I needed two GFCI outlets replaced, Dr Watts was someone who showed up. I don't remember the names of the two techs who came, but only one was needed. The senior tech felt it necessary to give me an entire soliloquy about the company and himself. I told him he could give me his 3 estimates but I was only wanting to have the two outlets replaced. He went through the house, testing various outlets, took an hour to go through his process of building estimates and explaining each of the three levels of service. In total, for a $100 job that should've taken 20 minutes, they were at my house 2 hours. I needed the work done so I paid the $600 they charged to replace two outlets. I will NEVER use them again; while the did the job eventually, they took too much of my valuable time, over-charged, and did a dis-service to their future in my opinion.

Came out to get an estimate on rewiring a connection from outdoor equipment to indoor control. Expensive estimate. Then he said I should consider them installing a house surge protector for $900. Told them I had one installed a few months ago for $250. They hadn't even checked. Got worse. They then said that the sleeve for the power line had slipped away from my meter box after they actually checked to see if the surge protector was there and working and that they could repair the sleeve for $1,100. He knew the price because he had just done that job for someone else. I asked them wasn't that something Oncor would do? The tech said that he was sure that Oncor wouldn't do it. I didn't have them do any of the work because it seemed suspicious. I called Oncor that afternoon. They came out the next morning and repaired the sleeve for free. Called the office to talk to them about this. The manager never called back. Clearly I would not use or recommend this business to anyone.

They showed up on time, and were professional. I thought the work was OK. They spent about two hours which included the inspection. Most work was almost all labor, and the bill surprised me at well over $500.00
Description of Work: To reconnect one attic light switch. I also asked them to check electrical connections on a exhaust fan and light over stove. Performed an electrical check of entire house, an indicated they could not perform any work on property for safety reasons. I was charged for that inspection. During check found one circuit breaker not properly configured. I authorized the repair.

Here is why I would not recommend this company. After seeing their advertisement on TV, we called them to have an estimate on some small work. They came out to our home and gave an estimate for $70. We needed three outside lights on the house replaced, a ceiling fan replaced, and a light in the kitchen replaced. Pretty simple stuff. After they arrived they tried to up-sell us on $10,000 worth of electrical upgrades! I kid you not. Not only that, they wanted $700 to do the light and fan replacements. We laughed, declined, and ate the estimate fee. We then called another local electrical company, which will remain nameless because I'm not here to promote them, and they did a free estimate over the phone. They came out and charged us only $200 for the exact same work and did a stellar job! I would avoid this company.

The most well known home electrical company in my area is Amos Electric. I called Dr Watts after giving up on trying to get the Amos dispatcher to understand what I needed to have done. There were 4 visits and each time the work on each visit involved something that needed correcting or completion from the last visit. That sounds bad but wiring layout was a quite a conundrum, and a new circuit layout had to be installed. All work was done cheerfully. Dr. Watts provides an estimate up front. If the work takes longer than expected, the price stays the same. The work proved more difficult than expected so they could have revised their estimate, but didn't.
Description of Work: I've had this provider to the house on 4 occasions. Due to poor electrical installation when the house was built many of the outlets and switches were not working. They were repaired. Several new outdoor, kitchen, and bathroom GFCI outlets were installed. Some non working switches were replaced, 2 new GFCI outlets installed, and a bathroom heater fan replaced.

Great experience from first telephone contact to their leaving the drive way. Neat and clean in uniforms with their names on them. Well spoken and tidy.
Description of Work: When I called to get an estimate they came the next day at the time specified and called ahead to tell me the name and description of techician that would be arriving. After checking to see exactly what I wanted I was given a quote that sounded good to me. Once I accepted a date and time was set for the work to be done. On the specified day arrival was prompt and the work completed in a timely fashion. They installed a complete new line from the box to where I wanted my new tankless water heater and new circuit breaker appropriate for the gauge wire. They also installed a new plug in the living room and a new outside light where there had never been one with switches and circuit breaker. While they were in the breaker box they inspected the entire box for any potential problems. I felt comfortable because they explained everything and why it was done that way and did not talk down to me.

The job was so-so. The electrician worked a little slower than normal. He underestimated the job. It took him longer to get the job done but he didn't ask for more money than his original bid. He got the job done to my satisfaction. He was a licensed electrician. He cleaned everything up just fine. The price was very good.

We are sorry that your experance with us was "so-so" We strive to give the best service in the area. The bid was miss quoted, but we pride ourselves in the fact that once we give a price we do not change it even if it cost us money. Our techs are also taught to slow down to make sure the work is done right the first time. Yes it may appear to be slower, but we are making sure all things are done correctly. We thank you for posting with angies list and the feed back we have recieved. It will help us become a better company. We would be glad to give you a $49 coupon for any future work.

Response from Dr. Watts Electric
We at Dr. Watts Electric charge a nomal fee of only $49 dollors to have a fully stock truck and licensed Tech come to any home. We than gave a strait forward price for a needed repair to a meter box but informed the owner that the power company could make a minimal repair at no cost. The meter box however was in need of replacement. After giving the owner a estiment of only $665 (which included the service fee) we could make a new repair for them. The customer declined the work but signed our paper work in 2 different locations that he was satisified with our work and would call us back after contacting the power company first. What the power company advised him to do is out of my control as a contractor. The power company and contractors have different laws that have to be followed. I have to by law advise a replacement on service equipment if it is damaged. The power company is allowed to make a repair by law. We at Dr. Watts Electric will always have the saftey of a home and it's owners well being at the heart of any estiment we give. I will be happy to visit with the customer to see what changed his mind on his satisfaction with our company.
