We hired Exact Electric for a complete rewiring of our house almost a year ago and we're still waiting for them to remove the old outside parts. To update, the job has been completed. To their credit, this company has an excellent office manager, Jasmine, who returns emails and calls immediately. They do care about pleasing their clients and when the job is finished, you will be very satisfied. Another update: I called Exact Electric to install electrical grounding after the system was disconnected when plumbers replaced old pipes. I quickly received a call from Manager Eric who came over to plan for the job and explain what needed to be done. He didn't charge me anything for the inspection. Within a week, Tom, a top-notch Journeyman, came out to resplice the GEC system insuring complete grounding of our electricity circuits. Awesome, fast service by Exact Electric during challenging times. read more

We never heard more from Dana ( electrician) who came to give us an idea on electrical work we needed. Don't let us hanging or ignore because we're not the worth $$ of your time than other big projects you have line up. read more

The manager is very nice and considerate from the client's standpoint. He checked the invoice and asked the details of the project and finally made me happy. I .will definitely recommend this company to my friends. Quality and customer satisfaction first. read more

Called up to get a quote for some work, was told they charge the hourly rate to have someone come out and write up an estimate. No thanks, I'll reach out to the plethora of other electrical contractors who will gladly give me a free quote. read more

I needed a 240 volt, 50 amp circuit installed to supply a new outdoor hot tub. I tried to get an estimate from this company, which every other company does for free. This company would only even estimate my project if I paid them A MINIMUM of 4 hours at $140 an hour! Ridiculous. So basically they want me to provide them with a blank check to do the work. Sorry, but Exact Electric is not getting my business, and they shouldn't get yours, either. read more

Exact Electric was recommended by our (also highly recommended) stove installer, Damien John Installations. I'm VERY glad to have had that recommendation because Exact Electric's guy who came to do our job was outstanding! Ours was a complicated installation of a high voltage line from our breaker to the site of the new stove and required multiple trips up into our attic. He got the job done and, since we had him there, we also had him install a new ceiling light and our new Ring doorbell. All the jobs were done perfectly. The bill was a little high, but we were prepared for it and worth every cent! I MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND Exact Electric! read more

The website has a whole residential section that says, "extensive experience with residential remodels" and "no electrical job is too small". However when I called them this morning I was told that that they focus primarily on commercial and don't really do quotes for residential. And that any residential jobs they do take on are done for time and materials. Not cool. Waste of time. read more

Exact came highly referred by our landscape installation company. The scheduling was easy and the electrician did good work but he was so very slow. 2 full days was excessive for the work. Replacing 5 basic Home Depot outdoor lights (no new wiring) and installing 2 new outdoor lights on my garage (new wiring into established garage wiring with a photo sensor) took 13 hours. In addition I had the electrician sleuth an issue with a can light that ended up taking 3 hours to learn there was no solution without tearing open the ceiling! So the end result was too much time for what I expected. The outdoor lights look fine/good but I think about the unexpected cost each time I look at them. I would have appreciated a heads up when the electrician noticed things might take this long. Doing estimates ahead or during the work itself would also help set expectations. When I checked in with him during the day, he just said a few things about what he was doing and didn't indicate there were unique circumstances. On the afternoon of 2 when I saw how long this was taking I contacted the office and asked for someone to review the work and timing before invoicing. I don't think anyone looked it over although I was sent a detailed summary of the work and charges. I know electricians are highly skilled and when you need them you really need them but had no idea the final cost would be so high. 3 stars for the work completed and 3 stars for the pace and limited communication of expectations. read more

A few years ago I contracted Exact Electric to do complete rewire of our house. They took longer than expected, but overall they were fine. The main electrician on the job had forgotten to renew his license, so work had to stop for a couple of weeks. The City's inspector had to come a few times because he was not satisfied. Today I found out that some of the work was not done correctly. This was a disappointment. If you look at the photo, and you know something about electrical wires, you'll see that not all wires were replaced (as was promised). It's a shame. I liked the company. read more

Exact Electric - Electricians Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Overall, Exact Electric was great. Their pricing was super reasonable, they worked quickly and got our project done fast and under budget. They fell a little short on communication. Before they came out, we were told the office would call us back to confirm the date they'd arrive. We did not get a call and their arrival was a bit of a surprise. We were also told that they'd be here during the inspection and that they'd call us and let us know when that would be. An inspector showed up unannounced, but luckily we were WFH and able to walk him through what had been done. That being said, I would definitely use Exact Electric again! read more

It was the great reviews here on Yelp! that led me to contacting Exact Electric when our former electrical company informed me midway through a job that they would no longer be servicing residential clients. With all of the new projects being built in Seattle it is difficult to find an electrician who is willing to take on the job. Booking the appointment with Exact Electric was easy and after a waiting period for availability Andrew came out to install our ceiling fixtures. He was conscientious and polite. Highly recommend this company, especially for competence and reliability. read more

These guys are great. I had 3 quotes and they were the lowest, because they were not selling a package. They paid attention to what I needed and solved the problem in a creative, practical way. There were complications with my job involving the city that extended the job for months. I was not charged extra for all the additional time and energy. I particularly liked Eric Noice how was in charge of my project. If he tells you he has a photographic memory, believe him. read more

All of my clients, residential and commercial, love Exact Electric, and I got the chance to love them some more when they re-wired my condo! A lot of buildings have challenges, and the building I live in is no exception. The professional and technical aspects of the job were challenging, running circuits in from the panel in the hallway for example, and Exact aced them; the social and security aspects of contractors coming in and out of the building are also challenging, and again - Exact aced them. To me, Exact Electric is more than just the electrical contractor that I trust the most, they're also the contractor that I trust will leave a good impression on the neighbors, the property manager, and everyone who comes into contact with them. That's true professionalism! read more

Exact Electric was responsive and thorough in their explanation of what they could provide, as well as a specific timeline. While I already had engaged another company to do the work, I appreciated the detailed and professional information they were able to provide. I definitely would consider them for future work. read more

Exact Electric is phenomenal. We were remodeling our above ground/ garage ourselves and wanted the professionals to come in for the electrical. Every part of the team was responsive, helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely nice to be around. The best part? You have a point person from the very beginning. This person is your contact for any issues and it makes everything so much easier. The team was also very respectful of COVID protocols, which we appreciated. The work was also reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

Cannot recommend Exact Electric, we feel like we've been scammed and overbilled. I needed two GFCI outlets wired in our easy to access attic that already had powered boxes in the locations needed, we just wanted the outlets wired. We also wanted an exterior outlet added, and already had an energized line plumbed to the location and we provided our own exterior box. It was an easy project that should have taken less than three hours on a bad day (verified by a second electrician after the work was performed). I was told it'd be fast and no trouble at all over the phone. The day of our service appointment came, and the electrician arrived an hour late. No big deal, I'd planned to work from home that morning and wasn't in any particular hurry. But then we started running into trouble. The electrician was moving very slowly, with just shy of a dozen trips back and forth to his van. He didn't wire the outlets where I told him to, and so, the security camera power cables would not reach (he didn't put them where I'd already pre-measured, and didn't measure on his own) so he had to then re-mount and re-wire both outlets in the attic. This took over four hours. For two outlets with energized boxes right there. I came up to the attic to check on him several times and found him on his phone. Back and forth up the ladder multiple times... for two outlets (and I later noted he didn't use the GFCI outlets that I requested). The exterior work also took far longer than it should have. All that was needed was for the box to be mounted to the house and connected. We provided the materials needed and an energized line was run in PVC directly to the location prior to the electricians arrival. That took an additional hour and a half. All said and done, they charged us $764.46 total for what should have been less than 3 hours of work any way you looked at it. I immediately responded to the invoice via e-mail giving them a chance to make it right. They responded by cutting the project time from 6.5 hours to 3.5 hours (they didn't even argue), but when I looked, they'd changed the rate from $95 per hour to $150 per hour... leaving our now total at $602.80. When I asked that this be changed to the original rate given our trouble, I was told that is what it was going to be and that they'd forgot to add cost for materials (for the non-GFCI outlets I didn't ask for in the first place). I know that contractors come at a premium right now in Seattle, but if you need help, you can do better. Exact Electric overbills and we feel like they tried to pull one over on us. Unfortunate, given I'd hired them for this small project prior to using them commercially. We paid for our $602.80 outlets and consider it a lesson learned, we won't be back. read more

Finally, the story ends. It took 5 visits, multiple fixes on top of fixes, and a job that still does not match the quote, but the inspection finally passed (with changes to the permit to say they are ignoring part of the installation since it was not in scope). To be clear: this was a simple panel swap on a garage with exposed wires (as easy to reach / access / see as they come). The last electrician that came actually used the line "The city of Seattle used to be pretty relaxed. Not anymore.". Considering the problems in question could be fire hazzards i was really not happy in hearing this downplaying of the problems. Either way... I asked a rebate on the work provided given the amount of time i had to take off work for the multiple back and forths and was given a tiny one for the one (and only 1) extra piece of work i asked (split a circuit into 2) - which is why im keeping with my 2 stars review instead of flat out giving 1. I will not be using exact again in the future and, as previously written, highly recommend folks to stay away. read more

We had a tripped breaker issue and Eric was able to troubleshoot the issue with us over the phone and talked us through everything. He was extremely patient and very helpful. Thank you to both Eric for and Zach for being so responsive, especially on a Saturday nonetheless. I will definitely call on them again for future electrical work. read more

Hire Exact Electric! They completed a panel replacement for us as well as a bathroom fan install and a few other small jobs. They were professional, courteous, and thorough in every detail. At the end of the job we walked the entire house and made sure everything was working correctly and that all my questions were answered. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat. read more

Exact Electric got the job done perfectly. It wasn't easy getting the door chime installed but he talked through a couple of solutions and we picked one that was easy and the least amount of drilling. He was professional, knowledgable, and careful. Highly recommend. read more

Electricians are super easy to take for granted...until you need one to fix your thermostat on Christmas Eve (good times), or install a hot tub (not a DIY affair), or put in some outlets on your patio so you can continue to live your best pandemic life outside your four walls. Whatever your project is, Exact Electric will provide friendly, responsive, fairly priced service, and will treat you like a valued customer. read more

Professional and I know they are doing a great job on my floating home. Eric Noice as been in touch and helpful. Toby is doing a great job! Would use them again. read more

If I had looked into my magic eight ball of a future several miserable years ago, I never would've guessed that an electrical contractor would be worthy of a 5-star review on Yelp, or that I'd be flaunting my sad nerdom to the world by giving an electrical contractor a Yelp review. In an industry where the customer is given a mystery estimate over the phone ($$$/ for the first hour then $$ for every quarter hour after that, and the length of the job can be anywhere from 15 minutes to several days), Zach showed his professionalism by coming to the job site, going through everything in painstaking detail, then offering a detailed estimate that didn't increase after the job was done. Being a Master of Disaster, I have what is known as a disaster of an old house, complete with two-pronged outlets, exposed ugly conduits on the ceiling, fluorescent lighting, and little gnomes living inside the walls. These are different from the gnomes I usually date, as the house gnomes' job is to cause temporary power fluctuations and weird sounds, like the house has just ingested a 12 oz steak, a bacon-cheddar smothered baked potato and a pound of laxatives and is about to blow a big one. The electrician's job was to remove some of the outlets that no longer worked, rewire others to safety codes, and remove the ceiling conduits. I had contacted the obligatory three companies to obtain bids and Zach appeared the most professional. And by professional, I mean a serious clip board with serious picture taking of all the problem areas. He then gave me the bid when he said he would AND his price was the most reasonable out of all of them. On the day of, Zach arrived with another worker, got the job done efficiently and left no garbage around and only very discrete holes in the wall (which are much more discrete than the ones I already had). The bill came a little later - almost a month later (and I'd paid no deposit) - and customers are given the choice to pay online by a very efficient payment system. And yesterday I EVEN GOT A THANK YOU CARD FROM EXACT ELECTRIC for giving them the job. Besides my dentist, who sends me holiday and birthday cards, nobody else even acknowledges my existence in this way. Hurry now. Go home and plug about 20 high-voltage electrical appliances into one socket with multiple extension cords, blow out your electrical panel, then call Zach. Like me, he'll think you're an idiot for doing so, but he'll be glad for the business. read more

I needed an electrical upgrade for a new induction range I was getting. Needed to change a 3-prong plug to a 4-prong. Due to delivery delays on the range, there were 4 total dates I had to schedule and then re-schedule, with not alot of days warning. These guys were patient with the process, showed up on schedule. Did a great job. Would use them again. Easier to get in touch with than some of the larger companies too. read more

Not going to recommend this business to anyone! The work was estimated "not over $100" on the phone, but the service guy came, fixed the problem, however, he did not have an additional switch plate with him at the moments so he called and let me know that he'll be there in 4 days to attach a switch plate!!! I told him repeatedly that I can do that myself by simply going to a hardware store and buy one for $2. He insisted that he should do it himself and its no bother. He showed up on Sunday, took him no more then 5min to attach the switch plate and I was charged "Additional Labor" $95.00 "Materials" $30.26 Complete RIP OFF read more

I had Exact Electric for a complete new a new service drop and a rewire of a 1928 house. I was mostly hands off for it, just left a key for them to go to work, they managed the permits and inspection with the city as well. Fair pricing - good pricing even. Professional, clean, good communication. What I liked best is that when they were fishing wire through my house they didn't punch a bunch of unnecessary holes through my plaster walls. I even had another contractor ask who did the work because Exact didn't make a huge mess and was affordable (as affordable as electricians go). read more

EXCELLENT service! I own a business in Seattle as well as a rental, so FINALLY finding a reliable electric company is crucial to me! We had a power surge blow out a bunch of our electrical at my business. Exact came out next day to give us a quote, but told us they couldn't fit us in until mid-December. I cringed but booked the appointment anyway. A few days later, we were moved up to December 1st and I was thrilled! But then the next day, they called back and said they could fit us in the following day. WOOT!! Our serviceman was Shane. He was FANTASTIC. His work was neat and tidy, and he made a few great suggestions for upgrading other things around my business. I will definitely use these guys for every electrical issue I have in the future! They were reliable, their work was superb and very professional! read more

We think they would have been great. Certainly pleasant enough on the phone. And even the work estimate arrived in a timely fashion at what seemed like a reasonable price. They missed the first appointment. Shame on them. But, things happen. We understand that and rescheduled. When they missed the arrival window for their second appointment, we called for an update. We were told they would be at our home in 30 minutes. 5 minutes later, phone rings, they wanted to re-schedule, again. Fooled twice? Shame on us. No thanks. There are more reliable electric companies out there. Your mileage may vary. read more

Rapid response team. I was most impressed! Do wish they were in Gig Harbor Very nice informative folks. read more

Zach and team helped our company on a commercial project for Kamiak High School. He was easily one of the top subcontractors onsite. Top three things about Exact: their open communication, them working hard without having to be constantly followed up with/babysat, and their quality of work. We ran into some challenges with special lights being long lead-time items, but Zach stayed on top of it and somehow got everything delivered and installed before school started. Additionally, a different crew damaged some floor outlets. Zach and his guys charged for materials only, taking the time to fix/install new units on their own dime. Exact is one of the main reasons this project turned out so well, and I'll use them again in a heartbeat. read more

I hired Zach to run the data cables for my rental home. He showed up when he said he would, got the job done, charged a fair price, and cleaned up after he finished working. Oh, and he is super prompt with returning phone calls and emails, that is ESSENTIAL for me. Not sure what more I could ask for in an electrician. I am also an interior designer and now happily refer him to my clients, and they have been happy, too. read more

I am a homeowner living in Phinney. I have done business with Zach for about five years now. His business is local and he started out with only one truck. Since I have known him, his business has grown, but I continue to get the same, high-quality service from Exact that I have come to expect. I attribute his success to his strong work ethic, commitment to doing the job right the first time and to his honesty. Let me give you specifics. I have an old house. I don't want to work with electricians that like to cut open walls without talking to me first and thinking things through. We needed help installing a light fixture and adding outlets upstairs. It was a tricky task. Zach planned his approach and discussed it with me. He ran romex through the attic and was careful to minimize cutting into walls. Zach installed the outlets without a hitch. The outlets have worked perfectly ever since and the light fixture he did for me looks terrific. I like that Zach listened to me and my concerns before starting the work and that he explained his plan to me ahead of time. He never tried to up-charge or up-sell me on anything. I recommend him to you without reservation. read more

We had 4 lights and ceiling fan to reinstall after doing some soundproofing of our ceiling, which also dropped the ceiling an extra inch. We found another reputable electrician online. They came out and for some reason couldn't figure out how to reinstall everything. 4 hours later we told them to go home. After reading reviews we called Exact. It took about a month for our appointment because they are so busy, but when the did come their electrician handled the whole project seamlessly. While it took a while to get the appointment, it was well worth the wait. They've got my business for sure. read more

Immediate response. Easy scheduling. Courteous. Efficient. Affordable. We had a light go bad at our entrance vestibule in the condo building. It is a safety issue because it's dark in the morning when we leave and dark at night when we get home. An appointment was promptly scheduled, and I sent images of the fixture and the solar panel to ensure all the information was conveyed correctly. They arrived on time for the appointment and had all of the parts needed to fix the problem within an hour. The invoice was very detailed showing the charges for the parts and charge for labor. It was within the price we expected for prompt service and commercial parts. Exact Electric staff and electricians are really good at what they do and communicate with you about what needs to be done and why. Very rare find for this type of trade. read more

I worked with Exact Electric to look into how much knob and tube was left in my 1941 home in Ballard. They also cleaned up some amateurish work that was done by previous owners in the attic (unhoused junction boxes). Throughout the whole process, from initial inquiry though invoicing, they were thorough in making sure I understood what work they were doing, how much it would cost, and what to expect. I'm really happy I went with Exact Electric. read more

These guys are very professional. They also really go the extra mile. They just installed a new wall heater for us and they were on time, quick sever and affordable. They were very nice on the phone too. We called them just in time too our place is so much warmer now i wish we had called them sooner! read more

Since buying a new (read: century old) house in Ballard last year we have upgraded the electrical service to the house and wired our shed out back. On a friend's recommendation, we used Exact Electric for both projects and have been completely satisfied. Exact's bids for both projects were as low or lower than any other we got, but the deciding point for us was the good reviews we'd heard about their work. They were responsive and helpful to us in figuring out what we needed to do for the project. They were also easy to scheduled, showed up on time and finished on time. It's amazing how important those things are and how hard it can be sometimes to find. For both projects the work was done well and kept very tidy, with little extra cleanup or patching left for us to do afterward. Afterward I learned that our neighbor a couple houses down - a respected contractor - also uses and recommends Exact when he needs an electrician. Not sure what we'll want to do next, but if we need electrical work we will definitely be calling Exact. read more

Efficient. Courteous. Quick response to an uncomfortably weird electrical problem. Last night we lost power in half the house. Scary because none of the breakers were tripped! I have a number of friends in construction and home and interior design and had heard good things about Exact Electric from them. This morning at breakfast with friends I mentioned my power woes and one of them said "call Exact Electric." An hour later Zach himself came by, dug around in our very full, very old panel, and found a loose neutral wire behind one of the breakers that had been slowly scorching till it finally failed. Again, scary! Glad he came. Glad he found the problem. Really glad he fixed it! The dispatcher I called was courteous and prompt. I was impressed that when his other crews were in the field the owner himself was concerned enough about my description of the situation that he came out himself. So add me to the list of people with very nice things to say about the company, the service, and the owner. I have to admit I've tended to rely on sort of cheapo brother-in-law-of-a-friend type electricians (and "electricians") in the past. And got the results I should have expected -- and fortunately didn't end up with a house fire. If I need more work I'll call them back, and I'll have no problem at all recommending them to my friends. read more

This company came highly recommended to me by another electrician who was booked at the time we needed service. I contacted them along with a couple dozen other electrical contractors, and Exact were among the first to respond. Jasmine, who works in Operations, was incredibly responsive via email even during the holiday period - that made for a great first impression. She was able to get me scheduled for the morning after Christmas - a near miracle considering all the other contractors who got back to me were unwilling or unable to take on a new project at this time. As for the project - we bought an outdoor barrel sauna that required the heater being hard-wired to its own breaker. Jasmine requested all the heater manuals and sauna installation guides over email in advance, and was able to get me an estimate without the inconvenience of an onsite visit. This also impressed me, as I believe that with adequate info and photos of the site a visit shouldn't be necessary for a project of this kind. Our home is pre-wired for a hottub, and there's an outdoor box with available slots for breakers within feet of the sauna location, so this was a pretty simple project for a skilled electrician. The Exact tech showed up precisely on time the morning after Christmas, as expected. He was polite and professional. The job took about 4-5 hours total. Unfortunately the heater wasn't reaching peak temperature after the tech left, and we later learned that some mistakes had been made on both ends - the wires going into the breaker and the wires connecting to the terminal within the heater. However, I am not docking any stars from Exact for this. One, because everyone makes mistakes sometimes, we're all human and the world would be a better place if we could all be a bit more forgiving with one another. Two, because as soon as I flagged the issue to Exact, the manager of their residential business (Eric) called me directly to troubleshoot. He sent a different tech out the SAME DAY to inspect the wiring - and this tech quickly identified the issue and corrected it that day. He even stuck around until the sauna got to the right temp - this was extremely great service, especially considering this was New Years Eve (thank you Kyle!!). We were not charged for any of this additional time as they took responsibility for the issues without any argument on my part. I wish more businesses operated with this level of integrity! All in all it was a fantastic customer service experience. Our sauna is fully operational now, months in advance of when any other electrical contractor could have done the job. I will be turning first to Exact Electric for all our future electrical needs, and strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a great electrician. Thank you to the entire Exact Electric team for making our Christmas wishes come true!!! read more

I have had them out a second time--for some new outdoor outlets. They were (again) just excellent). They new the codes and offered a better suggestion to address (my idea was not in code). Their idea was much better--and much less expensive than mine. On time, friendly, efficient, and good ideas. Easily passed inspection. Good price. Why call anyone else? cc Prompt, courteous, neat, and well done work. I should mention, I had not yet moved into the house, and I was only there to meet them at the beginning. I rec'd regular updates, they were responsive to me, and my niece, who checked in periodically, felt they were very respectful to the property and our requests. Just a really good experience-I would definitely work with them again and recommend them. read more
