My husband and I recently purchased a home and were informed that because we had a deep freezer we needed to reach out to Prarie about possibly installing an outlet that would hold power to keep my deep freezer running. My husband called and explained what we needed. Who ever he spoke to did inform us that it was going to be $190 for the first hour and $90 every hour plus parts. That’s it and proceeded to schedule our appointment. The electrician showed up and was very kind (which is why I gave 2 stars because my husband spoke highly of him and said he appeared to feel bad about what I am about to say) and my husband asked him something to the effect of do most deep freezers need this to which the electrician replied something along the lines of not typically for newer deep freezers. So 2.5 hours later, I get a call from my husband stating we had a bill for $798 we needed to pay. I asked how, and he broke it down as approximately $300 for labor, $200 for parts, $150 for a permit, and I believe the rest ro taxes. Firstly, I am not an electrician nor am I a construction professional, how am ai supposed to know I was going to need a permit? Additionally, before having someone pay almost 1k in fees, you should probably break down the cost analysis and ask questions to ensure they know what they are asking for. Would recommend training or something on that…because of this experience, I wouldn’t recommend you all to anyone…ever…hopefully this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Beautiful facility! Everyone I've interfaced with at PE are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. The PE Panel Shop is unparalleled. Ben Gross is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Absolute rip offs for residential services. Called them back for a repair completed 30 day prior, same issue resurfaced, wanted to charge us a $250.00 service fee. Also had a bid of $5,000.00 to install an outdoor outlet! Highly recommend going elsewhere for residential electric needs and skip these con artists.

Prairie Electric was there for us on a Saturday afternoon! Every person we spoke with on the phone or in our home was very helpful, knowledgeable and kind. They went above and beyond to make sure we didn't have to go all weekend without power. I highly recommend giving them a call!

This company arrived to diagnose a clients generator.
Not too sure what they did , to actually diagnose the problem.
nothing?
They DID inform the client they needed a new ($20,000 plus) generator.
Or possibly an issue with the electrical.
I replaced a spark plug and added a small amount of oil. Started right up.
How can you be in the business of repair, and not check a spark plug?
And then suggest the client spend money for nothing as well as charge them full price. Charge to misdiagnose? Should be paying for the electrician she paid for no reason.

Prompt service and very professional. My only concern was that they were a bit busy and couldn't get to installing my backup generator for a couple of months, but it was well worth the wait and to be expected, as I approached them shortly after the pandemic subsided and seemingly all contactors were busy. Ben showed up and worked so fast and efficiently it was hard to follow him, although I sat in a chair not ten feet away watching for quite a while. They have their skills dialed in and seem to do complex wiring as easy as if they were breathing. A faulty part became apparent during the install, and they replaced it in about thirty minutes. They came up with a novel solution to keep our well pump house, which is distant from the house, working while providing a high-quality generator to keep the home running. The result is we have peace of mind up in the cascade foothills where the power is periodically out during the heavy winter months. Ryan, who coordinated the job with me was very helpful and made the whole process run smoothly and was always easy to reach with questions and accommodating my particular needs. They are a professional engineering company top to bottom. They are probably more geared to high end construction work, but they treated me as if I was just as important as their larger contracts.
This type of major upgrade to provide a whole house on septic and a well with continuity of service is not cheap, but sometimes, you get what you pay for. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a job well done and the peace of mind that it will last for years. Of course, it passed inspection, which is not always the case, and critical if you think ahead about the potential problems selling a home someday. They chose a beautiful, quality brand generator hospitals use, that will last us for many years. Someday I may need a medical machine of some sort in order to stay in my home and I have no doubt I'll have the confidence of continuity of service given the quality workmanship Prairie Electric provided. I highly recommend them.

As the owner of a local home inspection company I look at hundreds of homes a year and inspect the electrical system. I see the work of many different electricians and can definitely say Prairie Electric is the best in the business. I refer them to all my clients who need electrical repairs done.
I own a 70s home in Vancouver and the main panel was outdated, I had Prairie upgrade my panel yesterday. The work they do is top notch, very neat and professional at a very fair price.
I highly recommend Prairie for all your electrical needs!
