Best Businesses 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.

I bought a used hot tub that required to be hard wired with a dedicated 50 amp line. They called me and set-up an in-house estimate the very next day. I had no clue what the cost would be but was provided 3 options to get the job done with all cost upfront.  Chris McDonald was great, very professional and caring listening to my needs and concerns.  They do have low interest financing for larger jobs and a maintenance program for electrical systems like my AC/ furnace which I signed up for and saved me a lot of money. Coworker Stacy Woodard came with Chris on the very next day, part of the holiday weekend and put in a full day's work in the heat of the day to get our power line installed and run over 40 feet from the power box to the spa. Chris even went online and pull up the manual to our hot tub model to have the correct wiring schematics. I would definitely recommend them for being top notch electricians making me feel much safer hiring a professional. They also sent text messages to keep me informed of their arrival time with the employee's picture and a little bio so I felt like I was inviting a friend into my home.

One of the top electricians in Austin!! I just did a full house remodel and he did a beautiful job!  Matt's Electrical Work did everything from rewiring most of the house to bring it up to code, to adding do recess can lights and adding fixtures and plugs where I needed them. I ended up redoing everything from the bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, living room areas and dining areas. All workers were very clean and professional. The owner called me and addressed every concern and question I had after the job was completed to make sure I was satisfied.

Great team and amazing for the army community. This is a vet owned business and they know what's going on. I highly recommend them again!

They were honest, timely and the most reasonably priced electrician in Georgetown.

It is not about the service I received, the electrician was friendly and good at replacing fuses. He insisted on running out to buy the latest model fuse. Quick install. Talked to me a bit about other issues I might want to fix. Sign the pad. Have a good day.
The work works. No complaints.
It is the sales vibe.  The guy never quit telling I needed new work. None stop. Like my house was out of code. I looked. I am not. I rebuilt from the studs in 2019. Just do the work. Point out anything you see, I appreciate that; but stop selling yourself.
The price is high; but the work is right. Choose what is more important to you.
Not local. Houston.
Revised review. The owner is right. Everything suggested was noted on the invoice with an explanation. I got an honest opinion. Some of slightly tilted to selling; but at least on paper. I have added a star.

REALLY EASY TO WORK WITH!!  Polite, careful, and knowledgeable.  Does it get any better?  Thank you for making the ceiling fan install so easy.

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!

Rangel Electrical services called me back the same day and delivered great service the very next day. In fact they showed up early to complete the task before expected. Communication was help throughout the entire process via text and phone call to ensure the job was completed on time and to my liking. For the quickness the task was completed and how convenient it was I feel like the price was very fair. I highly recommend this service.

James and Jaime did a fantastic job on our electrical rewiring project.  We are replacing 4 can lights with a chandelier and they removed the can lights, rewired the electricity, and installed a mounting box for the chandelier.  James was responsive, his price was fair, he was prompt and arrived when he said he would and did a great job!  I would definitely hire Reese Electric for any electrical job.

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!

Replaced dimmer switch, bulbs and serial connection to the bog pump. Main problem was broken toilet exhaust fan & lamp. Had him swap the unit from upstairs toilet. Purchased a fan from Homedepot which did not fit. He though it could be a 5$ capacitor but he did not have the part. I ended up buying the entire unit online (150$) and fitting it myself. I paid 500$ for the other jobs ( labor only since all parts were on hand already) which is too much!

Called up a different time to enquire how much it would cost to add a separate breaker for a treadmill. The girl answering the phone said that it will cost 59$ to have someone come and quote. I asked for a ball park, low, high and most probable based on their past experience. She stated that it was policy to quote a price only after a visit ....

Lived in Texas for 17 years. I manage facilities and suppliers at many levels and deal with technical vendors all day long.
This company has been doing my HVAC work since I got down here and I have never had an issue. Prompt, professional, accurate, at every level from technicians to office staff.
No silly commercials, just great service and quality products at fair prices. On my system that was installed at my own home today I did not even bother to get a second quote because I knew exactly what my money was buying.

Robert was able to come out same day and do an inspection for me while I was under contract for a property. He had the estimate for the repairs done that same evening. I will be using him from here on out!

Where to begin.  I had intermittent power outages house-wide.  I called A-Tex Electric and they sent out a repair person.  I detailed the issue to the owner in advance via phone and text, so they knew what was needed.
After arriving, the repair person went to determine the cause.  Then, after a few minutes, he asked to go to the bathroom and stayed in there for nearly 20 mins.  Then, after finishing, he went upstairs and I didn't see him for quite some time.  It turns out he was up there replacing four light sockets without telling me, so I never approved the work, and I didn't need the work.  He ultimately said I'd need to replace all of the sockets in the house (which were all functioning fine btw), but he couldn't quote me a price.  I then asked if he could do the work and he said he didn't have time, so I asked him why he would come out if he didn't have time to do a repair.
Then, he claimed to have no idea how to estimate the cost even though he had worked for A-Tex for 12 years.  According to him, he didn't know if they charged by the service or by the time.
We ended up calling the owner and getting a voicemail.  Then he called back and we stayed on the phone for 10 mins while the repair person just stood there.
Then he left saying he would get me a quote via email.
Well, sure enough, I received a bill for the four socket replacement repair for $420!  So they expect me to pay $420 for four sockets to be replaced, which I didn't want, need, or authorize.
I called the owner of A-Tex and told him I found the bill to be high and that I felt like I was being taken advantage of.  He claimed they charge an hourly rate of $120 (which isn't on their website, nor disclosed when I spoke with the owner), he charges for drive time, and he rounds up to the highest hour.  Then you pay for parts.
Of course, the 20 min bathroom break and 10 min phone call with the owner while the repair person stood there (just to get a quote for repairs!) was on the clock, unbeknownst to me.  That bathroom break and phone call cost me $60!  And that time triggered the cost of another hour or work even though it went into that third hour by a few minutes.
Then the owner made my jaw drop when he said they couldn't actually fix the intermittent outage because by the nature of the problem they can't determine the cause since it likely wouldn't happen while they were there.  I asked him, So you sent a repair person out knowing that the problem couldn't be diagnosed and the repair couldn't be done.  He said yes, and apologized.
Ultimately I offered to pay $120 for the $420 since I didn't want the work done, didn't authorize the work, didn't need the work, the repair person was there unnecessarily (by their own admission), and the bill was padded with a 30 min drive to my house, a 20 min bathroom break, and a 10 min phone call to the owner.
To add insult to injury, in a later email with the owner he told me that he had a $240 minimum, yet another price consideration that was never disclosed (and would've kept me from using them) and that he would put a lien on my house if I didn't pay.  I would win in court because the work was unauthorized (and thus there was no paperwork showing that it was), but the effort of that would be too much.
In that spirit, I'm writing this review to warn ANYONE that is thinking of using them that they will be screwed over with impunity.  Buyer beware for certain.  Don't walk away from A-Tex Electric....RUN!
