Could not be happier! We had many can lights that where not repairable because the ballast's where bad. We had one electrician come in and give us a quote to replace them with larger ones. We decided to get another quote and it was from Don at Alum Creek. Don came out that day, looked at the lights and went to Bastrop and purchased a new light , came back to the house installed it and then gave us a quote for the whole job.
Not only was the quote less than the other guy, Don was able to replace the lights with the same size but LED and now we have seen the light. Don will be our electrician for ever more. Thanks Don for the work and the Black berries!

Steve Lyon has helped my family out more than a few times and I can't recommend him enough.  He is as fair and professional as he could be.  .

Our house went dark .
we called around  for a electrician only  one responded  that  they could do it that day
within the hour the technican arrived  after checking everything  out he told us it was a  blown breaker  .fixed in minutes  with a new part from  lows .
he was on his way to a conferance when we called and as he solved  the problem in a matter of minutes he said there will be *** no charge ***
not many bisiness  give you a free ride expecially  in a emergency situation  like that

we cannot express enough thanks to J R  Ketter  for his  kind act .

this company is on our  list to call when needing someone with  electrical expertise,   put the company on your list as well.

We have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Mike. He was very prompt to reply to our request, which was to complete the wiring for our home theater set-up, in a concealed fashion. He was flexible and on time for the initial appointment to look at our room and give us a quote. The quote was fair and the project design was well thought out as if he was doing this in his own home, while also taking into account the details my husband requested. He was expedient about scheduling, and was on time and efficient when he performed the work. Very courteous at every step. Mike did a stellar job and we are so pleased. We will certainly be using his services again for any future needs we have for an electrician.

I've had two experiences with Chase Electric, very different.

The first was simple.  I wanted a timer installed on my pool pump.  

Well, Christian responded to my e-mail, came out, did a great job, billed a fair amount, and I even connected with him as a fellow guitarist (he, if memory serves, plays a Gibson ES-175).  

Nice guy.  Seemed to know his stuff.  I liked him.

The second experience was more problematic.  One day a week before Christmas 2016, lots of stuff went wrong all over my house in a random way.  Dead lights in rooms nowhere near each other, various dead outlets, no central heat, and the pool pump failed.  

The heat was a real problem -- it was in the twenties outside.  I work from home.  My house was freezing.

I asked Christian if he could come out via e-mail, reporting these issues briefly.  There was no response for two days.  

This was surprising -- I work for myself too, and if I am awake, not an hour will go by in which I don't check business e-mail.  And Chase Electric has its e-mail address front and center on its Web site, inviting people to use it.

Well, in two days, he did get back to me and said he had some time the following week.  I said with no heat in my house, I needed a faster fix than that... so I would find someone else.  He then suggested an HVAC specialist.

Now, being busy the week before Christmas... that I completely understood.   But it was odd that a master electrician would refer me to an HVAC specialist for this.

Anybody with a background in technical troubleshooting (such as mine) knows that when 5-10 different things all go wrong simultaneously, there is a root cause.  This particular root cause was obviously electrical.  And it spanned different circuits, not just the furnace circuit.  

It was therefore something that linked these circuits (meaning either the breaker box or a problem with the city power that led to the breaker box)... as I had suggested to him.

So I knew, immediately, that I had just gotten some dubious advice that was only going to waste my time and money, and I did not hire an HVAC specialist to tell me that my issue was electrical.

Well, Christmas came along and the weather turned warm, and I'm basically a nice guy.  So I wrote him back, and said I'd like to start over with all this, and politely offered him the job again.  Didn't ask for an estimate.  Didn't press him on the timeframe.  Just said I would be glad to hire him.

I never heard a word.  

A week later, I troubleshot this issue myself... using a multimeter and some common sense.  The problem was indeed the power coming from the city (a corroded splice on the roof that killed a hot feed into the breaker box).  Then I managed to talk the city into admitting it was their problem and fixing it (not an easy thing to do).

So I'm rating Chase Electric a 5 for the pump timer job, which was great... but a 0 for this recent experience.   Averaged out they come to 2.5, which I'm rounding up to three because he's a guitarist.  But sitting in my freezing house, I really deserved better advice than to be sent to an HVAC specialist for what was obviously not an HVAC problem at all.

Showed up on time and was done quickly with what they must have considered a small job (installing a new fixture in the bathroom.  They were very professional and reasonably priced.

TES recently completed a great project for us.  We built a new barn and needed Oncor (the energy provider) to place a new transformer near the barn.  TES added a new meter box, and breakers, as well as a circuit breaker box inside the barn to handle 200 amps.  Then they trenched 100 yards to my house and brought 200 amp lines to my existing panel on the house so we could eliminate an unsighly old power pole from our view.  They got the whole thing done in record time, had some great suggestions along the way to help me get power to my sheep shed for heat lamps as well.  Pricing was competitive with two other quotes I had received but these folks just seemed like good people, were knowledgeable, could fit the project in, and immediately stood behind their work when we had questions about how things operated.  We could not have been happier with our decision to use them and the outcome.

I contacted Brian to bid on an electrical job recently. Brian was easy to get a hold of, returned calls promptly, and provided my requested quote and information in a fast and efficient manner.  
While I ended up choosing another contractor for the job due to their proximity to the service location, I would not hesitate in utilizing Brian's services in the future if I have additional electrical contracting needs.

Always on time!  Clean, sober and professional!  The installation was flawless and they cleaned up after themselves before they left for the day.   I appreciated Trey's dedication and speedy service when all of the other electricans failed to return my phone calls.

Martin and his team are the best! I have had them out to work on my air conditioner a handful of times and couldn't be happier with their customer service and technical expertise. They even followed up a few days after the repair to make sure things were working as they should.

Mr Walton has helped us diagnose issues with a tankless water heater, and separately help with electrical for a mini-split installation. Always great service and very communicative

Jarrod and Daniel are cheerful, reliable, and competent. I've used Green-light on three occasions, and they are the guys who can navigate your permits, your upgrades, and your old house rehabs.  They even service Tesla cars! What's more, they'll return your calls, answer e-mails, and arrive within the appointed window.  If you're stressed after trying to chase down take a number contractors who juggle your job and waffle on show-up times, take a slow breath and call Jarrod for drama-free wiring.

Seriously, the best experience with an electrician team I have ever experienced.  From the estimate, which was absolutely free, no fee at all to come out...most places as it turns out charge about an $80 fee just to come look and give an estimate.  To the job that was done today...professional, quick and relatively inexpensive.  Really the best price out there for such a professional job.  Three different young men came out to my house.  The first to do the estimate, the other two to do the job.  Three different young men that were professional and so willing to work hard to get the job done quick and correctly.  I cannot recommend them enough.  I felt very comfortable having them in my home.  I know who I will contact from now on to have any electrical work done when needed.  The only complaint that I have is that they were booked for about a week give or take a day or two.  So, we had to wait that long for the work to be done.  I understand why that is though.  They are great so they stay busy.  Thank you LiveWire, for a professional job WELL DONE!!!!

David was amazing. I called him at 8 in the morning and by 3:30 he's got me fixed and found the issue and replaced the plug. not only was he accommodating to my work schedule, he was very polite, Price was a little more then I expected but it was well within reasonable. I would definitely call on his company again.

Amazing response and workmanship.  Had a problem with a GFCI circuit that I was unable to figure out.  Called in the morning and they were here at 10am.  An amazing response.  They troubleshot the circuit and found the problem with the fan on the pergola.  Quick repair.  Now have lights and my water feature working again.  A very reasonable price.  Support our local Liberty Hills folks.  I have two other jobs I've been putting off and I will certainly have them to the work.

Doug is great to work with.  Responded to my initial reach out within an hour, got me scheduled two days later, showed up on time and didnt just help me out, but talked me through my options and what was best for the solution I needed.  He was very polite, asked for permission to enter, and if he could walk on the carpet in shoes, and knocked my project out fast.  I will definitely recommend him to all my neighbors, and will use him again when the time comes.

Fast, responsive, honest, professional. Super easy to work with, be happy to use his services again.

I needed custom LED lighting put in my Condo they did an amazing job. They also installed a charging station for my Tesla in no time. Super friendly professional Great Service!

the one bad review is probably a scam ... there isn't better integrity and attention to detail and knowledge and skill than Kubelka Electric.

Capstone Electric came out this morning and installed our charging station in our garage in less then 2 hours (I was expecting longer tbh) and they were 1/3 the cost of our 1st opinion!!
Awesome company and it was added plus that they were local to DS!
