Best Electricians in Austin, TX

This is a reply to Efficient, who replied in November to my September 14th complaint. My problem with Efficient became a 2 part issue:

1. Failure to repair the Air Conditioner

2. Failure to respond to our repeated phone calls, online communications, and hard copy letter addressed to George Drazic, President and Molly Drazic, CEO in a nearly two month period to discuss the bill. The November Yelp post is the first peep from Efficient in the face of all those attempts and appeared just one day after I posted a bad review of Efficient on the BBB website (to be followed by a formal complaint with BBB).

But first things first: As I suspect that the posted Efficient Yelp response is mostly for the benefit of not discouraging future customers as it was a public post rather than a private attempt to even look into our complaint, let me post the report by the AC repairman who came a few days after Efficient and fixed the whole thing for $141.60. I encourage readers to compare it to the elaborate description of the hopelessness of our AC system posted by Efficient:

The vents basically had to be adjusted to restrict so much air to be pumping into the living room area, so that there is more forced air going into the bedrooms. The vent in the living room was basically allowing too much air to escape. So it was not an AC issue, but more of an older system setup type issue. The vendor was able to install ductboard baffles and said that should be all that is needed to make the airflow push into those rooms better. Since the tenant described it as the living room stays very cold, there is obviously plenty of cold air getting in, it was just a matter of controlling the air flow.

Unlike the detailed diagnosis described by Efficient, which I again and most importantly invite the reader to compare to our happy ending, what was communicated to us, the owners and decision makers, in a phone call by the tech was much simpler. I repeat: We were told that the system was 25 years old and beyond repair, too old to even attempt a cleaning AND THE ONLY SOLUTION WAS TO INSTALL A NEW AC SYSTEM. When we suggested an approach much like what was actually successfully done, the tech was very dubious and sounded unwilling.

But for the sake of analysis of Efficient's performance, let's assume that the tech did suggest to us the $500-$600 fix (which he didn't) and we went along with it because we were over a barrel and already $99 into it, we would have grossly over-paid for a solution that might not have even worked. We suggest that readers review the Yelps sorted by worst reviews first and see if there isn't a pattern.

- nick came out a Sunday to look into a tripped circuit. he was prompt, professional, and explained everything he was doing and why. reasonable service charge. highly recommend.

Danny showed up early, fixed one of my problems far quicker than I could have imagined, and took an on entire secondary project that we originally only talked about planning for and finished it the same day.  Awesome to have a handyman that knew what he was doing be so motivated to just get it all done so quickly.  If you need something done right and quickly call A List Handyman!

We would like to recommend Mr. Wade Hudson, owner of Tejas Electric without reservation. As we always do when we need to hire any contractor to do an involved job, we interviewed around 7 electricians. Without exception, as soon as they hear the details of the job, every one of them tried to make the job bigger and more complex than it really needed to be. Some made sure to discuss the price of parts (we needed copper wire, conduits, disconnect boxes) and supplies, others made installation suggestions that did not make any sense, etc. Wade was the only one with realistic and straight proposals. The job was to bring 220/240V power outlets to 6 different locations around the outside of the house so we can have an HVAC contractor install ductless mini-splits. Our idea was to use the power already there for the two central units on each side of the house and the power from their air handlers inside the house since they were going to be disabled and replaced by the mini-splits. Wade agreed that it was the best and easiest option for the job. After his visit, he promptly sent us a realistic quote with a detailed description of the work to be done as we described it. We had to work around his schedule and blocked out two days the coming weeks. Wade and his electrician showed up on time both days. The job had a couple of difficult steps and Wade found elegant solutions to solve the problems without complaints. The job was done to spec, to code and on time. Tejas Electric has been in business in Dripping Springs and surrounding areas for 24 years and it is easy to see why they are busy. They are knowledgeable, honest and reasonable. Wade and Co. will be our go-to electrician from now on. Thank you, Wade.

Very quick response time and fixed my electrical issue promptly.  Great customer service!

Leslie Ledwell has excellent communication skills, fair pricing, and excellent electrician skills.

TLDR;
Leslie is a military veteran and is now a licensed master electrician.   From early communication to bid to scheduling to showing up to do the job, he communicated well every step of the way.  There were no surprises or additional fees.
I highly recommended Ledwell Electric for my next project!

Before we went solar we had to pay y'all every month...Guess what NOT ANY MORE!!! AMI Energy Solutions finished up the job A/C Solar is CO-OP with...Great team work and again...way to make our city beautiful with renewable energy!

We started having some electricity issues in the kitchen and our oven and dishwasher did not have power.

We tried flipping the breaker without and luck.

Corwin was able to get it figured out quickly.

Sent email with pictures to request an estimate on installing a pendant light fixture over a kitchen sink and whole-house surge protector.

Had to wait several days for a reply, since they are busy. Got an estimate from Dan and it came in at the same level as another estimate received (from an even busier electrician who couldn't get around to the work for a couple of weeks.)

Set up a time and Dan's assistant Mike and a helper showed up on the appointed morning and were able to install the light without having to open up the ceiling, saving a
drywall repair job. They were neat and professional, used a drop cloth and cleaned up the site afterward.

During the surge protector install Mike found a loose nut on a breaker and geckos inside the breaker box. He  cleaned it up and sealed a hole in the box to keep out the wildlife.

The new light looks and works great. I really appreciate the attention to detail, and kudos to Mike for finding and fixing the issues in the main breaker box.

Excellent experience and highly recommended.

I've been a contract for myself for over 40 years and used many of electrical so-called service companies but aztech seems to go above and beyond the Call of Duty and professionalism the show up on time the prices are great their clean-cut and professional definitely recommend them will not use anybody but them keep up the good work guys

Summit is awesome Electric Supply house. There employees are very knowledgeable and courteous.

I had a great experience through out my projects with Justin and his crew. Justin was always responsive, showed up when he said they would, and was open to any changes that I had. This was very refreshing as most contractors I've dealt with have not been responsive and just randomly show up. I highly recommend Justin and his crew to anyone needing electrical work. The crew did great work for me and were a pleasure to work with. I'll definitely use Goat Electric again when I need more electrical work.

GG Electric recently did some field work for us on an unusual project: fixing an electrical horse fence.  JP and Garrett came out and got muddy and dirty and got in there with the horses and fixed the fence in splendid time!!  This job was super-important to us as it's our horses' safety we're talking about and they were professional, extremely well-priced, and fast.  I highly recommend this company for unusual jobs and those more routine!

I highly recommend Silver Solar & Electric! Besides providing professional and reliable service, Joe and team will shoot you straight and provide the best option for your needs.

Joe is your go to guy for all solar and electrical needs.

Wanted $495 to replace a circuit breaker and $ 750.00 to troubleshoot/repair a line with 5 outlets.  This company is a ripoff.  When I told them their repair estimate was too high the tech asked how much was I willing to pay.
