They arrived on time. They listened to me as I prioritized the tasks and described my budget for the project. They helped me save money my showing me a way to use the lighting fixture I had instead of buying a new one. They did the work within the allotted time. They were professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Removed old ceiling fan and replaced it with a new one. Added a remote control for the fan speed and fan lights.

Gowdy Electric is a great team of folks from the owner (Scott Gowdy) to the scheduler (Ashley). The technician (Jason) that did my work was the best. Friendly and personable, while at the same time professional, thorough, and efficient. I was performing as the general contractor for the remodel of a rental property into my primary home. Scott and his team were very helpful and patient with me on a job that took multiple visits to complete. This is definitely the "go-to" team for me on any future electrical needs.

Outstanding- John worked had to install the video doorbell, couldn’t get to work? Had the Ring Tech folks on the line w/him for 30 minutes! He checked lines, voltage etc. way beyond the call of duty! Ring determined the kit may be defective! He still installed everything to enable me to merely switch out the kit once it came! Very professional, efficient and kind! The system came on line by itself 4 hrs Later!😃

At first, we had some trouble with where the outlets were moved but they came right back and redid the work to our satisfaction as well as reorganize our light switches to make more sense logically. Very good communication and responsiveness. Customer satisfaction was important to them.
Description of Work: We had to move a couple outlets for a Murphy bed, install 4 led can lights, and a box for a ceiling fan.

Great! Very professional and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: We needed a ceiling fan put into a place that was controlled by a rheostat. The guy knew exactly what to do. Another ceiling fan he replaced was wired wrong. I would have never figured that out.
