"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.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installation
Are you ready to give your home garage an eco-friendly boost? An electric car is a smart economic choice, but speedy charging will require more than a standard electrical socket. Let Doc Watts Electric take on all your EV charging station needs, from home installation to repair.
Having a home electric vehicle (EV) charging station is a must if you are an electric car owner. Did you know nearly 80% of owners charge their electric vehicles at home? Read on for everything you should know about EV chargers and the installation and repair process, so you can ensure your garage is set up for sustainable success!
EV Charging Station Installation
During installation, a Doc Watts Electric licensed electrician will set up your EV charging station properly, with all the precautions to ensure your installation is safe and secure.
Your electrician will:
- Inspect all equipment for manufacturer defects.
- Evaluate your garage or site to ensure compatibility with EV charging.
- Install an electrical system upgrade including a new circuit to accommodate the higher power draw.
- Set up your EV charging system.
- Conduct a start-up inspection to ensure the system complies with regulation and usage laws, and operates smoothly.
EV Charging Station Repair
If you use your EV charger a lot, it has a higher chance of breaking over time. A licensed electrician can look into potential electrical system or device errors that may be preventing your EV charger from working as it should.
These are just a few of the reasons why your EV charger may not work:
- Standard wear-and-tear.
- A damaged EV cord (run over by a car).
- Thermal cycle stress or a failed semiconductor.
- Electrical damage caused by an improper installation.
If your EV charger isn’t working but you aren’t sure the cause, call Doc Watts Electric. We’ll get a licensed electrician out to evaluate your system and deliver a fast and cost-effective repair plan.
Levels of EV Chargers
There are two charging levels available for home EV use, depending on your power supply and desired charging speed.
- Level One - This is a standard charger for your electric vehicle, so it uses a normal outlet and doesn’t require any type of installation. However, these are very slow and can sometimes take more than 20 hours to fully charge your vehicle.
- Level Two - This type of charger should be installed by a professional electrician because it requires a new volt circuit. This level can fully charge in three hours and is arguably the most popular option for home garages.
A level two EV charger works by pulling an electrical current from a 240 voltage box that safely waits to send power to the plug until use.
Why Do I Need an EV Charger?
There are many places—gas stations, parking garages, and more—that offer EV charging stations. However, it’s risky (and time consuming) to rely on those for your primary main source. A fast, permanently-installed EV charging station will guarantee you are able to conveniently charge your car at any point while you go about your day-to-day routine.
