Outlets & Switches
Report
Switches are used to turn the power on and off. Outlets, or electric receptacles, are usually mounted on a wall or floor to supply electricity through a cord and plug to appliances, lamps, TV, etc. These are the key points in our electrical systems that give us our first line of control to our electrical use, and they are critical connection points.
Interior Lighting
Report
Lighting is one of the best ways to add interest and drama to a room. It can also highlight, define and contribute to the ambiance of a space. We have found that one of the most efficient ways to update a home or room is by adding or changing the lighting. We can help you with any of your interior lighting needs.
Outside & Security Lighting
Report
Outdoor lighting will provide security for your home or office. Whether you are looking to showcase your home, highlight focal points, or secure your home with motion detector and dusk to dawn lighting. We provide and install it all.
Power Outages

I've checked the circuit breakers and I have no clue what's wrong. And that's ok. because you're not a professional electrician. But we are electrical experts with over 30 years of electrical trouble-shooting experience on staff. We know where to look for the cause of your problem and how to solve it.
Breaker Panels
Report
Located inside or outside of your home is a circuit breaker panel (sometimes called a fuse box) that contains circuit breakers for each of the circuits in your home. Some homes have more than one circuit breaker panel, there may be a main panel plus one or more sub panels in other locations.

Jeff C! You're a rockstar you and your what I assume is an apprentice, but carried himself extremely well, worked quickly and efficiently to fix the lighting at my assisted living facility! Not only did he fix everything we asked for, he also kept tabs on the things we needed to fix to stay up to code! Same day electric was a great choice! Oh and they live up to the name! Quick appointments, and even got my bids the same day! Thank you guys!

The low rating is solely for the price we were charged for our electrical service. The techs who came out to do the work were very professional, worked quickly, and overall did a great job. We called Same Day Electric around 8 am and explained the issue we were having (electricity was out in one bedroom and the main hall of our house). We were informed on the phone that they would give us a price for how much it would cost when they got here.

The technicians showed up quickly at 9 am and informed us after looking at our electrical panel that it would be $250 for them to do the inspection to figure out the issue and do the fix. I wish they would have told us this price over the phone instead of waiting until the technicians were already out here before giving the price. It is much harder to send people away who are already at your home than to tell someone over the phone that you're going to keep looking for other electricians. (I understand that it can be difficult to quote prices over the phone as there are other scenarios that would require other charges for fixes but if we had been given the prices of different scenarios over the phone as well, I am confident we would have gone with another electrician.) It took them just 45 minutes to diagnose and fix the issue - a loose wire in our smoke detector circuit.

As a comparison, another electrical company that we called over the weekend charged $165 an hour to do work over the weekend and $110 an hour during business hours. We decided we wanted to save our money so we waited until Monday when other electricians are open (this other company was closed Monday for Memorial day otherwise we would have called them back). Unfortunately, that was a mistake.

We easily would have saved $85 by going with this other company and had the work done two days earlier or waited another day for their normal business hours and saved $145. As another example of Same Day Electric's exorbitant prices, another smoke detector of ours needs to be replaced and they charge $110 to do that. We have replaced one of these smoke detectors before: it costs $15-$20 for a new smoke detector, takes less than a minute to replace it, and it requires zero electrical knowledge.

You literally unplug the old one and plug the new one in. While this company is quick to send people out to do the work and the technicians are great, I would recommend saving your money and calling someone else.

This was one of, if not, the BEST interaction I have ever had with a service company. From start to finish, everyone was personable, courteous, and went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied. Friday evening, via their website, I requested an electrician to come out and give me a quote. I thought I might get a response by the middle or end of the next week.

I even thought I might never get a response based on various other companies I've tried to do business with online. Not Same Day. Ivy in the office contacted me that Monday morning to set up a time to have someone come out. I had them come out to give me an estimate to add an outlet in a master bedroom closet, add a light switch in the kitchen, a floor outlet in the living room, and check to see what I needed to install a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Ben T. and Jason had me an estimate in no time. Ben broke it out into separate quotes because I wasn't sure if I could do all of those things at once.

I was so pleased with the interactions I had with the office and the electricians, I told them to do them all, expecting I would have to schedule with the office for someone to come back at a later date. Nope. Ben said he and Jason could do the work today. I was amazed. They ARE Same Day Electric. The guys did all of the work in a timely manner. There were zero repairs needed for the drywall. WOOHOO!

They cleaned up all of the messes they made. After they were done, Ben walked me through everything they did and physically confirmed that everything worked as they should. Before the guys came out, Ivy in the office sent me multiple updates via text. She even sent me one with Ben T's photo and a short professional and personal bio for him. Nice touch! I will definitely use Same Day Electric for all of my future electrical needs, and I will tell all my family and friends that they should be their go-to electricians.

The two electricians were good at repairing two existing house circuits. They evaluated our master panel and marked the inside of the door, as requested, legibly with the breaker destinations. Quite courteous and professional.

Ben and Riley came out to upgrade our electrical panel and a couple other complex things. They were so friendly and professional. They even finished the two day project in a shorter amount of time than we were initially expecting. They were honest and explained things in a way we could understand. They communicated throughout the whole project so we knew exactly what was going on. We would recommend them 100% to our friends and family.

Ivy kept me updated w texts. What an efficient system and friendly competent electricians. Will call you for all subsequent issues. Million thanks. Michael & Melissa McNamara

We had this company out 3 times to install a new outlet for our sauna and they were unsuccessful each time. The wurst outcome was when the outlet started melting inside of the wall. Attached are the findings from Aaron at All Current Electric who was able to completely fix the many issues and get the sauna up and running.

Ben and Jeff installed eight lights in our master bathroom. The job included running a lot of additional wire, installing associated junction boxes, and modifying three wall-mounted switches. The fellas were able to do all of this using one small access hole (impressive!). Additionally, they were able to install two above-mirror sconce lights EXACTLY where I wanted them despite some challenges behind the wall. Ben, Jeff, and Mark (who provided the estimate) were all professional and a pleasure to work with.

After my regular electrician was booked out fire several weeks, I decided to give Same Day Electric a try. I am very glad I did! First off, the office was friendly, responsive, and sent really great text reminders. Second, Ross showed up right on time, was professional and friendly, and was nice enough to rearrange the order of his project to accommodate my baby's nap schedule.

He removed old fluorescent light fixtures without making a mess and installed new LED fixtures with perfect placement. Thanks so much and now I have a new electrician to recommend.

I had a chirping battery in a smoke detector in the master bedroom. The earliest my electrician could come up was next Tuesday. My ladder would not come close to reaching the smoke detector, so I was in a pinch. Called Same Day and they came out in a little over an hour (big plus). I thought while he was out he might as well do the other 8 smoke detectors.

He quoted me $55+ and I thought that was pretty reasonable for the job. I then told him to do all 9. Imagine my shock when he told me the total would be $540 to get on a ladder and replace 9 batteries. My electrician changed out all 9 detectors for $236. Well, rather than listen to that for another 6 days, I had him (very nice guy) replace 1 battery. Total cost: $68.75. I'm playing those numbers in the Pick 4 lottery.

I came home to find some of my outlets and light switches no longer working. It was 300ish in the afternoon and I needed my kitchen appliances to work. I also needed to pick my kid up from school. Same day electric worked with my schedule, answered the phone the first time I called, kept me up to date and Ross W had everything working when he left. It was incredible and so appreciated. Now I know my fuse box is wired correctly and all outlets and switches are a go. Thank you so much.

Ross from Same Day Electric was wonderful. He repaired our 2 outdoor outlets, indoor GFCI, replaced a breaker and updated light fixture for me. They were here within an hour of my call, and when I was having the new outlet trip for no reason he came out same day and replaced it no problem. He was very informative, professional and went out of his way to make sure I was happy when he left. Will definitely be using this company again. 10/10

In short I highly recommend calling Same Day Electric, if I ever have an issue I can't take care of myself I definitely will be giving these guys a call again, thanks guys! I gave a call and gave a brief description on my issue, I was given a same day 2 hour time period of when someone would arrive between 2pm and 4pm. Jake and his coworker I don't remember his name I wish I did arrived at 2:30pm and were done by 3pm.

I was having an issue with my dryer that worked at my apartment just fine and then here in my the home I just bought it was tumbling but not heating up. I tested the dryer that was left by the previous owner and it had the same issue so i guessed that its not the dryers and its something to do with them not getting the correct voltage needed to make then run properly.

Well Jake checked the circuit breaker and the breaker for the dryer outlet was bad. So he replaced it with a new one. My dryer is now both tumbling and heating working just as it should. When I first showed them and told them the issue I was having I was give a price estimate that I hate to agree to before they could start working. Sure I though it should be less but I wanted my stuff working and I understand the type of effort they have to put in to complete whatever job they're doing to complete it effectively so I figured in the end it's worth it.

Well in the end I payed 150$ less then what I was originally estimated for because it wasn't a difficult job. I like the base estimate and the fact you explained it could be cheaper, I will for sure call again if I ever need to and I highly recommend Jake and this company. Thank you for your work guys much appreciated.

We needed to relocate an outlet for a new microwave. called and they had Josh out within 20 minutes. He did the work quickly and well. It turned out to be a bigger job than he initially realized, having to add a junction box in the crawl space. He explained what needed doing, did the work, and charged a fair amount for the work he did. I'd recommend Josh without hesitation! And Same Day as well.

Same Day Electric is the best company I have worked with thus far! Called them last minute and they showed up same day and identified and fixed the problem in no time. Our electrician was Ross and he is AWESOME. He was so knowledgeable, had such a great attitude, and found a way to resolve our issue while staying within our budget and finding ways to save us some money.

We have also worked with Brayden and he was also incredible. so helpful and knowledgeable and communicated every single detail. I will always use Same Day Electric any time I have a problem and highly recommend trying them out. You will not regret it.

They shouldn't call themselves same day electric. I called them in a Friday and the soonest they could get out was Thursday the following week! I ended up fixing it myself after watching a YouTube video!

They were fantastic from start to finish- not low cost but reasonable for the very professional services they provide. They found my competitively minor issue right away. (I have a 2013 manufactured home- very hard to find electricians that don't jerk me around when they aren't familiar with manufactured homes; I have a very nice one & take great pride in its care- just as I did when I lived in $515k homes. )

Same Day Electric means exactly that. I phoned them after hours and my call was promptly returned first thing the next day. Within 20 minutes on a snowy day Braden was at my house assessing my electrical needs. Within 3 hours he had completed all I asked including two outdoor outlets in freezing weather and the outlet pictured that needed to be fed through the attic.

The work was done professionally and neatly and the price is very reasonable. I couldn't recommend this company and Braden more highly and truly I am already dreaming up a couple of other projects thanks to the timely service I received. Thank you Same Day Electric. Jimmy G

Braden was extremely professional and completed the work we needed very quickly. Affordable fix and he was happy to spend the time working on a quote for other fixes we are looking to take care of. With an older home there are a lot of strange electric setups (no ceiling lights and multiple broken outlets). Estimates were quick and he was a nice guy. Same Day Electric was great to work with! We highly recommend this company for all your electrical needs.

Braden arrived early to work on an electrical problem that had developed the day before in my house. He listened as I explained the nature of the problem, investigated and gave me an estimate of what it would cost. He then set about taking care of it in a timely, professional manner. At all times, he was very business-like. As it turned out, the wiring in the house had been done incorrectly in a particular area, but Braden simply said "I will figure it out, " and he did. Everything worked fine once he was done. I do not hesitate to recommend Same Day Electric and particularly Braden for electrical repairs around your home.

Where to start? I base my ratings on "would I recommend a service to others". In this case with Same Day Electric, I would not recommend using them for services and I wish I got a second opinion my fault. They might be good for changing an outlet or light switch maybe, but avoid them for large jobs. I own the mistake of using Same Day, I needed my services at my house and I was desperate.

My home is listed for sale and I lost half the power. So upon arrival the $99 service call went immediately to "advanced troubleshooting" service call to $200. I said ok, again my fault, I needed service and they knew I was in a pinch. I received a generic (no detail) estimate for $2700 for meter panel, main switch panel replacement and running new feeder wires to the inside breaker panel. I'm down two days, no hot water or laundry so I agreed.

Same Day did coordinate with inspection and Idaho Power and started when they said they would. Then after the work was done, the electrician left leaving an open hole for inspector and they dug the hole throwing the dirt on my AC condenser fins. Best part was he told me when it gets inspected, I can fill the hole back in myself or call Same Day and they would when someone is available.

I choose to fill the hole back myself because of my disappointment for using their service. I did ask for a detailed estimate which was provided after the work was done. They did provide the estimate. Here is the funny part, they charged time for writing the detailed estimate that was needed for the home warranty service. I was also charged for a drill rental with pick up and delivery.

In my experience most companies have the tools needed to perform work and electricians should have coring drills to drill through concrete. It would be like a landscaper not having hedge trimmers and charging the customer for renting one to do the hedges. But I needed service and they knew it. To add to the pain, Same Day did not provide the detailed estimate in time to the home warranty company, so I was denied coverage. They also did not fill in/seal the holes they drilled in my crawl space which I will have to complete. That's my experience with Same Day Electric.

"Same Day" Electric is a misnomer. I called on a Thursday and was told the first available appointment was the following Thursday (.?) Secondly, do not buy it when they tell you that they provide free estimates. In my case, I explained that a previous electrician had identified an issue with the wiring in my porch lighting, noting that it was not to code.

I asked Same Day Electric to come out and confirm the issue and give me estimate for the cost to fix it. Upon arrival, the electrician called me to tell me the cost to identify the issue was a little over $200. This was his "diagnostic" fee (notice the bait and switch from the "free" estimate?) I asked how long the diagnostic process would take and he replied, wellll, I have to take out my ladder and.) He was clearly trying to inflate how long it would take because he didn't want to admit they were trying to charge me $200+ for something that was likely to take less than 15 minutes.

He didn't even get out of the truck. He might have seen what the other electrician saw by taking a minute or two to look. I called to complain and the woman who booked the appointment was a little tongue-tied trying to explain how their promised free estimate was really not free. I absolutely would not recommend this company. They're underhanded and their billing framework is dishonest.

They ought to be hourly or at least be a little more transparent. Yes, I see that they have a lot of good reviews. I'm skeptical of how they got them and wonder about how they could be incentivizing them. It was as plain as day to me that they're slick and not a company you should trust.

Extremely professional and well run company. On time, neat, respectful and knowledgeable. The electrician, Aric, did a great job ensuring I was completely satisfied with the install of our ceiling fan. The thorough cleanup and seamless, transparent billing process was the icing on the cake. Additionally, the scheduler was efficient and very pleasant to work with throughout the process. I highly recommend this company.

FAST. I called later in the afternoon and they apologized and said they wouldn't be able to get anyone out until morning. Wow. I would have been happy to get someone in 3-5 days! Our electrician arrived right on time the following morning and quickly installed the additional outlet we needed in our attic space. He also updated our doorbell transformer in no time at all. Professional and efficient, very happy with the service and the price was very reasonable.

Chris was an excellent example of how it should be done and do it right the first time and even treat people like you want to be treated. He even went above and beyond that with humor and an easy going.
