One of the best electricians I have had the pleasure of contracting with. They were quick coming out to get done what we needed, adding a couple of lights and an outlet in an office. The electrician cleaned up after his project and left the office nice and tidy as well as much brighter. I will definitely be using them in the future.
I was pleased with the service I got with Farmers Electric.. Having been in the building business many years, I would recommend Farmers to anyone. Ally was great to deal with initially and kept me informed. Andrew came out to do the work and we got it done quickly.
Farmers Electric is my go to team! 30 years+ as a director of engineering in high rise buildings and over 4 years working with Farmers I’ve had nothing but on time on budget results!

Why Generator Maintenance Is Critical
A backup generator that doesn't start when you need it is worse than having no backup at all. Without regular maintenance, generators develop fuel issues, battery problems, worn parts, and component failures that prevent reliable operation during actual outages.
Farmers Electric has been maintaining generators throughout the Puget Sound area since 1956. Our NICET III certified technicians understand what it takes to keep backup power systems ready year-round.
