we needed a ceiling fan replaced on a 22' ceiling!! Joe Russell came out and helped us decide how we could get it done. He suggested renting scaffolding and it worked. Tim came out to install the fan. He did it efficiently and was very pleasant. I would highly recommend Travers. read more

Travers Electric is very kind and considerate, do great work, explain what they are doing, show how things work, I called with a request for a job to be done that morning before an inspection that afternoon, and they worked it in. That says a lot about a company that goes above and beyond. You can't go wrong by calling Travers Electric. Thank you, doesn't say enough about how grateful I am. Irene read more

The work was expensive but it was an expensive project. They were more than willing to come out and look at our project and give us the bid. More than willing to follow through with the promised work. But I had told them on several occasions about other work we needed done. Once the big job was over there was no more contact from them about the smaller jobs. When I called about the smaller projects I was told that was a different person who would be doing the bid. The new person came out and looked and said it was memorial weekend and he was taking a long weekend but would get us a bid the next week when he came back. Two weeks later we ended up going with another electrician because we had not heard anything. We now have a new electrician and the power we needed. They did the job they were paid for and they did it well but the communication was very lacking. I can not honestly say I would recommend them. read more

After the flood my apartment needed some repairs and this company did the electrical work. We were instructed by management to clear out the bottom level and move everything upstairs, since no one would be accessing the upper part of the unit. Its fine that they needed to go upstairs to check/test, but it's ridiculous they threw my stuff around, stained my carpet, and left chunks and dust on my electronics and other belongings. They slid heavy furniture away from the wall instead of carefully moving it and this caused the carpet to pull. They were in and out of all of these units that flooded and they walked on my carpet with their shoes on without anything protecting the carpet from contamination. Completely unprofessional. I received a notice today from my apartments that the city is requiring emergency inspections because of an issue in another unit. I do not recommend this company. read more

We reached out to our community to find out who the best electrician was in our area and Travers kept coming up. They came out and were ready to work the same day of the appointment. They gave us a quote, did exactly what they said they were going to do, they did it in the timeframe that they gave us, and the bill was exactly what we were told it would be. Very impressed. read more

I was quoted $625 to replace the wire between my hot water heater and breaker box, but Sam assured me that the final bill could be below that amount if the job was easier than they originally thought. The electrician, Tim, who came to do the job was here for less than 30 minutes. When I got the bill in the mail, the job was billed the same amount as the bid. When I called, Sam said that Tim had recorded 2.5 hours at my house, despite me also only living 6 minutes away from the company. Sam refused to lower the price of the bill, and I feel pretty scammed. $625 for 20 minutes of work and some materials is insane. read more

I've had Travers out several times to do work ranging from replacing outlets to rewiring my entire detached garage. When L&I came out to inspect the garage job they had nothing but praise for the great work Travers did. Sam and his crew are very professional and friendly. They arrive on time and on bid. They are the only electricians I will use. They have never tried to upsell me on any project. I would highly recommend Travers for any household electrical job. read more

Travers Electric: (1) Answered the phone. (2) Jumped to arrange an electrician on-site immediately - not days later. (3) Sent Electrician Tim. Tim found the problem. Did excellent work. Did it fast. Did it RIGHT. Communicated well. (4) Charged fairly, reasonably, without surprises, without inflating the bill. (1)+(2)+(3)+(4) = Fantastic service. Jim W. Silver Creek, WA read more

The work done was satisfactory, but quite expensive. I'd recommend checking as many other places as you can first. To replace seven outlets (four GFI and three standard duplex), less than $100 worth of material, cost me over $700. The electrician spent a little over an hour at the job. That charge seems excessive to me. My fault partly, because I signed the bid, thinking it was an estimate. The job ended up being quite a bit simpler than Sam bid it, but they wouldn't adjust the final invoice. read more

I recently used Travers for an electrical issue I was having at my rental house. They told me that the issue was rats eating through the wires and that they would have to open up the drywall and rewire the whole house. They said it was a hazard as well. They also shared with my tenant that is was a hazard and that the house could catch on fire at any time. After the tenant heard that he did not feel safe and moved out a month early. Traver's suggested I get the rat problem fixed first and then have the wiring done. I hired a company to seal all areas in the crawl space and attic ($1,755). My loss on rent was $600. I then convinced an electrician that I have used on multiple jobs to take a look and give me his opinion. He said the electrician that Travers sent had not idea what he was talking about. There ended up being a wire that wasn't connected to the breaker panel. Once that wire was traced and secured the heaters worked with no problem. Some additional cleanup was done with separating circuits and I was good to go. I asked my electrician multiple times if there was ever a hazard and he assured me that there was not. Turns out the electrician from Travers was an apprentice. I am now out $2,350 just between the loss on rent and the clean up for the rats that were supposedly chewing through the wires. I called and spoke with the manager and asked what they were going to do to rectify this. The manager talked with the owner and they said they would not charge me for the service call. Are you kidding me? read more
