As usual, excellent service. Nate explained what was needed to solve various problems and issues. I was then able to make good decisions that would work best for me. Good communication was provided throughout the job. All the staff were very pleasant and easy to interact with.Ive used Shocking Difference before for smaller jobs and this big job was done with the same precision, skill, and pleasant staff. Plus the cost seems reasonable....which is always welcome.Thank you! -

Wow. These folks are great. They arrived in their time window, listened and looked. After going over the trip few and the immediate costs, which we gave the thumbs up, they evaluated our electrical problem and performed an 11 point inspection. Once completed they politely and professionally went over our electrical in detail (broken up into inside, outside, areas etc) and how our house rated. We were happy it wasn’t all F’s. The D’s were not a shock. They very politely went over the costs for different levels or repairs so we could choose what fit our needs and budget. We went with repairs and replacement that we needed and had originally called for. We also elected to have our breaker box updated and brought up to code. All choices were up to us. Once started they kept us in the loop and what all repairs (new wiring, replacement plugs and a new breaker and main switch- old 1979 box did not have this). Once the permits are cleared they will return and place the new box. We were extremely pleased with the service, professionalism and friendliness of our service electricians. Loved how we were kept in the loop every step of the way and how careful they were with our home, cleaning up behind themselves and being cognizant of how their work looked after completion. Extremely knowledgeable in their jobs which they obviously loved. 10/10 will hire them again for future wiring needed when we update our Master bath. See photo of electrician keeping me updated. -

Jared made two visits. Both visits were on time, prompt, courteous and professional. The first visit he gave us an inspection and a bid for the work we requested, which was reasonable. He offered to start right away. He was happy to reschedule and let us pick and choose the repairs we wanted from his bid the previous week. In and out quickly, quietly, and cleanly. Well done. Highly recommended. -

Zeb and Mo came to my house last week to do some electrical repairs. This was the first time I had used Shocking Difference and I was glad I did! I was referred to them by a friend who had had a good experience with the company, too.Zeb and Mo were very pleasant and professional - the job was done in no time at all - they even stayed longer to answer some questions and write up an estimate on the spot for some other work Im hoping to have done.I appreciated their speediness in problem-solving and repair - they definitely have the knowledge and expertise to determine why something wasnt working and then fix it quickly.Theyll be coming back in a few weeks to tackle my other electrical projects! -

Tyler was great! On time, great research, fair price. Really impressed.Building on the initial review, Tyler and his team spent 9.5hrs today on installing the electrician work for my hot tub.The professionalism, detailed work, dedication, and customer service were amazing.I recommend Shocking-difference for all of your electrician needs and I will be using them in the future. Highly impressed. -

Zeb did a great job performing a site visit and formulating solutions for a residential emergency generator system for my home. He added up loads, assessed the existing electrical system, and evaluated siting and other needs for the proposed system. He also provided reasonable pricing for his solutions at the conclusion of his site visit. Zeb’s performance, solutions, and pricing bespeak of an electrical specialist and a contracting company ready to do the best work possible. -

Jacob and Yaser (forgive me if I spelled the name wrong) were helping us with the project.We needed to replace a large chandelier in the area where the ceiling was very high. We also needed to fix a 3 way switch that didnt work.It was a visit to access the work that needed to be done and we didnt expect it to be taken care of right then, so we were very happy to find out that everything could be done right away!The guys did a fantastic job and were a pleasure to work with.Looking forward to having this team back for other pending projects.Thank you! -

Jared and Mo from Shocking Difference did a great job. They arrived when they said they would and gave a heads up that they were on their way.I was stumped trying to replace a 48 fluorescent fixture in our kitchen. Jared explained what the charges would be in advance, depending on the complexity of the job. And Mo did a complete safety check of our home. The safety checklist is done as a gratuity in all their jobs. If they find a safety issue, Shocking Difference will give you a quote for fixing it. I was very happy with their work. -

Great and fast service! They were able to replace the baseboard heaters in my upstairs TV room within a couple days after I called. The work was done professionally. This is the second job Shocking Difference has done at my house. I cant recommend them enough. -

Shawn and Mo arrived soon after the anticipated time, were neat, courteous and knowledgeable. They spent 2 1/2 hours assessing the task of installing an outdoor lamp/post and performing an extensive evaluation of our home electrical system. I’m very impressed and plan to go ahead with part of what they listed. There was no high pressure to buy, just solid evidence on why I should do some of the things they listed. Thank you, Sean and Mo! It was a pleasure to meet you. -

Jacob at Shocking Difference earned every one of their 5 stars in this review. They are polite, respectful, patient, understanding, flexible, and worked to find a solution to our unique situation. Sometimes when you read reviews of a business that feel almost too good to be true, it can feel suspicious, but SD delivered beyond my expectations, despite me having a mild scheduling mishap earlier in the day. I wont look anywhere else for work in the future. -

AMAZING! I love this locally owned company. They are professional, efficient, friendly, organized and very competent at what they do. My Tesla charger stopped working and it was over a year since they put in the electrical system so I figured it was out of warranty. Much to my surprise when I called them I found out that I was still in warranty! They have an extremely generous warranty on their work which is 3 years for regular customers and 5 years if you are a club member. The owners are good people who hire good people. They might be more expensive than other companies, but they are worth the extra cost. I would not use anyone else for my electrical work.Thank you! -

Shocking Difference has been providing electrical upgrades to our home since 1996. Most recently, Tyler Dancer and Yasser Dunn were part of the team that rewired our detached garage. We have always appreciated the advise, expertise and service we have received from the folks at Shocking Difference. This time was no different. The new garage wiring looks great. Even the inspector from the City of Olympia was impressed and complemented the work Tyler and Yasser did. -

Nate and Parone were awesome, very efficient and courteous in my home. They installed a new bathroom fan and ceiling fan/light, as well as fixed an incorrectly wired light in the kitchen. I also appreciate Shocking Difference’s flexibility in scheduling around shipping delay/my work schedule. Thank you! -

I ordered the Ring Doorbell Camera for my front door, and the Ring Security Camera with Light for above my garage, from Amazon. I’m clueless when it comes to installing electronic devices. So, I searched Google and Yelp for local electricians.I read about Shocking Difference’s history: they’ve been serving South Puget Sound communities since 2006. Their electricians are licensed and they attend continuing education classes. They warrant their work three years on labor. They also do an overall inspection of electrical circuitry throughout your home.I called and inquired for an appointment on a Monday. Brent answered my call and asked if I’d be available the next day. I said yes. My appointment was set at 11 AM - 1 PM Tuesday. Tuesday morning, I received a text message from SD, asking if I’d be available at 8 AM. Journeyman electrician, Jacob Johnson arrived shortly. Jacob was friendly and eager to complete the task! I informed Jacob what I wanted to be done. Jacob went into the attic to see the electrical wiring. He then worked on an estimate. Given the amount of work required to complete the tasks, I was given what I felt was a fair estimate. Jacob called for another electrician to assist him. Apprentice electrician Jordan (I don’t know his last name) arrived, and they started to install the doorbell camera at the front door, and the security camera above the garage. The job took just under four hours. Both Jacob and Jordan helped me with the Ring Application on my iPhone. They took their time and I never felt rushed.Brent was very pleasant when he took my call for the appointment. Both Jacob and Jordan are very skilled electricians and I am very pleased with their work product. I highly recommend Shocking Difference electrical contractor!Ernie GinesLacey, Washington state -

Arrived when promised, worked hard all day to install a new service box and grounding system, clearly communicated with me and kept me informed as they encountered some unexpected issues such as dry rot behind the old panel and an unacceptable section of conduit that needed to be replaced, and let me know what to expect with regards to the state inspection. I would certainly hire them again. -

Really is a Shocking Difference. Called to have a stage 2 EV plug installed. Prompt service, and very professional. Zeb did a great job explaining to me what they were doing and what was required to fullfil my request. They did a great job cleaning up everything and making sure I was happy with the service before they left. -

Jared and Tyler were professional, knowledgeable, and personable. They did a thorough job and explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. I also appreciated learning when I scheduled the appointment that all the company electricians are background checked plus a photo of the electrician was texted to me so I knew who to expect at my door. As a single woman who live alone, this was great customer service. I highly recommend this company. -

Both Jerod (spelling?) and Tyler were a delight to have in my house. They were both very kind, patient, respectful, helpful, and they sure know a lot about electrics.They are both very nice people, and are very thorough.Also, they explained everything very well, and answered all of my questions, and never once tried to hurry me. I appreciate both of them!A lot regarding electrics is usually over my head, but I learned a lot today from both of them. Felt like I was in college taking Electrics 101, and its a fun class.They both did a great job, and it is nice to once again be able to watch TV (because the outlet was repaired), have that light on in the kitchen, and the one outside.Thanks so much, guys! -

Review 34 (2024-03-27 - Rating: 4)
A very positive experience with Shocking Difference this morning to address a concern I had about whether I had a failing circuit or electrical line. The technicians were very professional and explained everything very clearly. They did an inspection of my breaker box, checked a number of outlets and gave me recommendations on what updates I may want to do, and maintenance tips for my electrical system. Kudos to the crew that came out!The only reason that this review is not a 5 star review is that the pricing was really opaque. I asked about call-out charge, and was told it was $69. Thats fine. But on arrival, I was told that the work would be either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 depending on time and effort. I ended up with a Level 1 service, and that was a flat $387 charge. This pricing structure was not explained in my call to make the appointment, and I believe it should have been explained at the point that I asked about how much the initial charge would be.Other than that, I was very satisfied. I just think more transparency about the pricing bands should be shared. -

Shocking Difference electrical service is extraordinary! We scheduled an upgrade of a 40 Amp range circuit to a 50 Amp circuit. We scheduled ~ 5 weeks in advance and were really pleased to get a service date that suited us perfectly. The front end, administrative, scheduling staff used email and text msg to to keep us informed. Replacing an existing circuit is not such an easy task when working in a tight attic / roof line. The circuit upgrade of removing type 8 wire and pulling type 6 wire was done by Zeb and Roderick; every phase of the work was completed in stellar fashion! Both are totally professional, highly personable, and rightly fully confident in the work they do! We came away feeling we received nothing less than premium service; the cost was reasonably respectful for the excellent level of work. -

They are very prompt, professional, and friendly. They were out and had the work we needed done within 2 days of our call. The prices were higher than we expected, but they did do a thorough inspection of our entire electrical system. Apparently, they do that as part of their service call fee. We will likely use them again. -

Zeb and the crew at Shocking Difference were amazing from the start. They helped me plan and determine my lighting needs and provided a complete cost breakdown by room so I could choose which elements of the project to action on. When they arrived to do the work I was surprised by the crews demeanor. Not only was everyone professional, they were positive and had great energy amongst each other. You can tell the employees love to work for this company! I had a last minute hard stop at 4pm and was surprised that Zeb was able to summon additional crew members to get it all done in one day! I appreciate the communication from start to finish with text updates and reminders. The whole experience was stress free and my lighting looks amazing! -

Had an exterior outlet installed and the electrician, Ethan, ended up checking out another issue I was having in my garage. Within 5 minutes he figured out the issue and provided a solution. This is after a previous company failed find the problem.Ethan was amazing and went out of his way to check out the garage issue even though that was not job he was there for. I have had 3 different electricians out to for various things and he was by far the best.The company is upfront with their prices and are very fair/affordable. It nearly cost me the same to have Ethan find and fix my garage issue as it did to have the previous company to come out and fail to find the issue. I am very happy with the service and will be using Shocking Difference going forward as well as recommending them to family and friends. -

Shocking Difference has become our go-to contractor for all things electrical. Their thoughtful analysis and high-quality work always makes a positive difference in our home. In our most recent project today, Tyler, Yasser, and Darrell replaced the old knob and tube wiring in our living room ceiling, and replaced the old, failed light fixture with a new one in our 91-year-old home. Several years ago, Shocking Difference did all of the electrical work in our full upstairs remodel. Since then, we always call this excellent company for all of our electrical needs. -

My electric service panel was “fried” after a power outage & power being restored. Shocking Difference was extremely responsive & all employees were professional, patient & concerned about my issues. They stayed on task getting a whole new power service panel installed, labeled & all switches & outlets checked out to insure they were all working properly. I highly recommend Shocking Difference for all electrical needs. -

We needed a ceiling light installed and set up an appointment for 10 days but we’re put on a waiting list. About three hours later we were told Zeb was on the way. We have dealt with Zeb and Shocking Difference before and have been very happy with their service. Zeb informed us on what he was doing thru the multiple steps and at the end made sure it met our satisfaction. We will see them again for our future needs. Thank you -

Zeb and Yasser arrived on time and were friendly, diligent, and professional throughout the appointment. They troubleshooted the areas of concern and performed a home safety evaluation that put my mind at ease. They also made recommendations, answered my questions, and priced out a number of options related to future projects. Thanks to Zebs and Yassers performance and professionalism today, I plan to work with Shocking Difference on those future projects.

Zeb and Mo came and did an outlet and circuit install in our shop. They were able to fit me in sooner than the scheduled date and communicated through the entire process. When they arrived, Zeb and Mo listened to some of the needs we had, even though some of the work would be performed at a later date. They provided an estimate that broke down the different costs and was able to perform the job the same day. Once finished I had some issues with payment due to account activity and they were very accommodating. We will be in contact in the near future for our additional needs. Thank you guys! -

Tyler and Mo did an amazing job replacing a fan and switch for us! Upfront and clear with prices that are way more reasonable than the national chain we have had in here before. Such a breath of fresh air while dealing with the stress of trying to get our condo ready to sell. It was easy to call and make an appointment and they didnt hesitate to let us know when they were available earlier than previously planned.

Ethan and Justice were professional, friendly and took care of the problem fast and efficiently for a reasonable and fair price. Another company quoted us 5 times as much to fix it without ever identifying what the actual problem was.Both also took the time to answer all of my teenagers questions about how to become an electrician🙂We signed up for their membership program on the spot because we just bought a house built in the 80’s and are not ever going to use another electrical company!!Thumbs up for Shocking Difference LLC!!!! 👍 -

They came out for a bid on a large project for my house. I need overhead lighting installed in most rooms. I am very impressed with the communication and professionalism. I received both email and text confirmation after scheduling an appointment. The electricians arrived right on time. They listened to all our wants and even helped us brainstorm some areas we were undecided on. Their input was very helpful and informative. They were very respectful throughout the whole process. They were able to provide an itemized estimate before leaving (which was amazing. Ive worked with other electricians where it can take days for an estimate and it was not itemized) and they talked us through the estimate in person. I love that they start the estimate with worst-case scenario prices, and if the job ends up being less challenging, the final price will be reduced. That is so helpful for planning a budget. Their prices are very reasonable as well! -

Had some electrical issues with some of the wiring in the home I just moved into. Gave them a call for a servicing and ended up finding that being a subscriber to their service might be the best option. Since then, called multiple times to get things done and while I do have other projects coming up, I thoroughly enjoy the passive perks of their service. Might be for some people, might not, but definitely in my case, worth every dime. Card is available on site and are willing to accept new inquiries when they arise which is cool. -

Zeb and his partner arrived and took stock of a complicated series of issues with our external panel. They spent a few hours troubleshooting before resolving the problem with the plug, replacing the cover plate, and repairing the cord head as well. I was really pleased by their approach - they took the time to explain what some of the issues were and talk us through them. Im excited to have a functional plug and panel again - thank you so much!Update: We asked them a few weeks later to come take a look at one more thing, and they were able to come out and assist us. Fixed the issue within a few minutes, super polite and friendly. Really appreciate these guys! -

We just had a power pole for our mobile homes electric meter replaced by Shocking Difference. Im so glad I discovered them and went with their bid. The pole next to our house was rotten, and I had been frustrated trying to figure out a company who could replace it. I finally decided that because electricians have to be involved, maybe they already expertise to take care of the pole, or knew contacts who could. Shocking Difference had good reviews and good recognition from the community for their performance so I gave them a call. The response to my request was quick. Zeb came out and gave us a bid. He was both friendly and knowledgable and able to give us a quote on the spot. He said that they were very familiar with the work needed and would be able to take care of it. The price was much higher than I anticipated, but that was because our electrical service was about 50 years old, and had to be brought up to current code if it was going to pass inspection. So it wasnt just changing out an old pole and putting the meter and service wires back.Shocking Difference was able to schedule the work quickly. They coordinated the work with a heavy equipment company and Puget Sound Energy, and got the permits. The work took a whole day, but they got it done and did it well. Zeb and Yasir were great. They worked hard, but also were very friendly and fun to be around.I would highly recommend that you check out this company if you need some electrical work done.Thank you Zeb and Yasir as well as everyone at Shocking Difference, for making a difficult job go so well. -

My wife and I recently purchased a portable generator for our home. We wanted more detailed information and decided to use Shocking Difference LLC for the installation and use/training of the Firman 10,000 watt portable generator. Shocking Difference electrician Ethan Dobbs evaluated our home’s power needs (in the event of a blackout), researched the various brands/models, and gave us an estimate for the installation. He answered all of our questions and he (along with his apprentice, Yussir) modified our electrical fuse panel, installed an outdoor cable plug for the generator, and showed us how to attach the cable to the generator and suggested we use propane gas as the fuel.Our generator will arrive on October 30th, and Ethan will show us how to operate, fuel, and connect the generator to our panel. I look forward to this “test run” and I am sure to have questions for Ethan.We are well pleased with the quality of work and after installation service and support we received from Ethan and Shocking Difference LLC and will use them for all of our future electrical needs.Highly Recommended! -

I found Shocking Difference through Angies List and called them about updating kitchen lighting. From the first meeting until the end of the project, I was very impressed with not only the knowledge and experience this company has to offer but also the great customer service I received. They spent time with me helping me decide how to upgrade the lights and how it would look. Their price was fair and they gave me a discount for Angies List. The work was completed quicker than I thought which was also first class. They did a terrific job and cleaned up the area. I would never have known work was even done, until turning on the lights! I LOVE my new lights!! Thank you Shocking Difference! I will definitely be using them in the future for additional updates. -

We were ready to panic when we learned that our 93-year-old house still had much of its original knob-and-tube wiring, along with newer wiring from a few different decades. We didnt know any local electricians and were afraid the process of having the entire house rewired would be a costly ordeal that would take weeks. But from the moment Darrell from Shocking Difference stopped by to give us a bid, we began to relax. He obviously knew his trade and gave us options we didnt know we had. We ended up vacating the house for only four days, then moving back in when everything was finished. Darrell made sure we were thrilled with the job, stopping by twice afterward to check that there were no issues whatsoever. Throughout the process, Shocking Difference treated us like real people, and we cant thank Darrell and his crew enough for doing a quick, perfect job at a reasonable price. Shocking Difference gets the absolute highest recommendation we can possibly give. -

I had a pretty large project (kitchen remodel, moving outlets and light switches, rewiring an island, under cabinet lighting, wiring and installing a fan in a bedroom, and several other repairs) towards the end of the day two other employees showed up to help finish the project and 15 minutes later two more employees came to help finish things up! Darrell informed me that when a project gets finished at another job site the guys come to help anyone else that is still working on a job site. They made quick work of my project, and everyone was very kind and respectful of my home and they were very tidy with their work. Im very happy with the quality of work that Shocking Difference did for me. If I ever need an electrician again I will be using Shocking Difference.

I also wanted my garage door added to the generator. This could not be done due to the adjacent shop & too much amperage needed.

Were so glad we discovered them and well continue to use their services and recommend them to all our family and friends.Some of our surge protectors were going off and they came right out. It is hard to find service like this.These people need to use their business model and open a pluming business. They are the best. -

Zeb and Rick did an excellent job installing our new breaker panel. They arrived at the scheduled time and explained the installation process. They completed the work on time and in a professional manner neatly resolving a couple of unexpected issues along the way. We were very pleased with the quality of their work. They finished up by providing us with a complete walkthrough of the new system answering all our questions along the way. We are planning a kitchen remodel later this summer. We will definitely ask Shocking Difference to handle the electrical and lighting changes. -

We had Zeb out for a different project this time (wiring our home for a generator). Just like the first time, he was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and clear with pricing. They will be returning to complete the work on a later date. Zeb and Shocking Difference have gained our trust and we will definitely be using this company for future electrical needs. -

Adam provided an excellent job in assesing the project and then explaining our options. Adam was very considerate, listened well and was easy to talk to. Really nice guy. Both him and Pete arrived on time. Thank you for wearing your shoe covers each time you stepped in our house. We appreciate that a lot. Top notch service. -

Shocking Difference, yes it was! I would recommend Shawn & Manny of Shocking Difference to anyone needing a professional team to do electrical work for you. They were responsive to my families needs. The inspection they completed showed the electrical issues/needs within my home. They were able to provide upfront pricing, no surprises, without having to call the office. Conducted themselves with the utmost of professionalism. Need an electrician, call Shocking Difference. -

Shawn and his fantastic assistants from Shocking Difference rewired our entire house, adding outlets, fans, moving and upgrading the panel, and so much more. They were always careful about wearing masks, keeping physically distanced, and cleaning up after their work. They provided solid advice and were responsive to changes as we encountered new problems or changed our minds on something. We are SO happy with everything they did!! -
Review 161 (2022-07-06 - Rating: 5)
The electricians were both professional and friendly. After the embarrassingly simple fix (resetting an arc tripped outlet) they explained the reasoning behind my issue and the issues that the 1930’s knob and tube wiring would continue to present. The needed changes to bring my house up to code were discussed and pricing. They took the time to make sure I understood everything. The information I received was more than worth the charged fee. I will definitely use Shocking Difference in the future. -

I couldnt be happier with the service I received from Shocking Difference!They came out to my home even though I am quite a ways away and outside of their normal service area.Prior to the visit, Winona had me take pictures of the installation area and worked extensively with me so that we both knew exactly what we were going to do during the visit, and so they could provide an accurate estimate before even seeing the site.Shawn and Adam were extremely efficient, friendly and helpful. They helped me with a couple of issues unrelated to the main job, and finished everything in a professional, clean manner. It looks great! -

I have used the Shocking Difference crew as my electricians for several years. They have the best customer service and professionalism that I have ever experienced. Their work is excellent. They recently replaced my electric panel, which was a big job in my older home, and all their work passed inspection without a question. From small jobs to large, they do great work. I highly recommend Shocking Difference. -

I have to say that this was hands down, the absolute best experience we have ever had with a professional service company in Olympia. The electrician, Zeb, was on time and friendly. He listened to us and walked us through every thing he was doing. He was upfront about pricing and helped us prioritize the work that needed to be done as well as giving us an in depth look in to improvements we could make to our electrical system in the future. We recently purchased a 110 year old home, and while the system had been upgraded in the 80s, there were still some kooky things going on we needed insight into. As a diehard DIY person, i am always trying to troubleshoot these issues myself, but its electricity, kinda scary stuff. The electrician understood that I wanted to learn more about how our new home works and explained everything thoroughly without hesitation. The problems we were facing ended up having relatively easy solutions and the costs were beyond reasonable. He fixed things quickly and also gave a lot of insight as to how our future projects could be done with little modification to our current system. I feel so much better about moving forward with the restoration of our new old house. I cannot say enough about how respectful, knowledgeable and patient this gentleman was. Thank you for being such an efficient, reasonable company to work with and thank you for being able to get to us so quickly. I absolutely recommend this service provider to anyone who values a fair price from an honest company. -

Extremely happy with the level of service we received today. Shawn and Jared were very knowledgeable and professional. Answered all my questions before they began and went above and beyond. This job wasnt easy, but they came up with a great way to conquer it and made it happen. So glad I called them. Worth every penny spent.I already have plans to use them again and would highly recommend them to any of my clients that need electrical work done. -

100% top notch customer service. Throughout the entire process Shocking Difference proved to be worth every penny. We had our electrical panel replaced by Zeb and Anthony. They thoroughly explained every step of the process, showed up in the allotted time frames, and were a blast to talk with. I appreciate the texts and calls from the office with reminders, it really helps when youre dealing with multiple contractors with a new home. Thank you very much for being a part of our new journey and whenever we have electrical issues we will absolutely give a call. -

Adam came by and was great. He and Quintin arrived early in our scheduled block. He went over what I had scheduled the appointment for and asked what the priorities were. The scheduled work was completed and additional desired work was discussed and estimated before they left. They were respectful, tidy, and took care to acknowledge my priorities while addressing safety. -

Joe did a great job. The wiring of this house is a real mess. He stuck with it, answered questions thoroughly, and was very pleasant. Anthony is smart and capable. Darrell is charming and very knowledgeable. The garage was cleaner when they left then when they got here. I will recommend Shocking Difference gladly. -

Had a great experience.

Adam came out and did wonderful work on my older home. Pleasant and professional to have around, and they were here for about 2 days, taking time to explain everything they were doing, and even teaching me a few things so I could get them done myself. I would say the pricing is very transparent but also pretty high, but for me, knowing everything was done correctly was well worth it. I will sleep better knowing these guys did everything perfectly for me. -

Fantastic experience from the very start. I had never used them before. Darrell responded to a request for a bid to change out my residential service panel. He evaluated the situation and mentioned some options and alternatives. Sent his quote be e-mail within a week and was able to do the job within 2 1/2 weeks. Tom and mike were very knowledgeable and kept the place clean with their little booties, cleaned up when they were done. Winona has been great on the scheduling and on the phone, price was very reasonable and overall the experience was great. They will be the ones I call whenever I need anything electrical done. I would highly recommend Shocking Difference to any and all friends and relatives. -

My family recently moved into a home in the area. The previous owner fancied himself a DIY aficionado. He was not. Wiring was not done properly or safely, and there was limited redundant safety measures. Shawn, Ethan, and their tech (or maybe apprentice) were here on time, worked with me to make sure I understood the job, and what it entailed. Overall fantastic work. They completed a big chunk of the work that needed to be done in a matter of a couple hours. Not that the time matters for the cost because they don’t charge hourly. Overall I am more than happy with the result. I ended up signing up with their preferred client program which offers things like same day service, emergency calls, etc. The team they have is providing quality service in an area where that can hard to come by at times. Worth every penny.Last note for the company. The training the tech was receiving during the call also instilled confidence in your service. No ego. No frustration. They definitely showed that you want your employees to be on point and to ASK if they don’t know. -

Adam and his associate were extremely competent. They explained the situation with my smoke alarms, explained what my options were, gave me the figures for the job, and in no time the job was completed. And I was given a senior discount AND another discount for paying with a check. Both gentlemen were very friendly yet business-like. Id use Shocking Difference if I get another electrical problem. -

The electricians at Shocking Difference (Joe Frazier and his assistant) were professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. We had some these cant wait electrical issues in our recently purchased fixer and the problems were diagnosed and fixed in short order. With the explanations we received on some of the less pressing issues - we now have the foundation for formulating a plan of attack.Good people, good experience - highly recommend!
