Wilderness Electric

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 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.

We lost power in our master bedroom during the recent heatwave. Wilderness Electric & Oreo accommodated my request for an emergency appointment despite having been booked out for almost 2 weeks out. Oreo was on-time and fantastic at his job. He found the fault in no time and fixed the issue. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of tips as well. He was very professional and friendly. Will definitely recommend Wilderness Electric and specially Oreo for any electrical work.

We were very impressed by Wilderness Electric's/Oreo's speed, knowledge, and prices. Quality companies that don't take advantage of customers are hard to find, and this is definitely one of those rarities! I reached out to Wilderness Electric on a Wednesday to have someone out to handle a tricky new light as well as an exposed wire, and we had someone out here by Friday. Oreo arrived in a timely manner and was exceptional in taking care of us. He was knowledgeable and fair, and provided great solutions to our problems. He even asked about our electric vehicle charging solution at home and recommended a way we could get a faster charge without changing our current system. We had originally brought in a different electrical company to give us a quote for similar work and that company had quoted us $4k plus a $550 charge for the quote. Wilderness Electric diagnosed and fixed our problems and recommended a solution for our EV all for less than $500. This is an honest and competitively priced company. We will be using Wilderness Electric for all future needs!

I was looking for an electrician for advice on a kitchen remodel. Steve promptly replied to my email request and I called him the next day. He called me right back (no answering service) and we went over my project. With his advice, I won't need to spend money doing needless work. And he even advised me on some innovative ways homes are doing lighting these days. Steve's professionalism and straight talk (in perfect English) made the interaction exceed my expectations. I wished all service providers were this honest and helpful.

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.

I had my electrical panel replaced by Wilderness Electric last Thursday and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Steve and Oreo were knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all my questions (even after being out in the rain for several hours). The work was done well and within the time frame they had stated. Cost was exactly what they had estimated and was comparable to other estimates I had received. I will definitely be calling Steve, Oreo, and Wilderness for my future electrical needs.

I reached out to 4 different companies to have an electrician check out why we weren’t getting power to some outlets in our home. I only got a response from two and Wilderness Electric had the better quote. Oreo showed up earlier than expected which was fantastic! He was friendly, efficient, and informative. He fixed the problem much faster than expected, too! Highly recommend him for your electrical needs!
