I called Ed, the electrician to come and fix some wiring issues, outlets, and had him look over my electrical panel, among other things. Ed was prompt in responding, fitting me in after his work hours as he knew my urgency with the listing was looming.

He was super easy to work with, humous and professional at the same time. Ed gave me some perspective advice on what a housing inspector might want to see. I  added a few more projects for him to fix now rather than later.

If you're looking for a down to earth guy who knows what he's doing, fair on work ethics and a person you can trust, Call ED!  Super happy with his knowledge, honesty and friendly manner. 😊

Jane, thank you for such a thoughtful review! I’m glad I could fit you in and help get those electrical items taken care of before your listing. It was a pleasure working with you—and sharing a few laughs along the way! Your kind words about my honesty and workmanship mean a lot. Wishing you a smooth sale, and thank you for trusting Benchmark Home Services! —Ed

Our dryer kept flipping the breaker.  Ed came out quickly, diagnosed and fixed the problem, all while knowledgably explaining to us what was going on. I recommend calling Benchmark Home Services if you need assistance with your electrical panel.

Owner's reply
Thank you, Sonja! It was a pleasure helping you and Ryan. A dryer repeatedly tripping the breaker can signal a problem that shouldn’t be ignored, so I’m glad I could diagnose the cause, make the repair, and explain what was happening along the way. Thank you for trusting Benchmark Home Services and for taking the time to recommend us!

Ed came out to our home on a holiday and did a great job.  He explained everything that was going on with our electrical box and fixed the issue between our electrical and our dryer.  Great job! Will contact again and recommend to anyone who needs an electrician.

Owner's reply
Thank you, Ryan and Sonya! I was glad I could make it out and help, especially on a holiday. Electrical problems involving a dryer can be frustrating, so I’m happy we were able to track down the issue, explain what was happening at the panel, and get everything working properly. I truly appreciate your recommendation, and please don’t hesitate to call if you ever need help again.

Ed got back to me quickly and was on site within a day or two.  He quickly diagnosed the problems in three rooms and resolved it.  He discovered other issues that he can fix before they become bigger ones down the road.  Great service.

Owner's reply
Thank you, Len! I’m glad we could respond quickly, diagnose the electrical issues in all three rooms, and get everything working properly. I also appreciate the opportunity to identify those other concerns before they develop into larger problems. Thank you for choosing Benchmark Home Services!

Ed was great. He came to our service on very short notice and am incredibly appreciative of his support and knowledge regarding our electrical questions when buying a new home. He gave us the peace of mind that our house was in great shape electrically speaking. Thank you so much Ed, I’m looking forward to having you help us in the future with our electrician needs.

Owner's reply

I’ve always been the kind of person who tries to figure things out myself. When two basement lighting circuits stopped working in my older house, I spent hours checking breakers, switches, wiring, and tracing the problem with a multimeter. The strange part was that the outlets still worked, which sent me down more than a few dead ends and had me questioning my own diagnosis.

Eventually, I called Benchmark.

What stood out right away was their methodical approach. Rather than guessing or replacing parts unnecessarily, they took the time to listen to what I had already investigated, ran their own tests, and systematically worked through the possibilities. Their experience was obvious from the start.

The issue turned out to be a detached neutral in the attic wiring, something I likely never would have discovered on my own. What had become a frustrating and confusing problem for me was diagnosed quickly and repaired correctly.

Just as important, they explained both the cause and the solution in clear, straightforward terms. It’s reassuring to know there are still professionals who combine technical expertise with honest, thoughtful service.

The next time I need electrical work, I know who I’m calling.

Owner's reply
Shane, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review here as well. We really appreciate the detailed feedback and the opportunity to help with the lighting circuits in your Burien home.

Older-home electrical troubleshooting can be tricky, especially when part of the system is still working and the usual checks do not point directly to the issue. We’re glad our team was able to take a methodical approach, listen to the troubleshooting you had already done, locate the detached neutral in the attic wiring, and get everything repaired properly.

We appreciate your kind words about our communication, honesty, and service. Thank you again for trusting Benchmark Home Services — we’ll be happy to help whenever you need electrical work in the future.

Shane, thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. We really appreciate you walking through what happened and giving us the chance to help with your Burien home.

Intermittent or partial lighting issues in older homes can be frustrating, especially when outlets are still working and the obvious checks do not point to the problem. We’re glad our team was able to build on the troubleshooting you had already done, track down the detached neutral in the attic wiring, and get the circuits repaired correctly.

Clear diagnosis, honest troubleshooting, and straightforward explanations are exactly what we aim for on residential electrical repair calls. Thank you again for trusting Benchmark. We’ll be happy to help the next time you need electrical work.

Ed was great to work with and offered quick advice and work in my Seattle home! Ed was friendly, quick to respond, and offered practical help and didn't try to oversell for services that I didn't need. I will use him again when my next need pops up.
