Len E.

Great experience with W2 Electric. I had them add a 100A panel and Tesla Charger in my garage. Quote was very fair – comparable to a job I had done at another house in the Portland area. Great office communication on scheduling the work (Thanks Kristy). Mike and Caleb showed up on time, installed the added panel and charger and left the job site spotless. Professional all around. And friendly – exactly the kind of people you want working at your home. They also scheduled the inspection the next day to meet my schedule – which I’m sure required some extra effort. I’d highly recommend putting Walla Walla Electric high on your list (at the top) if you need electric work done. You will not be disappointed.

Christopher B.

Amazing service!!!! I called at 3:00 PM for help with some odd power issues occurring at my house (leaving me without water from our well and air conditioning). Christy helped connect me with an electrician and David the electrician was at my house within the hour. He couldn’t have been more friendly, professional and courteous. He diagnosed and fixed my problem almost immediately and was nice enough to answer all my questions and educate me along the way. I will definitely be calling Walla Walla Electric again!

Ian L.

The service and professionalism was absolutely stellar. I would recommend them as the go-to local contractors.
