We thought we were all set for an entire month leading up, and he was supposed to start work the week before we moved in. But then he went AWOL days before starting. My wife and agent tried multiple times to reach him the days leading up, but to no avail. Our agent ended up having to contact a relative of his to confirm he wouldn't be doing the work. All this set our move date back 2 months (meaning 2 months of extra rent even though we'd already bought a house). We had to get brand new bids, and now the work won't get done until after we move in. So annoyed. Super unprofessional. All it would've taken was a simple text from him early on to let us know he didn't want or couldn't do the work.

Outstanding. They…read moreshowed up on time. They took out our 1977 original panel and installed a huge new incredible panel with tons of room AND a generator fail over port.

Very disappointing experience and poor follow-through…read more I contacted this company for a time-sensitive electrical issue at my rental property in Renton after my tenant raised safety concerns. The technician came out, identified several issues that needed repair, and provided two pricing options: a higher price if the work was done the same week, and a lower price if scheduled the following week. I approved the early-next-week option and asked for confirmation of the schedule and final cost. After that, communication stopped completely. No confirmation, no follow-up, and no response to my approval. When I reached out again over a week later to schedule the work, I was told they were "too busy." This was after my time and my tenant's time had already been spent, and after I had clearly communicated approval and intent to proceed. If they were unavailable or no longer interested in the job, that should have been communicated upfront. Instead, I was left hanging and now have to restart the process with another electrician and inconvenience my tenant again. This was an unprofessional experience with poor communication and unreliable customer service. I would not rely on this company again for time-sensitive or tenant-occupied properties.

Amazing work, definitely recommended!…read more I had a lot of work to be done to an old house with an old panel: -new 200 amps panel -level 2 EV charger -home surge protection -generator plug outdoor with interlock in main panel -heatpump hook up Alfred stopped by quick, did a free consultation and estimate, answered all my questions via email in details, for a few days we discussed all the details and he provided different options with associated datasheets. (I'm a really picky customer :) ). He recommended me to get an EV charger level 2 to take advantage of the rebate ending in February, I was not even aware of that. He also worked with the city seamlessly and in a timely fashion. When the work was scheduled, his team showed up and in a day they did all the work without any assistance. The whole installation looks great, the team has great attention to details and they have been really accommodating my asks. Great job Alfred and Ohm Electrical team!

He requested photos of the problem area and a description of the symptoms which I provided. He gave me a solution which to my limited skillset I was able to complete and the problem was solved.

I greatly appreciated that as I know many of these electricians are swamped with appointments and couldn't fit me in for weeks. I know that Rich will be the first guy I call the next time I have a problem I can't overcome.

They came out to fix it and let it run. When I checked the system it did not seem to be working correctly. They came back out and so forth and so on. Then we had to trim trees that we were previously told were fine. Now I have hard data that the system has not been producing anywhere near what they said it would do.

I got a bit lucky as Bryan was nearby when I initially called, I was amazed as he showed up within minutes of me texting him my location.

I had old/original GFI outlet that required replacement which he was able to quickly diagnose based on symptoms of two other bathroom outlets not operating. It was amazing to see how quick he understood based on extensive experience in the field. I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting an honest and reliable electrician!

I contacted Linder to replace my home electrical panel so that I could add two EV plugs in my…read moregarage and prepare for a heat pump and heat pump water heater that would soon follow the project. The bulk of the install process was great and professional. The project hit a snag at the very end when I noticed that the second EV plug was 120 instead of 240. I was told that the panel that was selected wouldn't work with a second EV plug or with the the heat pump devices that were going to come next. That was a shock! I had wondered about this before we started the project. I asked if a higher-amperage panel was required. I was told "that's a big deal and will cost you $20k." There was never a statement that the panel we were going with wasn't going to cover the stated project goals. After the project, I called PSE to get a better understanding of the service they offer to my home. They told me I had been given bad advice and that they could deliver whatever amperage I needed without trouble. The new panel that was installed was 125 amp. PSE told me that they guarantee 200 amps to the home, per WA law. They also said that I ALREADY had 200 amp to my home, so clearly no requirement to pay $20k to get it. I reached back out to Linder with the new information. I proposed installing a higher amperage panel and that I'd pay the bulk of the cost but wanted some discount because I didn't feel like this poor outcome was entirely my fault. They told me that they "don't do work for free", even though I wasn't asking for that. They told me go to talk to Bel-Red Electric if I wanted the issue fixed. That was another shock. I thought that the relationship had gone pretty smoothly up until that point. I guess they had booked a good profit on my project and didn't want to give that up. In any case, I think it is good advice to go talk to Bel-Red electric. I will go do that and explain that I need help in right-sizing my new panel for my project goals. In summary, I have no reason to question the quality of the work at Linder. The install looked super clean and was done quickly. A friend had recommended Linder. He is super handy and would have never got into this problem. He would have calculated his amperage requirements before even calling an electrical company. I don't know much about electrical and was expecting guidance from Linder on how to proceed per my stated project goals. In fact, I asked them about this later. They told me that I negotiated too hard on price and so a 125 amp panel was the only option at that price. That's a really strange way to do business. The panel upgrade cost $7k. Is that a lot for a 125 amp panel? So, if you need help navigating your project and are not too familiar with electrical, you might look elsewhere or end up with the same outcome as I did. I'm just a regular home owner like a lot of people.

We needed to fix an electrical issue at our house. Our regular electrician had retired, but he…read morereferred us to Linder Electric. Matt came out and investigated, and he and I discovered a number of wiring issues where previous work in this old house had not been done correctly. He corrected it all, including running new lines from the breaker box, through the garage, through the crawlspace, into the lower floor, and up into the upper floor. He was careful, thorough, and focused on making sure everything was done correctly and well. He had to make a few holes in walls and ceilings, but he thought ahead to minimize the work of the handyman who would follow and fix everything. Plus, Matt is just a very nice guy. When it was done, the city inspector came out to give permits, and he was very impressed with the quality of Matt's work. That was very encouraging to hear! I will continue to use Linder for any electrical work that may come up in the future.

For some reason, everything I tried didn't work, and the wiring was all messed up. So I broke down and hired a professional, and boy was I glad I found Brian. He was fast, efficient, really nice and did the job in just over an hour, but he only charged me the special hourly rate he has going on Yelp right now. AND, he came on short notice, showing up exactly on time at 6:00 on the day I contacted him. I'm just thrilled my first experience with hiring someone from Yelp turned out so well. I recommend him highly, and for any future wiring needs I have, I will definitely go to Brian at Wickman Electric. Thanks, Brian!
