I couldn't be happier with the work that Tyler and all his team have done at my place. They did better than perfect, they did exactly what I wanted! I got some photovoltaic panels + Enphase batteries + span smart breaker installed by Switch Electric, and the process was super smooth from the quoting, up until after the installation. First, the quote I received had a very good price. Without any negotiation, it was already the cheapest out of all the companies that bid on the project. Even better than that, the technologies were the best ones of all the quotes. So it was a no brainer and I decided to pull the trigger. We did work back and forth on the quote a few times, because I was undecided, and every time it was very clear, and very fast to get an update. Then when the team arrived on site, they saw right away that I would be really picky about everything: from the positions of the equipment, to whether the wire would be in-wall or visible, I had a pretty clear idea of what I wanted. When there were a few possibilities to do one thing, they knew to ask me for what I wanted, and I had the opportunity to give my input every time. I had my first 24h outage a few weeks after my installation was done, and it held up perfectly fine! The system had a little quirk (that Enphase fixed by software update really quickly), and Tyler himself stopped by my place to make sure that everything was working as expected. I recommended going with Switch Electric to all my friends and co-workers, because it's very rare to find a company that does such a good job and where everything always goes smoothly! read more

I contracted Switch Electric to run different circuits to install various mechanical equipment for better indoor air quality and other work for the kitchen remodel. Overall experience, from scheduling and communication to last-minute accommodation, was fantastic and transparent. I found that the whole team plays their role sportingly. Aaron Pullen was engaged and involved in understanding the project scope and providing different options. When it came to the actual installation, Anatoliy Matyuk/team was responsive and informative and understood how I wanted to see the overall project. He was not rushing and taking shortcuts. He genuinely cares about what he does and crafts his work to the customer's satisfaction. All work was done swiftly and professionally. I'll call Switch Electric again for my electrical needs and recommend them for solid work ethics and strive to get customer satisfaction. read more

Switch Electric installed a Generac backup generator system on my house (also upgraded the service panel). They were professional and considerate. The King Tide had left my property and house in a flooded situation which they worked around and kept on task. They came highly recommended to me. I also highly recommend them. read more

I would highly recomend this business over any other in the area. Had a pleasure of working with Joe from Switch Electric to get an estimate for a generator. I was utterly impressed with the level of professionalism and technical acumen in a proposed solution. I've worked with number of technicians over the last few years and a lot of them have more questions than answers when it came to providing an estimate. Joe proposed a fairly simple solution within a couple of minutes for a house that is close to 5k square ft, w/3 electrical panels. Great job man! read more

I would rate Switch Electric more than 5 stars if I could. I had a whole home generator installed and had lights, fans & wiring set up in my 30 x 30 shop. The on site crews were extremely courteous, professional and focused on quality workmanship. The team at the office (from bid to payment) were really friendly. They were reasonably priced. I had multiple bids done, and Switch was very fair, up front & I had no surprise expenses during or after the job. They stayed to the schedule we discussed. The conduit work in my shop is so clean & consistent. I'm extremely impressed. The breaker boxes, propane lines, and exterior conduit all turned out really clean. Thanks Team Switch for the amazing experience! read more

I was very pleased with the work that Switch did for me. They gave me an estimate based on pictures I sent them and were able to set an appointment for the following week. The electrician showed up just when they said he would and started work right away. (I was having a level 2 charger hardwired in the garage.) The work was neatly done and quickly finished. The scheduler person followed up a couple of days later to arrange for the inspection, which was completed with no problems. The cost was slightly more than the estimate, but that was because the inspection was more expensive than they estimated. The bill for their work was exactly what they said it would be. I would gladly use them again. read more

Really appreciated the service that was provided by Switch Electric and would recommend to others. Originally got a free quote done months ago, which came in lower than a competitor, but due to the difficult circumstances of this year had to hold off on getting it done until just now. Joe was friendly, knowledgeable, and did a professional job. I'll definitely go to Switch Electric next time I need any electrical work done. read more

These are a bunch of incompetent boobs here. My wife and I ordered a Generac backup generator. It is to ensure I have power for my medical needs. After 9 hours not only is the generator not functional, but these morons left us with no heat pump, no tankless hot water heater and no working gas fireplace. Generac may make great generators but get anyone but Switch to install it. Do not let them near your electrical circuit box. Oh, since I had to leave, at 4, they did insist I pay them. My wife discovered all the stuff left incomplete and unaccomplished after the 5 boobs left. Don't expect they'll ask for the remaining $500 with what they've done. Still I've paid $8000 for NOTHING. Good luck everybody else. Update: they fixed the problems before 0830 the next day. And apologized. All is good. read more

Four years ago Switch electric installed solar panel for me. It was an expensive project and I went with then because they had the cheapest bid and I felt they were very honest and transparent in how they worked. I took a chance and was happy I did. The installation went very well and throughout the engagement they were both professional and reasonable. Even when there was some churn because of the city inspection they were right there to help get through. Four years since, I still go to them for any electrical issues at home and always found to be very fair and efficient. Great people to work with. Highly recommend. read more

We love switch Electric! We've had them out for a couple projects and a repair. They do good work and have the friendliest technicians! Stop looking around and call switch Electric! read more

We have used Switch Electric for 3 different home projects now - 2 times to install new lighting and most recently a total house rewire. Each experience has been stellar and I can't recommend them enough. Tyler, who does the estimates, always had great recommendations based on what we were looking for and each of the teams that have come out to do the work have been really nice, hard working, and get the job done in a timely manner. I'll speak mainly to Joe and his team that just did the rewire (including a full panel upgrade) - they completed everything in 3 days, didn't bat an eye at any of the changes we requested (and were very transparent about how that would change the cost), and helped us brainstorm/provide options on different lighting options/placement/etc. to ensure we were happy. Cost-wise, they were actually more reasonable than other bids we received but even had they been a little more, you get what you pay for and these guys are worth it! read more

We've used Switch for all our electrical needs for nearly 10 years. In a word, they are FANTASTIC. From the smallest of jobs (replacing an outlet), to new light and fan installation, to generator service, to major projects (rewiring the circuit box), the Switch team has it covered. They are expert at what they do, and we trust their work 100%. Every tech who's been at our home has been friendly, polite, professional, thorough, and communicative. They work quickly, keep us informed throughout the job, and clean up any mess before they leave. Their office staff is equally as nice, but do plan to book well in advance. They are always busy -- which is a sign of their great work. Honestly, we'll never use a different company for electrical work, Switch is our #1 and only choice. read more

The last item to go into our dream house was the chandelier. After picking a beautiful chandelier to finish our entry, we needed an experienced and trusted electrician to help hang it and hook it up. We called other electricians and their prices were much higher as they tried to sell us expensive ceiling reinforcements that weren't needed. Switch Electric said only if additional support was required, they would charge. Switch Electric was always on-time to set appointment times; none of this "between 8-12" stuff. They also provided courteous "on my way" phone calls without asking; they even came early on the installation date. The install was professionally done and according to the estimate. They even took a look at a faulty switch at no additional cost. I highly recommend Switch Electric; be sure to call and make an appointment as they can get busy due to their popularity. read more

I continue be appreciative of the work Switch Electric does. I recently had Switch Electric do some major projects at my house. They installed a Generac backup generator and upgraded the service at my home from a 100amps to 200amps. This was a project months in the making. The communications between us was on point. They were always willing to talk to me and hear new ideas. The project itself took 2 days of work and let me tell you, these guys were on it. I was expecting to be without power for most of those 2 days while they worked but credit to the lead technician, Bryant, who made sure we had power for all day 2. I was very nervous about extensive drywall damage but Bryant and his team did everything they could to minimize damage to the drywall. I spent like $600 having the damaged drywall fixed and repainted. That's how little the damage was. Funniest part of the story is that the day Switch completed the installation of the backup generator at my house, a wind storm hit Bellevue and we briefly lost power but it was nothing for us because the generator automatically kicked in within 10 seconds of losing power. Overall, I give Switch 10 out of 10 for their professionalism, technical acumen, communication and customer support. Shout out to the main lady who runs the front office. She's really good at her job. read more

I have spent months trying to find an electrical company to perform a couple of residential projects...but it's been ridiculous how hard this has been! Most companies told me they either couldn't do a smaller project because they were too booked with commercial construction OR that they have closed their residential service department entirely due to those commercial demands. Wow, I realize the construction world is thriving in this area, but I went through 12 companies with no help available. At one point I even found one (on high recommendation from a friend) that came out to give us an estimate on the work needed, only to promise the estimate ASAP (in person and then 2 follow up calls by me)...then just disappeared and ignored us. Unbelievable! Then I got a tip from another friend to call Switch Electric. First, they actually answered the phone...breakthrough #1. They scheduled the estimate appointment, Chris showed up on time, was super friendly, provided great service/feedback/recommendations...and then we got the promised estimate in a timely manner. Woohoo! We have found our electrical company! These guys are awesome and I feel very confident recommending them to everyone. Thank you Switch! read more

The team from Switch Electric is always on time and on budget. They improved the functionality of our generator system that a previous company didn't offer as an option. We would highly recommend Switch Electric! read more

Had Switch rewire my house, removing the remaining knob and tube from a few rooms and hallways (and adding some recessed lighting and a doorbell). I got a few estimates, and Switch was the most thorough and surprisingly the lowest cost. Given that and a recommendation from a coworker, they were the obvious choice to move forward with. Alex (who also did the estimate) was the lead for my project, and was able to quickly squeeze me into their busy schedule between larger jobs. As others have mentioned, Alex's communication was top notch. Every day he'd message their arrival time and hours. Before making major decisions (e.g. moving or adding a fixture) he'd confirm the placement was acceptable to me. He and his crew were happy to explain things to satisfy my curiosity or when they encountered difficulties. They worked around an awkward parking situation with my house without complaint. They cleaned up well and made it surprisingly possible to live in the house during the work. In short, they were simply pleasant to work with. Turns out my job was a harder than expected one - they underestimated the difficulty and it ended up taking almost 4 full days rather than 3. But they kept to their original estimate (and more importantly didn't abandon my job even though they had squeezed me in!), and as a result I'm thrilled at the work, price, and speed. A very minor nitpick just to show this is an honest review - we unexpectedly had no hot water for a night due a misassumption about our water heater. But overall they honestly deserve 5 stars (zero pressure to leave a 5 star review unlike other contractors I've had, which is refreshing!) and I'll use them again in a heartbeat. read more

I rewired my whole house with Joe and his team. They've been fantastic, professional, and punctual throughout the whole process, even working around problems caused by a different general contractor who messed up their wiring. I especially appreciated Joe's recommendations: a motion sensor light in our pantry, caseta smart lights, good spots to put outlets, usb outlets in bedrooms. He's also been great if anything changes - we originally hired switch to just rewire our house/upgrade panel but Switch adapted seamlessly to additionally wiring our basement into an ADU. They work fast and had the entire house rewired in a week! They handled problems well too - one of the casetas was being flaky so they just swapped it out on the spot. read more

Wow these guys did a great job installing our generator! Great price and very easy to work with. They came out and finished the job In one day. I'd highly recommend them. read more

Super happy with hiring Joe & his team from Switch Electric to do the knob-and-tube rewiring of my 3-story 1926 home in Seattle. They brought the same level of service and quality and "swarm of white vans" as the other premium Seattle companies. But at 5-10% lower price. [still higher than the single-shingle electricians but not by much] Details - Speed: Brought 6 electricians to finish the bulk in 4 days as soon as I closed on my purchase. - Responsiveness: Texted or called back within minutes. - Advice: Joe in particular gave a lot of advice on what I *should* do on the re-wiring, not just what was the minimum. Wiring for a Ring doorbell, rearranging order of switches, 40A instead of 30A for future heat pump, etc. - Respectful: As a non-traditional remodeler, I sometimes feel contractors are talking down to me; not with Joe and team. - Easy Paperwork: All digital. - ONE CON There were definitely a bunch of minor "punch list" items the first week, e.g. a defective Siemens circuit kept tripping refrigerator and had to be swapped. Nothing major, and the team did come back twice to take care of it. I hear that's standard? All in happy. read more

This is the second time I have used Switch to do electrical work for me. Dan, the estimator, is communicative and well organized when getting your job ready for the team coming to do the work. I had Alex and his team of two other guys over to do a large amount of panel and outlet work at my home. They were very pleasant, answered any questions I had, and did clean top-notch work throughout. The company is extremely professional from top to bottom. read more

These guys were great from start to finish. It began as a troubleshooting call for outlets that didn't work in our basement with Daniel. I found him to be knowledgeable and friendly, and worked with him to scope some other items (some while he was here, and others over email with pictures). The guys that came to do the work were on-time and made sure to understand the work order and were very communicative with me before beginning the work to ensure I understood what was happening. The resulting product is great (involved adding an outdoor outlet, routing an outlet into a bedroom via an outdoor conduit, and fixing two outlets in a furnished basement by running wire mold above the trim), and I found the price to be reasonable. Thanks a lot. read more

the crew is so professional - masks on, booties on - without needing to ask. The work is A+, clean, no mess left behind. Reasonable pricing which is rare! highly recommend Switch! read more

They did a great job. They were on time, friendly and informative with everything they did. They were respectful of our home. I'm very happy with the work they were able to get done. If I need more work done in the future, they will be my first one I call. read more

In our three bedrooms, Switch Electric installed new electrical ceiling boxes, appropriate controls, and ceiling fans (with lights). We also had them convert three outlets from being switched to unswitched. Also, in one room, we had them add a dimmer and a track lighting ceiling box. (We then installed the track lighting ourselves.) Additionally, per Redmond electrical code, then install arc-fault protection. The work required working in the attics. We supplied the fan/lights (from Seattle Lighting in Bellevue). They charged no dispatch fee and were in the middle on price compared to two other estimates. They were also the only one to include the legally required Redmond electrical inspection. On the workday, they arrived with a team of three in the morning. Their work was professional and neat. We noticed two small problems caused by miscommunications. They cheerfully come back for an hour and fixed the problems. The work passed Redmond inspectional easily. We love the fans and the lights and highly recommend Switch Electric. read more

The 2 Switch employees were great. They were on time and completed the requested work in one day. They were neat and clean, polite (and liked our dog, who was excited to meet new people) saved all of the drywall cutouts so they could easily be replaced (after the L and I inspection) and scheduled the inspection for us. Their work was very good and the inspection passed without any issues. The office folks were great, too. They handled scheduling the estimate, the contract/payment details and scheduling the appointment for the actual work. Email communication was excellent, including after hours follow up when the inspector never showed up or contacted us on a Friday for the inspection. They rescheduled the inspection again for the following Monday and the inspector showed up this time and called prior to arriving. We would definitely use them again, and plan to. read more

Highest recommendation​ for Switch Electric. Brian installed fixtures for us, improving our lighting in our home. We hit a snag when one of the units was lacking the needed bracket, he improvised and could safely install all four. Efficient​, respectful of our home, fairly priced, and just nice to have doing the work. Helpful confirmations and overall use of technology and scheduling​ was smooth.I was impressed that he mentioned recycling​ our old fixtures at Habitat for Humanity, I like that they think that​ extra step. I have​ more projects and will definitely​ call Switch Electric. read more

Joseph Schlegel was an excellent professional to work with. His ability to accurately and quickly diagnose our issue and recommend the fix was speedy and with such knowledge and credibility that we felt safe and covered with his solution. I would opt to have him scope a project and make a recommendation any day, and Switch handled our request excellently. read more

Last year I had I had switch electric install a Generac generator. I love it and it came in very handy when we had our power failure Last year that lasted 2 days .I highly recommend SWITCH ELECTRIC. I did get 3 bids and they had the best price. Great service which is very important to me. read more

These guys are legit! Best price compared to 3 other companies and the overall experience was first class. The install crew was professional, and did a great job on the generator install--that means a lot coming from a perfectionist . read more

As a follow-up, I'd like to say how impressed I was when I contacted switch about a concern I had about the work performed and heard directly from the owner who ensured that everything was done correctly. Fantastic customer service and they will stand behind their work. I'm definitely going to use switch for any future electrical work. read more

I highly recommend Switch Electric. The more repair experiences I have, the more my experience with Switch this past July stands out for professionalism, trustworthiness, timeliness, and getting the job done right. After a poor experience with another electrical company that caused a problem, wouldn't own up to it, and then wanted to charge me thousands to fix it, Switch Electric was a breath of fresh air. During the bid process, Joseph was timely, professional, and transparent about my options. He then exceeded my expectations by providing guidance over email on the requirements of the outdoor light fixture. Switch installed a new dedicated circuit and outdoor lights at a reasonable cost. I have recommended them and will use them again without hesitation, trusting their expertise and their fairness. read more

Very happy with the work we had done recently. Alex, Toli (sp?) and Bobby were very polite, punctual, wore masks the whole time, were great with our cats, and did a wonderful job getting our big list of projects (ceiling fan moved and installed, closet light, bathroom fan/heater, recessed can lights, various outlets and switches, etc) done in one day. They cleaned up after themselves perfectly as well. We've used them in the past and will do again. Thanks! read more

UPDATE- Tyler, the owner, reached out personally and made sure everything was done correctly and in a timely way. Just had inspection and everything was good read more

Professional, good customer service, fast response, cleanliness, knowledgeable, polite....I needed 2 outlets for ceiling fans installed, they were in and out in about 2hrs...if it wasn't for the 2 new outlets in the ceiling, u would never know they were here. The 2 young techs made it look easy. Great company # nailed it read more

Switch Electric Home Energy installed solar panels, a whole house generator, and upgraded our electric panel. I am happy with the products and service they provided. They delivered what they promised, communicated well, friendly and caring. Tyler did great in making sure the projects were completed properly and continues to help as needed. Allison also provides clear and helpful customer service. I would highly recommend Switch Electric Home Energy. read more

I needed a quote for an electrical issue in our bathroom. While several other companies told me they couldn't do anything for me without coming out to see the house. Bayless Electric helped me trouble shoot through direct message on yelp and ended up fixing the problem without even stepping foot in my home. I didn't end up needing them to come out but if I did I would trust them with my business! read more

Fantastic job. Not the cheapest but, as per usual, you get what you pay for and Switch electric did an outstanding job. Their work was so good that the inspector commented on the quality and neatness of their work and pointed out the extra lengths they went to. I'll definitely be calling them again if I need further work done. read more

We used Switch 5 years ago to update all of our electrical when we bought our home and we had a good experience with Tyler. They might have outgrown some of that customer service because when I called today about 2 outlets overheating the person I talked with started by telling me they charge a $275 service charge just to come out and that they are busy until the end of the month. That seemed high to have a couple of outlets looked at but more than that, they just didn't seem that interested in the call. I usually only give good reviews but this felt like a big disappointment because we really liked Tyler and we've been recommending Switch for 5 years. Such a bummer. Don't get so big that you lose the customer service guys. read more

For the last 6 months I have been looking for someone to service my generator. Several companies committed to the work, but then blew me off. I guess it wasn't a big enough job. Switch Electric scheduled the service and performed the necessary service items. The Technician was professional and friendly. I would used Switch Electric again. read more
