Mike was extremely confrontational when I reminded him that the appt was for 10:00, it was now 10:15 and he was still over an hour away. Then he went on a rampage about how he has been at WW Electric for 3 decades and he wasn't about to make the drive to the middle of no where if I was going to ask any questions about why he wasn't here at the appointed time. My goodness. Time to retire mikey

Amazing service! I called at 3:00 PM for help with some odd power issues occurring at my house (leaving me without water from our well and air conditioning). Christy helped connect me with an electrician and David the electrician was at my house within the hour. He couldn't have been more friendly, professional and courteous. He diagnosed and fixed my problem almost immediately and was nice enough to answer all my questions and educate me along the way. I will definitely be calling Walla Walla Electric again!

Walla Walla Electric saved the day! After calling multiple electric companies in town, WW Electric was the only company that returned our calls-and in a timely manner. We desperately needed an electrician to inspect our knob and tube wiring and give us a replacement quote to satisfy an insurance clause with our company or our homeowners insurance would have been terminated. Even though WW Electric was booked out 2+ months, they sent an electrician within a week because of the urgency.
The electrician was courteous, professional, and friendly. He found things the previous 2 home inspectors didn't find with the wiring, wrote a note for our insurance company, and gave us a quote to replace what little knob and tube was left in the house. We will definitely be using Walla Walla Electric for the replacement and repair work. And we were able to maintain our insurance thanks to their speedy response and professionalism!

Had the vice president of the company come out an look at our house for a solar power system. He showed up about 30 min late. He walked around did his thing and then told my wife he would send her a bid. He came over on the 23rd if July and as of today September 7th we still have not heard from anyone at this company. Even after several calls to get the bid.
