Best Businesses in Austin, TX

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 is a master electrician who is actually an instructor for other electricians. He's done work for us for years, installing a 12V system of exterior lighting that goes on and off automatically, adding a cable outlet, installing ceiling fans, even coming over on a Sunday afternoon to fix our phone cable when I chopped a foot out of it. He also cabled my offices for the computer network. Great service, very helpful, and at a reasonable cost. He stays pretty busy, but I think he's one of the few electrical contractors who likes these small jobs. Really, I think he likes helping people...

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.

I always recommend Mike to my clients who need an electrician. He is responsive, honest, and very knowledgeable. I know I can trust him with my clients.

Christian Chase has been our go-to electrician for several years. He is always responsive and easy to schedule. He is very knowledgeable and professional, plus he does a great job. On top of that he's very pleasant and personable and easy to work with! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for all your home electrical projects!!

Tried to contact Remedy Electric today for a rough quote for some electric work that we needed done in our backyard.  We had an above ground pool installed and required a junction box at the sight of the pool.  

I was told by Teresa, and I quote, We do not provide free Estimates,the fee will be 50.00 dollars This will allow the electrician to Determine what is needed to give you the price, If you accept the Estimate, at the Compilation of Project the 50.00 Dollars will be removed if charged.

I'm really shocked.  Of the twenty-two companies with certified and bonded professionals I contacted, today, all of them gave me a rough quote, and every single one of them offered to come and provide a true quote at no charge.  I'm just really surprised that this company refuses to be competitive in its own market!  

There's no way I would ever entertain future work with a company so disinterested in garnering my business.  To not even _try_ to offer something... it just smacks of being completely disinterested, and that's not a good sign in a field where attention to detail, and commitment to perfection is vital!  

Strangely surprising, and a complete disappointment.

[Also, whenever a professional responds so illiterately, that's a bad sign, as far as I'm concerned.]

7/7:

Teresa,
I contacted 21 other companies who do bonded, certified electrical work to get quotes, yes, I did.  I did not say that I contacted them solely by phone.  In truth, it was a combination of work done through email and by phone.  Why that comes as such a shock, I don't know.  

Maybe it's just that electronics (like computers and cell phones) are foreign to you, but a lot of us use them to communicate on a daily basis. You seem so confused by the quotation process!  

You asked how your competitors knew the particulars of the job?  Simple. They asked me.

As I said, I was looking for a rough quote, and got them from several of your competitors without any confusion, or contempt.  The top three that I'm workings with-- companies rated higher than yours on both Yelp and Angie's List-- saw your response, and had commentary of their own to add. Like, one said, Why doesn't she just try asking those questions beforehand, rather than ranting about them in response! While another added, How difficult is it to respond in email, like we did?  It seems like your competitors weren't nearly as confused about having a conversation on the internet.  For you, mores the pity.

I'm not looking for a handyman service.  I'm looking for an insured company with top-notch professionals.  A company committed not only to excellent service, but to doing a job-- not cheaply -- but economically.  And, seriously, if you think that's a _bad_ thing... it's really no wonder several of your customers complain about your prices (look it up).

Speaking of looking things up!  You might want to look up the word 'slander' in a dictionary (to do this, get in your car, drive down to the public library, ask the librarian what happened to the card catalog, find out they've been out of use for the last ten years, then ask for help on how to do a search on the internet-- I know how much technology confuses you).  

You've accused me of maliciously or falsely defaming your company, but what I've done here is simply quote (and verbatim, too) from your response to me on Angie's List.  Then I provided my opinion on our communique.  Everything that I've posted here has been 100% factual.  No lies necessary.  Let's face it, lady, I don't have to lie to make you look bad, you do just fine on your own.  

By the way, the word you're actually looking for is 'libel', not slander (one is written, while the other is spoken). I get that you have problems with words, though, so....  I think it would really help if you invested in a dictionary (or, and I'll give you this piece of advice for free (despite how valuable my time is!) You can always use dictionary.com.  Very handy!  Don't worry, no need to thank me!).

Before I go, I had a final word about this cheap, cheap, cheap thing you keep doing.  You said that I said I was looking for the work to be done cheap.  Here's what I said in my original Angie's List response: I'm hoping it's something we can get done simply and relatively cheaply. You have several specials, and I'm not sure if any of them could be used/combined, but I'd really like to see if I could get a quote for the parts/labor.  

It's sad when a customer can't ask for quality and value without being crudely mocked by the company they came to for service.  Why anyone would ever work with you... when they can see, word-for-word, how little respect you have for not only a potential new customer, but for service done at a value, too... is beyond me.

I had a tricky wiring problem in my old, old house. Robert spent many hours to find and fix the problem. Also Robin went out of her way to work with me on the billing, and also to work with my not-so-easy-to-deal-with insurance plan. I would recommend them to anyone!

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.

The service from the team at Lykos was top notch and thorough. There is a glitch somewhere in my house wiring that has caused a series of ceiling lights and wall outlets not to work. They came on two occasions and spent several hours each visit searching through the entire electrical circuitry of the house without finding the glitch. They were not comfortable offering a less-than-safe make-do solution, which I appreciate and respect. They did not charge me for any of their time in this endeavor. I am impressed with their thoroughness, honesty and professionalism and highly recommend them.

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

I am not usually one to write a bad review, but we had such a terrible experience with Green Light Electrical that I decided to warn others.  We were remodeling our house and had a number of items we needed rewiring for.  Jarrod kept saying the work was done and then we would find that light switches were not working, the garbage disposal was hooked up to the same switch as our kitchen sink light (so the kitchen light could only come on when the garbage disposal was on), etc.  Then, after the work was done a couple of the switches they worked on stopped working.  We eventually were tired of calling Green Light back and having faulty work done so had an electrician from a different company come to fix it, and they said that the reason the switches stopped working is because Green Light had mixed up wires and also put in some wires  so loose they had fallen out.  It cost us $300 just to have someone fix the work they messed up.  Would not recommend.

I had owner of live wire at my residence to do electrical work and cannot express just how professional and courteous he is. I highly recommend Dusty for anyone that is wanting a honest and affordable electrician. Nice to have a reliable company with such determination to make sure customer is satisfied. Thank you Live wire for your prices and hard work

Excellent! After calling several electricians in the North Austin area, David not only answered, but fit us in the same day! He explained thoroughly, and had very reasonable rates. We are very pleased. Will definitely call 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.

The owner is quick to respond to quotes and requests.  Very nice, super professional.  There when he said he'd be there and very well priced!

Greg did a wonderful job and was a pleasure having him and his assistant in our home. He installed two ceiling fans and diagnosed a problem with the third ceiling fan. He installed a dimmer switch that allows us to operate the ceiling fan speed and light from the wall. He rewired and hung our chandelier. He diagnosed some electrical problems that we were unaware of and corrected them. He was extremely knowledgable, personable, and professional. He explained everything clearly before he began working and after the installations were completed. He worked quickly and cleanly and his pricing was fair and true to his quote. His communication was great; he returned all phone calls and texts quickly. We were extremely satisfied and pleased with his work. We highly recommend Georgetown Electric... the BEST!!!

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!

We've used Eugene Kubelka for many years for our electrical needs, and have always been pleased with his service.  He and his assistant are professional, knowledgeable, easy to have around, conscientious, and honest.  He arrives when he says he will, and completes the work in a timely manner.  Plus, he's a super nice guy.  I highly recommend him.

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!
