Fifty years in the Yakima Valley

May 1974 · the first storefront
Two roll-up bays, a pickup at the curb and THUNDER ELECTRIC over the door. Since then the shop has been learning the nuts and bolts of everyday electrical repair and installation in homes and businesses right here in the Yakima Valley.
New generations · a panel, dressed
Kody, in the Est. 1974 shirt, next to a residential panel he just finished: every conductor run square down the sides. Panel and service changes, breaker repair and new circuits are the bread and butter of the residential side.
Today · fans and fixtures
A black LED ring fan, straight out of the box and up on the ceiling. Thunder sells the fans and wafer downlights it installs, so the fixture and the wiring come from the same shop.

“Their bid came in literally 7k less than another bid I got for the same work (someone trying to take advantage thinking I didn't know what I was doing I'm sure). I hired them for electrical work throughout our new house as part of a renovation. Jared was the BEST.”
“If you're wondering who to hire in Yakima, call Thunder.”
“I’ve been having problems with my electric for years. Other businesses told me I’d have to replace my entire panel and that would have cost 7k. Charlie came out and looked at my electric and fixed it in less than an hour. He was amazing! Thunder electric is my go to company now!”
“I had a problem on a Sunday. Thunder Electric was at my house in two and a half hours. The technician that came was efficient, polite, answered my questions, and corrected the problem.”
