We've had many great experiences with David Williams Electric through the years. They are responsive, professional, capable, and honest. This time Matt and Lamont identified and replaced a faulty transformer issue causing a hum in our circuit panel, installed an A/V security doorbell, and repaired/replaced 2 bathroom fans for us. They did a fantastic job, even going to get some spare parts to save us as much as possible on the total costs. Thank you again!!

Just had David Williams Electric come out. One circuit was out so I thought it was bad GFI outlet or bad breaker. Ended up being a different bad outlet that was flaky. Less than 1 hour to find the problem and fix it. Gabriel did an excellent job. Could have taken hours to track down everything on the circuit so I was happy he found it. He also reconnected the GFI I had removed in trying to find the problem and cleaned up the wiring. Very friendly and explained everything as he went along.

Came out day/time promised. Installed two outdoor lights as promised, $200 total. While they were here I asked them to check a CFGI outlet that stopped working. I had checked the reset switch on the two connected outlets. They quickly (1-2 mins) found a third outlet I wasn't aware of. They flipped the reset switch, bringing to bear all their electrical skills to do so, and charged me an EXTRA $65. They lost an opportunity to leave with me thinking what a stand-up company this is. Instead, they left me thinking I'll have to search for a less petty, more service oriented company next time.

I used David Williams for a problem with two outside outlets.When the guys showed up, the service technician, David, one of the co-owners told me we needed to find the GFI, probably in the basement. We searched every room for the GFI and finally found it in the cubby hole under the stairs. Great team, arrived on time, professional staff, curteous, and respectful of myself and the property. They took off there shoes when requested. David also helped troubleshoot a problem with the ADT video doorbell. ADT was coming the next day but his input, saved time and money for me with the ADT service team. I would definitely use them again.

I have used David Williams as my electrician multiple times over several years. His work has always been excellent. The long and winding road of this episode is that he installed three ceiling fans for me. He later replaced 2 fans for me twice with no charge. I was unhappy with the fans not the quality of the work. I was truly amazed. So you know they stand by their work.

First, let me say that as an English major, I know nothing about electrical repair. That said, this electrical company takes the time to educate and speak to me as an equal. I have called not even knowing where the switch box was. The owner walked me through the process. Furthermore, on the occasions when they have come to the house, they have transparently shown me what they are doing, and told me future steps that could prevent a similar malfunction. In an age when we are all so busy, this company takes the time to educate you and fix electrical needs quickly and efficiently. Thank you. -Lisa S, Ellicott City, MD

Mr. Williams is a top-notch, high-character guy who knows his stuff. He attracts good talent and helps train youngsters in the electrical trade. We've had him and his team work on various projects in our home over the years, and they are always dependable, thorough, professional, and skilled. Although the team's prices aren't the lowest, you know what you're getting and that quality of work and peace of mind is worth it. When I think electrician, I think Dave and that's why I will call him next and every time I need electrical work done.

We would definitely not recommend this company. The receptionist told us they would be here for 1 to 1.5 hours and the charge would be $165-$235. They stayed only 45 minutes (one electrician and one college-student assistant who just handed the electrician tools) and charged us $235, although they did not fix any one of the 4 things we hired them to do. They told us that one fixture needed a new transformer. I asked them if they could order one for us, and they said no. I asked where we could order one, and they said they did not know. The electrician gave me an estimate of the size of the transformer. After he left, my husband and I had to climb a ladder and unfasten the cover of the fixture ourselves to double-check the size, and the electrician was off by a few tenths of an inch, which makes a difference with something like this. The electrician did some work on our nonworking outlets but left the job abruptly, saying he had to go to another job. He did "fix," temporarily, one of our other lights, but he said we should replace the fixture ourselves and that his temporary fix might only last for an hour. Our advice is to hire a company that will give a free estimate so you don't waste money and time having someone come out who is not going to fix what you want fixed without charging you for another visit. And find a company that feels confident that they can buy a transformer for you or at least show you what you need to buy and let you buy it yourself.
Response from David Williams Electric
"She was a customer that you couldn't please no matter what. I even told her to send whatever she though was fair for the service and that would be fine. As of today, she hasn't sent any payment. What she said in her review above isn't true at all. We did 2098 jobs last year. When this call came in I had a feeling not to take the job and I was right."

Everything was performed perfectly. David responded immediately to my Angie's list RFP and scheduled the work the same week. The electricians arrived on time, did everything as agreed-to, and cleaned up completely. They did a great job.

Initial contact, estimates, and the job itself all went very smooth. They arrived on the day and time promised. The work was well done and the price reasonable. The installer encountered an unexpected below ground interference, called me to let me know, but otherwise resolved the issue himself, handling a BG&E inspection (that in itself was something of a problem), then finished the job leaving the site clean. Would use them again anytime.

David was excellent. I found them couple years ago through Angie's List and I used them 3-4 times since then. They will be my electrician forever.

Dave and his brother Vernon did a super job. Came right on time, immediately assessed the project and proceed to install the chandelier. Very professional, clean, efficient and polite. We have a great experience and would definitely rehire Dave Williams. Strongly recommend them to anybody who needs electrical jobs being done professionally and fast. Thank you Dave!

David Williams Electric is a highly professional company. The electrician arrived on time, worked very efficiently, cleaned up very well, and was very courteous. I really like this company because they are a small company so we knew exactly who was going to be entering our home! Thank you David Williams Electric!

My home was a new construction and the builder’s electrical contractor said to put in an outlet after he finished wiring the entire house would be as difficult as pulling teeth. I called David Williams after I closed on the house and when the team arrived, they inspected the area and said it CAN be done. The work was completed in maybe an hour. It has been about 6 months and everything is going great. This is my go to electrical company from now on because they actually possess excellent problem solving skills.

The electrician was on time and efficient. He discussed what he was doing and why, was careful about aligning the flood lights to the desired location, discussed the operation choices of the flood light, and cleaned up when he was finished. Both lights work great.

David Williams was a super nice guy, very efficient, prompt and knowledgeable. Would hire again. Finding a consistent, reliable, skilled person/company in the trades is always challenging and hopefully David Williams will be there for a long time
