Electrical Switches, Outlets & Fixtures - Install or Repair
Very friendly appt coordination with main office and quick service dispatch (same day). My electrician "Dimas" was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He fixed a bad wire in my fuse box and double-checked other potential issues. I highly recommend him and Wilcox for your fuse box repair.

Wilcox Electric did a great job for us installing an outdoor GFCI outlet and running a protected cord back to our electrical panel. Chris Doyle arranged for the service and inspection, and David Settimi did the actual installation. David had good ideas about how to place the outlet and wiring. I recommend them highly for electrical services. Outstanding service.
Response from Wilcox Electric LLC
"Thank you for taking the time to post this review! We appreciate the kind words. David is indeed a good electrician who understands how to balance efficiency and effectiveness along with the aesthetics of an electrical installation. Let's be honest, the most discrete application tends to be best when dealing with electrical wiring. I am glad to hear that our employees worked well together to provide an outstanding service. Tracy Wilcox"

Two friends recommended Wilcox and I'm glad I went with them. I don't think they're the cheapest, but they know what they're doing and I've been a homeowner long enough to know that is worth a lot. Jermaine was the electrician who did the work and I couldn't be more pleased. He was able to install two more circuits in my kitchen by just cutting a hole in the ceiling and fishing the wires back. I thought he was going to have to tear up the tile backsplash and/or cabinets. He was good at explaining things and making sure all of my questions were answered. I am so very happy he was able to come up with an undisruptive solution. I will definitely use Wilcox again.

I chose David Settimi of Wilcox Electric out of the ½ dozen recommendations I received from various neighbors in out 100-year-old building in Adams Morgan. In particular was one note that particularly praised David’s work as lead electrician on their heavy-up job: “He was great and it was a tricky job!” My husband and I were impressed with the thoroughness and respect for our requests when he wrote the estimates, and (as a retired project manager at a local printing plant) was pleased to see his attention to detail, starting the job with a tape measure and bubble level. As I texted my brother after David left: "Done on time as promised, exactly the way I wanted, & very little disruption to the cabinet where the circuit breaker panel is. I wish we could depend on people like this all the time."
Response from Wilcox Electric LLC
"Thank you very much for taking the time to submit such a detailed review. It is great to hear the comments about David. He's been with us at Wilcox Electric for 15 years, and has learned the trade with Steve Wilcox and other electricians. David has such a strong aptitude for the electrical work along with the customer service skills that matter in this line of work. We are experienced working with the old wiring in WDC homes. Steve, my husband, has become the "old guard" (when did that happen??), and he works closely with the men in the field. We appreciate your business, and thank you again for the great review!! Tracy Wilcox"

Our tech was great. He listened patiently, was very thorough, and took the time to explain what was going on so we could keep an eye on issues that could potentially arise.

As a Property Manager and Facilities Manager, I have used Wilcox Electric multiple times over the years for the commercial and residential properties that I represent. I have always been very happy with the quality of their work. If you are a Property or Facilities Manager, Wilcox is an excellent partner that will leave you looking good! My experience is that they do high quality work, offer appropriate pricing, easy scheduling and are staffed by professionals in both the field and in the office. This review is because I recently had them do work at my own home and I am beyond happy. I've used them for small personal projects in the past but this time I brought them in to do larger work including a 200 amp heavy up and adding a dedicated circuit for a new stove. They knocked it out of the park! When our home was inspected for purchase 12 years ago, the inspector mentioned that our panel could be a concern. It took me this long to address it. A few months ago Dale performed panel maintenance and helped me understand so much about the power in my home that I decided to have Wilcox come back to do a 200 amp heavy up. Jermaine and Daniel did that work and did a fantastic job. I am so happy with the outcome. Lastly, Nick W came out and installed a dedicated circuit to install a new stove and did a wonderful job. Since I'm a curious customer who asks a lot of questions, he showed me all the components inside the panel and explained what they did. Now, for the first time since we bought the place, I feel absolutely confident in the safety of the power in my home. Based on my recent experiences, I'm planning to have them come back later this year to add some outlets to the exterior of the home and also run power out to my shed. Everyone I have dealt with from scheduling with the office to communicating about estimates and the onsite visits have been top notch. Their staff is professional, knowledgeable and have helped me understand the process at every step. You can rest easy if you choose Wilcox Electric for your project. They're great!

I received a call from Wilcox expressing their interest to bid on my full house electrical rough in job. They then had me pay $50 for the fee to provide an estimate and then scheduled a visit from one of the team. He came by the next week on a Tuesday. He then promised a detailed estimate by Friday of that week. It has been more than two weeks from contact, and in spite of many emails and text reminders, they have failed to provide the estimate ...or even to pick up the phone when I call or respond to emails. Is this company a fraud?
Response from Wilcox Electric LLC
"This is a situation where we over-promised by stating that we could turn around a $30,000 estimate in three days. There was email communication, although clearly we did not handle this sufficiently. We are very sorry to have upset this Member, especially since he did indicate that he wanted a quick turnaround. On Jan 16th, the day of this review, we were finalizing the estimate and did submit it to him by COB."

Wilcox electric did a terrific job! I own a 110 year old Washington, DC row-house. I needed to add and replace several electrical outlets throughout the home.

Great job, great people, came in under budget. Dimas Moran and Nicholas B. installed a 70 amp car charge port and 20 amp receptacle in our garage directly from the meter. A month earlier Wilcox had fixed some ancient wiring in our 1925 DC home, including an innovative solution to a pair of faulty two-way hallway lights with some original wiring. All were professional and courteous. Everyone at Wilcox did a great job. When I had a question about the scope of work in the estimate, Steve came out a second time to make sure I got what I wanted. The electricians, apprentices, and office staff, were all enjoyable to talk with and eager to ensure the job went right. Communication was clear and they consulted with me when there was a question about placement of the conduit and boxes. The results were better than expected. Price was over $600 below the estimate. I did not compare their prices with others, as they came recommended by a neighbor. I would use them again.

I needed a heavy up for a 4 -unit apartment building I have owned in downtown Washington, DC for over twenty years. The company I chose was Wilcox Electric. I am extremely happy with how professional this company treated me. I am senior citizen and each workman I met from Wilcox Electric not only knew their electric business, but each person was so polite and courteous to me. If I did not understand the heavy up process, they explained it to me. One thing which impressed me is that the owner, Steve Wilcox always answers his phone when I call or returns my calls in minutes. This kind of service no matter which trade you are working with is hard to find. I highly recommend Wilcox Electric. Colleen Corrigan Washington, DC.

This crew was amazing! Super professional, friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, you name it. Nick and Nick Naggy did a phenomenal job rewiring my main panel and installing two switched outdoor outlets (as well as cleaning up miscellaneous problems left by the previous home owner.

I own a 110-year-old Washington, DC rowhouse. I contacted Wilcox Electric to move some wiring that had been installed many years ago. The Mr. Wilcox personally came to inspect the job and to discuss various options. The team arrived at the agreed upon time and completed the job as promised. The Wilcox team was professional, efficient, and clean! They were terrific!

Nick and Matt were awesome installing my ceiling fans. The wiring had the wrong screws. They assessed the problem and went to the hardware store to get the correct screws. When they came back, they installed the fans with no issues. I highly recommend them and Wilcox Electric. Also, big thanks to Pria for setting up the appointment.

I had an EV charger installed on the back of my house. The Wilcox techs were on time, extremely professional, and did a very neat installation. They had to run a new line from the front of the house to the back and managed to keep the disruption minimal. I can highly recommend Wilcox Electric!

great very professional
Response from Wilcox Electric LLC
"Thank you for posting a review of your recent service call with Dale. He is our troubleshooting guru, the electrician that all other electricians call upon for the difficult, intractable electrical problems. Dale has been working in residential electrical service for decades. He and my husband Steve Wilcox are now the elders in the trade, passing along their accumulated knowledge of the unique wiring that can be found in the older houses, such as the "Lazy Susan," an older method of wiring up three [Member Information Removed] switches. Dale is also the salt of the earth, and we are grateful to call him ours!"

Arrived on time. Electrician David was very efficient and impressed me as very knowledgeable and competent regarding the old wiring in my 100 year old residence. Highly recommend.
Response from Wilcox Electric LLC
"Thank you so much for acknowledging David's knowledge and competency! He has been with Wilcox Electric for just about 15 years, and started with no serious electrical knowledge. He is mechanically talented/gifted, and has learned a lot from the older electricians in the company about electrical circuitry in Washington, DC houses. Indeed, we specialize in and have great affection for the older homes throughout the city. Tracy Wilcox"

Everything went great - initial customer service rep was very helpful and made scheduling easy. I paid an up-front dispatch fee of $125 that was applied to final cost. Dimas and Nick called within the pre-arranged 2-hour window the day of the work, 30 minutes in advance of showing up. I explained what I needed and they finished the work in 45 minutes, including cleanup. They were both super-friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.

Amazing work!! Dimas Moran and his partner very professional, answer all my questions and explained what they were doing. They got the job done right and efficiently. Cleaned the work area as if I did it! They both were everything I needed and both should get a raise and "Wall of Fame".

Service was excellent across the board from the staff who helped schedule my appointment to the work performed. The electrician Nick arrived on time, was thorough, and patiently answered all of our questions. We will definitely be using Wilcox Electric again and recommend then without hesitation.

"Mr. Dale" as a representative of Wilcox Electric responded to my request to inspect work recently performed by another Angi contractor. Although the contractor that initially performed the work (not affiliated with Wilcox) was professional, I did not feel he had the "older home" electrical knowledge needed to safely and competently complete my project which was confirmed by a concern which caused me to follow-up with Wilcox Electric. "Mr. Dale was very thorough in his inspection and identified SEVERAL discrepancies which were not acceptable electrical practice, not to electrical code, and which most importantly which could pose a fire hazard at some point. "Mr. Dale" recommended a follow up appointment to correct the issues and he returned about a week later with "Mr. Joshua". They worked for several hours pulling new wiring, making the "new" appropriate connections and correctly installing replacement switches. They are the "best"! Wilcox will be my first from now on to get things done right

Jermaine was superb. He was very knowledgeable, helpful and most personable. He resolved our electrical problem quickly and answered several other questions we had regarding our electrical connections. He also has a remarkable memory, remembering our house and its electrical set up from a visit in pre-COVID times. We will be very pleased to have him, and Wilcox Electric, back when we need help.
Response from Wilcox Electric LLC
"Thank you very much for the strong review of Jermaine. He is one of our younger/newer journeymen electricians. He's been a rising star since he first started his apprenticeship, and has steadily advanced in the field. He's also in a good group of experienced journeymen within our company. Thank you for taking the time to post this review. It's always nice when our customers see the excellence that we see in our guys! Tracy Wilcox"
