The gentlemen could not have been more responsive and courteous. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. I am more than pleased.
Description of Work: I had an issue with my lamp post light that was on a photo cell dusk to dawn timer to stop working suddently. The light had been installed by another company that I could no longer get in touch with for a repair. Using the reviews from Angie's List I contacted Gowdy Electric and both Ashley ( in the office) and the electricians were prompt and courteous when receiving/returning my calls. The fix proved to be a bit more involved and Chad Efird along with another electrician came on a 3rd visit today and fixed my lamp post issue.

I called about my disposal and he fixed it. I had some time left on my deal and he fixed another problem I had. Very pleased with the professionalism and promptness of this service.
Description of Work: My disposal had no electricity going to it and would not work. He fixed it. I also had lights in two closets and a plug in my guest bathroom that wouldn't work unless the attic light was turned on. He quickly fixed that problem too.

The technician (Tim) showed up right on time. He asked what type problem we were having, and went right to work. We have an older home with older electrical wiring connections that aren't up to current code. The outlet had a wire come loose due to the way it was originally configured. Tim quickly rewired the outlet which is now up to code and working great. Tim cleaned up around the area and even took a look at our door bell that doesn't work. We will have Gowdy Electric come back soon and repair the chimes for us. Overall I am very pleased.

The big deal was fine. I had forgotten that I had purchased it, and they were happy to come out 10 months later and do the work. They were excellent. They charged a small amount for materials. They were on time, the worker that came out was very professional, and he knew what he was doing. He was very patient, and we had to make a decision about what exactly we wanted him to do, because it involved cutting holes in our dry wall, and he was willing to let me discuss it with my wife. It was overall a positive experience. The only negative side was when I purchased it on Angie's List, it said the coupon did not expire, but when you open the coupon, it says that it expires in 4 months, so until I opened the coupon, I didn't know that it ever expires. When I called them, I told them that I had purchased it 9 months ago, they told me that it had expired 5 months ago, so that was confusing. They still honored it. I would use them again, and I would recommend them to other Angie's List members. I was really happy with the service.
Description of Work: I had purchased a big deal for Gowdy Electric. The previous owner of our house had installed a ceiling fan, but it wasn't wired correctly, so they had to rewire it.

I had a great experience with Gowdy Electric. The owner responded to my request for an appointment late on a Sunday evening and I actually had an electrician in my home before 3:00 PM the following afternoon (and he was a few minutes EARLY!!!). Mike was very professional and personable. This really could not have gone any better.

I purchased the Big Deal on 12/11/2014. I emailed them several times, the last email was sent on 12/19/2014. After this date, I called several times trying to schedule an appointment as I had a contractor waiting for this work to be completed. I finally received a response by email on 12/29/2014 informing me that he is too busy and will be unable to perform the work. I requested a refund for this Big Deal.

Response from Gowdy Electric
[removed name], I'm so sorry you misunderstood the Big Deal for 2 hours labor you purchased. These are offered to do smaller type project I/e: replacing a ceiling fan, outlet covers, installing a light fixture, ect. As instructed by you, we contacted your general contractor and left several messages for him. Once we made contact, he explained that he had just had some sort of surgery and asked if we would stop by for a walk through (which is usually not done on a 2 hour deal, we send a tech right out to do the deal). It was not a problem for one of our saleman to stop by for that walk through but as we were on site, it became apparent that you were doing a whole home renovation that would include 1-2 weeks of rough in electrical wiring/work and trim out wiring/work along with inspections/permitting. Since the short notice, we would not been able to meet your contractors schedule demands hence the reason we offered our upfront honesty that we would not be able to have a crew available at the time needed by your GC to do the project. I truly hate that misunderstandings occurred regarding the big deal and hope you understand we are here to help in any way we can. We Would never want to commit to a project willfully knowing that we would not be able to meet your GC's schedule requirements. Sincerely, Residential Division Manager

My interaction with this company, especially Chad, from beginning to end was excellent. From the initial call when I described my problem and Chad diagnosed over the phone until the end when he told me everything was working I felt confident. Chad arrived and listened intently to confirm the issue and then got to work. He offered a solution that resolved my problem and stayed in my budget and never tried to sell me anything I didn't need. Chad was courteous and respectful. They will be the electricians I use in the future.

Tim, the electrician for this appointment was courteous, friendly & professional. He called to let me know that he was on the way, but was stuck in traffic and would be there in 30-45 mins. That was fine as it was still in the appointment window. When he arrived he instroduced himself and ask what i needed to have done. He listened attentively, reassured me that he could take care of all of my concerns. He made sure to show me and explain how the new light fixtures worked and when done with all the work asked if there was anything else he could do while there before completing the work order. What a breath of fresh air dealing with people who knows and loves what they do and they value & respect the customer. I will definitely use them again in the future and or recommend them to friends & family.

Rang Gowdy and discussed what I wanted - they recommended a simple service call to do the work rather than have a quote. This seemed a good idea as I could guess the time needed and therefore estimate the price. It also eliminated the need for me to be home for a quote & then for the work. We scheduled a time - Gowdy phoned to confirm when they said they would, arrived on time. Tim the electrician was great - he talked me through the options for installing the outlet and the time it would take for each. We decided what to do and he did exactly what we agreed. Tim was very professional, polite & considerate. He worked very quickly. The result was very professional and I am delighted with the result. The final cost was $130 which was much better than the $200 quote I got from a contractor that did a similar job in another bathroom but was a total disaster. Gowdy was excellent from start to finish and I will use them again next time I need an electrician.

We have an old house with aluminum wiring. About 2:30 on Saturday I started to smell smoke coming from an outlet so I called Gowdy Electric. I'd used them before on a friend's recommendation and had been very pleased. I left a message and got a callback within about five minutes even though it was a Saturday. Within less than two hours, Scott was at my house checking the outlet. It turned out he just needed to tighten the screws in the receptacle. (I'd tightened them just four months before, but we have a computer on that outlet that draws power all day, so the wires get really hot and expand.) He took the time to look at a couple other electrical problems I was having as well and gave me a very clear idea of what to watch for and what I can do to keep the electrical system working safely with the aluminum wiring. I continue to be impressed with Gowdy Electric's responsiveness and professionalism.

Very polite. Professional. Showed up on schedule and was done very quickly. The GFI's have not shorted out since, and the floodlight on the pad makes us feel alot safer as it was very hard to see before.
