About · Yakima Valley, WA
A tight-knit Yakima electrical crew, licensed since 2017.
Residential, commercial and 24/7 emergency electrical work, done by people who live and work in the same valley as the customers they serve.
The story
A home-town shop with a long record on paper.
Bigfoot Electric describes itself as “a tight-knit group of employees that take pride in providing the best electrical solutions and service here in our home town.”
The crew puts its experience at “an accumulation of 25 years’ experience,” and says its aim is to earn your satisfaction with integrity and the ability to deliver “a clean, safe upgrade or repair.” Between them the crew covers commercial, residential and emergency work.
Washington L&I has licensed the company since November 2017, and you can look both licence numbers up on the state register yourself.

How a job goes
From the first call to the inspector’s sign-off.
01
You call the office or send the form
Phone the office, or describe the project or repair in the contact form. The form gets a reply, usually the next business day, to answer your questions or schedule your appointment.
02
We look at the current state of your system
Before anything gets recommended, an electrician looks at what is actually there: the panel, the wiring behind it and the load it carries.
03
We recommend the proper changes and quote in writing
You get the changes we think are needed, and the quote in writing. Estimates are non-binding until confirmed in a written agreement, so nothing starts on a guess.
04
The work is done to code and inspected
The job is built to meet code, and the inspector confirms it. You end up with a clean, safe upgrade or repair, not a patch.
From a customer
A flagged panel, fixed in a long day.
“In a long days work, Cesilio and Juan, headed up by Brian completely upgraded the panel. They even addressed all the odd wiring throughout the room.”

Meet the crew, or tell us what is going on with your panel, your wiring or your build. The office takes calls Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, at 509-388-4745, and 24/7 for emergencies.
