"John Adams was excellent. A+ Personable. Trustworthy. Efficient. Knowledgeable. Well-experienced. On time. Performed diagnosis and intervention on the same day, partly in my absence. Later returned to give back key. Honored my Angie's list coupon. Told me how the ballasts had come to wear out so soon. At the end, showed me how to install overhead fan light w/out extra charge. I would ask for him by name next time. I've found my electrician!"

"I found a deal on Angie's List for $60 for one hour of electrical work (half the normal rate I think). &nbsp;I called them to schedule the job, and the technician came right when he was scheduled to. &nbsp;He did a great job removing my old chandelier and replacing it with the new one. &nbsp;He finished in just under an hour, so there were no additional fees. &nbsp;I will definitely call them the next time I need electrical work done. <br />"

"Jeremy first came and checked out what the job would entail. He is a very pleasant and professional person.&nbsp; Abe then came in and started the installations.&nbsp; They consulted with me about details about the height of a chandelier, and it turned out to look perfect.&nbsp; The other lights were installed- Abe was also pleasant and professional, and did a very good job of working steadily and finishing a bit early.&nbsp; I would use Got Watts again, without question.&nbsp; This is the second time that I have used them."

"We were noticing flickering lights in our house for sometime. Recently the GFCI in my laundry room would trip and shut off power to large sections of the house. Nothing short of restting multiple GFCI and resetting the main breaker would restore the power immediately. The tripping would happen uncorrelated to load conditions and sometime would come back on its own. I replaced the GFCI myself but it did not correct the problem. While resetting the breaker, I could feel it arch and so I decided to call-in the professionals.&nbsp;I subscribed to Angie's list just for this and called someone who had done work in the geographical area and was listed as being familiar with Solar and EV since I have both of this in the house. <br /> Seth from Switched electric was available on the call and gave a reasonable&nbsp;estimate&nbsp;and same day&nbsp;appointment. At the &nbsp;appointed time Nathan showed up, opened up the breaker box and clearly explained to me what was causing the arching and why we will have to put in a new breaker at a new position.He took a picture and sent it over the phone to get a second opinion. &nbsp;I &nbsp;liked the methodical and logical fashion in which he isolated the problem so that we fix the correct problem. Then he provided a cost estimate for the service, went and purchase the part and installed it. &nbsp;He also suggested a better wiring option so that GFCI in the laundry room would not trip master bedroom and rewired it. &nbsp;He rewired an outdoor lamp that would not turn on due to faulty photo-cell. <br /> At the end the bill was&nbsp;extremely&nbsp;reasonable. I waited a week to write a review to make sure that the problem was resolved and it is. <br /> I highly recommend Switched Electric for methodical, punctual and cost-effective service experience. <br />"

"I'm the president of a tiny homeowner's association with extensive DIY experience in building, remodeling, and fixing things in multiple trades. So to save money for our HOA I work directly with vendors to get the work done. This has been a year long project involving, plumbers, painters, electricians, masons, carpenters, landscapers, landscape architects, asphalt contractors, and more. <br /> Since I am just one man (and not paid for my efforts) I wanted many&nbsp;bids and I want to be sure every vendor works off the same spec - apples to apples of course. I created a video showing the job site, the work needing to be done, and a clear description of the ask and posted it to YouTube and contacted a dozen or so electricians.&nbsp;After bidding out to over a dozen of Angie's list electricians, most of whom realized that I knew a enough about electricity that they couldn't b******* me about the complexity of the job, possible issues, materials costs, etc. Ted of Apollo Electric responded within 12 hours with a concise, accurate, and reasonable quote. He seemed to know what he was talking about, wasn't trying to squeeze more money out of me, and was realistic about his schedule and,&nbsp; <em>most importantly</em>, was willing to commit to a specific date, time, and price to complete the job. More on that later. <br /> <hr /> <strong>Sidebar</strong>: After dealing with these dozen electricrian's and other contractors Apollo was a refreshing experience. What is it about electricians (plumbers too it seems, well just about any contractor frankly)? &nbsp;They want to leave the price, scope of the job, and everything else open ended so they (it seems to me the humble consumer) can take me to the cleaners once they have the job half-completed and I have no choice but to pay them. Who do they think they are? Software engineers or something? <br /> Sadly, in some cases I'm talking about friends I've know for decades, licensed contractors from my church that I couldn't nail down on a price or date. It is unconscionable. ? end of rant <br /> <hr /> <br /> Ted and Daniello of Apollo were fantastic. Professional, courteous, easy to work with and flexible and completed what most of the the others said would be 1 to 2 days of work in about 4 hours. Ted is intelligent, honest, and had all the tools and knowledge about codes and requirements that as an HOA we can't afford to have mistakes made since the liability is not just one homeowner but more than a dozen. We also needed the the work done urgently because the lack of commitment on the part of other electricians (many bailing out at the last minute presumably because they got better paying jobs) meant our landscapers ground to a halt to finish their work. So he set the date for June 1st, but was willing if time permitted to do it on Memorial day. I offered a modest bonus if they would get it done on the holiday. They called me that Monday and they accomodated me having to scramble to prepare things for them to get the job done. <br /> So, I highly recommend Apollo Electric for your electrical needs. They are not cheap but not over-priced either. But speaking from experience the odds of you getting the cheapeast price <em>and</em>&nbsp;the best work is really, really, slim these days. Most guys don't care about their integrity, quality of work, or their reputation. Apollo Electric is a refreshing exception to this trend. We will be using them for all of our electrical work in the future as an HOA, and I intend to use them for some work on my house this summer as well that I could probably do myself, but I was so imporesed with Ted and his crew that it is worth it to me to just delegate the work and know that it will be done right. <br />"

"It was pretty good. They were really really nice. I thought they did an adequate job, but it wasn't quite up to what I was hoping. It was a very easy and basic thing and the guy came with the wrong color of light switch. We have beige and he brought white. So he had to go back. Then, we had him replace something else and he got a bulb that looks really bad inside the lamp. I thought that wasn't very good. Then, he gave me a quote for some future work which I thought was very high. But he was extremely nice and cordial and very professional. He was very responsive."
