First of all, customer service in the Tri-Cities from most small businesses can be...not great, but Columbia Basin has been amazing both times Ive had them do work. Network drops on 2 different houses and 2nd house was the most complex. The technicians were #1 Friendly #2 Transparent #3 A lot of fun to have over. They did a great job and worked their butts off. Total price was very reasonable and probably a value compared to most installers. Best of all, I didnt have to do the network runs myself. Thank you!

Asked for termination to patch panel and got some resistance for my request and had to explain why I wanted a patch panel. Also had to ask to tone and label data ports. This was all explained in my call when scheduled. Basic termination should also include labeling and toning lines. Suggest adding this as a standard for patch panel requests.

Great LOCAL option for: Electrical, TV service And Internet. I really appreciate the help with some Electrical issues we were having. They came in and the price was what they said with no surprises.The staff is great to work with and everything was explained well with no hiccups. Our tech was very polite and Most important he was on time! Dont waste your time calling someone else. These guys do things right and you can tell they care about their customers.

Columbia Basin Satellite and Electric was recommended to us by another contractor for our washer/dryer electrical work. The crew arrived on time, treated us great, did high quality work, were creative in making our situation work. The finished product came out great and exactly how we needed it. They did such a good job we added installation of a bathroom fan. We are also having them come back to install a EV charging outlet for our car.I cant say enough about how great they performed the work. They treated us great, did high quality work and priced it at a reasonable rate. Would highly recommend them to anyone needing electrical work.If you need electrical work done, especially something custom, give them a call!!

Very good service except for the equipment they first brought was defected and i had already cancelled my current service. Thankfully they were able to come back with good equipment 3 days later. Technician was very personable, helpful, respectful, knowledgable and a nice guy. My biggest issue was that he was in such a hurry, I didnt learn much as he went through the training process. I learned VERY little. I do not know how to use it, even to get to the regular TV. Hoping a family member comes into town to explain it all to me. Thankfully I can use the voice command to get to basic stuff. I am not tech savvy.

Technician did a very professional job switching me over to Dish. Have used these guys for previous switches of TV service and always been satisfied. Far better than going with a random installer via a junk mail offer.

I’m doing a major kitchen renovation/expansion and needed an entire rewire job done on the whole kitchen. During this remodel I have dealt with plumbers who flaked on me and hvac companies that have flaked on me. It seems to be a real nightmare finding honest companies looking to do quality work. With that said, I could not be more impressed than I am with Columbia basin Satellite and Electric. Special thanks to Spencer and the crew for doing such an outstanding job. Thoroughly communicated scope of work, including thinking of many aspects I had not considered and implementing them into the job. They were very prompt and provided top tier work. I always came back to a clean work area when they were done for the day. It can be painstakingly difficult to find and hire good contractors, but I can assure you, you will not find better service than the one provided by these guys. Will recommend to everyone I know for electrical work.

Columbia Basin Satellite & Electric is a great local owned and run company. They have great customer service ( especially Mckenzie ) and they are very patient with every customer they see. And they do a great job! I would highly recommend this company for anyone looking to do electrical contracting to basic dish set ups!

They had to come out twice to complete the job, however the guys onsite and the schedulers where all quite good. The exterior cleanup could have been a bit better, but interior was great. Fair price overall.

Review №13

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. We purchased an attic/outdoor mount tv antenna to receive over the air channels and just needed it installed and wired to one tv. This was a simple job that should have taken an hour to complete. We hired professionals because we didnt have the time and wanted someone with expertise to tell us what we needed to do to get this working. The technicians were friendly but I did not get the impression they had much technical experience in this area. They mounted the antenna in our attic fairly quickly but put it in a location that was easy for them to wire but impossible for us to easily access later. We had even discussed the placement beforehand (for repositioning) so I have no idea why this was done. We scanned for channels on our tv and still had poor reception despite theoretically being well within range with our style of antenna and location. The techs spent over two hours kind of willy nilly pointing the antenna in all directions (literally, 360, even with no chance of hitting signal there) looking for better signal with no luck. It felt like they were just running the clock. They even sent my husband over to home depot to get a signal amplifier which had no effect. They didnt seem to have much understanding of how to troubleshoot this issue and left without discussing any other resolutions like relocating the antenna outside, or trying different equipment. They left us in the same position as when they arrived except Im now out $450 with no tv, and a useless antenna in my attic that I would like to install outside but cant even access. I would call them back but really am just tired of this situation and cant imagine paying them any more than I already have for this.

Great customer service. Installation guy was very knowledgeable and did a nice quick, professional installation. I thought he might have gone thru things a little fast when explaining the remote and how to maneuver around the menus. As soon as he left, I realized I still couldnt remember the basic instructions he gave me. Just as much my fault, however. Im very happy so far with my service!!

We had a TV hung and an outlet moved. Columbia Basin Satellite and Electric showed up on time and worked hard to complete the job in a professional and timely manner. They even helped me with another electrical problem we had. I would highly recommend them. Knowledge, honest and hard working.

Columbia Basin Satellite was a pleasure to do business with. They came in under their initial quote due to the job taking less time than estimated. They took my asks into consideration and when the job could not be completed in the manner of request, they problem solved and advised as to a new solution.Thank you for the great service!

Review №19

Your customer service representative that I spoke with at your business was friendly, thorough, and very patient with all my questions when I decided to switch my cable service to Dish. I believe her name is Essie.I also was very pleased with the young man, Abel, who came to my home to install my satellite dish. He was knowledgeable, courteous and very efficient. He went thru how to use the remote, the channel list, as well as the remote guide. I was pretty overwhelmed by the amount of information that I was given, but have gained more confidence as I have continued to explore and investigate on my own. If I have any further questions or concerns, I will contact Columbia Basin Satellite and Electric to help me.

Prompt service, polite and did a great job installing my Dish system. Kept me informed when they had to move the location of my existing satellite dishes to ensure the signal was clear and strong and would remain so for a long time. Great job guys!

I was needing to dump Direct TV, so stopped by Columbia Basin Satellite, as they had helped me with my internet a couple years ago. Essence helped me get hooked up with Dish in a timely matter. So much better than trying to take care of it by calling Dish directly. Thank you CBS.

This company did a great job at my moms house. I am very protective of my mom and Nelson the installer did an awesome job. He was right on time and went into great detail about the entire install and how to use her new Hopper. I would recommend this company to anyone who wants a quality job and an honest perspective. The take your best interests into account. The are very professional.

We requested Ezra to install under cabinet lighting in our kitchen. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The lighting is beautiful and we’ve never seen better cutouts of the cabinets to accommodate the wiring. Great job Ezra! Since we’ve just moved to the area, we are happy to have found a great electrician to call on if needed.

This was truly one of the best experiences I have had from any service company. Dave S. and his team were terrific. Dave took the time to explain all the services I could receive and even went above and beyond to explain each step that was going to take place and also all the additional features you get with being a Dish customer. Thank you Dave and the rest of the Columbia Basin Satellite & Electric team for a wonderful experience. I recommend them to all!

We are very pleased with the service we were provided. The staff was very knowledgeable about ALL of the services and packages that were available to us. They made sure we got the best deal we could. The install was great, on time, and worked before they left. We even decided to order our Charter internet through them and got a discount that Charter would never offer if you dealt with them directly. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

The technician came out FAST, then repaired 2 problems FAST, and we were back in business in no time. When we were moving and there was so much going on, it was so nice that this was just taken care of and I didnt even have to worry knowing it would be done quickly, in the short time-frame we needed, and that it would be done RIGHT. Thanks Columbia Basin Satellite and Electric!

Theses guys are consistently raising the bar for customer service and making it easy to get what you want from the sometimes confusing set of television packages on the market. They take the time to figure out what you need and then help you get it. Plus their expanded electric capabilities can help get your system dialed in faster and keep costs down. I personally will never call an 800 number again and deal with a robot when Dave and his crew are just a call away!

In an industry that has been so commoditized and garnered a terrible reputation for poor customer service, Dave and his group have risen far above their competition providing care and concern for their customer base on an individual level. Their overall value offering is much more than flipping a switch on your cable or satellite provider and you should have supreme confidence that they are providing you with the best service youll find anywhere with todays market leading packages, and complete the job in a timely, professional manor. Do not call anyone else.

Stars would have been higher. However, there seemed to be a lack of communication. The person installing the dish had know idea that he was supposed to install a dish and the package that I spoke the individual in the shop about that he assured me would be included where not and I had to spend the next two and a half hours talking with customer service and getting things set up.

This Company likes to take advantage of individuals. They get paid to do installs from the big guys then gives kickbacks to apartment complexes with the money you give them to do installs that they say you have to pay. I guess they dont know what Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule is. Shame on You! Plus Rudeness seems to be the new kind of Customer Service!.
