As You Wish Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air

We installed a small wine cellar during a remodel of our 1927 Tudor Home in 2015. The Seattle wine cellar company, which helped us design and install the wine cellar, outsourced their installations, and their work was not good. Five total code violations! Paco originally came out and diagnosed the issues and had to come back in order to actually resolve them. When he returned, he brought Vernon with him. They were great! Courteous, very focused on doing the job the right way, respectful of our home and thorough. I sincerely appreciate their professionalism and expertise. Highly recommend As You Wish Electric, as this is the third time I have had a need for their services and they have been excellent for us.

These guys saved us from a potentially dangerous situation involving an improperly wired dryer outlet. From the scheduler, Madison, to their technicians, they are professional, helpful, skilled and reasonably priced -- not to mention incredibly nice. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

As You Wish gave me an estimate to do some work late last year. The estimate was fair and they were not pushy about it at all. Unfortunately for me, I went with a different company because they were able to do some other work as well. Huge mistake to not go with As You Wish. I ended up having to go back to As You Wish to have them clean up the mess that the other contractor left me in - over ten long months of battling with them. Aaron who was the person who gave me the original estimate came back out and never made me feel bad that I hadn't gone with them originally. They were able to get me into their schedule relatively quickly for a larger job, and managed to fix the work from the first contractor (which failed Seattle City inspection) to pass inspection and were enjoyable to have around as well. I had interactions from the owner to the schedulers and everyone was kind, friendly, and professional.

We have an older (1948) home and had several small projects from installing an EV charging station to replacing an electrical panel. From the person who estimated our projects to the electricians who did the installation, As You Wish was professional and great to work with. They came in slightly under bid and when they accidentally blew out an old electric baseboard heater, they replaced it with a brand new one for free. Without hesitation. We will definitely use them again for phase II of our upgrade.

Bernie and Chris arrived on schedule. They were friendly, professional and polite. Added a new 20A circuit with breaker, 30' from breaker box to outdoor outlet. Drilled minimal holes in drywall to feed cable.

Cleaned up drywall debris.

Excellent work.

Oh, how I regret the day I called As You Wish. Calling As You Wish has turned out to be an 11 THOUSAND DOLLAR MISTAKE. It seemed like a simple job. Move a light switch, and install 2 new outlets. Nothing complicated. My partner, who knows enough about electrical engineering to know not to DIY, was here the whole time. He says that the journeyman let the apprentice do it, and he could hear the journeyman getting upset at the apprentice for doing things wrong the entire time. I got home that day, and, while I had 2 shiny, new, working outlets, SUDDENLY *the lights in my office and the master bedroom didn't work.*
We did the reasonable thing, and called As You Wish and asked them to come back out and fix it. Surely it was just a loose connection that could be easily fixed, right? Well...the journeyman came back out and didn't even bother to go into the bathroom or check the work, he just tried to sell us on replacing the entire panel, and rewiring everything. ""Why don't you hire us to do that?"" We turned down that oh-so-enticing offer. (SCAM ANYONE?)
We called back As You Wish again. We again asked them to send someone competent to fix what they broke. They sent back a master electrician that, sure enough, found that loose wire in the new bathroom outlet and fixed it. Hooray! working lights! Right?
Not exactly. We have now discovered that whenever we turn on the lights on the stairs, it trips the breaker. This shuts off the lights in the kitchen, family room, and downstairs bedrooms. THEY'RE NOT EVEN ALL ON THE SAME DAMN CIRCUIT. So my OH goes out to the panel, and lo! They have installed a new circuit with a new breaker. Surprise! None of this ham fisted installation is going to pass inspection. I suspect that they know this, which is why they haven't scheduled an inspection yet, like they are supposed to do.
We actually had a different company come out to get a quote on *fixing the damage that As You Wish did*, because I trust them as far as I can throw them at this point, and it's going to be at least 11K. Yup. 11 THOUSAND DOLLAR MISTAKE.
SO. NOT. HAPPY.
Do yourself a favor and learn from my example. HIRE SOMEONE ELSE.

Rude and unprofessional. Changed the person showing up to the Point where two technicians ended up showing up at the same time. Was extremely rude to my 66 year old mother. TheTruck broke down in front of her house.
Then charged her $800 for changing a few outlets. Ridiculous. Don't waste your time
**this is and update**
The manager contacted us, to apologize. And are going to b having a discussion with their rude employee. And refunded $200. This doesn't change anything that happened. But it did make me feel a little better about the whole situation.

Have had them come out twice to work for our house and both experiences were good. Found them through Greenwood Heating and Air-conditioning which replaced an old heat pump for us as well.

First project was an assortment of jobs to replace kitchen track lighting fixture with can lights, move some outlets, run a new circuit for a new electric range to meet updated code, change some bedroom lights out and replace a bathroom fan/light. Everyone was on time and the work took about 1.5 days total. Our 1940s Seattle house is full of surprises and they had to go out and get a new drill bit to cut the can lights through our plaster over sheetrock ceilings, but ended up cutting nice clean holes. The LED fixtures they put in the cans buzzed (apparently LEDs off do not play well with dimmers), but they agreed to come back the next day and swapped out the LEDs with a different model that work fine with no buzz. We had to call and point out the issue to the technician, since you could only hear the buzz when the house was pretty quite, and I got nervous we'd have to get into a big fight to get it fixed since the buzzing wasn't like horribly loud, but thankfully there was no real fuss required by us, they just made it right.

Second project was to move the wire for the range hood when we got around to replacing that (didn't realize it was wired on the wrong side on our 1960s old fan when we had them out the first time, our bad - note range fans are ALL wired on the right side now). Probably not always the case, but they were able to come out the next day and do the work. Again, they showed up on time and did the work in a quick and clean manner.

Have been working with a lot of contractors as we update our house and they've been far and away one of the best to work with.

-Had a new panel put in, ran several new outlets, and had some PITA knob and tube replaced.
-The customer service from the office was excellent. Handy reminders sent out each day.
-Ernie and Ty were always there on time, were very conscientious and listened to what I wanted/needed and got it done.
-I wish I could manage my own life half as smoothly as this business is run.
A++++

I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in AS YOU WISH ELECTRIC. On November 26, 2018 two people arrived to add a new circuit to my electric panel and add a single outdoor plug near my new outdoor tankless water heater. It took over 6 weeks from the time I scheduled to get the appointment. Then, when they came they arrived a couple of hours late and it was very late in the day. It was raining like crazy that day. They cut about 8 extra holes in my laundry room wall, left a HUGE mess all over the laundry room floor with drywall pieces and electric wires and simple garbage all over the place. But that wasn't even the worst part. It was raining hard and they went in and out of my house through my back sliding glass door and tracked in a lot of water onto my hardwood floor. When they came in the front door they were very concerned and put on shoe covers, so I assumed that they were being similarly concerned while working in the back of the house. When I went out there I was SHOCKED at the amount of standing water on my hardwood floor, over 1/2 inch at the door and decreased in a path to the laundry room. The floor has been stained and is slightly buckled. At the time that I made the appointment, I asked about a permit and was told that none would be required, now, 6 months later I have been contacted by the company to set an appointment for the permit inspector to come out in order to close the permit. WHAT? 6 months later? So, I just looked it up and they did pull the permit with L&I, but AS YOU WISH did not request the inspection until 5 months after the install. I think that the company acts very irresponsibly.
