“Who is the best electrician in Columbia Falls, Montana?”

I can't name one "best" electrician, since that depends on your job and nobody ranks them officially. But a few names come up again and again in local reviews from Columbia Falls and the Flathead Valley:

• Yeti Electric (Ryan): This is the most praised name in my search. It has a 5.0 rating on Yelp (5 reviews) and a 5-star Angi review from October 2025 that calls Ryan the "best service electrician in the Flathead." Reviewers say he's reliable and will take jobs of any size.
• Sunrise Electric: 5.0 on Yelp (3 reviews). It's listed as usually replying within a day.
• Elliott Electric (Josh): Based in Columbia Falls itself. It has 5.0 on Yelp, but from only one review, about an emergency repair after a tree fell on a power line in a 2022 storm.
• Lucky Electric LLC: An Angi reviewer said they rewired an entire 1923 house and put in a new panel.
• Glacier Power Solutions: 5.0 on Yelp (3 reviews). They're a good choice if you want a Generac standby generator installed.
• Other local options: Montec Electric, CMB Electric, Inskeep Electric, A2Z Electric and Gray's Electric.

Some tips:

• Most of these have only a handful of reviews, so the ratings don't tell you much. Get two or three quotes.
• Check that the electrician has a current license with the Montana Department of Labor & Industry and is insured.
• Pick someone who fits the job. For example, a service electrician is best for repairs, a generator specialist for backup power, and a firm with remodel experience for rewiring an older home.
• Locals on Facebook groups or Nextdoor can also give you useful recommendations.
