"I needed help with a "chirping" smoke alarm unit. Daniel was both knowledgeable and personable. Will use H. E. S. again if I need other electrical service."
"Jeremy was the contractor who installed my Solar power system on my garage. He was fast, professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Left no mess and was able to answer all my questions. He's going to be my go-to guy for any electrical work I may need in the future."
"I had a great experience with WATTZU ELECTRIC INC. They installed new lights and outlets in my home, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and paid attention to the details. Everything was done safely, neatly, and exactly how I wanted it. It’s hard to find reliable electricians these days, but I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing electrical work."
"High level of integrity & honesty; clear & mutually-respectful, timely communication; conscientious, diligent & focused workers with high skill level; passed all state electrical inspections related to work the first time. This job included electrical wiring & circuit upgrades for the kitchen too."
"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."
"The team arrived as scheduled. Alex & Tyler worked well as a team. They installed ceiling fans which we had purchased ahead of time. They had to put in fan boxes for all 3. Also we had to replace 2 bathroom fans. They supplied one of those. Lastly we needed outlets on our porch. They were able to get all this done in about half a day. We were super impressed with the ease of setting up the assessment, scheduling the work and completion of the job. The prices fit our budget. We were not pressured into additional work. In the future we are planning more upgrades around our place and we will be calling Mr Electric again. Than you Alex & Tyler for doing such a great job."

"I'm very impressed. My house was built in 2024 and they came out to do the electrical. Most of it was done, but do to things needing to be done before they could finish, it became a long process. My husband passed away, and they had to work with me. They have been with me along the way. It's now 2026 and they are finishing everything up. I am thankful for honest people. I would recommend this company to people. Kim Campbell Springdale Wa."

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.
Several signs can indicate a light switch is bad. If the switch feels loose, slides down after you flip it, or requires multiple flicks to turn the light on, it may be failing. Other common indicators include flickering lights or a general failure to turn the light on or off. Pay attention to any unusual sounds, such as crackling, buzzing, or popping when you operate the switch. More serious signs, which can present a fire or shock hazard, include the switch feeling excessively warm or hot, sparking, smoking, or emitting a burning smell. If you notice any of these dangerous signs, stop using the switch immediately and call an electrician.
Moving an electrical meter in your home depends on what your electric utility company allows. If you only want to move it a few inches, that may be no problem or only incur light fees. If you want to move it a significant distance, you may need to arrange a utility inspection and get permission, or your utility company may prevent it altogether.
You can plug your electric car into a regular 120-volt household outlet only if you’re using a Level 1 charger. This method is slower and may take several days to fully charge your EV. For faster charging, you’ll need a Level 2 charger, which requires a 220- or 240-volt outlet.
The color code for the common sprinkler wire is white, and then you can assign the remaining color codes to the rest of the wires for different sprinkler zones. For example, you could use red for the first zone, then blue for the second, and so on.
Color-coding helps you keep track of which wires go to specific zones so that you or a pro can address any issues or repairs quickly. Check your local electrical code for any requirements regarding sprinkler wire colors.
