Eylander Electric - Everett, Washington

Paula C.

We lost power to our living room last week. We called John at Eylander Electric and he sent out Ghrig Anderson and Spenser who showed up after about 45 minutes of talking to John. Then within about an hour from arrival the problem was permanently fixed. The patiently went along to see which outlet was the problem and accomplished the goal; electricity to the front room. They were professional and pleasant. I will not call any other electric company except Eylander Electric from here forward. They have a A+ rating with Better Business and they have been in business for 68 years in the Everett area. We love them!

I had these guys come out in December 2015 and install a 50 amp RV receptacle and sub panel for my RV. I spoke with John and he informed me over the phone that it would be $800.00. I thought great, sounds good. They came out later in the week and preformed the work. They did a great job with everything. My credit card was charged for the agreed upon amount of $800.00. Mid March 2016 I get a bill from them for an additional $300+ in labor and supplies. Not cool.

Very odd company with many issues, I wouldn't recommend them, and I've used them a couple times. E.G. everywhere on their website they have "call us" numbers listed, but when you call them, the VM says "text only". But when you text them, the number comes back as invalid. Over the last couple years they have been very hard to get a hold of and will not return calls or emails. Also if you do get a hold of them, the scheduling person is not very nice.

Review of Eylander Electric

The service for which Eylander was hired was a very simple one for a home – patch up a nicked wire, and install a new outlet on our front porch.

After two visits by their electrician and five visits by the rather rude supervisor, and a visit to their business to talk with the owner... the new outlet still does not work. The supervisor is also refusing to come back out to our house to complete the job. They charged $600 for this disservice, $100 of which the supervisor dodged answering for in the invoice – overcharge!!

Personalities of the supervisor and owner are disgraceful. In our experience, Jim Eylander (the owner) and John Eylander (his son, the supervisor) are clearly 'classic' males – thinking that women can have no brains, and that customers do not know anything about being an electrician. Jim talks down to customers and does not listen to customers (not because he can't with his age, but because he won't... he ignores what you say and interrupts to continue his own talking.)

After their electrician installed the outlet and left, we nudged it (it looked a little crooked) and IT SPARKED AND SMOKED!! Clearly something wrong, and not safe! Immediately called the supervisor and had him send the electrician back. Supposedly, fixing that part of the problem.

When we tried actually using the outlet the next day, it was 'dead'. Another visit by the (now angry) supervisor), with no resolution from it. The only outcome was the supervisor saying very angrily that our house was the problem and not his worker's job.

My wife pointed out where the problem may come from (short answer – they tapped into the wrong wire … the middle of a three-way circuit), but John the supervisor completely ignored her. He does NOT like being told his work is wrong. Same results from talking to Jim the owner. “You're not an electrician! You don't know what you're talking about!” and interrupting us, the customers, constantly. Half hour conversation with him got absolutely nowhere. (Note: We have installed a dozen programmable thermostats in the house, replaced countless outlets and switches, rewired antique light fixtures, moved high voltage heaters...all by ourselves. We know some things about moving electrons around!)

I could go on for 15 more pages (that's how much I wrote for my own records)! But, too many details to be interesting for a review.

So, bottom line - $600 for a non-working outlet, and being talked down to almost every step of the way. Zero customer service, 100% customer DISservice.

Eylander Electric was the only local place I could find with the expertise and willingness to work on our old oil furnace with a gas conversion unit. I'd tried to source a replacement gas valve online with no luck. They were able to find a replacement part and installed it in a timely manner at a fair price. Everyone I dealt with at Eylander was helpful and polite.

My gas furnace stopped heating this morning and i determined it was a faulty ignitor. Searched high and low for a local shop with a replacement part and wound up here. They didn't have one of the ones I needed in stock, but they went out of their way to source one locally and get it to me within 30 minutes. Thank you!

I will definitely use Eylander electric again. They were fantastic! They were able to come out quickly and we're very professional kind and courteous.

Eylander installed a new furnace, which included a drain to the outside of the house. That pipe was left short, draining under our house. We extended the pipe out of the house through the hole they tried to place the pipe, but it didn't flow down which caused water to backup and rust our the secondary heat pump. When we saw water coming our of our furnace not only did they not diagnose the problem correctly, they didn't show up on the day scheduled for the repair.
They are incompetent not only at their work, the communication is horrible. I would run away from the company as fast as you can.
