"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."

There are three main wires on a doorbell, typically color-coded white, black, and green, that are connected to a transformer box in your home. One wire runs to the doorbell button, another wire runs to the door chime, and the third wire runs between the doorbell button and the door chime.
If you have a lamp that flickers or doesn’t stay on, it’s a sign that it’s time to rewire it. Additionally, it’s important to rewire antique lamps so they’re safe to continue using without the risk of an electrical fire. If the plug on your lamp is more than 15 years old or you notice poor performance like flickering, you should hire a lamp repair service to rewire it. If you’re upgrading the bulbs in an antique lamp from incandescent to LED or CFL bulbs, rewire it so it’s compatible with the modern bulbs.
You can install a three-prong outlet without connecting any ground and plug in three-prong electronics into that outlet. The devices will function normally, but you won’t get any of the protection that grounding provides, so there’s an increased risk of serious problems if something goes wrong.
No, both switches do not need to be on for a 3-way switch to work. When the two switches are in opposite positions, the circuit is open and the light is off. Flipping either switch closes the circuit and turns the light on. So, either switch can turn the light off independently, and both switches do not need to be in the same position for the switch to function.
Circuit breakers can wear out, but it takes a long time. Circuit breakers typically last several decades if they don’t face problems like floods or frequent lightning storms. Worn-out circuit breakers may trip more frequently as time passes. However, they can also stop tripping altogether, which leads to electrical dangers. If your breakers have passed the 30-year mark, it’s time to consider an inspection.
