We are installing solar ourselves and needed the main panel changed to accommodate for the upgrade. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to do it myself so I started looking at getting an electrician to do the work. I've been in the commercial refrigeration business for 20+ years so I know quite a few electricians and wouldn't trust most of them to touch my house, the ones I know do good work didn't have the time. I received several bids and decided to go with Nate. I told him upfront that I was picky and would be a royal pain if I didn't like the job. I told him what I needed done, what panel I preferred, how I expected it to be done, etc... Nate delivered on everything I asked for. He did a fantastic job! If you need an electrician call Nathan Watkins, he'll give you a fair price and he does good work. Thanks again Nate! read more

Nate Watkins, of Watkins Electric did an outstanding job installing an upgrade electric panel for our new solar system. What a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We noted that he had received many rave reviews and now add ours to his impressive list. He is thorough and knows his craft. Besides that, he has the customer's best interest at heart and every step along the way he does the right thing. I liked his on line system for the quote and contract, too. You couldn't ask for a nicer person or higher quality craftsmanship than when you deal with Nate. By the way, his price is very reasonable. We feel lucky to have found him! and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Mary G. read more

Nathan did an excellent job for us! He installed several recessed lighting in a lower level bedroom, where there's no ceiling access. We were amazed on how he was able to fish through the ceiling with only having to do couple of cut outs. Once completed, he patched the drywall properly and matched the same finishing to the ceiling...it's as if nothing was ever done to it. He also installed an outlet into a shed and a light switch along with an exterior outlet. He far exceeded our expectations!!! He was thorough, reliable, and very professional. He prepped the work site and left it the way he found it. Don't hesitate to use his services! He's a true professional and knows what he's doing! read more

Doing a kitchen remodel. Needed 220 circuit run for induction cook top, wiring run for patio ceiling fans, some outlets added and some outlets moved. Also wanted the work inspected. Got Nathan's information from Home Advisor. Nathan came to our home listen to our needs, made suggestions, and verified our construction time line. Most importantly Nathan completed the work when it was needed, in a way that did not conflict with the other craftsmen. read more

Fantastic and very trustworthy. As we were chatting, Nathan was replacing our ceiling fan and I noticed that the manuals were with me. I said, "you really know what you're doing because the instruction book is with me". He needed no guidance and seemed like he was on automation as he assembled the unit. Nathan is very polite, knows his stuff, very neat, and leaves no mess! I would easily have him back to finish our projects...you should too! read more

Nathan responded to the referral from Home Depot within minutes, I'd guess, called me, made himself available to do the work THAT DAY, and there we go. What seemed like a big, convoluted repair issue got taken care of PDQ. And Nathan was kind and helpful on the telephone, even when I couldn't tell him some things he needed to know. Our family is grateful to him/Watkins Electric for stepping up and getting the job done. Thank you, thank you. read more

He was on time, polite, quick, and his price was very reasonable. He said he covers all of El Dorado County.

Nathan Watkins and Watkins Electric is an asset to the community. We added a small detached garage to our property.

Besides providing great professional work, he is a very nice guy. We highly recommend Watkins Electric. read more
