About North Sound Communications

Our Story

We are a family business. Without the families that work for us and those that work with us, there would be no ‘us.’

In 2009 Andy Nichols had a dream: to start his own business based on helping his community. It was that simple.

Believing that systems and networks of communications were the answer, he set his one-person show in motion, growing slowly and intentionally, one outlet, panel, and neighbor at a time.

It wasn’t long before he needed to expand his team, hiring one and then two trained professionals, but electricians on the islands are hard to come by. He quickly understood that the best way to grow his business was to invest in the community by training and educating locals to join his team.

Today, North Sound Communications employs eight professional electricians, many of whom started as trainees making a livable wage and health benefits while working toward becoming certified electricians.

Headquartered on Lopez Island, Washington, North Sound Communications owns a warehouse to facilitate timely service by storing parts for quick job turn-around and speedy service. We also provide on-site delivery of parts to our electricians to enable the timely completion of projects.

Our work crews, led by senior electricians, have the expertise to deliver quality work and the commitment to take care of our customers. Our vans are equipped with all the standard parts, enabling timely installation, problem-solving, repair, and prompt on-site service. Customers can expect reliable expertise and quality workmanship.
