there with the new name. Jeff showed up on time to provide a free estimate, and he even suggested a shorter route for tapping into an existing power line that saved me money. The estimate was very reasonable, so I agreed to the work. Jeff emailed me a formal proposal later that day, and we scheduled the work by email. Dave, who did the previous work for me, showed up on time and was professional all the way. He did the work efficiently and fully discussed options with me, like the settings I wanted on the flood lights. He cleaned up fully after the job was done and my new lights look and work great!

Last fall, 11/09, during the home inspection for the house my wife and I were considering buying, the 1947 electrical system was noted as safe but outdated. It had the original fuse box and 2 wire system but not knob and wire. To get an estimate for the cost for updating the electrical system, our real estate agent recommended Trinity Electric and Jeff Whetzel, then doing business as EHS Electrical. Jeff came out and provided an estimate to replace the 100 amp service fuse box with a new circuit breaker panel and other circuit improvements. The estimate was about $1900. In our negotiations with the seller we were able to adjust our offer and did buy the house. When we recently decided to have the electrical work done I called Jeff again for an updated proposal that included more work than originally bid. I also picked another local electrical contractor, chosen from Angies List, for a competing bid. We ended up choosing Trinity Electric because of the bid price and comfort level I had dealing with Jeff in the proposal phase and I felt confident that the work would be done to my satisfaction. The actual work was started the morning of 2/25/10 with Jim, the electrician assigned to our job, arriving at our home. Jim and I went through the house with the proposal to make sure he understood all of the items that Jeff and I had discussed because the work included items to be done on both the 1st and 2nd floor as well as the basement, garage (where the main panel is located) and exterior outlet installations. We chose to retain the existing 100 amp service rather than upgrade to 150 or 200 amp because we had already changed out the original electric range for gas, so that released a 40 amp circuit, the furnace is gas so the last major electric appliance is the water heater. That will also be converted to gas in the future when it needs to be replaced. Upgrading to a larger service would have cost more and since we have no plans to do any extensive remodeling or installing a major electric appliance such as a hot tub, 100 amp was deemed more than sufficient. It also meant that the existing electric meter and pole could be retained and we didn't need higher cost permits and wouldn't need Seattle City Light to do any additional wiring work. Jim started the work on the 2nd floor working his way down, getting all the wiring run within the walls. With the exception of the surface mounting on the concrete walls in the basement and garage, all wiring was pulled in the walls with no need to open any of the plaster, therefore there was no follow-up patching required. This was another reason I chose Trinity over the competitor. The other bid was not as "imaginative" in their proposal in being able to take the effort to do the installation without a lot of plaster patching, which they wouldn't do. Jim worked hard and efficiently doing all of the wiring, rewiring of switches and installation of the outlets, leaving the panel change for the last day, 3/1/10, to minimize the power out down time, which was very much appreciated. At the end of each day, Jim did a great job of cleaning up after himself before returning promptly in the morning. As the work progressed I decided to add a couple of more outlets and Jeff added them to the proposal at the right price and Jim was able to get additional work done within the original estimated time of 3 days. Jim was also very good at keeping outside doors closed to keep our 2 cats from trying to escape! On the second day of the work, Jeff dropped by just to check on how things were going and to discuss the scheduling of the Seattle City inspector. After the work was completed, the inspection was to be scheduled by Jeff for the following afternoon, 3/2/10. The Seattle City inspector's office couldn't accommodate the afternoon so it was scheduled by Jeff, on the on-line website, for 3/3/10, AM. After my wife waited all day with no appearance by the inspector, I called the inspector's office. Well, they said it hadn't been scheduled! OK, so I went ahead and scheduled it myself for the next day, 3/4/10, and then called Jeff and left a message saying that the inspection hadn't been scheduled!? Jeff promptly called back and said it appeared it was the inspector's office fault. Jeff said that he had had this situation happen in the past and that currently when he schedules inspections on-line, he then makes a printed copy of the confirmation, which he had done for my original schedule and had in his hand. Again, Jeff held up his part of the deal, just beware of inspector scheduling, whether it is the city or state! When the inspector did show up, there was absolutely no problem and it passed. I did have to call Seattle City Light to have the meter resealed, which was done, although the technician turned of the power briefly for the reseal, which seemed unnecessary. I know this a long review but I wanted to be complete because when I use Angies List, I appreciate the detailed reviews in helping me make my decision. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the work performed by Trinity Electric and have already recommended the company to our next door neighbor. Jeff and Jim were both eager to make sure the work to be performed was fully understood, and provide me with advice on many questions I had to ensure the best possible experience. BTW, even though Trinity Electric has a Snohomish address, they continue to have a facility on Stone Way in Seattle and will provide service work throughout King and Snohomish counties. I only mention this because when I looked up the original company name, EHS Electrical, on Angies List and was referred to Trinity with a Snohomish address, I thought I had the wrong company. Luckily I had remembered Jeff Whetzel's name from EHS and also saw Jeff for Trinity so I knew I had the correct company.

I got 3 bids all together for electrical work. One of the projects was to install 8 recessed lights in the coved lath and plaster ceiling of our 1929 house. One electrician said they'd have to trench the entire length of the ceiling (30'x2), another said they'd have to make at least 6 extra holes and Jeff said maybe 1 or 2 extra holes. Aside from Jeff being a great guy who gave me an honest assessment of the electrical situation of our house and having some great ideas, his approach to the ceiling was why I chose them. They came in at the middle of the bids but I think it was very fair. They sent Jim, their most seasoned electrician, to the house and he was a bit baffled at how to put the recessed lights in the living room and thought it might be really difficult (not to mention adding the light switch by the door without damaging the cove). That's when he spent about half an hour walking around the house, looking at the wiring, and poking around. If there ever was an electrical magician, he is definitely one because he was able to install the lights without ANY extra holes. I was shocked. He ended up going in from the second floor walls which had drywall and is much easier to patch than plaster. He also did a great job with all the other projects including the ceiling fan in our master bedroom which I asked him to install so that the lights would come on with the other light switches and the fan be controlled by a separate switch in another location. If there is a challenging situation, Jim can solve it no problem. Jeff has always been great to deal with, including when I had to call him because a couple of our lights went out. He sent Jim out right away. My only critique would be that Jeff isn't always the best at returning calls and setting up appointments. There were a couple of times Jim didn't show up when he wasn't supposed to due to miscommunication (on Jeff's end) which wasn't a big deal except this one time when I drove all the way to the house (it was before we actually moved in and I lived a good 45 minutes away). Jeff was very apologetic and gave me a bit of a discount on my bill. Jim also tends to leave a bit of a mess (not that bad) when he leaves. I would not hesitate to recommend Trinity and will call them to deal with any of my electrical needs. They do quality, excellent work, especially if you've got any sort of challenging situation or have a very old house. They will do the least damage to your house.

Jeff and his team did a fantastic job, and the final invoice was exactly as estimated.

We used Angie's List ratings for our selection and it was a great experience from start to finish. These guys are pros and do a great job!

Received and estimate from Jeff who talked through a variety of solutions. I did have some trouble getting some follow-up questions answered, but that was partly due to the fact Jeff was on vacation. When the work was actually done, there were a few snags, but the electrician worked through them and gave us exactly what we wanted and came in UNDER the estimated price.

I was very happy with them. Their work was very different from what other electrical companies suggesting doing. The price was also very reasonable and less compared to what the other companies quoted me.

Rather than doing the job initially and then returning after our remodeling project to redo some of the work he suggested waiting. He thought the problems we were having were not urgent and thought we could wait. I respected his advise and he was very professional and easy going. He could have charged us twice instead of suggesting we wait.

Jim did an outstanding job.I would recommend EHS to anyone for any project

It was great. Jeff was very prompt and personable when he looked over the work to be done and gave us the estimate. The electrician that did the work was on time and completed the work within the 1 hour estimate. He was helpful to us in advising us on how high to hang the new chandelier. It was perfect for our Thanksgiving celebration.

I met with their manager for the estimate and he was extremely friendly and helpful. The estimate was very reasonable so we scheduled and they came out right away. They did a great job; I was very happy with overall work. The only thing was there was a lot of dust I needed to vacuum once he left - but it was only a minor issue.

We hooked up a ceiling fan and it didn?t quite work. They checked it and tightened something and it worked fine. They were very quick and very nice. We chose them because they were relatively close by and they had decent reviews. They answered the phone and had the time to come out right away. They were conscientious about asking to take off their shoes in my home and were very polite. They were on time and very professional. I would use them again in future if need be.

I had originally assumed that I would need to upgrade my panel and electrical service to add the new circuits. Jeff inspected my current electrical service and said that he could install the requested dedicated circuits using my existing electrical capacity and panel. This advice alone saved me a few thousand dollars in unnecessary expense. The electrician that actually performed the work was very experienced at working within the constraints of an older house ( e.g., lathe and plaster walls). The electrician had to run the lines from the basement up to the bedrooms three floors away. The electrician was very adept at 'fishing' the new lines through the various 'chases' between the floors. The work was performed very efficiently to my complete satisfaction.
