About electrical in Yelm

Yelm is a growing Thurston County city with many newer homes and subdivisions.

We serve Yelm from our Lakewood base - travel calculated at booking.

Newer Yelm homes usually have straightforward wiring and good panels, so most calls are fixtures, fans, smart devices and the occasional breaker.

Rates: outlet or switch replacement $129, GFCI outlet install $149, light fixture replacement $149 with your fixture, ceiling fan install $199 with your fan and an existing box, smart thermostat or video doorbell install $129, and breaker replacement $179. You supply the fixture, fan or device.

Yelm is a longer drive from our base, so we confirm the travel charge with the price when you book.
