Reviews

What Puyallup customers say

Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 184 customer reviews.

Our 1980s breaker panel started buzzing violently during an afternoon windstorm when our heat pump kicked on. Pro Electrician had a truck at our home within 40 minutes, identified loose bus bar connections, and replaced the failing breakers safely.

David R.

South Hill, Puyallup, WA

Living in a 1920s historic craftsman home, our insurance required knob-and-tube mitigation. Their team rewired our attic and living spaces without damaging our lath-and-plaster walls. Clean, courteous, and passed L&I inspection with flying colors.

Patricia M.

Downtown Puyallup, WA

After repeated winter storm power outages on the plateau, we decided on a Generac standby generator with an automatic transfer switch. The team handled the permits through Bonney Lake seamlessly and completed the installation with outstanding craftsmanship.

Robert K.

Bonney Lake, WA

Installed a Tesla Wall Connector in our finished two-car garage. They ran conduit neatly along the ceiling joists, installed a 60-amp dedicated breaker, and completed the job in under three hours with zero mess.

Can you add a subpanel instead of replacing my whole panel in Lipoma Firs?

Yes. If your main service has enough amperage headroom, installing a 60A or 100A subpanel in your garage provides plenty of new breaker slots.
