3 Best Electricians in Seattle (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 7 min read

A century-old Seattle home with knob-and-tube wiring or a burst pipe next to the breaker panel is exactly the kind of job that separates a good electrician from a great one, and the companies here have built enormous review volume proving it. Between them, these electricians carry a combined total of well over 9,000 Google reviews, and every one holds a rating of 4.5 or better. Every one also handle plumbing and HVAC, useful when an electrical issue overlaps with a leak or a water heater problem.

Short answer: As You Wish Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air leads with a near-perfect 4.9 across 3,351 reviews, including full home rewires. Eco Electric, Plumbing, Heating and Air (4.8, 2,355 reviews) and Beacon Plumbing (4.5, 3,346 reviews) round out the shortlist, both handling combined electrical and plumbing emergencies.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Volume shows how many customers actually reviewed each company, weighted against the others on this page. Confidence combines both, so a business with fewer reviews doesn’t outrank one with thousands. Recency checks whether people are still reviewing them now. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does an electrician cost in Seattle? (2026)

Real customer-quoted figures on this page vary enormously by scope: a full home rewiring project ran into the thousands of dollars, while a smaller ground-wire installation or inspection landed in the low thousands. None of these companies publish a flat rate, since electrical work pricing depends heavily on home age, scope and whether a permit or panel upgrade is involved.

JobTypical price
Full 4-floor knob-and-tube rewire plus panel upgrade (real customer example)$5,000+
Ground wire installation and electrical wiring work (real customer example)$2,000+

Serving Seattle and the greater Puget Sound

These electricians cover Seattle proper and extend into the wider Puget Sound region, including areas like Marysville mentioned directly in customer reviews. If you’re searching for an electrician near me in Seattle, every one on this list serve the broader metro area rather than one fixed neighborhood.

What to ask before you hire an electrician

  • Do you charge trip or dispatch fees, and does that apply if I proceed with the job?
  • Is there a warranty on parts and labor, and how long does it last?
  • How quickly can you respond to a genuine electrical emergency?
  • Do you handle knob-and-tube rewiring if my home is older?
  • Can you coordinate with plumbing or HVAC if my issue overlaps trades?
  • What’s the realistic timeline for a project this size?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these electricians?

We compared publicly available Google ratings, review counts and recency for electrical services operating in Seattle, then read the review text to see what customers actually experienced.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do Seattle electricians handle knob-and-tube rewiring in older homes?

Yes, at least one company on this page has documented experience with full knob-and-tube rewires in homes from the 1920s, a common need in Seattle’s older housing stock.

Is it cheaper to call one company for both electrical and plumbing work?

Potentially, since all companies on this page combine electrical with plumbing and HVAC services, which can simplify scheduling and coordination for combined issues.

The bottom line

For a major project like a full rewire or panel upgrade, As You Wish Electric’s near-perfect rating and detailed project reviews make it the safest bet. For a genuine emergency where speed matters most, Beacon Plumbing’s confirmed fast response is worth having on hand, even with a slightly wider rating spread.
