Best Businesses in Austin, TX

I can't say enough great things about Chris. He is knowledgeable, honest, hardworking (gets the job done right the first time), and is an all-around awesome guy. He has done numerous jobs inside and outside of my home and did an entire barn for me. I wouldn't call anyone else.

Three previous electricians came to my home to solve what I considered was a simple issue. Ken was completing a job for my neighbor and agreed (unscheduled) to check my problem while he was in the area. He resolved my issue within hours and completed the job at a reasonable price. I HIGHLY recommend this organization. As a 20+ year vet of the real estate and mortgage industry, I understand customer service is essential. Ken - you have a new client and referral partner. Thank You!

Ampology installed a natural gas generator for our home for use during power outages-even though outages have occurred infrequently. It's just a pain when they occur.

Great company and people to work with even though my project small in comparison to others they handle. Very knowledgeable and dependable in recommending right generator, and location around house. Expert technicians handled a very smooth installation and were a pleasure to have around. Thanks Ampology!!

I highly recommend Advance wiring for honest, quality service.   Rehabbing homes across the country, I've worked with many different contractors and Tom was knowledgable, gave a good estimate, and repaired my electric issue on the spot..  the best service I have experienced in Austin.   Tom is my go to from now on.  
Thank you.

Aaron showed up at the agreed upon time and did the work for the agreed upon amount.... great attitude and will definitely use him again. Highly recommend Aaron... don't think twice about it. He isn't pushing reviews or gaming the system, this is honest feedback.

They came the next day repaired our problem just wish they would have told me they either had a two hour minimum or charged for a hour of travel time.  Did a great job just wasn't expecting to pay for two hours when it took right at a hour to do the job.

The owner is great! I was in a real jam and know nothing about electrical work. I travel all over and didn't know anyone in the area and found CT Electric. The owner came out and solved my problema ASAP! Thanks a million!!
The t-shirt man!!!

I hired Major Solar and it was one of the best decisions I made while remodeling my house.  Blake came and gave a great bid, offering helpful suggestions and advice along the way.  There were even a few items that I thought I wanted to do and he came up with a more cost effective way to incorporate them into the house. He is courteous, on time and most importantly HONEST.  I highly recommend Blake and his team for any size project you might have.  You will not be disappointed.

Marble Falls Electric and AC, Inc. has done a lot of recent electrical and AC work for me.  I own a small Inn called Painted Sky Inn on Lake Buchanan and it is very difficult to get reliable and reasonable priced help out here.  About 6 to 8 months ago I asked the owners if they did emergency services since I knew there would come a time when I would need that.  They said absolutely.  Two weeks ago I had a family in our Lakeview House and they reported that the temperature was not going down in the house although the air had been on for 3 hours.  I called Marble Falls Electric and had to leave a message and then subsequently called 2 other local companies who also did not answer.  Within about 30 minutes Kim with Marble Falls Electric returned my call and told me that they would be on site shortly to look at the problem.  This was on a Saturday evening.  Glen and Kim, the owners, showed up within 45 minutes and spent about 1 hour doing everything to get the system back to cooling.  They succeeded and the guests were comfortable for the rest of the time.  We did decide to not gamble on the system lasting through the summer due it's overall condition and Marble Falls Electric and AC replaced the compressor within a few days.  They gave me a fair price and completed the work quickly while the same family was in the house for their vacation.  Even the family commented on the difference in the temperature and effort of the system to cool from the old to the new.  They could feel a drastic difference.  I want everyone to know about this company because they were true to their word about doing emergency service and they were fair with me, very fair with their charges.  I appreciate having partners like them to work with.  Only one of the other two companies returned my call but it was on the following day and one never called me back.

Used Sarge to replace an old fire hazard electric service box on my house, and do a lot of rewiring inside. Everyone who worked on the job was top-notch. They overcame the problems that crop up with a 50 year old house, finished quickly, and coordinated perfectly with city inspectors. It's a pleasure to have found such good people.

My best advice when considering using A-One Electric is simply-Don't! I can't recommend this company purely from the standpoint of how high their rates are compared to other companies, their dishonesty with my bill, and the owner's complete lack of concern when I expressed surprise at the exorbitant, incorrect bill.  I would recommend shopping around! I called 9 other companies after my bad experience to get an idea of pricing and every single one priced the same job (installing ceiling fans), significantly lower than A-One. I will say that the electrician who came out to install my three ceiling fans was a nice guy and was helpful. But the owner, Karen, was lacking in the customer service area, generally apathetic when I spoke with her on the phone regarding my bill, and dishonest about the bill total! They claimed they worked more hours than they really did and when I confirmed through phone records of the discrepancy-she denied it. This to me is shocking. My experience with this company reminded me that not every business has good intentions and that you always need to make sure to get everything in writing, ask for detailed invoices and receipts and don't trust that a company is going to do the job with the customer's best interest in mind. A-One charged me for hours they didn't work, claimed to have fixed things that I didn't request to be fixed and didn't care when I called them out on it. Definitely learned a good lesson by using this company. Won't make the same mistake twice. Oh- and if you pay with a credit card-they're going to charge you a 3.5% fee. That's not mentioned up front either.

Highly recommended! They were super helpful over the phone once (& didn't even charge me for the advice given in that emergency). Been using them ever since!

We hired Kelly from Kruse Electric to perform an electric pole repair job in Taylor. They are a family run business and run it with integrity and honesty. Despite having several jobs lined up, they provided an immediate quote to me over the phone. They provided a free estimate and didn't charge any visit fee. Moreover, not only did they provide the best quote, after scheduling the job, they completed it as promised (on time, on budget). They accept most forms of payments. Definitely give this business a chance for any kind of your electrical needs in Austin/Taylor area.

We met David and 1st Plumbing Services at the Circle C Food Trailer night.  He came out and diagnosed and fixed our low water pressure.  He was early, professional and a knowledgeable Plumber. Will use them again.

Updated: About a year later we called 1st plumbing to help with a garbage disposal installation, and the receptionist insisted that they come out, and we pay the $45 consult, even though we know what we need. Will try somebody else.

Please do not use Pro Light Atx, aka Anthony (Tony) Stapleton for any of your electric projects. I got his name via the Yelp project services to install GFCI outlets. He gave me a price good price and took money for the materials ($340) but then ghosted me. He called once to mention some personal issues and said that he would come immediately to complete my project but never did. He has not replied to my texts (he has read them) nor voicemails nor through the Yelp app. He has still not refunded my money.
At this point, I would not recommend Tony at all and would not trust him nor pay money in advance.
If something changes (like getting my money refunded), I will update this review.

Be very careful with this contractor.  He was called out to give us a bid for work on one of our properties.  He was onsite for about fifteen minutes and did not do anything but look.  He then billed us for work he did and when we refused to pay he threatened us with a lien.   If I could give him less than 1 star I would.
