I called Duke energy and they called Gowdy Electric to come out to see what was wrong with electrical outlets. The company called, set appointment and showed up on time, The gentleman introduced hisself and I explained the problems we were having, when he finished he made sure we were satisfied with everything. I recommend this company for anyone with electrical problems Thank you again Gowdy's Electric
Gowdy electric will always be my electrician source going forward. They were beyond professional, gave a reasonable quote for the work to be performed scheduled the appointment once approved and sent a fabulous Electrician - Jason. Jason went above and beyond everything was cleaned up beautifully, and he even pulled out a pipe from the ground that had an extension cord through it and plugged it into the new plug for us. One of my dogs wanted to go home with him and wouldn’t leave his side. Normally, the dogs would be left in a dog yard, but Jason was very comfortable with the dogs and Welcome to their company. I can’t stress enough the excellent service and professional work they have done. I plan on building an accessory building soon-They will get the job, hands-down.
What an amazing experience with Gowdy Electric! The professionalism is superb and the work completed in my home is even better!!! Rodney is The Best!!! Thank you!!
They did a great job. Showed up on time. Got the job done in the time they had estimated. Final cost was the exact same as the estimate. Everything is working well now.
Service was great, very professional and courteous. Thank you for your service.
We have used Gowdy Electric.several times for repairs as well as new installations. They are friendly and dependable, and I recommend them to my friends!!
Just want to give a shout out and thanks to Todd for righting the wrong of another so called electrician. He arrived early, was professional, he took the time to explain the problem and was able to resolve it. I’ll definitely recommend Gowdy Electric to my friends and neighbors and will reach back out for future projects.
Hooked me up. I had two companies come out Gowdy being the second and that really made me appreciate the difference in professionalism and the customer experience I received from them in comparison to one of their competitors. Scott solved my power issue in no time and Jessie came out to do the installation for my new wattages and these guys really cared about their work. I'm a firm believer in being YOUR best if you're going to do something and I experienced that with this crew. Thank you guys! Will be in-touch.
