Best Electricians in Austin, TX

Had another great electrical service experience with Colvin Electric.  Hayward found and replaced faulty outlets and two GFIs, so now all the outlets work.  Thank you Hayward!  I like how the service rep called 20 mins before coming, and I got a text with the service reps picture and qualifications.  I highly recommend Colvin Electric.

Thanks HunterService Group for quickly responding to our request for service. John was polite, professional and personable. He quickly assessed the issue and gave us some recommendations for future work (he also pointed out previous work not up to code).

Finding an honest, reliable electrician in a coty growing as fast as Austin is not easy. I've experienced first-hand the sloppy craftsmaship of some of the big electrical companies, not so with Matt's. He goes above and beyond to make sure you're pleased with your outcome.
10/10. Highly recommended

Great quality service. I will definitely use their services again. They also provided some expert recommendations on future projects.

I called The Master Electrician out to install some Sconces and repair some wiring issues I've been nagging my man to do for 3 years.

They came out, when they said they would. Made the repairs, and left. Charged EXACTLY what they said they would, cleaned up and left.

It's a princessess dream! I'm very happy, and I would recommend them anytime.

5 stars for Vince, James, Logan, Ashley, and the entire Veteran Electric team!  

I rarely if ever write reviews for vendors good or bad.  However, since Veteran goes above and beyond expectations, I wanted to share this rare find with my Austin neighbors.    

I reached out to eight electrical companies for generac backup system bids, and only three of the eight were able to actually make it all the way through the inspection and estimating processs.  

As we all know construction, electrical, and plumbing contractors in Austin have been overwhelmed with work for the last few years, and sadly we're all now used to scheduling weeks in advance for even simple repairs.  Then we usually have to wait another 1-3 months (if we're lucky) to have the work commence only to be faced with the inevitable overscheduling/supply chain delays to complete the job that always extend well beyond the agreed upon delivery time frame.....assuming all goes perfectly and no issues arise once the job begins.

Of all eight companies I spoke with, Vince's team was by far the most complete.  Responsive, communicative, expeditous, and competitively priced.  FYI the vendor that the Generac website recommends as the local Austin installer was the most expensive.  

FYI...Prices vary widely for the same size genny install (mine was a 24kw), and most importantly availability is not the same from company to company; as many use different distributors to supply the Generac product.   Of all the vendors I spoke to only Veteran, Fox (2nd choice), and ARS were able to secure the product in under a month, as opposed to others who couldn't deliver for 3-6 months.  Which is most likely why the other five didn't make it all the way through the bidding process, as they simply couldn't deliver in a normal time frame and for a competitive cost.  Several of which never returned calls or actually showed up as promised to inspect the proposed setup.

As an example...my next door neighbor was also in the market for a backup genny and started the search about a month before I did.  We used the same landscaper to pour our concrete pads for the gennies, yet ended up hiring different companies for the install, as I was fortunate enough to have Veteran electric on my list, and booked Veteran a month after she had already locked her vendor.  

Her vendor told her product would be available in 3-6 months at the time of deposit.  My system was completely installed within two weeks, and I'm happy to say works perfectly.  I'm sure her system will be equally as efficient once it's installed, but obviously the turn around time is far from ideal.  

I spent 3 years remodeling my house, and have built two others in the last few years, so I understand the supply chain and labor shortage stress the Austin construction world is unfortunately faced with.  However, of all the vendors in every possible trade category available that I've worked with in the last five years, I can safely say Vince and his team at Veteran are at the top of that list.....and No, I'm not related, have never worked with them prior, and haven't recieved any incentive to write this review.  

Simple fact is, when you find a local company this good, in a sea of unresponsive, overpriced, and underwhelming vendors, everyone should hear about it!  I rely on Yelp for vendor reviews, and I hope mine will help others cut through the clutter going forward.  

The bonus is, you also get to support a veteran owned business, and that's huge plus.

I had a second occasion to use ATX Electrical and I can say that they are fantastic. What do you want from an electrician? I want someone that is responsive, takes their time to explain the situation and does good work. These guys hit it out of the park in every way. You will not be disappointed.  These guys were great. They were responsive, knowledgeable and on time. You could not ask for more.

He came out and did a few hours worth of work for a good price! Work came out perfect. I got new outlets in my garage which I desperately needed. 10/10 recommend!

I have used Rangel Electrical Services on three occasions for needed work in my home.  I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of service performed by owner Mario Rangel.  On each occasion, Mario showed up on time, did excellent work and completely cleaned the job sites.  All work was performed for very reasonable costs.  Work included new recessed lighting and additional circuits in my kitchen and dedicated 20 amp and 30 amp circuits in my garage.

I highly recommend Mario with Rangel Electrical Services.  He is thorough,  efficient and professional.  And he's genuinely a nice guy.  You will not regret contacting Mario for your electric needs.

I am surprised that my review is the first Yelp review for Rangel Electrical Services.  Other review sites show similar 5-star ratings.

Awesome experience with Reese electric! James came and got my house setup with a generator connection for the entire house! He installed a breaker interlock and a 50 amp connection for the generator underneath our main panel.
His work was super clean and his communication excellent. It's hard to find reliable contractors these days. James exceeded my expectations and was top notch professional. He came to my house twice. First was a consultation to check my Amp load before ordering parts. After ordering parts he set an install date and was there right on time.
I was blown away that he spent the time with me to understand the new generator I knew nothing about. His install included a step by step walk through of how to use everything and a full test when everything was installed. Everything worked great HVAC and all!
If you are looking to get your house set up for the next winter storm, look no further than Reese electric.

I hired Mr. David Julius to do a panel upgrade to my home which entailed a new weather head, meter can, 200a main panel, ground rods and water bond. The cost he quoted was very reasonable. He was super professional and great to deal with from beginning to end. His work is totally flawless. I was very impressed.This person is very skilled and I could not recommend him enough. At this point, I would only use Julius Electric for any of my electrical needs.

Amazing!  The electrician that came to my house just happened to be the owner and he was out standing!  I am renting a house and there was a socket that looked burnt and another that sparked when my wife tried to plug something in. He fixed both of these issues and then moved on to three separate light switched that had to be balanced in the middle to shut off. Yes balanced in the middle to shut the lights off. This also prevented the second switch to that light from working. He changed out six switches total to fix the problem. I would recommend him and his company to my family and friends!

It's not often we encounter a worker like Zach who can listen and solve a problem so quickly. He stopped what he was doing and fixed a light that needed to be shining in a different direction. I will remember this and be sure his name and number are in my go-to list for electrical solutions. Thanks for being there for us, Zach!

I wanted to add a new light fixture on my garage, and I contacted Bryant at the recommendation of a neighbor.  It took a while to hear back from them, but to be fair, I initially made contact around Christmas time, and mine was a small and non-emergency project.

My technician, Jorge, was very polite and informative as we discussed the work I wanted done, he wrote up an estimate, I okayed it, and he got to work.  I paid $500ish for him to drill through my rock wall, set a junction box, fish wire through the wall and attic, and install the fixture.  It was on the high end of what I expected to pay, but seems reasonable.  He had to cut a couple holes in my drywall, but was able to salvage the pieces so that I only need to patch the seams.

If how tidy does he keep his work area is an indication of quality of work, then Jorge is top-notch.  He put down plastic drop cloths under his tools to protect my (dusty concrete) garage floor, swept up rock debris and dust from his drilling, and took his shoes off when he needed to walk through my house (he had run out of the slipper/bootie things they usually use).

For future electric work, I'll get estimates from other companies, but I will definitely consider using Bryant again.

We're in the LONG process of getting the proper approvals and permits for a home backup generator. Steve, Terry, Chuck and Michael have done a FANTASTIC job of patiently working through all that was/is necessary to prepare for the generator delivery. That included proper sizing of the generator to be installed. For those planning on getting a generator, determining the proper size generator is critical. Everyone I have worked with at Blanco has been TOP NOTCH. They're exactly the 100% customer oriented group of guys that any customer could hope for. Unfortunately, far too many companies selling generators fall far short of Blanco's standards. And, they will not take the time to select a generator that is adequate for your needs. The right home backup generator will very likely not be cheap. But, wouldn't you want that selection to be the right one for you and your family? Go with Blanco & you will not regret the decision.

I'll never know whether they are good or not. Upon getting my appointment a week out, they no-showed without advance notice. I had to call them to find out why no one showed up. Pretty bad when you take off of work to be there and they pull a stunt like that.

We had a ceiling fan replaced by A-tex electric, they came out when we needed them to, they were prompt and did a great job, and didn't leave a mess like most do
