Dan came out to give an estimate pretty quick after contacting the company. I am not having work done by advantage at this time due to having a 100+ year old house with all kinds of stuff going on. This is due to me having to figure out what I really need. Dan was friendly and informative and non pressuring. When I need some work I will call these guys. read more

My first experience with this company was great. Months later I needed a job done so I called and the receptionist gave me the email of Dan who I was supposed to contact for the job. I waited 10 days with no word back on the email from either Dan or the receptionist who I cc'd. So, I called back again and spoke to Chad. Chad said he would let Dan know so he could get back in touch with me. After waiting several more days with no word back, I called again and spoke to Chad again. Chad, once again said he would let Dan know to get in touch with me. I asked if there was a manager I could speak to about my experience and Chad informed me there wasn't technically a manager, but Dan was a co-owner and he would be the person to take this up with. The problem is I can never get ahold of Dan... I asked if I could talk to the other owner, Robert, and Chad said no and that he could not give his info out. As a business owner myself, the problem is obvious: broken systems of follow-up and communication + bad customer service. As a loyal client of this company I gave them multiple opportunities to at the very least respond back. Chad mentioned one of the reasons Dan may not have gotten back was because he may not have been interested in the job. I would have really liked to know that so I didn't waste so much time! Bottomline: very disappointed and frustrated with this group. read more

These guys are prompt and professional, but too expensive. I needed an electrician to run power for a hybrid water heater. I looked around a bit and found these guys through a quick internet search. A quick call had them coming the next morning. The electrician came out during the time the appointment setter indicated and quickly assessed the project and gave me a cost. After agreeing to terms, he set to work and finished up by 1:00. He even helped me unload my water heater when I brought it home. The work was very well done as well. My only quibble is the price. 3 hours of work and maybe $100 in materials shouldn't add up to $750. Maybe that is the going rate, but it just seemed a bit high. Only enough to take my review from 5 stars to four. read more

Zachary fixed some outlets in our house and, more importantly, replaced a broken old fan light on a dimmer with the light I wanted. It turned out better than I imagined, still dimmable, and transformed a dark, barely-usable room into my favorite room in the house. read more

Advantage Electric - Thank you Zachary! Better than I imagined! - Electricians Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We just had Zachary and Advantage electric replace the knob and tube wiring in the attic of our older home and upgrade a bunch of outlets and some other smaller things. What impressed me the most was how great the communication was! I got updated daily as to the arrival time and Zach kept me informed on issues he was seeing and addressing as the job went along. Oh...and their bid was nearly half of what another electrician gave a few weeks earlier! The office staff was friendly and prompt in sending receipts and communicating with the field staff. Would HIGHLY recombined using this fine company...as a matter of fact, they are coming back to install some closet lights! read more

Awesome service and very reliable! Have been using them for quite some time and they have been very reasonable.

Great service to repair a botched circuit breaker job in my older house with mixed wiring. I got a quick appointment, Clayton came out and within a few minutes had my problem resolved and repaired. Because it was such a quick fix, I got a break on the diagnostic fee. He was friendly, gave me some good tips and didn't even mind my very nosy collie puppy exploring his equipment bag. I'll call Advantage again if I need further electrical work. read more

Clayton came out to have a quick chat with me about our electrical problems. He did a quick walk through was very kind and professional scheduled a time for an electrician to come out a few days later. Lee came out the following Monday and was so great! We lost power in the entire front of our house and had a few other problems he checked out. He was here for a while and inspected everything and fixed the problems! We now have electric working and feel safe in our home. Prices are fantastic it was a flat fee for everything no surprises and he took the time to explain everything to us even gave us some advise on options for our bathroom fan and central fan system. I will definitely use them again if I have any problems in the future! Good honest people you can trust. read more

I had previously hired another Electrician that was recommended to me who was just awful. I needed work done on a Condo I just purchased. I contacted Advantage Electric based on reviews I had read. Zac was curtious - professional and very knowlegable. He informed my Daughter that the heating in her bedroom was not to code! and there was evidence of wires being burnt. (the Inspector must have missed this!) He was able to fix it the same day!! I now have an Electrician in Portland that I can trust!!! read more

We had Advantage Electric rewire my 1930 home I had just purchased. We knew it had some knob and tube wiring but we did not know how much. Brian was our electrician and he turn the house upside down to get all the wiring through the attic and wall, fishing it in and out through walls ,ceiling , floor, and attic. I got so much information during the process and Brian came up with different options and ideas during the project. His communication was excellent and he would keep me updated daily on his progress. I felt very comfortable with his knowledge that I can trust on and go with his recommendations. We had other bids but his bid was reasonable and he listed other options that would fit our budget. His quality and workmanship was more than we could ask for. With the good reviews and some work we had done on another house in the past we decided to go with Advantage Electric, glad we did. I would definitely hire them again. read more

I contracted with Advantage Electric for kitchen remodel. I worked with Lee in Vancouver, WA. Advantage Electric quickly responded to my request for a quote. Lee came to my house and assessed my remodel and electrical needs. He was professional and thorough and anticipated many of my needs. He was good to clarify my wants/needs and he offered suggestions for ideas I want have wanted to incorporate into the remodel. Once the remodel began, Lee came to the house twice to accommodate the needs of the cabinet installer. He rewired switches and outlets to accommodate changes to the floor plan, and he used electrical boxes that would adjust to the thickness of newly installed tile or wallboard. He was professional and good at explaining the process. I would highly recommend Advantage Electric and Lee for your electrical needs. rjk read more

Wonderful experience with this company. I called them on a friend's recommendation after the initial electrician I had been working with failed to respond to my calls. I was so pleased with how promptly and professionally they responded. I felt confident in them immediately and appreciated their advice. read more

Thanks to Debbie for getting a person to our house almost instantly at the last minute and to Andrew for top notch service above and beyond. They took care of an annoying glitch in the middle of a move which not only saved our electricity but our level of craziness. read more

We've had the guys from Advantage Electric come out a handful of times to do some additions and repairs around the house. The first couple visits were to install new outlets and the job was done quick and easily. The next job was much a much larger install of an entire floor's worth of outlets and lights and switches. Over a couple days the guys did a great job and got everything up and running in no time. Our contractors were so impressed by the clean and professional install that they grabbed a few business cards. Most recently they came out to repair a broken switch in our daughter's room - which was heating up. They were able to come out ASAP and take care of the problem before it had a chance to become anything serious. They've always been prompt and professional and we'll continue to give them all of business. read more

Wonderful service and excellent quality! I was totally impressed by these guys. My power went out in half my house. I tried figuring out what went wrong but realized I was going to need professional help. They were able to get me scheduled for the very same day. Showed up right on time and got the work done quick. Didn't cost as nearly as much as I thought it would. I will definitely be using them again. Thanks guys! read more

We called around looking for an electrician but many places had a three-week wait. Magically, Advantage had a cancellation. The electrician was super-helpful, and also found and corrected some safety hazards that we were totally unaware of (previous tenants had done their own, unlicensed electrical work). First rate service. Thank you! read more

Working with Advantage Electric was extremely disappointing. The scope of work was drastically reduced after a consultation with a city inspector, but I was still billed for the 2+ rooms that weren't rewired. Additionally, they left the job after receiving what they called "95% payment" and made zero effort to follow up for over a month, when I contacted them. They had put me under the impression that all permit work had been completed, which was not the case. It had been made explicitly clear to them that all permit work had to be completed ASAP and was urgent. Zach overbooks himself and does not have the memory or organizational skills to provide quality service or warrant the premium price. read more

Dan is a rock star! Have had him at the shop twice! Highly recommend. He is one time, get the job done right and cleans up. Super nice and professional. read more

The house needed upgrading to 200 amps plus various other electrical odds and ends that an older house has and that new appliances need. Brian, Lee, and Jose were topnotch! Good price, kept me informed, and did a great job plus handled the permit and all that that entails. The office staff were outstanding as well. Thanks to all. I will always call them. read more

Agree with Jeremy T. Calling it a diagnosis fee does not change the fact that the company charges for giving a bid. Not an acceptable practice. read more
