Dr Watts Electric

Con artist don't do business with this company they will try to upsell you on their crappy service plans. They only want your 69 dollars for the estimate because you will not purchase anything from them and if you do , that's where the trouble starts. Find a company that has no special WAM programs just great service at a decent price.

pleasant company but please get 3 estimates. this company is really really expensive. do your research before you spend your hard earned money.

just had Dr Watts come out and solve another electrical mystery in our older home. They had previously done work for us installing a new panel, and gave us GREAT service.They are responsive and polite. I called 24 hours ago and my problems are currently solved!
The electrician was able to diagnose why my cable kept shorting out, which ultimately broke the breaker swItch. He also uncovered a seriously dangerous outdoor outlet ( unrelated to my initial problem) that could have caused a house fire! He replaced 3 outdoor outlets and made them safe. He installed a new breaker switch and he upgraded an indoor outlet to be more powerful and safer.
This electrician was on time, polite, efficient and helpful. He was friendly with my two large, barking dogs also!
Yes, the cost was a bit high, but I feel it was fair. They provided the service needed!
The other electrician I originally called never even showed up for the appointment ! I'm really glad I used Dr Watts! I will continue to use them for all my electrical issues.

This place is incompetent. First they installed our AC incorrectly... over and over again... and when it kept messing up they told us they couldn't keep coming out for free to fix it. Interesting... Then just recently a guy came out to fix a breaker problem... he located it in 20 minutes and said there was a problem with our light fixture outside our garage and suggested we buy three new ones (so that they match) and then said he'd give us an estimate to install them. These are expensive outdoor garage lighting fixtures. I said, check the bulbs. He was hesitant and I said well if I'm just paying you for a diagnostic then let's s do a full diagnostic and check the bulbs. Guess what, it was just a bulb. They charged us $282 for thirty minutes and an incorrect solution. We are even repeat customers. Why, I can't say. Good day, Yelp.

This company is here to rob you. If it's your first time calling, they will seem like they're awesome. Until the tech arrives. They tried to take advantage of an old man whose house was damaged by a storm. A $7 part broke and nicked a service entrance wire. Had meter removed by oncor until repair was mbv made and passed city inspection. They wanted to charge $7000.00 to replace the service which was not necessary. Would not recommend this company

Stay very far away from these guys.

No matter what your issue is, the electrician that shows up will try and upsell you. Faulty outlet? Probably time to upgrade your entire electrical box. Coolant out on the AC unit? Time to buy a new one one. They never once left my house without giving me a quote for something that would cost thousands of dollars - it was the only way to get them out of the house.

I finally did end up buying a new AC system from them, and during the installation they put a foot through my ceiling drywall and had the audacity to suggest knocking $150 off the price in compensation. Um... no? You're going to fix the hole in my ceiling. It wasn't until after repeated emails and phone calls that they finally relented and sent someone to patch the hole in the drywall.

For that AC system we used their ""preferred lender"" to get a deal on the price, and it turns out it's a predatory lender (GreenSky) with outrageous fees. A $9k system would have cost me $16k at the end of the finance term - and we have outstanding credit. Took out another loan to pay that one off and not deal with those fees, but I never should have made that agreement in the first place. Yes - that's on me for not reading the fine print, but again they use extremely aggressive sales tactics.

Stay far away from these guys, like I said. There are better electricians in town that are interesting in helping you rather than gouging every dollar they can from you. If you *do* go with these guys, do NOT use GreenSky. You're better off getting a signature loan from your bank.

I Called this company to find out what was causing my lights to fliker and Power surge. I have an old house . They were more concerned with the selling the big fix. One estimate was for 12,800, 11,800 , 6,500. I gladly payed the $69.00 service call. Don't wast your time .

I called bc all the electricians were busy and I needed work on my security lights. the electrician was courteous, but it took him over 2 hours to find the problem, it was a truly stressful day. first he said I needed a new circuit in the panel box, then he said I needed 4 new light fixtures. My home is only 4 years old for pity's sake! I was a mess! I kept adding up all the cost of the things he kept telling me was needed. I found myself trouble shooting this that and the other. To make a looonnnggg story short. found out it was a loose wire in another light fixture. After that was connected all was fixed. the bill for this needless waste of time was a whopping $495, also, the whole time the work was being done the tech kept trying to sell me a WHAM plan. Be wary of this company all the fancy online advertisement is just a big lie. listen carefully while getting a quote that $69 become $495!

We paid to be WAM members and called to get a quote on ceiling fans replacement We were told they could not do that and the manager would call us back. Never heard from them again. Lowe's gladly came out and did the job. I love the new commercial good luck finding that one
