Update: Didn't install the ground wire correctly. The bonding bridge was screwed into the wall and…read morenot connected to anything, including the ground wire. There is no connection to neutral. I was also told the backfilled dirt would "settle", and it sank further into the hole. Now there is a divot and the ground rod is exposed. Hired to add a ground rod. Guys showed up on time and worked quickly, though I did have to remind them to backfill the lawn properly (initially just left a hole there, and the ground rod was barely covered). Dealing with Dave Watkins was a whole other experience. Told him I was going with a different electrician I had worked with prior, and he made many assurances that he would definitely beat the price (told me the range provided on Yelp was "just a number," which was the first red flag). On the day of the service, refused to talk to me on the phone or via text when I asked to discuss the price. Then one week later, gave a price that was higher than initially discussed and that I should reference an "invoice" he sent (he never sent one). When I attempted to discuss the pricing with him, finally, he became aggressive and threatened to put a lien on my house. He then stated that he stands by the quote even if it was half a million dollars. His reason for a higher price was "extra work"; in fact we had discussed the work ahead of time, and it was a standard part of the job (a bonding bridge), making me concerned that he would not have completed the job with required parts if I hadn't reminded him to add it. My experience of working with Dave Watkins is that he will make empty promises, not communicate properly, come up with invoices after the fact, claim that things have happened which did not, and escalate to threats instead of having a conversation with people. I eventually paid the bait and switch amount that he demanded after his threats, but I would hate for anyone else to end up in that position. I would never work with this company again.

Our Living Room and Bedroom lights were very dim. We contacted Watkins Electrical Services to…read moreinstall can lights in both rooms. Not only was the job completed quickly the crew was very professional and cleaned up when they finished. The can lights look beautiful! I highly recommend Watkins Electrical Services.

Advanced Facilities was contacted in September 2023 by my fiancé and I regarding an electrical…read moreoutlet installation. The outlet needed was a NEMA 14-50 with conduit that supported 50amp and up to 60amp. This outlet was solely for the purpose of charging an electric vehicle. Advanced Facilities requested information regarding our household appliances, such as the Microwave, Garbage disposal, Stove, Heat Pump, among many other things. All we requested was an outlet. We received a response on 09/29: "This information is needed in order to provide the Inspection Authority the load calculations for your residence and for the addition of the EV charger and ultimately, their inspection." Why this information pertains to us and the outlet is beyond me. I would have gotten to know more if we hadn't then received a follow-up email that stated: 10/19: "Gents, We still await IBI's response to our submittal of your load calculations. They are painfully slow, and unfortunately, we can't force the issue. We'll contact you as soon as we have word on progress." After consulting some other electricians and doing some research, we discovered that we had been waiting far too long. We sent an email: 10/27 "IBI has had over three weeks to do what we understood should take a relatively minimal amount of time. Are there any steps we can take while we wait, or is there another route we can go at this point to move forward?" This was then followed up with: 10/27: "Gents, If we did move forward without an approval from the inspection authority, and they, after the fact, deem the work unfeasible due to the size of your service, or other issue, it will be for nothing. I will call them and see just what the hold-up is....and I agree, this is indeed taking too darned long. I'll be in touch." And then on 10/30: "Gents, I have been wading thru the bureaucracy at IBI this morning.....hope to have an answer soon. I'll let you know as soon as I get word. Just wanted to make sure you're kept in the loop. We were never kept in the loop. It is now almost December, and they never got back to us. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Had someone come out to give me a quote for electrical work at my business. Got tons of requests to…read moreleave a positive review. Never received the written quote. Another company came out and they charged less to do the job than Mr Sparky charged for the quote!

On 10/8, Mr. Sparky's technician provided me with a bid for $3,550, which required extensive demo…read morework thru my garage drywall & basement ceiling/drilling thru a wall, just to get my electric range working. He recommended I contact Mr. S's sister co./Ben Franklin, so a plumber could find & suggest running a gas line to my range, & he said they'd be able to see his notes. I paid $139 for this visit. His own notes are factually incorrect. The invoice even says "DIAGNOSTIC AFTER HOURS" and Mr. Sparky's technician failed to correctly diagnose the issue, so I didn't get what they charged me for. On 10/9, the Ben Franklin plumber came for 5 minutes, said there wasn't a simpler or cheaper option thru a gas line & left with another $139. On 10/10, Bryant HVAC& Electric came by: the Bryant technician fixed the issue in 45 minutes, for $225 TOTAL. The real problem was that I needed a new junction box installed where the existing Wadsworth panel was. My electric range immediately started working. I am horrified by how Mr. Sparky tried to scam me, & got me to pay another $139 after-hours fee to profit a sister co. If this isn't a scam preying on single, female, minority homeowners, then it is EXTREME incompetence. I have shared my experiences and the e-invoices with my male colleagues & friends, they're all shocked but their unanimous opinion is "I think Mr. Sparky tried to take advantage of you because you're a woman." I have instant messaged, completed a survey, and called requesting refunds for BOTH fees of $139. I have the invoices from Sparky, B.F. and Bryant documenting how dishonest Sparky was/corroborating the vastly different work scopes & costs. NO RESPONSE FROM MR. SPARKY CINCINNATI, probably bc this is how they "train" their people: To price-gauge, mislead and lie. It absolutely chills me to the bone that I was going to have so much damage to my garage and basement and be out almost $4k for THE WRONG DIAGNOSIS. I feel like I need to share these invoices and warn others of how BAD my experience was. Absolutely awful, AVOID MR. SPARKY CINCINNATI AT ALL COST. Mr. Sparky shouldn't get to avoid accountability or neglect its duty to its customers by hiding behind anonymity.
