Testimonials
"Stand up professionals."
Stand up professionals. Job was performed in a professional manner with educated electricians. Happy with the overall service. Honest, integral people, working to grow their local business. Keep up the great work George!
"Without a doubt the best!"
Doc Watts is without a doubt the best electric company in Central Florida. In a professional capacity, I have worked with them to complete electrical installations that range from simple breaker and receptacle replacements to full buildouts of industrial space and a generator as large as 625KWh. George and his crew are flexible, capable, and professional. Don't go here if you are looking for cheap and sloppy labor.
"Their customer service was awesome."
I would have to start by saying how good they treated me! Their customer service was awesome; something you rarely get in Florida. When the guy was done he cleaned up really good, he didn’t leave a mess; I was very appreciative of that! The moment I was even more impressed is when I saw the work he had done. Everything so well measured and placed! So they not only treat you good but also take pride in what they do! From now on these guys are my eletricians!!
"I can wholeheartedly recommend them!"
The team was A+ from the sales process to the final installation/handoff. Professional, efficient, always on time, always responsive, always do what they said they'll do.
This was a fairly major job, and after completion I can wholeheartedly recommend them.

We love to talk shop so we’ve included our most frequently asked questions about wall outlet repair.
How Do You Know It’s Time For Electrical Outlet Repair?
There are several signs that your outlet will give you that it’s ready to be repaired or replaced, and you’ll find that most are pretty obvious:
- Discolored plastic - As outlets age, they can become discolored or even melt from heat or short circuits.
- Cord falls out - If you can’t keep your device plugged in, it means your connection isn’t strong which can be a fire hazard.
- Sparks - Your outlet should never spark. It’s a fire hazard and a wall outlet repair is in your near future.
- Smoke - Smoke is a sign that your outlet is short-circuiting and should be looked at by an electrician.
- Burning smells - If you smell burning near your outlet, turn off the power running to it and call an electrician for wall outlet repair.
- Feels hot - When the covering of your wall outlet feels hot, it may be caused by bad wiring.
- Outdated - If your wall outlet only has two-prong openings, it’s time for an upgrade to allow for devices with three-prong plugs. Fun fact: Three-prong outlets are called grounding receptacles because they allow a grounding wire to be connected from the appliance to the electrical circuit.
- GFCI doesn’t trip - A GFCI that doesn’t trip can be a fire hazard and you likely should have our team quote you for electrical outlet replacement.
How Much Does Electrical Outlet Replacement Cost?
This number is a combination of parts and labor and varies widely depending on the job. However, the electrical outlet itself is typically inexpensive.
Not sure what’s going on with your electrical system? We can help. Our team of electricians at Doc Watts Electric can evaluate your outlets and recommend some models for you to consider. If you’re looking to upgrade your standard electrical outlets, these are a few of your options:
- Outlets with USB charge ports.
- Outlets with USB-C charge ports.
- Smart outlets with Wi-Fi capabilities.
- Outlets with nightlights.
- And more
Once your electrical outlet replacement has been selected, the rest of your invoice will be labor costs. Your final bill will depend on the scope of work and how long it takes to complete. At Doc Watts Electric, we can work with a variety of budgets and we will work with yours.
