Best Businesses in Austin, TX

I must say, they answered my call right away.  They helped me over the phone with an alarm that wouldn't shut off and never charged for their time.  We will use y'all if we ever are in need!

I arranged with Steve to install an outdoor security camera requiring an electrical outlet. He gave me a very reasonable estimate and we set a date and time for the install. Unexpectedly, he had an open spot in his schedule and thought to call me to see if I wanted him to do the install. This was great for my schedule.

He was very professional and didn't mind me watching and asking questions as I love to learn from experts. The install went without any issues and I now have the security camera I have wanted for a long time.

You can't go wrong calling on Lyons Electric.

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.

Great guy he's very knowledgeable we had a light fixture installed from someone on handy that wasn't working and called Mike he fixed it right away and has done a number of small electrical jobs around the house.

Christian was amazing. He came out quickly, fixed our problem perfectly, and was very courteous and professional. He probably prevented a future fire in my home and I am so thankful for it. If you need electrical done, this should be your first choice!

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.

We had a tricky job because of our roofline and location on the breaker box on an existing home.  We needed a plug changed to 330v service for a new double oven that was being installed.  Robert came out to evaluate the work needed and explained that it would be tough to give us a firm estimate.  So what he did was give us best case scenario and worse case and let us make the decision.  We appreciated his candor and honesty and authorized them to do the work.  Robert and his helper, were prompt, efficient and tidy.  Best of all he was able to get the job done within the best case scenario.  I highly recommend this company.

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.

I called Martin when my grandmother's water heater was on the fritz due to electrical panel issues and he was fantastic. Fast, professional, and very responsive. It's really hard to get good tradesmen out to the boonies where my grandmother lives, and he took such good care of her! He also followed up later to check on how the panel was working. Thanks Martin!!

I've known Darryl Walton for almost 12 years. He is fast, affordable, and knowledgeable on any electrical issue you could have. He's also a great guy with an excellent sense of humor.

If you want your electrical work done well give Darryl Walton a call. He is by far the best electrician I've ever used and the only person I trust with my home electrical needs.

I called over 10 electricians looking for someone to look at some wiring after a home inspection last minute.  Jarrod was able to help me since he would be in the area.  He was accommodating with the time and really helped me in a bind.  Jarrod was knowledgable and professional.  It was a free inspection and I was really happy with his work.  I would recommend  Green Light to anyone.

Dustin was great. He was prompt and courteous, and I was highly satisfied with the work. I will absolutely call him again for any future electrical work, and I highly recommend LiveWire Electrical Services.

We are giving our kitchen a face lift and with that needed some electrical work done. We had a guy come out to look at what we wanted and asked for a quote.
He said before leaving he was going to put some numbers together and email us the quote- never happened, he stood us up! I'm putting this review in bc they wasted our time and it seemed like the guy was into helping us and being on the same page for what we wanted. He also said he would give us the info before x date, never followed up to that, even after calling him saying that he would send it over the weekend. Come Monday morning- nothing!
If you want to waste your time and follow up to them (should be the other way around) call these ppl, if you want someone to show action to their words- go find someone else.

We are very happy with the services we received from J & Co. A bad storm hit our neighborhood a couple of weeks back and we lost partial power to our home. Long story short, the local power company determined the panel had been struck by lightning, and a electrician would need to be called out to replace it entirely due to the age of the panel. I contacted J & Co. and spoke with Josh. He was able to get out to our place within 10 minutes, looked over the issue, and had the parts in stock to take care of the panel same day. He also went the extra mile of helping me call the power company back out to turn off the electricity while he made the repairs, and then called them again to turn it back on afterwards. Because of Josh's speedy response, we were able to prevent the food in our fridge from spoiling and we did not go very long without AC. Many many thanks Josh for all your help. If we ever have a problem in the future, I know who I will be calling!

I thought I could install an automatic light switch timer myself - until there was a flash and a bang and the power went out... It was Saturday morning on Memorial Holiday weekend and I went to Yelp.

Several places were closed and I happened upon Windy Hill; they were open. I called...and Doug answered! I explained my situation and I heard a sigh, followed by, Unfortunately I'm booked up for today and through next Tuesday. I asked if he knew anyone else. He said not off the top of his head since it was the holiday weekend. He then asked what my problem was. I explained and, after a pause, he asked where I lived. I said Cedar Park. Another pause. He said give him a couple of hours and he'll try to come round later.

Doug called back two hours later, saying he was done with his appointments, and asked if I still needed help. I did. I'm a landlord, only visiting for the weekend, and couldn't leave the house like this - the tenants couldn't get in or out. Doug said he'd be there in 20 mins. He was.

He quickly diagnosed the problem (amateur-hour on my part!!) and fixed it within an hour. He could have gouged me on the pricing, due to my circumstances, but I felt his price was reasonable.

I was/am very grateful to Doug - he put himself out to help a fellow person in distress, and this is the kind of service I love to see. I highly recommend him and will be using him going forward for my electrical needs. Thanks Doug!

BTW, this is a real review. I don't know Doug from Adam. This did happen...

Greg is an amazing guy, he came in a week ago for the estimate on recess lights. We hired him since his pricing was most competitive and he seemed to know his job really well. He also replaced our existing recess lights since he was already here. I find Greg very pleasant to work with, he is extremely professional and doesn't recommend more lighting than what is needed. I would HIGHLY recommend Greg!! You won't be disappointed. He is our guy now for any additional lights that we may need in future!!!

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!

When I bought my new house and needed to get some electrical work done, I called around to several electricians to get an estimate.  Surprisingly, a lot of them didn't even return my calls, but Eugene called me back, gave me a thorough explanation of the electrical issues outlined in my home inspection report, and set up a time to fix my problems.  So far he's helped me out with replacing an outdated interior breaker box, and did a complete update of my outdoor electrical system.  He does great work, and he's a pleasure to work with.  Highly recommended.

Highly recommend! Responsive and quality work. I received a better price than others had quoted me and I think overall a better job was done than would have been otherwise. Great company!
