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.

Questions

Ceiling Fan Installation & Wiring FAQs for Puyallup Residents

Direct answers, with a link to the full guide where there is more to say.

Can I install a ceiling fan in place of an existing light fixture?

Only if the existing junction box is specifically stamped "Acceptable for Fan Support". Over 85% of standard boxes must be upgraded to fan braces.

How does running a ceiling fan in winter save heating energy?

Running the fan clockwise on low speed gently pushes warm air that rises to the ceiling down into living spaces without creating a draft.

Do you assemble the fan blades and downrods?

Yes. We provide complete assembly, downrod installation, wiring, testing, and clean-up for all ceiling fan fixtures.
