Frequently Asked Questions

Question:  Are the Union Contractors who make up the RES family more expensive?
Answer:  No. In fact, RES contractors are typically 10 to 20 percent less expensive than other contractors listed in the yellow pages.

Question: How do I know that the serviceman who comes to my home is qualified?
Answer: You can be assured that all of our servicemen are licensed by the State of Washington. In addition, Union contractors have access to the State of Washington's most comprehensive training center in the electrical industry with more than 60,000 square feet of classrooms and labs.

Question:  What happens if something goes wrong with my electrical installation or repair?
Answer:  We will come back out and fix it at no charge to you for a period of 5 years from the date the work was done or in the case of new construction, 5 years after the expiration of the builder's one year warrantee for a total of 6 years of peace of mind.

Question:  Are there any common electrical problems that I can take care of myself?
Answer:  Yes. Customers often call when their Bathroom, Garage or Outside receptacles do not work. Most of the time you should look to see if you have a GFCI receptacle or breaker tripped somewhere. GFCI receptacles have a test and reset button on their face. They often control other receptacles that look like normal outlets. Sometimes there is a breaker in the panel that may need to be reset. You can tell a breaker has tripped if the switch is in the middle and is neither on or off. If you have checked all of your GFCI receptacles or breakers and you still have a problem, give us a call.
