Our needs were simple. We were adding outdoor heat mats (HeatTraks) for entry to our Olympic Valley condo and needed to install outdoor outlets to power the mats. We have 31 stairs and a 20 ft bridge to get to the front door. Barry responded promptly. His first concern was safety. He arrived promptly to inspect our electrical panel. Our condo was built in the 60's with aluminum wiring. Barry wanted to make sure everything was safe before he took the job. SVE replaced our electrical panel and installed 5 new outdoor plugs and a Lutron control. SVE planned the job and got it done. Bigger job than planned but extremely happy with the quality of the work and results. We can turn mats on and off remotely as needed. No more snow shoveling. No slippery ice on entry. Thank you Barry & SVE!!

Because of the high quality service and collaborative approach to design, I have hired SVE for three different houses over 15 years. Two complete electrical installations for new houses...including Lutron systems and blinds and a third install of Lutron blinds at a condo in the Bay Area. We will never live without them again (thanks Barry!) Barry has always worked with us to get the best value for our budget and the results have always been stunning. Barry is a perfectionist so be ready for his strong views and approach, but he really cares and wants the best result. Highly recommend SVE!

I had an urgent electric problem at my home in Rubicon. Being July in Tahoe and the busiest time of the year, I had a hard time finding an electrician.
I contacted 4 businesses that came
recommended by others but the were unavailable.
The most frustrating part of searching was calling at least 13 companies around the lake and Reno and Squaw Valley Electric was the only company to return my call and understand the urgency of my problem.
Barry called me back within 30 minutes and arranged for one of the electricians to visit & diagnose the problem. Nick was not only professional & efficient, but at my home within a few hours.
It seems rare to even get a courteous call back anymore, regardless of the business.
I think it speaks volumes about the work ethic of this company and a common attitude & desire to serve their customers. What a great team.
I am one happy satisfied customer!
Thanks to all.

Barry went above & beyond for me from the very beginning. He was professional, friendly and got the job done efficiently & effectively. We will most definitely be using Squaw Valley Electric in the future and I also will have no problem referring Squaw Valley Electric & Barry to my friends, family, colleagues and clients. Always a breath of fresh air to be working with someone who is passionate not only about their job, but about people. Thank you, Barry & Squaw Valley Electric!

Last week's storm ripped the power lines off our cabin. A full seven days later, Liberty Utilities finally arrived to say they wouldn't do any of their repairs until an electrician repaired the damage to my electrical panel. Barry Thys of Squaw Valley Electric returned my call in ten minutes recognizing the sense of urgency (5 days before Christmas) and did what I thought would be the impossible. He coordinated getting all the components purchased and assigned a crew (Billy and Tyler) to repair all the damage, all the while staying in contact with us to keep us apprised of the progress. His crew did a fantastic job,

Phone call to Squaw Valley Electric Monday at 10:00 am and power to our cabin was restored at 8:30 pm. Tuesday!

Barry Thys of Squaw Valley Electric is the best of the best.

I have worked with Barry and Squaw Valley Electric for about 10 years. They are always so responsive, friendly and helpful. Love working with them and would highly recommend.

Barry and the Squaw Valley Electric team did A LOT of work on my house, from A/V system to Lutron lighting and shades to core electrical system and high capacity hot swap generator. Across the board they did great work. They are smart, efficient and responsive. And when the work was complete, they still checked in and came by numerous times when we wanted to tweak various things like the lighting programming. I hadn't worked with them before this so I started with a ""show me"" attitude. Over time I learned that they were true to their word and they really did care about doing great work. Even now, Barry checks in to make sure everything is working the way we want it. I'm a huge fan and they get two ""thumbs up"" from our family. Oh, and their billing is easy to follow and totally transparent. Great people. Thanks SVE team!

Barry and the team at SVE are awesome. They have flawlessly installed and managed our Lutron system -- and all aspects of our home electronics -- for years. I highly recommend them.

After years of dealing with a bad internet connection and low-end gear, Barry at Squaw Valley Electric changed everything! My Truckee house is a very busy rental and I always getting complaints about the internet. Not anymore! With everyone working from home, having technology work optimally is vital. Every dime with Squaw Valley Electric is money well spent.

Squaw Valley Electric installed a high end Luttron lighting system in my home in Olympic valley in 2011. I have been very pleased with the system and the service. There haven't been many occasions to request service but every time I did Barry and his team were very responsible and got the issues handled quickly and in a timely manner.
Recently during Christmas week I needed some assistance with the system. Called Barry and he got one of his technicians Scott here almost immediately in spite of being very busy with the holiday . Scott quickly fixed the issue i and got me up and running.. Couldn't recommend Squaw Valley Electric more highly.
