Sent someone quicky. He installed new plugs in the outlet. A few days later, when I opened the faceplate, the plugs were in there crooked. I called the co. They sent the same person even though I requested not to. At first, he told me that was the best it was going to get, but after I argued a bit, he finally put them in straight. I will never call this co. Again

Six years ago, I had Dowdy electric install a Kohler standby generator. Rob, their technician instantly came to the house when I needed emergency service work on the generator. rob has always explained the hows and whys of the work that needed to be done. One hot July day Rob came to the house sweated for 6 hours to detect a bug in the software that monitors the generator. This guy is a rare gem!

Wanted to get an interlock installed on my breaker panel so I can hook up my generator during power outages. David came by for a FREE inspection. They gave a curtesy call 30 minutes prior to arrival and he was ON TIME! He was very knowledgeable and nice. I scheduled my appointment and the day of my appointment, they called again approximately 30 minutes prior to arrival and they arrived on time. Raymond was phenomenal!

Very courteous and respectful and fun. His work was good. He installed a brand new break panel, grounded the electric, and left it looking good! He cleaned up the work area and tested each breaker and did everything right. Highly recommend this company!

We had an estimate done to replace our whole HVAC system. They were prompt and had excellent communication skills. They explained things in a way without talking down to me. He was thorough and detailed. Appreciated the high level of respect and consideration.

Wonderful service and installation of a backup generator! It has worked flawlessly for over 6 months. I would highly recommend them if you need electrical service for your property!

Unfortunately cannot provide a good review for Dowdy Electric. We had them out to quote the install of a new outlet above our microwave (and hang the microwave) and they quoted us at $760. The competition came out and did it for $315. Our technician was very nice and professional, however I cannot get over the ridiculous quote to install an outlet and microwave.

Electrician was very polite and conscientious. We had two outdoor lights, a receptacle and a ceiling fan installed in a pavilion. He did good job of making sure the wiring was neat and asked questions along the way to ensure we got exactly what we wanted.

Great at what they do. I most especially appreciated how in tune Dowdy was to my needs. The power line from the fuse panel to our pool pump went out due to less a less than professional installation (running it through a metal conduit underground, prior to my purchase of the house of course). With both the Skimmer and Filter dead, I was concerned with algae build up if not resolved ASAP and I was looking to get an electrician get this done within the next business day. Contacted several through Angie's List. Dowdy was the ONLY one that was answered my needs.

Their man was at my house THAT afternoon (Friday) with look at the work and a quote. Knowing the immediate need, and with my hiring of them later that afternoon, he was back here today (Monday) at 1pm and took care of me. Highly recommend your man David, he was with friendly, professional, and answered all of my questions and he exceeded my expectations as well. Thank you!

The service men that came to install our attic fan were quite friendly and did work very quickly. The concern with this service was more on the selection of fan as Dowdy chose it and did not confer with my wife or I that it would meet our standards and the. Has yet to rectify any of the issues with the product after a return visit and one more scheduled.

I recently had a whole house generator installed. From the initial contact to the project completion, the entire Dowdy team was friendly, professional and helpful. When Bud came over for the initial discussions, I had a list of questions prepared. He handed me information that answered many of them before I even asked. During installation, the team was friendly and efficient.

They worked hard to keep the site clean during and after installation. We are extremely pleased to have this backup power source and we would highly recommend Dowdy Electric!

I can say that I had one of the most disappointing customer service experiences today thanks to Dowdy Electric, Heating & Cooling Co. PLEASE READ to avoid this happening to you or yours. My mom called to have an outlet repaired. Unfortunately for her, it the outlet was a GFI. Simple push of the button and it was reset. The technician was there no longer than five minutes.

She was charged $99 for this service. I understand the need for trip charges. Albeit, $99 seems like an exorbitant amount for a minimum. I would be okay had she been told that there was a minimum charge or trip charge when she set up the appointment. And the company admittedly said they do not tell customers unless they ask when I called to complain. Lying by omission is still lying in my opinion! Leaving out information that may influence a customer's decision on choosing your service is nothing less.

In the interest of full disclosure, they did offer 10% back when I called. I declined. The offering of a discount, though it was minimal, is an admission of wrong doing in my book. I encourage you to think twice before using this company. Thank you to those that read this far for allowing me to vent to you. Sorry that this was so long, but when it feels as though your family was taken advantage of it stings a bit.

Dowdy came out to give us a quote for electrical fixes because of a moving inspection. Andrew came and put everything back in working order. He was great! The fixes were quick considering there were quite a few, reasonably priced.

I was in need of an electrician to install my Ring Pro doorbell. After a few calls, Dowdy was able to do the install the next day. I was very impressed with Dowdy. They were able to meet my needs, and I was very happy with the entire process. The electrician came out, and the install was completed in less than 45mins. He was also very professional and a pleasure to deal with! I would definitely call Dowdy again should I have a need for electrical work. I would like to thank everyone at Dowdy for a job well done!

These people are not good people. I was told I have the job, but work was rescheduled so it would be about a month. I would call in every once and a while for different things and would never get an answer. they assured me I had a job. I called to get a simple letter of hire to move into an apartment and it took three days before they told me Bruce didn't know he hired me and already filled the position. he wasted my time. three weeks. Bruce Dowdy is a liar and a snake and will screw you over too. how he acts and behaves translates into his product. he told me himself he doesn't have a ton of seasoned sparkies and most of them are in house trained. I'd hate to follow the hack work I'm sure is put out.
