I reached out to Derek at Green Concepts Electric after reading all of the great reviews about his work. I was looking to upgrade my electrical panel and install an EV charger, and his quote was very reasonable compared to the others I received. From the moment I hired him, it was clear I had made the right choice. Derek was professional, knowledgeable, and took pride in his work. The panel upgrade required cutting into the drywall, and once the installation was complete, he even repaired the drywall so everything looked great again. That level of care really stood out to me. What I appreciated most was his honesty. He never tried to sell me anything I didn't need and focused only on the work that actually needed to be done. As a bonus, he noticed my doorbell transformer needed an upgrade and replaced it at no charge, including the labor. That was completely unexpected and speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. The electrical panel and EV charger installation both turned out excellent, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I am extremely pleased with Derek's work and would hire him again without hesitation for any future electrical projects. I also wouldn't hesitate to recommend Green Concepts Electric to anyone looking for an honest, skilled, and reliable electrician. read more

Typical service call. Please come help with these three weird things that are happening at this property. Squeezed the work in on short notice, good communication, and fairly priced. I didn't have to physically be there or disrupt my work day for the work to be done properly and he made sure the equipment worked before he left. Would recommend! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Derek again for another Tesla charger installation. We had to pull the power from the side of the garage to a different wall, which required installing an electrical conduit along the top corner of the garage walls. Derek walked me through the work he was about to do and provided me with clear options of where to install the conduit, the charger, and how it was going to look in the end. He even pointed out some options to consider if we were going to expand the number of circuits in the future! Throughout this process Derek was easy to communicate with regarding the options available to me, the estimated cost, and his availability. I would love to work with Derek again for a project in the future, highly recommend for any electrical work! read more

I would highly recommend Green Concepts. I received a quote and same day service (on a Sunday no less) for my project. Pricing was fair, communication was great, and a quality job was done. 5 stars and would book with Derek again. read more

One of my smoke detectors starting chirping. I tried to change the battery unsuccessfully. Home Depot advised all 6 of my units were overdue for replacement after 25 years. Needed quick help. Through YELP, Derek, of Green Concepts Electric, responded quickly with a reasonable quote. He was serious, quiet, focused. Changed 6 units. Still chirped. Found additional problem was with a different device--a carbon monoxide detector. Trouble-shot and fixed it also. Then, fixed my malfunctioning doorbell chime extender which had multiple problems. Also, my AC wasn't cooling properly. Thermostat message was that the AC battery sensor was malfunctioning. He fixed that too. Derek fixed everything knowledgeably, professionally. No wasted small talk. I expect to tell friends about this excellent electrician. read more

I called Derek Salazar and he was able to come on a Sunday on short notice to install an electrical outlet in my condo. What seemed straightforward and easy, turned out to be a tricky job as things can be in a condo. Derek figured out the problem and finished the job in no time. He came prepared with the right tools. He is professional, experienced, knowledgeable and attentive. He even cleaned up at the end leaving the place tidy. He charges a fair price. read more

We hired Derek to replace knob and tube wiring in our 1920s house and couldn't be happier! He was very thorough in his assessment of what needed to be updated. His estimate was reasonable (and exactly what we paid) and we were able to get the work done quickly. On top of it, we lost power to our garage the day he came out to replace knob and tube. He troubleshooted and fixed for free since he was already there and it was a quick fix -- it shows what a good guy he is! read more

We have worked with Derek many times over the last 5+ years and he has always done an exceptional jobs. From big jobs (full home wiring for a new build) to smaller things along the way (additional outlets, hot tub wiring, garage wiring), Derek has always been quick to get us on the schedule and thorough in his work. We love having a family electrician to call for all our needs and share Derek's info whenever we get the opportunity. read more

We've hired Derek several times over the past few years for various projects across two houses (electrical hookup and wiring for an office shed, two main panel upgrades, home networking, generator hookup, AC hookup, outdoor lighting, and many other smaller things). His prices are reasonable, the quality of his work is top notch, and he's generally a great guy. Highly recommended. read more

I have had very good experiences with Green Concepts for my last few jobs. Derek is very professional, reliable and always given good advice. I have been a general contractor for years and highly recommend Green Concepts for its quality services with reasonable price. read more

I highly recommend Derek for any electrical needs you might have for new or remodel work. He was responsive, professional and provided top-notch work for a wiring upgrade project we needed done in our house. He explained the process, the steps to complete the work and estimated timeline for completion before starting work, meeting all set expectations and completion dates. read more

Green Concepts has done 3 different projects in our home and I am really grateful to have found this company. Derek has top notch knowledge. I appreciate his willingness to answer my questions with straight forward common sense answers. Most recently we had a unique electrical project and he advised on the best path forward and did great work as well. Green Concepts is our family's go-to! read more

Derek is the Real Deal. A real electrician and clearly a stellar human being. Super knowledgeable, top quality workmanship, no bs, at a fair price. Monica in the office also a pleasure to work with. Couldn't recommend more highly, and I'm in the electrical business myself. Gary Seattle read more

Last August we had a great experience with Derek, so when we moved to Redmond this August, we had him come out to see a lot of work that needed to be done. He set a date and time to come do the work. Never showed and never called. When I tried calling the office there was no answer and no response to the voice message I left. Even called his cell directly but he didn't answer. Used my wife's cell phone and his wife answered and said he would get back to me that afternoon. That was six weeks ago and we've heard nothing. And now no one answers on either of our cell phones. I didn't want to believe the others who have shared similar stories but I do now. Very dissapointing. read more

I have fairly simple and straightforward wiring work that I need done to my house. I described the work to them, and they replied with a quote, here on Yelp. I checked with a couple other companies, and then asked them to go ahead and they said they'd confirm the work with the electrician and have an invoice written up for me to sign that day. But they didn't. I asked the next day (a Saturday) and they said they'd have it for me on Monday. They didn't send it on Monday. I figured they were just really busy, but when I poked them a week later I got no response. I never received an invoice or a reply. read more

Hands down one of the best experiences I've had with an electrician. Very friendly, prompt, superb value and quick to reply. Highly recommend for any electrical services! read more

Trust is the foundation of any good relationship and I trust this company and their representatives. I bought a new hot tub but didn't have enough power behind my panel to support the unit. Cart before the horse I asked several companies to provide bids. This was a laborious process so please trust this recommendation as I built a pretty thick spreadsheet on electricians. I went with this company due to previous reviews, price, speed of service and how I felt about them when speaking and meeting with them. Green Concepts provided a fair price and a clear direction on an "electrical plan of action". This was not a small job. Wall was opened up on the inside and the outside of the home, permits required, digging across the lawn so it was all pretty messy but this was required to get the job done. Monica (in the office) was kind and communicative regarding scheduling and providing the written bid. Derick (the electrician) showed up when he said he would show up and he worked his tail off getting the job done. In addition, he corrected a few issues from previous electricians. He also installed a light over my dining room table. Last, he was willing to work on the 4th of July. What?? Talk about "getting the job done". Derrick knows what he is doing and he can do it fast. I have not had the final city inspector inspect the work that was complete but without hesitation I will absolutely use Green Concepts in the future for my electrical needs. read more

I should have paid closer attention to the negative reviews here on Yelp. One of my neighbors had recommended this company for an outlet installation, so I went ahead and setup an appointment for yesterday morning, even though I saw the many "ghosting" reviews on Yelp. Owner/electrician Derek never bothered showing up. I sent several texts and called him several times, but received absolutely no response. I wasted my time yesterday as well as the last month since the appointment was made close to a month ago and I could've found another electrician in the meantime. The only positive was the scheduling coordinator/assistant Monica. She was cordial and responsive through her e-mails, but she doesn't make up for the lack of professionalism of the owner. I would stay away from this company if you value your time. read more

Derek is updating my 1927 bungalow, which still has (functioning!) tube-and-knob wiring. He is charging a very fair rate, and has even been able to do the project in phases to help break up the cost and disruption. Derek's highly honest and competent, and goes above and beyond. He even managed to get a previously non-working switch to turn on a nearby lamp! I wouldn't hesitate to call on him for any future projects. read more

Derek is a professional and highly trained electrician who I would highly recommend. Derek has done a number of jobs for us over the years that included rewiring a work shop, upgrading an electrical panel, installing a generator connection, and installing wiring for an electric furnace. He has always been honest about what was needed, gave knowledgeable recommendations and never tried to sell us unnecessary extras.He has always given clear time lines and costs. His training and knowledge is excellent and he is respected by the city inspector who inspected his work. read more

Superb work. Thoughtful, flexible, efficient and thorough. I hired them repeated and they never disappointed. Fairly priced and very kind. Derek's really great. read more

I highly recommend. Derek's professional services and we learned much from him. We had washing machines and dryers plug and charger unmatched. Dereck helped me to figure out in just couple minutes. He also installed Tesla charger for us. read more

Didn't show up for the appointment. Did not call to say they weren't coming. Did not respond to repeated emails and calls after the missed appointment window. Emailed the next day to say I could call the owner directly if I wanted to reschedule. I asked why I would reschedule if I have zero faith that the guy will show up or even let me know if he's not coming. Answer was, 'I understand your frustration.' My response, 'well if the owner of this business cares so little for his customers that he doesn't let them know when he's not coming I won't be a customer.' I see other people have had the same issue. My recommendation is not to schedule an appointment with this "company." read more

We had a good experience in terms of scheduling and installation. Pretty convenient and straightforward. :)

Beware. I contracted for complete home re-wiring job and now am struggling to get the job completed. I paid in full (my bad judgement) before completion and now am struggling to get the final work scheduled and finished. Very disappointed I can't get return phone calls. I am trying to give owner Derek and his scheduler Monica the benefit of the doubt and will update this review once I see how this plays out. read more

Should have trusted other reviews when they mentioned the electrician did not show up. We were given an appointment window and we waited for the entire appointment window and then some. Tried calling them and messaging on yelp, no response. Don't waste your time with this company. read more

I honestly didn't even stop to get any info about what makes them "green," exactly, which is weird--because that's typically the kind of thing I'm curious about. But they provide great electrical service, and that's all I needed this time around. A couple nights ago, a circuit failed in my house, and no amount of unplugging stuff and flipping the breaker would bring it back. This circuit includes not only the lights for the main living area in the house, but included the exterior security lights. I'm willing to play ball with companies that can't drop everything to come help, but this was something worth taking care of fairly quickly. One thing about this experience was how many electricians it took to find one who could come help. One company said they could send somebody over in 3 weeks. Nobody else could get out any sooner than in a few days, but a few of them recommended each other as solid backups, and that's how Green came into the conversation. Their office is really friendly and nice and on top of things, and set up an appointment for the following day. Not exactly perfect, but certainly better than anyone else could muster up. Young cat came out and figured out the problem quickly--we had an old outlet that was worn out to the point that it had shorted out, even gotten a little scorched and melty. Needless to say it was a huge relief and a bit of a fright all at once to know that it had not caused a fire. Turns out that the guy doing the work was the owner, and he checked other outlets and validated that everything was ship-shape. The work took him no more than 30 minutes, but he took time to patiently answer questions and confirm everything--then only charged for the 30 minutes it took to do the work. Kirkland is a little farther than I would have expected to need to call for someone to come out, but I'm confident that Green is worth calling again and again. read more

I was really hoping that the reviews about the company "ghosting" clients were just a few upset customers. I'm sorry to say that after great PRE-appointment communication, the time window for the appointment came and went without any FYI about them being delayed or that the appointment was rescheduled. When I reached out an hour past the time range to see if they were still coming, I was given the owner's #. I called and texted without response. I know it's tough to work during covid, but a head up/alert that you are no longer coming is about respecting everyone's time. read more

I'm in the process of remodeling my garage to build a small workshop, and found myself needing to install a subpanel along with some additional circuits for some 120 and 240V receptacles. I have some experience and familiarity with electrical work, and decided that I wanted to do the work myself. I pulled a permit with the city, but before beginning the work, I wanted to make sure that my plan was sound. I called various different electricians, but no one really seemed interested in consulting, even though I was willing to pay them for their time. I was referred to Derek, at Green Concepts, and got really lucky. Derek lives in the same city as me and just so happen to have some time to come take a look at my project and plan. I had a few questions that I was looking to get answered, which would have probably taken 30 minutes to answer, but instead Derek spent over an hour and a half going into detail about how he would perform the work if he was doing it and what materials I would need. He even took the time to discuss and answer some unrelated electrical questions that I had for another upcoming project! Derek is honest, and from our conversation, I can tell that he does good work. When we were all done, I asked Derek what he would charge for this project, and his price was very fair. I highly recommend Derek and his team for your electrical needs. read more

Couldn't ask for anything more from Green Concepts. I have used them several times. I'd feel confident using them for anything from panel replacement to swapping out an outlet! read more

Ghosted. Estimate went well and we set a date for the work. Day of I was alerted there was an issue with the truck and they needed to reschedule. New date came and went with no show and no comment. Called, texted, emailed over the course of a week and no one replied to any of it. read more

These guys clearly have little/no respect for clients' time. Amazingly, this appears to be a problem they've had for years, according to prior reviews, and have not changed at all. I skipped a weekend trip with my partner that I'd been looking forward to because Green Concepts said they could come and do an estimate for me this Saturday. Saturday morning I got a text to reschedule to Sunday because of snow (a reasonable excuse). Sunday came and they 100% ghosted me -- zero communication, no response to my texts, no one showed up to do the estimate. Then, Monday they texted as if nothing had happened, no apology, no nothing. Entire weekend wasted. Don't waste your time with these guys. read more

I got several bids for a dedicated appliance outlet I needed added. Derek came out in a timely fashion, explained what needed to be done, and provided a reasonable estimate for the work. I was able to get the work scheduled promptly, and Derek did a great job completing the work as discussed as well as cleaning up sheetrock waste from the project. He was also helpful and courteous in responding to some general questions I had about my circuit breakers. I will definitely look to Green Concepts again next time I need electrical work. read more

Excellent work from quote, to electrical, to front office! Work Done: Panel upgrade, new masthead, new grounding to water shutoff, 220v line. Review: Because Derek is the sole electrician you can trust that these reviews are relevant to his actual work. With other companies you don't know who is going to show up. He was able to find issues that previous quotes had missed and give a complete quote up front, whereas others had to come back and requote because of issues with existing panel. Work was good, price was good, and he even stayed late in order to get the sauna ready before I left the next day for work travel! read more

We'll certainly be calling the competent team at Green Concepts for any electrical work down the road. We received bids from several contractors before choosing Green Concepts to replace our electrical panel. The other contractors offered unreasonable estimates, seemed dishonest, and even tried to guilt trip us into taking out a loan to pay an exorbitant amount for a complete rewire! Derek, on the other hand, was reasonable, honest, knowledgeable, personable, and he never tried to upsell us. Derek arrived a little on the late side for both the estimate and the install, but that's probably because he takes his time with his customers, and goes the extra mile. He's super helpful and patient. He spent a lot of extra time showing me how to do things the right way when I wire up the thermostats and heaters, and even gave us some ideas of how to set up the patio lighting. It's good to know we finally have someone we can trust for all of our electrical work. read more

Green Concepts was a no show twice in the same week for the same job. I made an appointment with Green Concepts to come install a chandelier with my house for Monday at 10:00 am (with a two hour window, of course). It wasn't until about about 2 pm that I got a text message from the electrician that he wasn't going to make it because his previous appointment had run late. I would have preferred to have known earlier (like say at 11:30 am when he realized he wasn't gonna make the two hour window they gave me), but he was apologetic and offered to reschedule for Thursday at 9 am, so I agreed. Thursday morning came but no electrician, so about 11:30 am I texted him to ask if he was gonna show. It is now Saturday and I still haven't received a response. The first time at least he contacted me after the fact to apologize, but the second time he was a no show with no so much as a text or a call. I think I am being ghosted by my electrician which is definitely not what I would look for in a professional I want to hire to do work on my house. read more
