Willis Electric Inc

He arrived on time and went right to work. Had to access the attic several times to find wiring. Install went well, and he cleaned up afterward.

To be fair, the septic tank guys had accidentally buried the old power connection instead of leaving it in plain site. So Mr. Willis needed to dig to locate the power from the house so it could be used to plug in the new pump. Mr. Willis spent a lot of time telling me how difficult the job was and standing around with his shovel, doing not much. Meanwhile, I was paying him by the hour! He also complained numerous times that the septic tank company he normally works with would not have left the electrical connection buried. He also criticized other things my septic company had done. I felt he was needlessly negative and greatly added to my stress about the overall job. I called my husband (who had supervised the septic work) and the septic tank company to see where they thought we should dig. Mr. Willis wouldn't listen what they told me, but just dug wherever he wanted. At that point, I wish I had asked him what I owed him so far and sent him on his way. Due to pressure to get the job finished that day, I ended up getting out a shovel myself, and digging too. He was too afraid to dig in one of the areas I had pointed out because he was convinced those wires were from an old sprinkler system (and he'd cut them with his shovel, then get stuck splicing them back together on his dime). I had to get my gardening gloves and dig with my small gardening tools around the wires, pulling them gently out, before he would admit that those were the right wires after all. This is not really what you want to do after you have hired someone to do a job and are paying him $75 an hour. I expected a bit of a break when I went to pay up--after all, I was out there working alongside him, and ultimately, I was the one who located the connection. All he offered was no charge for travel. This was the first time I had heard anything about any travel charges, by the way!! So I was less than impressed. I paid him for three hours of work--I'd say at least an hour to an hour and a half was wasted on digging holes in the wrong spot. I imagine my situation is unique--I foolishly went with an old recommendation from a different septic tank company than I had used this time around. I imagine he'd be fine if paired with that company. However, I will say that this experience showed that this contractor can have difficulty if he runs into non-electrical problems during a job. I think he'd be fine for your straightforward, in the house, electrical issues and upgrades. But if it comes to any complicated challenges, you may want to look elsewhere. Especially since you are paying him by the hour!

The job went well. Power was off for a minimum amount of time as he had said. We verified all circuits could be powered from the generator. Jamie cleaned up the work area at the end.

I called Mr. Willis to see if he would be interested in replacing the lights. He ask what I was needing done and I told him. He gave me a idea of the cost which I appreciated, no surprises. He communicated very well between setting up a time as to where it was not raining for the outside lights. He came on a Saturday which was very nice since I work. He called the night before to confirm the time of his arrival and he was on time! I would recommend him over and over again. Great work and the pricing was great also.

He and helper arrived on time and completed the work with efficiency.

Excellent. Mr. Willis was efficient, business-like, and qualified.

First of all, he was punctual which is important to someone who is missing work for the appointment! I really appreciated that. He quickly check all three items that I wanted him to and he fixed what he had to very quickly. He did a very good job and I will definitely use him again.

The electrician was able to solve intermittent problems with small appliances in the kitchen. He provided new outlets but didn't mind using the long ceiling bulbs that I provided. He used his own 12 foot ladder and was careful bringing it in and out of the house. A family scheduling problem occurred after I made the appointment and he rescheduled to an earlier time of day. The service call was $75 including the first hour of work and the outlets were $25 each.

We had a new house built and moved in October 2013. The builder put in one ceiling fan but wanted to much to install more than the one fan. I purchased 8 ceiling fans and needed an electrician to install them. I telephoned Mr. Willis on Monday and he was here the following Tuesday @ 8:00 am. His price was great and he was extremely professional and thorough. I will use him again.

PERFECT! This guy should be a U.S. Ambassador!

We found him on Angies list, and left him a message. He was prompt to return our call and after talking to him, we scheduled a time for him to come and do the requested job. He gave us a quote based on the amount of time needed to do the job. He arrived on time, was very professional, did the work, and cleaned up. I will call him the next time I need electrical work done. Very nice person.

Mr Willis returned my call within a reasonable amount of time. He was professional, and courteous. He was able to come out the very next day. He arrived promptly and went right to work. It took a little over 2hrs to complete and he left the area just as he found it. I thought his prices were fair. I would definitely use him again.

Very good communication from initial contact to the date of service. James was also punctual, knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely use him again. AAA+++

This project was pretty labor intensive and required running larger cables for a pair of heat pump units into some areas with difficult access. There were also challenges finding access to run the dedicated circuit for the smoke alarms. I had requested, and Jamie installed a better quality main panel with copper buss. The panel was nearly filled required 9 of the more expensive arc fault breakers in addition to all the others. Based on the above I feel that the price was quite fair. Although some work was unexpectedly tacked on in progress, Jamie was able to save in another area and the final cost was actually a little less than the original estimate. I was very pleased with the quality of workmanship, especially the attention to detail inside the panel. Everything is neat, well organized, and properly labeled. There were zero issues with the permitting or with the final inspection. For me, knowing who will be actually doing the work is important. I would much rather use a small shop with a good reputation than a larger one where you have no idea if you will get a great crew, or someone just doing a job. My experience with Willis Electric was totally positive and I would definitely recommend to a friend or family member.

My dishwasher had stopped working. I figured it was electrical because my garbage disposal wouldn't work either. I called 2 other companies with no call backs from either (even after emails and voicemails). I called Mr. Willis and he got in touch with me the same day I called. He came out the next day and fixed my problem promptly. He was great! I will definitely use him again in the future.

Showed up on time, looked at problem one, outside outlets not working, found they were on the same circut as an outlet in a spare bathroom with a tripped GFI. Fixed. Looked at problem #2, install an outlet in an island kitchen. After a lot measuring and discussion with me advised not to install the outlet and gave me all the reasons why not. Gave me an alternative solution that I could do myself. What impressed me were is knowledge and honesty. I will for him for future electrical needs.

He came first and did estimate, then came back in two weeks and installed fan/light. He arrived on time and took out can light in shower and discovered a plumbing pipe and HVAC duct so we were not able to move the fan unless we did a lot more changes. We decided to put fan in existing location after extensive deliberation about best and most cost efficient placement.. New Fan/light was much bigger. Installed fan and new timer switch. Was very thoughtful about options when he hit snags and gave us several alternatives. He was great about being neat, taking off his shoes in the house and being careful to make as little a mess as possible. He was very busy I had to wait a few weeks to get him to come out for estimate, but IT WAS WORTH IT. I definitely use him in the future.

When someone has this many "A" ratings, it's no mistake. So I HAD to choose him! And am I glad... His work was perfect, fast, affordable. You won't regret using Willis Electric!

We are very pleased with the work done by Jamie and recommend him highly. Very professional job and at a fair price. He is highly sought after and busy so it may take him some time to get to you, but he is worth it!!

Jamie was on time (actually a few minutes early) and was ready to work. He didn't try to sell me more than I needed, and explained why he would or wouldn't recommend certain fixes. He was very knowledgable and his work was reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him.

Great. He came right away and was thorough in his inspection, diagnosis and repair. He was very personable.

Excellent! It was hot, mosquitoes were buzzing, but Jamie was upbeat and stayed to finish it on a late Saturday...

Mr. Willis arrived right on time. I showed him where everything was and went straight to work. We had discussed beforehand the work to be done. I had the light fixture to be swapped out as well as the exhaust fan for the bathroom. Mr. Willis worked non-stop and completed the job in about 2.5 hours. I was pleased with the work as well as his explanations when I asked questions. Overall, I am well pleased with Mr. Willis and the work he performed.

Very well. Mr. Willis impressed me as honest, straight-forward, and fair. I thought charges were very reasonable.

The bedroom fan was to be placed where the existing light fixture was. It still took time, but wasn't difficult. The other fan, which I wanted in the kitchen, was a different story. There was not a light fixture and the existing switches were not appropriate for the fan switch. Mr. Willis spent a good amount of time trying to figure out how to get the switch in an appropriate place, but in the end we decided to hold off until I could get a fan with a remote control. This will be the electrician we go to from now on. We talked on the phone, he gave us an estimate, came out on time the next day, was very professional and the price was more than fair.
