Artisan Electric is one of Puget Sound's largest and most respected solar/electrical contractors with over 8.5 MW installed. Most solar contractors are not electrical contractors. Artisan is different. With our team of highly skilled, professionally licensed journeyman electricians and installation specialists, we're proud to set industry standards for quality, design and customer service. We're committed to helping homeowners, businesses and communities discover their clean energy potential-and make it easy with our full-service turn-key approach.
Since 2007, Artisan Electric has helped shape the Puget Sound's energy future. We do this by educating communities, simplifying processes and creating solar energy solutions that are both practical and elegant. With over 7 megawatts of solar power installed, Artisan is one of the largest and most respected solar contractors in the Puget Sound region. We are proud to set industry standards for quality, design and customer service. Artisan brings an integrated approach and signature craftsmanship to every project.
Washington's long spring and summer days - providing hours of sunlight without excessively high temperatures - create perfect conditions for solar. Solar panels operate more efficiently in cooler weather, and produce more power here in the summer than in southern California! During the cloudy winter months, solar modules keep working- they don't require blue skies to create ample power. The sun's energy is producing electricity whether we see it or not. Although we get the most sun when we need power the least-in the summer-in Washington this works to your advantage.
Additionally, Artisan Electric exceeds industry standards with a five-year workmanship warranty backed by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, (IBEW) Union Local 46. If something breaks, we fix it. As a full-service electrical contractor, Artisan Electric offers residential and commercial electrical services- we can tackle any project big or small. Our electricians are current with their knowledge about the NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC) and regularly receive praise from the inspectors about the quality of our work.
We love what we do, and it shows. Experienced, knowledgeable, and united by a commitment to exceptional service, the Artisan team works together to give our customers an easy, enjoyable experience every step of the way. From our founders to our licensed electricians, every member of our team embodies the passion and professionalism that have made Artisan a leader in Puget Sound clean energy. Like our installations themselves, the relationships we build with our customers and communities are made to last.
We feel strongly about supporting and empowering all of our staff to reach their full potential-in their roles within our company, and in the clean energy movement. With over 30 full-time staff, we rely on our dedicated team to deliver the quality, innovation, and service that our customers expect from the leading Puget Sound renewable energy contractor. As a signatory IBEW Local 46 Electrical Contractor, we believe strongly in providing living wages and long-term careers in the energy industry.
We guarantee that our systems are built safely, built to code and built to last. Since the solar panels we sell can last up to 40 years, we build the system to last just as long using quality parts and solid installation methods. The workmanship of our systems iswarrantied for ten years, and the products we use carry manufacturers' warranties of up to 25 years. We also provide free check-ups and product support in the first year, so you are covered during the break-in period of your system. Artisan designs around your budget and financial goals.
It all starts with an exceptional team. Artisan exceeds standard certifications and licensing by ensuring each employee is fully trained. We are the first solar contractor in Puget Sound to require that every installer is a certified journeyman electrician. Because of this, we retain our employees for longer than the industry average. Artisan also guarantees that our work is insured for every project, big or small. Our robust safety practices allow us to maintain a perfect safety record with Labor and Industries.
