Steven showed up on time and fixed everything from a generator panel to shorting wall plugs. He is insanely adept at what he does and has clearly been doing it a long time. ** Beyond the actual repairs ** Friendly Clean On time Didn't overcharge He stayed quite a while until I was completely satisfied. -- I am 100% satisfied -- If you want personal service, this is a very small local operation. This was the first reason for seeking them out. read more

I had them come out and replace a couple outlets that were worn out. Same day service and they were in and out in about an hour. The guy that came out was named Oreo. Super nice guy, I understand why he is getting called out in other reviews. Considering the quick service i think it was well worth what i paid. read more

We had work done coordinating with our septic company to replace a septic alarm. We were charged over 2,000 for a 3 hour repair because they added on 2 hours of travel time (Maple Valley to Sammamish) to our charges and billed for 2 electricians because Steve and an assistant was along on the job. Most of the time one was working while the other was chatting with the septic repairman. When I called to inquire about how 3 hours of work at 165/hr became 2,000 he said there were "parts and travel charges" and some kind of 600 "parts package". I have no idea what that was for, since the septic company provided the parts - the invoice is blank except the hourly and the total. I was wrong to allow my septic repair to choose the electrician without finding out about the HUGE travel charges and extra fees. Avoid my mistake and don't get conned. Be sure to get a clear estimate before hand to avoid an extra 1,000 in charges like I had to pay. I gave 2 stars because the work appears to be done well. read more

It took a while to get Steve and Oreo out to my house only because their demand is so high, and now that they have completed their work (for now), I can see why. They were professional, friendly, competent, humorous, and handled this first-time homebuyer's questions with all of the above plus more. I couldn't be more grateful. Special thanks also to Kellie for helping me FINALLY get my deposit and contract squared away. I appreciate your patience and flexibility as well! read more

Legit. I hired them when my home builder electricians at MCE couldn't figure out what a burning smell was. They came and figured it out in 30 minutes while the geniuses at MCE couldn't figure it out in 3 bloody visits. I'll be calling them for all my future work. If you're a quadrant owner, don't trust MCE. Hire them. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Wilderness Electric. Oreo was our electrician. He was prompt, communicative, and explained everything step by step as he did it. He not only installed our kitchen hood vent, but also made recommendations as he went for different things that were very helpful as he navigated the attic space. Oreo was friendly, cleaned up the workspace as he went, and definitely top shelf in his service. It is very hard these days to find good, dependable, fairly priced, and trustworthy contractors. We will never use anyone else for our electrical needs. read more

I hired wilderness electric to install/ upgrade my breaker panel,and I've no regrets. I will hire them again for anything electrical and so should you. Thanks read more

I emailed about 7am. Received an email from Steve by 8. We set an appointment for 1-3 pm. Then Oreo called, he could come right then if that worked for us. It did and he arrived approximately half hour later. Oreo was wonderful. He checked the panel and a few of the outlets. Changed what needed replacing. He was quick, knowledgeable and competent. He suggested what to look for. The price was very reasonable. We will definitely use Wilderness Electric again when needed. read more

Great job! Quick response and reasonable prices. Great customer service with booking and getting the job done. I'm so happy to now have an Electric Company I can trust and go to! read more

Great local electrician outfit - no job is too small or large. These guys are the first on my list when anything goes wrong between me and electrons. I'm a 5x return customer and can't say enough good about them. read more

Oreo did a great job on adding another outlet to our bathroom. He was prompt, professional, and took the time to answer all my questions about the bathroom addition and some other electrical questions I had about our house - the guy really knows his stuff! Kellie was super helpful in answering my questions when I was getting estimates and was able to get me quickly scheduled. I will be going back to Wilderness first when I need an electrician again. Quickest bid to finished job I have experienced to date. Wilderness Electric definitely earned 5 stars for this job. read more

My AC panel was old and needed replacement. The lights in a few rooms stopped working and my garage was without power. Wilderness asked for a photo of the panel, listened to what I needed, then provided a quote the next day. Steve coordinated everything with PSE and the electrical inspector. Total pro. Set up, removal, replacement, inspection, power back on. Steve described how the lights and plugs that were not working was a single circuit, and found that an old GFI outlet had failed. Removing that outlet from the circuit got all the other lights and outlets working again. Pleasure to work with Wilderness Electric. read more

Super fast communication to make an appt and the technician hey sent was amazing! He was friendly and charged me a price that was very reasonable. read more

My house had a long list of electrical issues. In one hour Oreo fixed them all! He seems to have a magic touch -- lights and outlets that I had spent a lot of time troubleshooting, he got working again in no time. Note that I live in a manufactured home, and an older one at that. Other electricians whom I had contacted first would not even come out for a quote because of this! But with only one day's notice, Oreo came out and did the work, in one shot, with no need for a quote and no reservations due to it being an old manufactured home. Excellent job, super nice guy, highly recommended! read more

We called and wasn't sure with this whole stay at home order if anyone would come out. Steve came out right on time and immediately looked into what our problem was. One of our breakers were not working but actually it was because of an outlet had a loose connection because of myself misusing the outlet and so he took the time to explain to me the reason and how to avoid it. In and out less than an hour and very reasonable. Actually one of the most reasonable than others I called. Would definitely call Steve for future jobs. Thanks Steve!!! read more

I had a 20A breaker go bad in my electrical panel, and I couldn't change it. So, I called around late in the afternoon to various electricians, and Wilderness Electric was able to come out the next morning! The technician was great and very knowledgeable. He had electricity restored within minutes. There is a flat hourly fee for service, with a minimum of 1 hour charge for the service call and initial hour of work, $105 per hour if I recall. All in, it was about $150 for the part, the 1 hour charge, and tax. I will be happy to use Wilderness Electric again for future electrical needs and recommend them to anyone looking for electrical work! read more

The day before Thanksgiving, Oreo came out to replace the faulty sodium halide light I bought from Home Depot (I should have read the lousy reviews on it) with an LED light. On time, fast, friendly, great service. I'VE NEVER HAD SUCH AN AWESOME ELECTRICIAN IN MY LIFE! (and I've been on the planet a long, long time!) read more

Rick discussed the options with me for the quote and plan and made sure it was set up the way I wanted. Steve did excellent work. I couldn't have asked for better. read more

These guys are fantastic! Okay, so how many people can say they are super pleased with their electrician? If you want a great experience and need work done....these guys are the ticket. Linda read more

I have asked them for a work on house electric issues. They helped really professional and its all done in 1.5 hours. Very good service and Really fast read more

Great service and quality. Also, these guys make very easy to do business with, very old school.

These people are five plus stars. I called and they were booking out to March. I wasn't sure we could wait. She called the foreman and got me in that day. Fixed the problem and it was very reasonable. I will use them again for sure. read more

Worked with Wilderness to install an outdoor connect for our generator. Steve was great to work with throughout the process and the work was completed on time and without issue. Looking forward to continuing to work with them in the future. read more

They arrived on time, very friendly, and provided a high quality installation. We would use their services again.

So satisfied with the service. He was in and out in less then 30 minutes. He fixed the problem and at a respectable price. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. And will definitely call back again with any future electrical issues. Thanks. read more

Electrician completed task in timely manner, was very personable and cleaned up his miss. We will certainly use them again.

Wilderness Electric Inc came out to my house to determine why my washer and several outlets in my laundry room quit working. They called to let me know they were on their way and they arrived on time. Service was professional and friendly. Issue was identified and repaired. I loved the fact that they explained the issue and resolved it quickly. Also appreciated that they took the time to help me better understand the demands placed on the electrical system when using extension cords and power strips. I will be using Wilderness Electric for all my future electrical needs. read more

I had an excellent experience with these guys. I had a minor problem (light fixture flickering) that I tried to repair myself, but it still didn't work properly, so I called them yesterday and they had Oreo come out first thing this morning (super fast). Oreo quickly solved the problem quickly in a very kind way, giving me tips on the how and why, to solve it next time. He was professional, fast, and very personable. The cost was very reasonable also. Highly recommend these guys! read more

Had them install boxes for ceiling fans in three bedrooms and an extra light in our master bathroom. Oreo did a great job. Work was performed professionally and quickly. After they were done I went to vacuum and found one of the outlets they had worked near wasn't working. I called and left a message. Oreo returned my call quickly and returned later that afternoon and had it corrected within 10 minutes. Also while he was in our attic he noticed the drain pan under our furnace was almost overflowing. He alerted me right away. I called the company (Evergreen) who installed our heat pump less than a year ago and am dealing with them as we speak to get their work corrected under warranty. Had Oreo not alerted us to their mistake we would have had a major water damage issue on our hands. Not only did he do a great job on our electrical but he saved us a huge headache with a completely unrelated issue. Rick at Wilderness did the bid for us and was very professional and friendly. They had the best price and by far exceeded our expectations! read more

Always my choice when I need electrical work. Wilderness Electric is quick to respond to my inquiries as well as getting out to the job. I have referred many of my clients to them and have always received rave views back. read more

I called them requesting a quote for three small electrical projects at my home...they never returned my phone call.

I've been doing a kitchen remodel and electical work was the one thing I needed to hire someone for. I needed new overhead lighting, some additional outlets, a solution for a dark pantry and wiring for a new vent hood. I called three or four places that resulted in being stood up for appointments or never receiving a bid after the appointment and several calls. Then I talked to Rick at Wilderness Electric. He was on time to the appointment and provided me with a bid the next day. Steve did the work on my house, and he was great. He got the work started and inspected. Then I needed to complete some projects in order for him to finish the work. It took me longer than expected, but once I was ready he came out again to finish everything up. He really took the time to make sure the lighting was both efficient and looked great. These guys know what they're doing and make sure it's done right! read more

Do not be fooled by friends of Wilderness Electric posting bogus reviews. I had wilderness come out to give me a quote for a new panel and they charged me almost $200 for a quote. I agreed to pay their trip charge for my estimate but not the work (because I didn't ask for any work) I asked their receptionist why the charge for a quote and she admitted to accidentally sending an electrician and not an estimator. They have not been able to explain what work was done. See email from their "owner" Scott, I have discussed this situation with all involved parties on my team and it is clear to me that this activity was set up as a service call from the beginning.....and re-enforced directly to my electrician, by you, upon his arrival to "restore power ". As a service orientated company we write and complete a substantial number of service calls annually and know the difference between an estimate and a service call. Given the facts, I am at loss to understand your confusion on this job nor the reluctance to pay for services provided. We charge out at $105 +tax including travel time. My electrician was dispatched from our office in Maple Valley at 7:30AM and checked out on your job at 9AM. It is my understanding that he provided a quote to you to upgrade the panel and a tentative schedule date of Fri the 27th subject to you making arrangements directly with our office including payment on our service invoice. It was understood that you would contact our office to pay and finalize schedule details. That did not happen, my electrician left a follw-up voice mail with an additional request for you to contact us, once again, we heard nothing from you, thus the appt was removed from our schedule. I feel that we have provided a service as per your request and are due the payment as reflected on my invoice. At this juncture, I have no interest in doing any additional work for you. I will leave to your conscious the decision on how to handle our invoice, Regards, Rick. ____________________________ (leaving out name for the sake of posting) Wilderness Electric, Inc "Electrical Systems Installed Professionally with Pride" You be the judge (I left in all of the typos) ....would you want these people at your home??? Don't get bullied out of your money by these folks. Call the next guy on yelp. Still....no explanation of what was done. Not even in Rick's reply. read more

Just had Steve from Wilderness Electric here twice today. He was great. I was the first appointment of the day and he was exactly on time. I showed him what I needed done. One, the main chandelier in entryway. He got everything arranged to install and when he removed the chandelier from the box, a necessary piece was missing. He was very accommodating as he got the project as far as he could, went to the next appointment (as he had to meet an inspector) and returned to finish my project as I went to the store to pick up the necessary part. Yes, there were two trip charges, but the company I purchased the fixture from needed to take care of one of the trip charges. He was very courteous and very efficient. Steve, apparently, has worked for Wilderness Electric for 26 years. I would highly recommend this company as they were efficient and professional. read more

They called back right away, came out within the hour and had my problem fixed in no time. Super friendly too. Great company!

These guys are simply THE BEST! From the moment Steve arrived he was courteous, professional and did the 3 jobs we had in short order. He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions and did the work for much less than we had budgeted. We will definitely be calling them for all our electrical service needs. Thanks again guys!! read more

Highly Recommended!!! Ask for Oreo, you won't be disappointed. He took care of my work quickly and stressed the importance that he wanted it to look good. Saw him take extra steps just to ensure the job was clean as if it was his own. Very professional and made the experience extremely simple. Can't go wrong! read more

had a heater replaced , Oreo was the electrician , he was on time and friendly. Great customer service! I will definitely call them again if needed. read more

Fantastic!! Where to begin? Going through a remodel of our 1986 Lake Wilderness home has proved to be stressful, dealing with contractors, scheduling, and living in the home simultaneously is crazy, but Rick (the owner), came out (on time) for his tour to go over the work we needed (which I'll explain later), gave me a competitive estimate, but more importantly, knew what I needed/wanted before I even did. I didn't have to over explain if that makes sense? Enter Steve and Oreo. These two guys have been working together for awhile, and it shows! Steve walked the house with me a few nights before starting the work, he took good notes, he (like Rick), understood what we were going for and displayed a level of confidence that I just felt like I could trust. I wasn't disappointed. He and Oreo showed up at 8am everyday they worked to get the job done. They communicated well with me while I was at work, they worked well with the other contractors in the house, and more importantly, did AMAZING work! Now, here's a brief description of some of the things they did: We had 17 "can" lights installed throughout the house, all new switches and outlets throughout. A few added switches also. Installed 8 new lighting fixtures, wired our TVs in 3 locations (for hidden wire capability), removed old electrical wall heaters that were suppose to have been disconnected (but weren't all), and inspected them to be sure they weren't active anymore. They were in the attic, in the crawl space, and everywhere in between knocking out their work like they knew what they were doing! Our house is now safer, well lit, updated, and ready to be lived in right! Was it expensive? Yes, relatively, but we wanted to do it right the first time, and not "piece-mail" it over many years, and boy we were not let down! I am definitely having them back for outdoor jobs in the future, or any other electrical needs we may have. Professional, courteous, humorous, knowledgeable, and fast! Go with Wilderness, you will not be disappointed! read more

I would highly recommend Wilderness Electric. Oreo was on time, super knowledgeable and the price was better than I anticipated. If you want great service, a fair price and honest work give them a call! read more
