The Top 8 Residential Electrical Contractors in Seattle 2024 (Ratings & Reviews)

If you Google ‘residential electrical contractors’ to fix an outlet or get a new main panel or car charger, you will have many companies to choose from.

And when those companies all claim to be Seattle’s #1 residential electrical contractor, how do you know which company is the right one for your project?

Naturally, we want to say Evergreen State Electrical Services (ESES) is the best provider in Puget Sound!   We think we’re pretty great and so do both Google 5-Star and the Better Business Bureau.  Our reviews are regularly amongst the highest in the industry and many of our customers can confirm this!

And while we would love the opportunity to help you out, that doesn’t automatically make us the best fit for you. Every contractor has their own niche within the industry.
