Continuous Power Supply Your home stays lit, warm, and functional, even when the rest of the neighborhood is in darkness.

Protection Against Food Spoilage Keep your fridge and freezer running smoothly, saving you from the headache of spoiled food.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Smart Electric came to our house because I believed that we needed new ductwork for our HVAC system. I believed this because our plumber had fixed a pipe in our crawl space and he told me that your ductwork is a mess. I believed him, and on the recommendation of a friend, I called Smart Heating for an estimate. The estimator came out and said that though the insulation around our ductwork "isn't pretty," he had run tests and everything was functioning "just fine" and so no work was needed.

I thanked him and wrote this well-deserved review. If you want an honest company choose Smart Electric. I will certainly do so the next time.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Smart Electric is hands down the best heating and air company in Seattle. Their prices are very reasonable, and the whole staff goes above and beyond. I've used them for two big projects: a panel upgrade and the installation of a new wall heater. In both cases, the pricing was well below competitor quotes, and the crew finished the work quickly, and delivered excellent service.

Smart Electric also came to my rescue when my hardwired fire alarms failed in the middle of the night and wouldn't stop chirping.  They even stopped at Home Depot to pick up replacements for me since I was at work and not able to myself. These guys are the best!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an exhaust fan replaced and our electrical service upgraded from 1960’s 100A to 200A modern service, including an EV charger installation. The team did a fantastic job, kept downtime to a minimum, and everything works and looks great too. Smart Electric dealt with all the permits and kept us informed. The design is substantially improved and the quality of the work is apparent. I'm very glad we had the chance to work with Smart Electric again!

 Verified I have used Smart Electric Services on multiple occasions.  They installed a new heating and air conditioning system in January 2025.  Today they were servicing my air conditioner.  My service person was Gram.  He found the reason for my issue almost immediately.  He then presented me with multiple options.  The solution involved the filter.  We discussed the best option for my home and he left went to his next call and returned with the filter system for the AC.  I then asked about a window AC in my sunroom. And he is giving me a quote to fix or replace.  He is knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills.  I highly recommend the company's services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience with Smart Electric. After many other companies came to try to restore power to my septic unsuccessfully, I was referred to Smart Electric through Generic. It was late in the day but Earl and partner (so sorry didnt catch his name) took time to stop by before wrapping up. They didnt have too, they could have easily went home and relaxed after a long day and have me scheduled for the following day. They restored my power within minutes. I am beyond greatful for their knowledge and genuine caring attitudes. Strongly encourage anyone in need of an electrician to call Smart electric FIRST, you will save so much time and stress. Great people all around. Thank you  🙏

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Home Advisor. Five stars for Smart Electric! After multiple companies failed to restore power to my septic system, Generac referred me to Earl and his partner. Despite it being the end of a long workday, they went out of their way to stop by instead of pushing me to the next day. They had my power back up and running within minutes! I am incredibly grateful for their knowledge, professionalism, and kindness. Save yourself time and stress—call Smart Electric first! Thank you so much! 🙏

HVAC diagnostic and annual service.  System failed on a Sunday, i called and the Technician arrived same day!!!  Excellent service and i highly recommend this company.

May 2021 installation:
Cory and Joe were fantastic. The A/C installation went without a hitch. The overall cost was lower than three other quotes I had received for the job. At the beginning of the A/C install I noticed the water heater was leaking, and they were able to replace it the next day. I will definitely use them again.

I cannot recommend an electrical company high enough. Smart Electric Seattle is absolutely awesome. The entire team, Joe, keith, Devin, John, and I'm sorry there were more guys, but these guys are absolutely awesome. 
I had a complete rewire on my house no more knob and tube, 200 amp breaker box and a 100 amp a case we need it in the future. Seattle City light move the powerline and installed a brand new one above the house. Whoot!!! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BprTZKyaw/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Smart Electric was pretty good to work with. We were especially pleased with the technician, Gram, who was kind, communicative, and thorough with his work. He came back multiple times for final touches and adjustments after the inspection report. In general, there were a couple of communication gaps with the company when initiating the project and day 1 of work, but it got settled by the end. We are pleased with our new heat pump and furnace.

 Verified They were prompt to come when they said they would. While they were here, they spent a lot of time carefully cleaning each mini-split head in the house, which was a separate service I requested.

They also spent a long time diagnosing the icing issue while the system was in heating mode. This was a huge improvement from the very expensive misdiagnosis I had previously received. Their repair ended up costing about one-quarter of the previous quote, and I would not hesitate to contact them again for future service.

 Verified I've worked with Smart Electric a couple of times now, and they continue to impress.

I initially reached out to have a new electrical plug installed at our place. The team was timely, friendly, and very clean with their work. What I appreciated most was that they didn't just "do the job", they took the time to explain why extending an existing outlet made more sense than installing a completely new one. That level of transparency and honesty goes a long way.

Their communication throughout has also been excellent.

On a separate issue, I reached out about some flickering lights. After a quick back-and-forth, I was able to troubleshoot it myself (turned out to be the bulbs), and they were completely supportive, no pressure to book a visit, just helpful guidance.

There's a reason I keep going back to Smart Electric for anything electrical. They're reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely great to work with.

Highly recommend.

 Verified Smart electric helped us a few years ago when the power feed into our house (breaker) blew.  They were out to our house the next day and made a plan to replace the circuit breaker box while we were on vacation.  They went through the house and turned off the unneeded breakers for safety.  I just called today because we had some flickering lights and I was nervous that it indicated an electrical problem.  I immediately got a phone apt. scheduled with Joe, the owner.  In 10 minutes he explained to me that this was perfectly normal and safe.  I appreciated that he spoke with me at no charge.  I will be using them again for any fixture replacement and electrical work I do in the future.  I highly recommend Smart Electric!

Last step in a kitchen remodel was to replace the older, hyalogen under cabinet lighting.  Smart Electric was quick to replay, came up with a new LED option that would fit perfectly in the existing area.  In addition, it was the most affordable quote we received.  The process was seamless from getting a quote to the install and we are really happy!

 Verified Unfortunately we came across a mini emergency where one of our circuit breakers did not turn back on, after shutting off the electricity for other home repairs. Even worse was that circuit was utilized by the fridge and controlled electricity to half the kitchen. We were very lucky to get in touch and have Joseph stop by the same day (very lucky within less than 1 hour of calling). He was able to quickly diagnose the faulty breaker switch and repair the issue, as well as point out identifiable past/potential future issues given the age of our home. We appreciated how expedited things were, Joseph's energy, and will definitely consider this company for future needs.

Can't go wrong with them.
