Amplified Electric: Full Review (Backed by Data)

License and Legitimacy: Is Amplified Electric Legit?

Yes, by every verifiable measure Best In MoCo checked. Amplified Electric holds Texas electrical contractor license TECL 33646, issued to AMPLIFIED ELECTRIC LLC, with a status of Active and an expiration date of 07/08/2027. The master electrician on record is BARRENTINE, TERRY D #51089 (exp 7/26/2027). An Active TDLR electrical contractor license means the company is legally authorized to perform electrical work in the state of Texas.

Two names appear in the record and both are worth stating. Daniel Pett is the company's founder and Managing Partner. The TDLR master electrician of record is Terry D. Barrentine. Those are two different roles — the person who runs the company and the master electrician whose license the company's contractor license operates under — so there is no contradiction.

For a homeowner doing a gut check, the scam question is really a paperwork question: does a real, licensed company stand behind the name? Here the paperwork checks out. The TDLR license is Active and verifiable through the state's LicenseSearch. The Google listing shows 4.7 stars across 28 reviews. Nothing in the license record or the review aggregates indicates a scam operation.

One honest caveat applies to every license check on this site: TDLR records change, so recheck the current status with TDLR before hiring any electrician.

What Amplified Electric Does

Amplified Electric is a residential and commercial electrical contractor based in Willis, Texas. The following services come directly from the company's own website:

• Residential electrical services, including new home wiring, lighting installations, and electrical repairs
• Commercial electrical services, including wiring, lighting, system upgrades, and maintenance
• Emergency electrical services, available 24/7

The company also has a real industrial-side footprint. Its Procore contractor profile shows 47 projects with an average project size around $1.07 million, and the company joined the platform in March 2023. That matters for fit: this is not a two-truck residential-only shop. It handles larger commercial and industrial work alongside residential jobs, which is a different profile than most of the contractors it was ranked against.

Amplified Electric is based in Willis and was ranked on the Panorama Village page because it serves the area. A business earns a spot on a Best In MoCo page by serving the location accurately, not by having an address inside the city limits.

What the Review Data Shows

Best In MoCo pulled the 18 newest Google reviews for Amplified Electric. The numbers:

Three things are worth stating plainly. First, the pulled newest-first sample averaged 4.56, which sits below the lifetime 4.7. That is a small gap and it comes from a small sample, but it is worth one honest sentence rather than silence. Second, the review volume is thin: 28 Google reviews is a modest base, and the 18-review pull covered most of the visible history. A homeowner weighing Amplified Electric has less public track record to evaluate than they would with a larger competitor. Third, the Yelp footprint is a profile with zero reviews — the company is the only one of the three Panorama Village finalists with any Yelp presence at all, but there is nothing to read there yet.

The recurring topics in the pulled reviews were efficiency (3 mentions), quick install (2), promptness (2), courteousness (2), staff (2), company (2), and installation (2). All 15 topic mentions were positive.

Best In MoCo does not quote individual reviews in its guides. The counts above are the data; what individual customers wrote is available on the review platforms themselves.

BBB Record

No BBB profile exists for Amplified Electric's Willis, Texas business. That is a neutral fact, not a red flag: the BBB only tracks businesses that have a profile in its system, and many legitimate contractors never create one. It does mean there is no BBB complaint history to check, so a homeowner's due diligence rests on the TDLR record and the review platforms instead.

A note to avoid confusion: a web search may surface a same-named business in Zimmerman, Minnesota. That is a different company. Best In MoCo did not use it in this review.

Company Background

Amplified Electric, LLC was founded in 2017, giving it about nine years in business. Daniel Pett is the Managing Partner. The business address is 316 E Rogers St, Willis, TX 77378 (shown as 316 E Rogers Rd in some listings), the phone number is (936) 537-8419 (also listed on the TDLR record), and the website is amplifiedelectric.io. The company's owner-claimed Yelp profile describes a team of licensed and bonded electricians, with the owner working as a hands-on technician in the field, serving residential, commercial, and industrial accounts with an emphasis on safety.

How Best In MoCo Scored Amplified Electric

MoCoScore is Best In MoCo's 100-point ranking system. Amplified Electric earned 78.6 points:

The score is carried by a strong satisfaction record (4.7 stars), full marks on consistency and complaint history, and the verified Active TDLR license. The weak spots are honest ones: Confidence scored 8.1 of 15 because 28 reviews is a modest volume, and Recency scored 5.0 of 10 because only one pulled review landed in the last 90 days. Longevity scored 6 of 10 for nine years in business — respectable, but the scale rewards longer track records.

Best Fit

Amplified Electric is a strong fit for homeowners and businesses near Willis and Panorama Village who need residential wiring, lighting, repairs, or 24/7 emergency service from a licensed contractor that also handles serious commercial and industrial work. The thinner review history means a homeowner should lean harder on the direct checks — verify the TDLR license, get a written estimate, and read the available Google reviews — because there is less public track record than with larger competitors.

How Amplified Compares in Panorama Village

Best In MoCo's Panorama Village electricians ranking scored 21 eligible businesses. The top three: NS ELECTRICAL (79.6), Bell Electrical Construction (79.0), and Amplified Electric (78.6). The gap between first and third is 1.0 point — about as tight a cluster as the rankings have produced. Amplified's differentiators in the data are its industrial and commercial footprint and its 24/7 emergency service; its relative weaknesses in the scoring are review-volume confidence and review recency, where the top two scored higher.

Frequently Asked Questions

Before You Hire Any Electrician

Best In MoCo recommends the same checks for every contractor, including the businesses in its guides:

1. Verify the TDLR license yourself at tdlr.texas.gov — confirm the status is Active and the expiration date is in the future.
2. Get a written estimate before work begins, with the scope and price stated plainly.
3. Confirm the company carries liability insurance; ask for proof if the job is large.
4. Read a sample of recent Google reviews — not just the star average — and check whether the company has a BBB profile.
5. For panel upgrades, generator installs, or EV chargers, confirm the company handles permit procurement with your city, since requirements vary by jurisdiction.

The Bottom Line

Amplified Electric earned its place as the #3 electrician in Best In MoCo's Panorama Village ranking: an Active Texas license, 4.7 stars across 28 Google reviews, nine years in business, and a commercial and industrial track record that most residential shops cannot match. The honest trade-off is review depth — 28 reviews is a thinner public record than its larger competitors.
