Marcus is a professional and great guy. He's very busy but great at communicating. He installed two Tesla Universal chargers and did a good job. I have enjoyed working with him and will hire him again for any additional electrical work I may need. read more

Our panel was done fairly recently by another Seattle electrician. Unfortunately, we had a lot of problems with the panel and we were constantly tripping circuits. Marcus came out to take a look, suggested some cleanup and breaker replacements, and did the job within a day. I have seriously not had a single breaker trip since then, which is amazing since before I was having to trek out there a couple times a day. Marcus pointed out places where the previous installation was failing us, and what he was doing to bulletproof it. Marcus also installed a Jackery 5000 and Smart Transfer Switch setup for us. This will give us a lot of peace of mind if the power goes out, that we can immediately switch to backup power. read more

Marcus from Origins Electric is amazing!! His level of competence, communication, and professionalism can't be beat. He installed our new electrical panel and corrected a multitude of problems cause by the previous panel installer. It was a total mess and went above and beyond to make it right. His prices also could not be beat, and he is a great guy to boot. I know he saved us a ton of money, and as new homeowners, we couldn't be more grateful. Look no further- you have found your electrician! read more

Origins Electric did a fantastic job correcting and replacing an old 240v line for our EV. I would highly recommend them for electrical work. read more

Marcus was very responsive and came out on short notice to help us solve an issue we were having with our bathroom circuit, and did so at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended! read more

Marcus is the owner and was able to get the job done fast with quality and at a very good price. Highly recommended. He is well booked so make sure to book ahead of time! read more

We've been long overdue in replacing our old Sylvania / Zinsco panel and was prompted by some issues such as flickering lights. So I wanted to get the job done fast and found that Marcus at Origins Electric could get the job done quickly and affordably based on the other bids I got. Marcus also didn't require the power company to turn off power so that also saved us waiting additional weeks. I appreciated his use of quality parts as well as his cleaning up and organizing the wiring around the panel. While the job required some job flexibility, Marcus communicated clearly and promptly and made sure our power outage was brief. In the end, we're really happy with our new panel install and would recommend Marcus at Origins Electric for your electrical needs. read more

Marcus was responsive, easy, to work with, and did a great job on my EV outlet install in my garage. His pricing was straightforward and reasonable for the job. read more

Great service! Marcus is yery friendly and talks through the project with you. Highly recommend. Would hire again!

Marcus installed a new 240v EV charger for us. The process was smooth as butter. Same day too! Would recommend.

Marcus was awesome! He fit us into his busy schedule and gave us a reasonable price. While he was at our house he came up with solutions for our project. Was very professional the whole way through and was responsive to communications. I highly recommend his services! Thank you Marcus! read more

Did not follow through to show up to estimate job after repeated texts setting days and times.

Marcus installed an EV charger in our home--clean, competent, responsive, well priced--even cooled his heels at Lowe's while the only employee with the combination to the lock securing the circuit breakers took a 25 minute break. Never complained, and called the next day to confirm the charger was working. Good guy! read more

Marcus was absolutely awesome! Professional, realistic and as honest as it gets to being a super valued electrician in this trade. 10-stars and beyond on a 5-star scale. In short, we had an emergency where we had a neutral connection going out at the meter box (huge fire hazard) so we needed a whole meter box replacement. We had 5+ quotes from various electricians in the area ranging wildly from $15k to 2k. Marcus was understanding and flexible with the circumstances and was able to move his entire schedule for the next day to come on site for a reasonable cost. Since then he's been SUPER responsive and even willing to provide insight at times to me as I was also doing my own panel upgrade/replacement. He even swung by the day I worked on it just to take a peek and see if there is anything concerning or just some quick advice etc. I don't always expect that from people in the trade but it was an incredible experience and now have our go-to electrician for whenever we might need one. Thank you Marcus again for your quality of work, flexibility and support read more

Our power was unexpectedly cut off when our mast broke, requiring a fix and a lot of updates. I was relieved when Marcus understood the urgency and said he could come out early the next day. Throughout the project he provided regular updates and insight. It was great to find someone who is both very knowledgeable in their field (even able to go to bat for us when an inspection got a bit overzealous) and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend. read more

We just moved last Friday. After contacting Marcus last Tuesday, he made time in his busy schedule to install our charger yesterday! We highly recommend him. He is the wonder of Origins Electric. We found him on yelp. read more

Marcus provided the most reasonable quote and was able to work around our busy schedules. We replaced two electrical panels, an EV car charger, and upgraded the grounding system in our new-to-us 1970's era home. Upon inspection of the panels, it was obvious our home had seen several DIY electrical upgrades over the years that hadn't been permitted. Marcus pointed out the problems and worked through each of the issues he encountered. Of note, our project ran into several difficulties that he and we hadn't anticipated. He referred us to one of his trusted colleagues so that our project could get back on track in the timeline we could all agree to. Marcus is an excellent communicator. He texted or called often, letting us know when our project was delayed. (We experienced a weather-related power outage in our area that pulled him from our project for a short time.) I was also appreciative that he took the time to explain the work he was doing throughout the entire process. We're extremely pleased that our house is now up to code and we can start looking for our next vehicle--all electric! read more

Marcus had the most competitive price quote for my EV charger outlet. While he was out to survey the install I asked about cost of getting a transfer switch for a generator. Gave a great bundle quote for both and was able to get both projects done on the same day. His work was super clean and very professionally done. His transfer switch exceeded my expectations ended up being easier to use than a previous one I had in my last home. Great product. Great service. Highly recommend! read more

Well, I don't know His technical skills since he missed the appointment twice and showed a really bad attitude after he remembered the wrong date and asked me to hire someone else. I have double checked the schedule with him after his first time missing the appointment. Don't respect clients' time and his own words. That's very unprofessional. Will never work with him again. Update after saw the reply: Check the conversation. You missed twice. (One on Oct21, one on oct24). You said will come on Saturday 8am the first time you missed the appointment. The second time is Oct24, the Saturday. I called you around 9am, but you said you cannot come because you are working! You didn't mention anything about accident until one day after I posted my comment. I did confirm with you on Oct23, the day before our appointment. I'm sorry for your accident, hope you recover soon. read more

Marcus did a great job with the grounding of our 200amp service panel and also he did our water and gas pipes bonding. He was very reliable and friendly. His price was very competitive compared to others. read more

A quick update to my earlier review: I had the final inspection by the city (not my first experience with permits/inspections) but it was a first to hear "He knew what he was doing", "great job", and "very nice work" from an inspector. Once again: Thanks to Marcus for a job very well done! read more

Our purchase of an older 1950's home included an inaccessible electrical panel built behind kitchen cabinets. After calling around a few places, Marcus was the ONLY licensed electrician with availability less than 4 weeks out. From the initial meeting, Marcus was professional, honest, knowledgeable and more than fair and upfront with his pricing. We booked him on the spot. Our panel relocation and upgrade didn't go without issues but Marcus handled them as they came without complaint. His expertise in his trade shined as he showed creativity to solve the problems that arose. It's clear that Marcus enjoys what he does. It shows through his dedication and work ethic. Get it done once and get it done right. Hire Marcus at Origins Electric. read more

A windstorm took down a large part of a tree at my home and took the power line down with it -- and destroyed my service mast. I contacted Marcus in the early, early morning hours and he and his team dispatched immediately, repaired the damage with a new mast, repaired damage to the roof from the mast failure, and arranged permits and scheduled inspection so I could quickly request reconnection from PSE. Highly recommended read more

Mike was very responsive with text though he was often very busy. We scheduled a date and paid in advance, but due to an emergency the panel upgrade fell through. After realizing the scheduled date would not work, Mike was very prompt with refunding the payment and communicating it. No work done, but the price was competitive with other offers and Mike was very professional in an unfortunate situation. read more

I'm not an electrician. I know my limits when it comes to home repair. Unfortunately, the person who previously owned my house did not. Which means I had an overloaded, poorly wired and unsafe electrical panel that Marcus discovered when he stopped by my house for what we both thought would be a simple electrical job. It was not. Marcus took one look at the rat's nest of wires and patiently explained the humming Panel of Fiery Death that I had in my house, and why it absolutely needed to be replaced immediately. His exact quote was "this is the type of thing that I lose sleep over." I'm giving Origins Electric a five star review for three reasons: -Professional: Marcus is the real deal. He's seen some things and he knows how to fix them. He ripped out our old panel and upgraded it with a new 200 amp service. All up to code, expertly installed - with neat rows of wires that left no doubt that this guy knew what he was doing. Of course licensed/bonded/insured. -Hard work: Marcus is in his element when he's solving problems and fixing messes. He's not there to mess around, talk about the weather or exchange small talk. He's there to work. I got the sense that he viewed my job as a personal challenge. Even as he encountered additional setbacks and more MacGyver-esque wiring, he powered through and worked his tail off to get us set up. -Honest: What you see is what you get with Marcus. His word is his bond. His pricing was more than fair and there was no upsell or other tactics that I've experienced with other home repairs. Bottom line - I hope your home wiring is in better shape than mine was. If not, I definitely recommend Marcus at Origins Electric to help you out. read more

Origins-Electric - Our new (safe) electrical panel! - Electricians Near Me

Marcus upgraded my panel for a fair price, and he was able to make extra adjustments to the house to get the electrical work to code without damaging the house. He is professional and communicates well. Furthermore, he is highly accountable. He had finished the panel upgrade, and an inspector asked for further adjustments and nitpicked his work (things like removing paint and how a nipple needs to be installed a certain way). Because I had tenants moving in, I had to have him come back months later. Once the time came around, he did the job, got inspector to approve, and got PSE to get power back on very quickly. Coordination of all those things is a big pain, and Marcus got it done and did it quickly too. Marcus has customer-first mentality, and I'd definitely have him do my future electrical jobs. I highly recommend him! read more

The best electrician in the town. Love my new panel. He is always answering my phone calls and text. Spent a lot of time to speak with PsE. Go above and beyond. Best electrician. You have to choose him! read more

Marcus was great - professional with his work, and very responsive and in good communication throughout the process. He took the time to explain in detail what needed to happen and why. In short, I had a tree come down on my power line and it yanked my meter base and mast out of whack. Marcus took care of all the work (new base and mast) and also installed a new panel. He made sure it was done properly and in the end was able to get a quick inspection as well and had me up and running quickly. Thanks again, Marcus! read more

Marcus runs a first class operation. We needed to upgrade an old 130 amp service to a larger modern 200 amp service to accommodate an EV charger and some high draw outlets. Marcus did a beautiful job installing the new service from the power mast down to the panel and the additional features described above. On top of all that he was highly responsive and great on price (I had several bids). I'd hire him again in a heartbeat for any related work and hope to find the opportunity to. read more

Marcus came out and did some electrical work for us and we couldn't be happier! He was both professional and kind which is a great combo to find when you have someone coming into your home. I appreciated that he gave us a couple of different options to choose from and that he was able to get the parts needed and finish things up same day. I would absolutely recommend Origins-Electric and will use him again if we need any future work done! It's a big thumbs up from us! read more

We had an emergency when the main breaker failed in our 40+ year old panel, leaving our house in the dark. The breaker was no longer available and the electricians I contacted would not even come to look at it for over 2 weeks. I found Origins Electric and Marcus made time in his schedule to come over that day after work at 5. He committed to get our power reztored even though it required work on Saturday and Sunday. He pushed thru to completion even when extra time was required by the funky way our second panel was connected to the failed panel. I am very thankful for the new panel and heartily recommend Marcus for his skill and customer service emphasis. Tom O, Brier read more

Marcus did an excellent job, and stuck with it even though it was a tough one. He had some unexpected hiccups (the job was more complex than originally expected), but did not let that stop him from doing good work. He went above and beyond to make sure that the job was not just complete, but to his own standards, above those required. He was very professional the entire time. read more

Marcus was first to reply, and was quick to offer his services with date and approximate time. He was quick to diagnose the issue and was done in no time.

We needed to get a new electrical panel for our house and called up at least 4 different electricians to get their scope and cost estimate. Marcus of Origins Electric was very prompt with our request for service, and comparing his approach and cost estimate, we felt confident that he can get the job done at a reasonable price. And we were right. Marcus was great to work with on our electrical panel replacement job. He was super friendly and knowledgeable and really cared about helping us out. The project ended up being a little tricky based on the age and complexity of our house but Marcus did not shy away from the added challenge. He continued to work hard until the job was done. I would definitely recommend him for any future electrical jobs read more

Marcus installed a replacement/upgraded panel and then did a full basement rewire at our house. His quote was competitive, but more importantly he is an electrician you can trust to care about what he does. The job was arduous and complicated, but Marcus showed incredible resilience and persistence in getting it finished. He is extremely knowledgable, reliable and committed to doing things the right way. He doesn't cut corners, and is an electrician who will go the extra mile to give you the results you want. I would recommend him wholeheartedly - thanks for sticking with it! read more

Marcus is an absolute gentleman. I would recommend Marcus to anyone in the area looking for HONEST and professional work. His proposed scope of work covered everything we needed in order to get back to code and have PSE restore our power after a storm. Unlike other providers (that we got quotes from) Marcus did not try to sell us things we didn't need and his price was a lot more competitive. We will certainly continue to work with him in the future. read more
