We compared 19 electricians in Seattle on Google Maps · 4 listed · How we rank

A century-old Seattle home with knob-and-tube wiring is exactly the kind of job that separates a good electrician from a great one. Every company here holds a Google rating of 4.5 or better, and between them they carry more than 9,100 reviews. The real choice is scope: Mirsky Electric does electrical work only, while As You Wish, Eco and Beacon also handle plumbing and HVAC, which helps when an electrical fault overlaps with a leak or a water heater.

Short answer: Mirsky Electric is our Featured Partner, an electrical-only contractor rated 4.9 on Google, with reviewers describing knob-and-tube rewires and panel upgrades in older homes that came in under the estimate. As You Wish Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air matches that 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.

Mirsky Electric

4.978 Google reviews

Mirsky Electric is a Seattle electrical contractor that does electrical work only: service calls and troubleshooting, panel, meter and service upgrades, knob-and-tube rewires, EV chargers, generators and lighting. The company says it has served the Seattle area since 1997, and that it gives realistic quotes and arrives when it says it will.

Its 4.9 rating comes from 78 Google reviews. One reviewer had the knob-and-tube wiring replaced upstairs in a 1906 house in about a week, as the estimate said, and another had a full rewire with a panel and service upgrade in a 1950s home, where the crew cut as little drywall as possible. Both say the final cost came in under the estimate. A third chose Mirsky for a panel replacement as the fairest price after seven quotes, and a fourth notes that Mirsky pulled the permit and the Seattle City inspector was satisfied with the finished work.

What people praise

  • Pulls the permit, and one reviewer's job passed Seattle City inspection
  • Knob-and-tube and full rewires in older homes, with minimal drywall cutting
  • Two reviewers say the final bill came in under the estimate
  • Picked as the fairest price after seven quotes for a panel replacement
  • Repeat customers, including one reviewer hiring them a second time

Our take: Mirsky Electric suits Seattle homeowners with an older house who need rewiring, a panel upgrade or a permitted repair from a company that does only electrical work. Reviewers are consistent about clear estimates and final costs at or below them. One reviewer suggests allowing some lead time, so book ahead for projects that are not urgent.

Eco Electric, Plumbing, Heating and Air

4.82,355 Google reviews

Eco Electric, Plumbing, Heating and Air is a family-owned company since 2012 covering electrical inspections, panel work and wiring installation alongside plumbing and HVAC services.

What people praise

  • Strong rating across a large review base
  • Handles combined electrical, plumbing and HVAC emergencies in one visit
  • Technicians described as thorough during electrical inspections
  • Same-day response confirmed by multiple reviewers

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer noted the cosmetic finish of a new panel installation fell short of the rest of the work

4.53,346 Google reviews

Beacon Plumbing, Heating, Electrical & Mechanical has served Seattle since 1999 with over 100 licensed technicians and advertises no trip charges alongside a one-year guarantee on parts and labor.

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+

Figures sourced from customer reviews describing their own project costs, verified August 2026. Not official published pricing.

Serving Seattle and the greater Puget Sound

Mirsky Electric lists its address on NW Market Street in Ballard, As You Wish and Eco are based in SoDo, and Beacon sits just south of downtown on 7th Avenue South. All of them work across Seattle proper, and customer reviews mention jobs as far out as Marysville. If you’re searching for an electrician near me in Seattle, the type of job matters more than which neighborhood the office is in.

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

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

Yes. Reviewers describe As You Wish rewiring a 1927 home and Mirsky Electric replacing the knob-and-tube wiring in a 1906 house, a common need in Seattle’s older housing stock.

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

Potentially. As You Wish, Eco and Beacon all combine electrical with plumbing and HVAC, which simplifies scheduling when problems overlap. Mirsky Electric does electrical work only, which suits a rewire, panel upgrade or permitted repair where no other trade is involved.

The bottom line

For a rewire, panel upgrade or permitted repair on an older house, Featured Partner Mirsky Electric is an electrical-only specialist whose reviewers say jobs finished at or under the estimate. For a major project where you want the deepest review history, As You Wish Electric’s 4.9 across more than 3,300 reviews makes it a safe 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.
