Reviews

What customers say

Several customers praise the quality of the electrical work, from clean conduit and a full electrical update in a 1915 home to workmanship an inspector commented on. One customer describes a frustrating EV-charger quote process: after waiting a week and following up, they were asked to provide a load calculation, then told the company would not do the installation. Another customer says Brien completed an EV-charger project with a subpanel in a day, and the inspector commented on the workmanship.

Customer Reviews

Nathan Jordan

Tech came out to bid for an EV charger installation. He left and said he'd send me a quote. A week went by and I never received a quote. I had to email the owner to ASK for a quote. The owner responded that I (an accountant and THE CUSTOMER) needed to do a load calculation before they would do anything. I am no electrician. I sent him pictures of our breaker box with labels AND told him I had another company come out for a quote that did a load calculation the week before. That calculation came out to 80% capacity. I receive an email from the owner a day later saying he would not spend any more time on my EV install and that they would not help me or do any installation. Why didn't the tech do a load calculation onsite? Why is it my responsibility to do so when I am not an electrician? And why did I have to bug the owner to get a quote so that I could pay him money? Terrible customer service. Thanks for wasting my time.

Brien is so helpful, his work was above and beyond my expectations. I got my 1915 house knob and tube removed and all electrical updated. Any issues that he saw, even if not electrical related, was brought to my attention to address. All of his recommendations for other work to be done ended up great.

Went to Bluebeard Coffee on south Tacoma Way. I asked who did the electrical work in the shop and the barista said "The Tacoma Electrician". The clean, straight conduit work stands out in the coffee shop. Great job.

Chad Manning

Brien was top notch! I wanted to add an EV charger to a detached garage which meant adding a sub panel as well. I got quotes from 6 businesses, 2 came out but never submitted a bid. The other 3 were all double or more than the estimate Brien gave me. He got me on the schedule within a week and knocked out the entire project in a day. Workmanship was fantastic (even commented on by the electrical inspector), and he also cleaned up and relabeled our old panel. I will definitely be calling him with any future electrical needs and would highly recommend him!

If you’re looking for an electrician in Tacoma, this is seriously the best company. I own several units and I am contractor here in Tacoma as well, I can definitely recommend The Tacoma Electrician. The Tacoma Electrician has installed electric vehicle chargers at my personal house, done remodel and repair work on several of our units, installed lights and outlets at various projects for us, and even wired an entire tiny home project we built. Overall they're a super helpful and honest company to work with.
