I didn't want to turn anything back on unless it was safe. I called around various places but many were booked or couldn't guarantee service with a minimum $195 troubleshooting fee. I left a message with AMS but was not sure they would get back to me. Brenda called me back right away. Despite having everyone scheduled out, hearing I had lost my heat with the safety concerns over melted electrical, Brenda contacted the owner Aaron who agreed to come out today to help me. Aaron was very courteous, responsive, and professional. He came prepared with a spare thermostat, even though I had already purchased one. His work was professional and he made sure things were installed level. The price for the same day service was very reasonable. $99 service entrance fee + repair time. Would highly recommend this company! They look out for their community and were very kind to fit me in under the circumstances on dhort notice. Very grateful to Brenda and Aaron today! Definitely have peace of mind and restored heat.

I made many calls, and most of them even didn't bother to call me back. I am very grateful to find Alive Electric. They are also busy, but they responded to my inquiries. They spent time on explaining to me how things would work and understanding my needs. I hired them to replace 2 bath fans. Originally they scheduled me 2 months ahead, but they gave me a call when they got a cancellation. Therefore we were able to get things done much earlier. They arrived on time. They confirmed with me what we were looking for. Then they started to work. No waste of time! After work, they cleaned up. Everything was done in a quick and proper manner. It was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend Alive Electric. I would love to use them again.

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.

A Monday in August, year one of the pandemic…read more The place sells mostly to electricians, but the guy was very helpful and patient with this do-it-yourself guy. Employees showed 100% mask cooperation, and used lots of hand sanitizer. I went here to buy electrical supplies for a fancy shed I'm building. I had previously researched what I would need to run power to the structure, and it looked like I had a choice of PVC plastic conduit, buried two feet (61 cm) deep, or galvanized rigid conduit, buried six inches (15 cm) deep. The steel costs more and is harder to deal with, but the effort saved digging the much shallower trench will likely more than make up for it. Still, I didn't exactly know what to buy, so I went to a real store instead of trying to buy on-line. I had measured the distances the conduit needed to cover: about two feet (61 cm) from the connector box on the wall of the cellar to the ground, about four feet (122 cm) from the house to the structure, and about eight feet (244 cm) from the ground to the connector box in the structure (three feet from the ground to floor of the structure, and five feet to the connector box). My first question for the sales guy was the radius of the angle pieces (about eight inches, or 20 cm). Then the sales guy guided me through the additional matter of connecting the pieces together. The straight segments of conduit are ten feet (305 cm) long, and have threaded pieces on the ends that connect to the angle pieces. But because the straight segments will need to be cut, the cut ends will need compression fittings: one each where the vertical segments connect to the boxes, and one more where the cut end of the horizontal segment attaches to an angle piece. Those fittings include things to attach to the boxes, which I don't need on the horizontal segment. Another problem is cutting the conduit. It's tough stuff. Cutting it with the Dremel would require a lot of patience, and probably consume several cut-off wheels. I don't have a heavy duty saw like a Sawzall. Even if I got metal-cutting blades for my jigsaw, it's on its last legs. That leaves me with a hacksaw. The store only sold hacksaw blades in ten packs, but they weren't outrageously expensive, and each cut would probably wear down a blade. Rather than search for cheaper blades, I got a pack. I found the sales assistance quite useful. It was enough to assemble the conduit correctly, and I only broke one compression fitting. My boy came along on the shopping expedition out of curiosity. To keep him amused, the sales guy gave him a complimentary, kid-size hardhat with the store's logo printed on it. He was delighted. I drafted most of this back when "year one of the pandemic" was just "the year of the pandemic". I was back recently, looking for lamp parts; lamps are electric, right? No luck; that's not their kind of electric stuff. I also asked about circuit breakers. Also not their thing. The cashier did at least suggest Seattle Lighting for the lamp parts. I thought they deserved four stars ("Yay, I'm a fan!") for the conduit visit. I was disappointed with them last week, but I'm not going to count it against good service on things they do sell.

I had a very good experience with with them as the electrician was very knowledgeable of this process, the options that were available and once he got into the ceiling the challenges that needed to be addressed. Mike showed me the original shoddy installation of the duct work and gave me options on how to make this new installation work and also proceed in the future to have roofer come out and correct the issues. He took pictures of the areas and gave me instructions on what to tell the roofer. He didn't have to do this but I really appreciated his professionalism and honesty. I came away with the feeling that he is someone I could trust. All in all I am very happy with the results and I am going to use Kemly again in the near future of other projects that are coming down the pike.
