Consistently high ratings note thorough diagnostics, fair pricing for the scope, and professional communication from scheduling through final walkthrough.

I just had the best interaction with an electric company that I you can only dream of! West Side Electric was helpful, gave prompt service, and employ the friendliest professionals that take the time to explain and answer the same questions, I’m sure the same they’re asked several times a day, with patience and grace. I’ve used this company in the past for complex work and I know I’ll be using them for all my needs in the future. Big shout out to Linda? ( forgive me , you know how helpful you were. They say first impressions are the most important and they’re right) Glen and of course Tristan!
A1 outfit! 10 stars!

C. Cameron Hagen on West Side Electric Company

We had a mix of basic electrical work and a problem solving task for electrical problems created 25 and 75 years ago. We expected a large price tag so we requested estimates from 3 excellent electricians. The old part of our project required problem solving, thoughtfulness and communication. That's what we got from Toby and WSE. Toby generated solutions and insights that stood out from the rest. Estimate was the most cost effective. Work was done effectively, quickly, cleanly, on time, and without overruns. Excellent experience beginning to end from first contact through final bill, appointments, problem solving, timeliness, crew effectiveness, communication and cleanliness. Sincerely 10/10.

Scott Jacobson on West Side Electric Company

Jason was fantastic. I had two rather difficult and sizable light fixtures to install onto a concrete ceiling.. He handled the job with ease and was quite professional and courteous. Everything was cleaned up when he left and the lights look great.
I would highly recommend Jason and westside electric.

I called WSE service center and was promptly connected to someone who could help get me a quote for a hot tub hookup, and able to share pictures so it was incredibly clear.

The journeyman Jason who helped me was incredibly knowledgeable and did things to the best quality possible, and tried worked hard to do the install how I wanted to make it clean and tucked away in the walls of our home. We had to get down from the wall into crawl space and it was really smooth and quick!

My electrical panel had some mistakes (some were my own) he helped me fix those too!

What a great experience! Jason arrived exactly on time, warmly greeted us our puppy, and got to work. We had an extra item (wiring and installing an outdoor light). He told us to do his best to get it done, but he wasn't sure he could do that the hour time slot.
He quickly assessed the situation as he had to pull wire through an outside wall. It was such a pleasure to have him working here. He came and asked a couple times just to make sure we had the right placement which was appreciated. When the job was done, things looked great. He got it all done in three hours.I highly recommend Jason K. and Westside Electric!
