What Yakima Valley customers say after the crew leaves

Two piles of proof, kept apart on purpose. First, what people wrote on Google, with the stars Google recorded. Then the notes customers sent to Thunder Electric directly, which we show as they wrote them and without a star rating.

“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!”

“Thunder Electric has done great work for us in the past. They did great work for us again and understood when they had to redo some of the work on a weekend to reverse extra charges. Thank you”

“I had an electrial issue so I called Thunder Electric, spoke with Kit who was pleasant and very efficient with taking care of my problem. The technician named Will, was sent to my home to repair three electrical outlets that had stopped working. He was very thorough, professional and fixed my electrical problem within a reasonable amount of time. I’ve used Thunder Electric in the past for any electrical needs and will continue to do so. They are a great company in every aspect. I highly recommend them !!”

“Thunder Electric was the best experience I have had hiring someone to help with work on my house- not just better than previous electricians, but the best overall. They were responsive, quick, and professional in coming to give a bid. 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. He was nice, communicative, hard working, and you can tell he cared about what he was doing in our home. The guys that were helping him were all fantastic. The icing on the cake was they were all just funny and great people to have in our home for the 1.5 days it took them to do the job. If you're wondering who to hire in Yakima, call Thunder. I feel like this company as a whole has a sense of honor, trustworthiness, and pride in what they do that is hard to find these days. Thank you Jared and team for making all of this such a pleasurable experience for me and my family! I would never call anyone else for my electrical needs again.”
Maggie L, Thunder Electric customer. A whole-house renovation, a bid 7k under the other one, and a day and a half of Jared's crew.

More from our customers

“I called Thunder Electric about adding an outlet to my spare room. I wasn't sure if it could be done. I had an electrician out in a couple of days. The young man was here promptly on time. Told me a couple of options and the best way to do this. He did the job the same day and did it quickly. He cleaned up everything-even offered to vacuum where he had been working. A very nice and efficient young man. I was more than pleased. I've had Thunder Electric in the past and they did another great job. I highly recommend Thunder Electric.”
Katherine Weddle, Thunder Electric customer

Sheryl, Thunder Electric customer
“Very professional and polite. He got right to it and fixed my problem. Great service would recommend. Thank you for your help”
Mary Watlamet, Thunder Electric customer
“Excellent and prompt service. They were able to come to my house on the same day I called for service even though it wasn't an emergency. I had three small issues that needed to be addressed. The technician was professional and friendly. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and explained what he was doing along the way as he addressed the different problems. This is the second time I have used Thunder Electric, and I've been very happy with them both times.”
Angela Gonzalez, Thunder Electric customer
“I'm a repeat customer, and these folks have earned my loyalty through providing great customer service, doing quality work at a reasonable price. What more can you ask for? Thunder will be doing a bigger project for me in the future and I'm confident that it will be done in the same manner. I recommend them to anyone needing electrical service.”
Shawn Blackshear, Thunder Electric customer
“I like that text is available and immediate response, 24/7 emergency service, and the prompt service. The electrician completed the job with ease and confidence”
Anita Mendoza, Thunder Electric customer

“This is the third time I've called Thunder Electric for various issues and have been very impressed with their professionalism and sense of urgency and safety.”
Diane Harkins, Thunder Electric customer
“Great experience with Thunder Electric. Daniel was very informative and guided me through the PPL paperwork. Monic and Cara Jo responded to my emails and calls each time. They all answered my many questions and gave me the breakdown of what to expect once I made my choice to have Thunder Electric install power. It was easy to work with such friendly people. Exceptional customer service!”
Eva Ramos, Thunder Electric customer
“The electrician was very knowledgeable and helpful. Gave me many suggestions. They arrived the same day. Would definitely use this company again.”
Melissa Esquivel, Thunder Electric customer
“Cody and TJ showed up on time, took care of the work quickly. Were very polite, professional, and took care to be very clean as well, which I appreciated. Highly recommend Thunder Electric.”
Joe Biondi, Thunder Electric customer
“I needed a rush job to have a GFCI replaced. A family friend recommended Thunder Electric. I contacted Thunder Electric and spoke with Kara, who was extremely nice and helpful. She was able to dispatch an electrician to come out and replace the GFCI that same afternoon. Ely was the electrician who handled the job and did excellent work. I would definitely use Thunder Electric again for future electrical work.”
Donald Farmer, Thunder Electric customer
