I TOTALLY lucked out! I was looking for an electrician for a small job (i.e., relocating a 220v…read moreoutlet). If you have ever looked for a contractor, I'm sure you know what it's like (e.g., they may not call you back, may ghost on you, and most likely they overcharge you). Nate from Illuminate Pro Electric was totally different. As I elaborate below, Nate was a game changer. He was responsive; he showed up when he said he would; his rate was more than reasonable. ILLUMINATE PRO ELECTRIC Nate is an experienced licensed electrician (of course, insured and bonded). I highly recommend you to go to his website and read about his business. One thing to keep in mind, as mentioned on the website, he is the owner and the operator (i.e., no employees). So, he may or may not be available (when you need his service). I was lucky. I sent him a message through his website. Nate responded to me the same day, and it just so happened that he was available for the type/size of job I needed help with. COMMUNICATION Very responsive. After the initial message I sent to him, we exchanged a couple of emails and texts back and forth. As it turned out, he was available next day, and he did show up at the time he promised. It worked out great for me, but please have a realistic expectation as he has to do everything for his business. JOB PERFORMED Nate moved the 220v outlet behind the stove for me. He had to cut part of the wall, but he fixed the wall too. I cannot be happier with his work. COST His hourly rate was more than reasonable. He had to go out to get material to fix the wall, but he did not charge me for the time to go get the material. The total amount I paid (hourly labor and parts) was clearly lower than a few other bids I had received from other companies in town. Billing was easy and transparent. He emailed me an invoice with a link for payment. I just used my credit card. No extra fees or anything. His invoice was itemized (i.e., materials used and their costs along with his hourly rate). FINAL WORDS I appreciate Nate's professionalism. He is not only an experienced electrician but has a very high work ethics. He is upfront and transparent. He's professional, but not an uptight way. He's actually very personable. It was clear to me that he was eager to help me. When a homeowner is looking for a contractor, whether an electrician or a plumber, we are stressed out. Nate completely took the stress out of my stressful situation. Unqualified 5 stars! ************************************************************ If you found my review helpful, please smash the "useful" button!

Nate is flat out the best electrician we have ever used, and personable and honest to boot!…read more After being "ghosted" by one local electrical company and given a "we really dont want your business" outrageous bid by another we were fortunate to contact Nate. He responded very quickly. We told him we wanted an outdoor dawn to dusk security light installed but really didnt know what options we had. Nate explained what could be done , gave us suggestions as to what he thought was best and gave us a very reasonable bid. He explained his work situation to us and was able to complete the job, as well as replacing an indoor fixture, in a very timely manner. In addition to doing an excellent job he was kind enough to tell us he would bill our home warranty policy for a portion of the work he performed. This saved us over 100 dollars. How many contractors would do that for a new customer and a relatively small job? My wife and i recommend Nate in as strongest terms as possible. He made this experience as stress free as possible, something greatly appreciated after moving over 1500 miles back to Washington. We are sure his company is headed to great future success due to his skills, work ethic, and friendly manner. Thanks again!

They also installed wall heaters in all our bedrooms to add more comfort throughout the house, everything looks fantastic and sleek! We are so thankful to have them here today, they did wonderfully and were a delight to speak with and learn from. They left everything super clean and were in and out in about 6.5-7 hours, with a drive from Bellingham to Coupeville we are glad they made it safely! Thank you for working with us today and making this process a delightful breeze, we look forward to the heat that was much needed and the air conditioning in summertime, a bonus! It was an affordable option that fits our needs and home wonderfully, thank you for all your hard work!

I contacted Pacific Current Electric for an additional quote after speaking with another electric…read morecompany, and I am so glad I did. Zach initially came to our home over the weekend to assess the project of installing ground wiring from our house to the outdoor shed. We were looking to add more outlets and a dedicated outlet for a deep freeze. From our first conversation, Zach was responsive, super-friendly, and was highly prepared both on the phone and in person. After his visit, he provided a quote for the work, and it was half the cost compared to the other company. We set a date and Zach and his colleague were punctual and started the work immediately. Even with some issues they had to overcome and figure out due to the house being older, as well as being very accommodating to our specific requests regarding placement of outlets and panels in the shed, they completed the job in one day - tested all outlets in the shed, gave us a detailed run through of the project and results, cleaned up and they were on their way. We are extremely happy with the work they did and I would highly recommend Pacific Current Electric for your electrical needs.

I highly recommend using their services. I met with Eric personally to discuss my project and received a prompt and thorough estimate. The work was completed on schedule, they attended to every detail with precision and accuracy, plus they stayed on budget with the original estimate. Bensons really went above and beyond my expectations of customer service. Throughout our project I had questions and needed Bensons to coordinate with other contractors and they were always responsive to my needs and worked well with the other contractors to make sure that my whole renovation came together to my exact specifications. I had complete confidence that Eric and his crew would get the job done right, and that was confirmed on my final walkthrough with the City of Bellingham permit inspector. We passed our inspection with flying colors and the inspector even said "Eric is one of the good ones in this town. I never find anything wrong with his work." I will definitely use Benson's if I need any more electrical work in the future!

They installed our system in summer of 2024 and we have never regretted it. When the Skagit Valley has big storms or high winds, the power goes out, and they designed our backup battery system to manage all of our must haves for poe, like refrigerator, garage doors, some key lights, our wifi, septic system etc. In other words, when the power went, out we barely noticed. Brad and his team answered all of our questions before we committed, and were available for any after-installation questions or hit list items, of which there were only a few. We would highly recommend Truly Electric for solar installations. It was well worth the investment.
