I recently purchased a home and the old wiring running to the tv mount area needed to be upgraded to HDMI. The catch was that the house didn't have any ducting; instead the wiring was ran inside the wall with c-clips making it virtually impossible to get the new cables ran without opening up the wall. I contacted a few electricians who were eager to do the job but insisted they had to cut the wall open (despite the fact that the only provision I had was NOT to cut the wall open during the work). It was then that Jeremy at Switch Electric gave me a proposal that didn't require cutting of the wall. I scheduled the service and Jeremy and his associate (Aaron?) showed up not just on time but about 5 mintues early to the appointment (score!). They came prepared and ready go to. They were able to get in to the crawl space and run the new HDMI wires up through the wall, behind the fireplace, and to the tv mount above the fireplace. Then, they installed the tv mount and hung the tv on the wall. Total time, about 2-3 hours and total cost well under $500. They cleaned up after themselves and left no mess. The work was very well done and the tv and mount is very secure and, most importantly, NO HOLES IN MY WALL! I'm so happy with the work I already got an estimate for additional service in my bathroom. Pros: On time, cleaned up after, quality work, friendly Cons: None I would highly recommend this outfit for future work. Thanks, Jeremy. read more

UPDATE - 03/30/2025 As is evident from previous posts, I have been a Switch client for several years. During that time the business has grown and matured but the "Tyler Keezer Ethic" has not faltered. Switch is dedicated to values that I don't find much anymore: - Honesty and integrity, - Forthright transparency, - Top level competency, - Confident professionalism, - Respect and friendliness. When a Switch technician is on your property or in your house working a problem they all but disappear. They are quiet, efficient, and thoughtful. When they leave you will know exactly what was done and there is nothing to tidy up. Cortney Manimtim is a perfect example of all of the above. She just completed the yearly maintenance on our generator. She texted and asked if she could arrive a bit earlier than scheduled. She greeted me with a smile and we chatted briefly about our landscape. Then it was all efficiency. Her tools and materials were packed in a single tote--quick and easy to unload. She knew where to go and what to do. Thirty minutes later she gave me a report, loaded her tote, and was back on the road. That afternoon I received an itemization of work done and the invoice. Switch has a very well-designed web presence so paying the bill took 30 seconds. It doesn't get any easier than that. Simply put, Switch combines "Old School" ethics with 21st century technology. read more

Phenomenal work and professional services across the board by everyone involved. Just had the electrical inspector by today to sign off on the permit and even he was extremely happy about the work Switch had done. Jeremy was a superior technician with an eye for detail, personable nature and a meticulous skill set that made me extremely comfortable about the scope and quality of work he performed. Ashely in the front office took four or five calls from me throughout the process and she was polite, professional and extremely helpful. Tyler, also in the front office I imagine, managed all my electronic correspondence professionally, promptly and answered every question thoroughly. In the strange world of contractors that don't call back, drop off the face of the earth, or treat the customer as someone who is bothering them Switch is the complete opposite and a breath of fresh air. Switch was not the cheapest nor the most expensive of the contractors we had look at the work but the intangibles they bring have made them the only choice we will use going forward for our future upgrades and remodels that involve electrical work. read more

Switch just wrapped up one of our NE Seattle jobs and replaced some snakeskin wiring, as well as helping to replace the entire power service and panel for the house. Joseph walked our clients through the whole scope of work, even going as far as to break down wireless network coverage, router access and strength, custom outdoor heating and lighting solutions, creative outlet placement for their deck, and so much more. Throughout the project, the homeowners decided to add a few items, and Joseph tracked the changes wonderfully, always making the client aware of the impact to their budget and schedule upfront, and keeping them apprised of their final cost as it shifted. To help our production schedule, Joe even helped to coordinate a partial inspection before his team was done with the rough in, so that we could get our spray foam contractors in while they continued work in another part of the home. Joseph and Switch have been a pleasure to work with, and we appreciate the way they engaged with our customers. Amanda Shesterkin Owner Renovate Construction, LLC www.renovatebuilt.com read more

I worked with Alex and his team from Switch and they did a fantastic job with our home rewire. I'd recently purchased an older 2100 sqft home with extensive knob and tube plus some questionable DIY electrical work beyond that. Removal of this wiring was a process my wife and I were dreading, and we feared our house would be almost unlivable for months considering the number of walls the K&T was behind. But every picture I showed my friends of our home during the process had them respond with "hey, that's better than expected", and as I sit here writing this review, I'm inclined to agree. For the number of wires removed/redone and for the damage to walls to be "not that bad" is a testament to the exceptional care they took for this job. Additionally, they were timely, organized, and came up with innovative solutions to a number of issues encountered on the job. I ended up also installing roughly 20 cat6 runs and two subpanels in addition to the removal of the K&T, and overall I'm quite pleased with the all of the work done. Highly recommended. read more

I highly recommend Switch Electric Home Energy for generator repairs and service. It was an outstanding experience! I had several deep-seated issues with my generator (Generac QuietSource 36kw), which rendered it unusable. While other Generac dealers in the area had a long waiting list, although two months away, Switch Electric was able to book a specific appointment date for me and adhere to that timeline. The front-desk person was knowledgeable, polite, and trustworthy. My expectations were exceeded when I received email and txt reminders about my upcoming appointment a day prior. It was especially prudent given the fact that a significant amount of time has passed since scheduling. The technician Aaron was highly experienced and knowledgeable in his craft. Not only did he resolve the issue specific to the generator itself, but he also performed electrical repairs on the transfer switch. He knowledgeably answered all my subsequent questions. It was an absolutely wonderful experience all around. Thank you, Switch Electric! read more

Switch Electric Team - The work performed by Joe Fortygin and Seth was beyond outstanding and will note so on the reviews. The entire engagement for the following - Timely Arrival ( Appreciated ), Outstanding Communication ( before-during-after the complex work ), Respect for our Home and Property ( really appreciated in lower bedroom ), Extreme Quality + Skill + Experience ( from my view A++ ), Teaming ( meaning his work with Seth as team was very well executed ) Also, "Keeping Calm in Chaos" when the Main Water Line to the house started leaking under the house. Joe had Seth hold the line while he scale above the home 300 feet to shut the main-line off. The work of Switch Electric from first-call office staff, bid, timely communication prior to work, then follow-up after the outstanding work. Please pass along our thanks for Job Very Well Done.    Have already referred 3-4 people in Sammamish and Walla Walla.

Everything was super smooth. The panel was larger and I feared they would have to cut more out of the wall to get it to fit, but they managed to get it in with only extending downward a bit. 2 guys got everything done in 3.5 hours. When they got to the stage of identifying circuits, it went amazingly quick and we have a much better idea now on what is tied together. We only had one other quote and it was 30% higher. it was a different brand panel, however I couldn't get any questions answered on what might be better about the brand the other guy quoted. Switch also quoted us a generator install that was almost half what the other company quoted. In the end, we purchased a generator online when it was on sale (with no tax), placed it ourselves, are having a HVAC guy already coming for AC install do the gas line and then will have Switch do the wiring. We'll save a little bit that way, but after all is said and done probably not that much as their quote was very competitive =) read more

Switch Electric was hired to install my 17kw Honeywell emergency generator and automatic transfer switch in my home and provide all the necessary electrical and gas equipment and connections in accordance with national, state and local codes. Pull all necessary construction permits and arrange for county inspections for all electrical and mechanical (plumbing LP gas) aspects of my project. Jeremy and Brett of Switch Electric are one of a kind electricians, they were friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and time efficient and very particular about keeping a clean work site. Their installation was calculated and perfectly executed and done correctly the first time, and was in strict compliance with all state and local code requirements. As an engineer I've dealt with thousands of electrical contractors in my professional career and could honestly say that Switch Electric is a TOP NOTCH electrical contractor and would not hesitate to recommend. read more

I had a great experience with Switch Electric. They installed two dedicated 240V 20A circuits and one dedicated 120V 20A circuit for me, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. The turnaround from the estimate to getting the work completed was impressively fast. Communication was excellent throughout, and everyone I interacted with was professional, respectful, and easy to work with. A special thank you to the person who handled scheduling over the phone, as well as Craigan, who came out for the estimate. He was knowledgeable, straightforward, and made the process easy to understand. The installation crew--Cody, Ryder, and Andy--did an excellent job. They worked efficiently, kept everything clean, and the finished work looks great. It's obvious they take pride in doing quality work. I'd definitely use Switch Electric again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, professional electricians. read more

I needed a couple circuits added/upgraded & dimmer switches replaced for LED-friendly. I explained to Joe what I thought was needed. He explained some different options which would give me more protection and cost a lot less money. The bid was the middle-bid; one MUCH higher & the other didn't leave me feeling completely confident. Dimmers: One of the lights has 3 switches. For that light he suggested a switch (Lutron Caseta) which had 1 main & to remote switches (that look like normal switches). He then showed me how you can buy an add-on WiFi bridge for $100 and control the lights from your phone. I bought the add-on and told him to replace all of the light switches with that type (for 1-switch lights they're about twice the cost, but the same cost as it would be for 2-3 switches.) They came on time, finished quickly and were very professional. read more

We had a problem with outdoor lighting that was originally installed 30+ years ago. We have used Switch for several projects previously (extensive remodeling and installation and maintenance of a auxiliary generator). We have been so pleased with Switch performance that we didn't hesitate to contract them for our outdoor lighting problem. The Switch estimator visited and carefully inspected all four stations of outdoor lighting. He listened as we described what changes we wanted. He outlined several different courses of action. We chose one. The next day we got the specifications and cost, and we have the "go ahead". The installation team arrived several weeks later and installed the new lighting fixtures with little, if any, visible signiture of the new wiring that was required. They explained in detail the operation. We are devoted Switch customers! read more

I've been impressed with this company since their initial response from my inquiry for a quote. My project was the wiring and installation of four ceiling fans in my Lake Stevens condo. I had previously contacted three other electrician businesses for the same project, but apparently they didn't want my business. First of all Switch has a live receptionist/phone contact person that takes info, creates schedules, and the like. The entire process was very professional and encompassed the very best in customer service you could imagine. From the absolute reasonable quote done by Tyler, to the actual work performed by Aaron and Johann, everything was completed to my utmost satisfaction! The constant flow of communication via email and texts made scheduling very simple. I highly recommend Switch Electric for whatever your applicable project might be! read more

There are a lot of electricians in the area but you'd be hard-pressed to find any better than those at Switch Electric. The quality in their workmanship is top-notch and their commitment to their customers is nonpareil. Joseph Schlegel came to my house to fix a few small things but he treated my job as if it were his highest priority and he treated me as if I were his most valued customer. I won't even think of using another electrical company because Switch earned my loyalty through Joseph Schlegel. If you're still looking for an electrician, do yourself a favour and call Switch Electric. There may be other companies out there that will offer a lower price, but I guarantee you that they can't offer a higher commitment to service and to their customers because Switch is simply the best. read more

If you need your generator maintenance, look nowhere else. Aaron helped us with our generator's maintenance very professionally and I couldn't be happier. We bought our house recently and got little knowledge on the generator from the previous owner. Aaron arrived on time and started working in a very organized way. He was also detail oriented and explained to me everything about what he's trying to do, the function of each parts and why it's connected like that. I learnt a lot about the generator. In addition, I also got lots of useful tips for maintenance of things beyond just the generator. He just knows these stuff so well. Give them a call if you want a top notch service and someone who's enjoyable and knowledgable to talk to. read more

Switch has done a variety of work and inspections for me, from an automated home generator installed in 2021, to just adding 5 ceiling fans, replacing all my bathroom lighting fixtures, and putting a Dimmer switch in my garage today. From Spencer being on top of all my scheduling, answering questions, and making sure I have all the info I need; to Craigan's patient and thorough inspection, fast and fair quotes, and consistent communication; and Stonney and Bryan's expert installations, valuable knowledge sharing, and making sure everything was done with care and excellence. I couldn't be happier with this business and will have them come back soon for my next projects, plus any electrical needs I have in the future. read more

With power outages increasing, I was tired of throwing out frozen food that went bad. We have used Switch Electric to install a huge light fixture and they were professional, friendly and fair priced. I made an appointment. They showed up, listened to what I wanted, gave me an estimate a few days later. They brought the natural gas generator and installed it, fixed the wiring in the kitchen as everything was on one circuit (lights, plugins and microwave). How it passed inspection, I will never know. They added the power to the hot tub (during the last windstorm) great guys! Price is fair, work was great and I didn't have to get the permit, they did it. We will use Switch Electric for our electrical needs. read more

We used Switch Electric for the installation of a Standby Natural Gas Generator and would highly recommend the company. Tyler and his staff were very responsive to all the questions from pricing, scheduling and installation process. Bryan and his crew were on time and explained when the gas or electricity would be off and tried to accommodate "working at home" as much as possible. Tyler made an extra effort to acquire the equipment necessary for our home even when Generac was behind on production and delivery. I will use Switch Electric again. The staff is professional and the company's culture is customer focused. Switch Electric made a complicated home upgrade doable. Deborah Reffett read more

Switch Electric installed a generator for us yesterday and things could not have gone more smoothly. It was a fairly complicated installation, but Seth and his team handled everything in stride, including the borderline weather. They made sure that we were on board with all aspects of the project, including placement of the power and gas lines, as well as the generator itself, before moving forward. By mid afternoon the project was complete. Everything looks great, and they made sure all of our questions were answered before leaving. Switch Electric was a pleasure to work with from the planning phase through the end of the installation. Thank you! read more
