Best Businesses in Dallas, TX

Called this company yesterday and they were able to come out today and install a dedicated circuit and move a plug. They work quickly and professionally. It took them less time and charged a better price than the quote recieved from competitors.

I just had Caddell Electric (I first found them through The Good Contractor's List) out for a 2nd job and the Lance was AWESOME!  They are always clean, courteous and get the job done the right way!  Highly recommend!

I was picking up a large piece of electrical strut from a supply house and the electrician from here was kind enough to saw-Za the 10ft piece of strut so I could fit it in my car.  Think he took pity on me watching as I tried to hacksaw it in the parking lot.

I love this company. They are open 24/7 and very reliable and dependable. If something goes wrong they come as soon as they can to fix the problem. Such a Great Company!!!

I chose Arrow Electric initially because of the positive reviews, and reading them I do not doubt that others have had good experiences. Unfortunately, mine was different. I have a rental home that had already experienced a no-show by the electrician for a small repair, which I explained when booking the appointment with Arrow. We set up the appointment date and time range, which I then confirmed with the tenant and closed the loop with Arrow on. When I followed up with the tenant, Arrow had no-showed and has still not responded to the voicemail that I left to iron it out. I do not typically post negatively as I realize these things can happen, but the lack of communication about not being able to make the appointment amplified the already difficult situation that I had communicated.

I have been using Echeverria Brothers Electrical for many years as has my daughter and a few friends.  Sometimes I cringe when I see the following requests posted on social media sites requesting a referral. Looking for a reasonable ... insert occupation.  Reasonable almost always means cheapest.

How much is reasonable?   I am interested in quality especially when it comes to an occupation that might cost you your property or personal injury.  High-power (115-220V) electricians definitely fall into that category.  The first thing I look for is a Master Electrician certification.

I grew up with a dad that was an electrical engineer/electrician with a power and light utility company (KCP&L.)  He taught me a lot, but the most important was not to get in over my head.  Go to a professional.  They have the trained technicians, tools, test equipment, and most importantly the insurance bonding to stand behind their work.  Using your neighbor just because they have a multimeter and alligator pliers is usually not the right solution.  And, most Handymen are not bonded.

My house is older and things are starting to break down.  Over the weekend, using my own multimeter and test equipment, I knew would be in over my head and needed a professional electrician.  I put out a call to Julio Escheverria, again.  I told Julio it wasn't an emergency but he treated it like one and had his crew out here first thing.  They have always been prompt, efficient, tidy ... and REASONABLE.

Echeverria Brothers Electrical gets my highest possible rating.

saved me $4800!!!
Our 11 yr old unit went out.  1st AC guy came and after many tries to diagnose the problem said it was a $5k repair.  So naturally I said I need a 2nd opinion.  Well next guy said we need a new unit: another $5000 bid.  So after some research we found Big Bear:  wow turns out we just needed a new capacitor a $186 part.  It went out and caused the compressor to overheat.... The compressor is fine.  He was here less than 45 min and did the repair.  Wow!!  After having it explained to me it seemed pretty basic.  When the capacitor goes out the compressor has to overcompensate and do more work.  So it overheated!!!  Anyhoo... I expect to have to replace these units one day but seriously a $5k bid for a $200 job is just plain robbery. #ibigbear

Great professional service! Doug runs his company personally well, always very reasonable on price.

We have been needing to get some electrical work done on our house for sometime. We had an addition added to our house plus some old wiring issues that needed to be worked out. I had called several handy man services but most of them were not licensed or not bonded. I was happy to find out the Mr Electric had both of these. We were able to schedule for a quote less then a week out which I was happy to hear.  Our appointment was between 8am and 11am. I received a text message at 8:07 am stating that their tech was on his way to our house. The election showed up less then 30 minutes later. His name was Bryan and I was happy to see he was following covid rules. He was very professional and went over the cost of the job and plus the detail of what was needed to be done. Initially we only had a few things needed to be done but I was so happy to find a honest company we decided to have more work done while he was at our house. I really appreciate and recommend Mr Electric for any work that you may need completed. We are happy we finally found a trusted company. Look forward to more upcoming projects in the future. Thank you Bryan for such a great job.

This company is awesome! They were available the same day I needed them and the 2 electricians that came were professional and respectful. I will definitely be calling them again!

Seriously I am so happy with his promptness, quality of work and his honest rate... going to recommend him for anyone that needs electrical work! Couldn't be happier!

Found this company in an online search for electricians near me.  When I called they are in Houston, but said they have techs in Dallas area.  I had a simple outdoor outlet where the GFCI kept popping.
The tech arrived, very professional.  When he started showing me info on his ipad about the company.  I knew I was not going to like what was coming next.  He showed me that he had to do a complete diagnostic on that outlet and what it hooks up to for the lovely price of 350.00 JUST to diagnose!!!  I paid 1/2 that to have the outlet installed!  Needless to say I told him to leave!

I engaged McBride to install two ceiling fans at my house. The installer, Justin, did an excellent job on both and I'm very pleased with Justin and the work he did for me. For my next electrical project I will be calling McBride.

I love this company!! They fixed a complicated outdoor lighting system very quickly. Then, I sprung a new project on them ... pigtailing every outlet and switch in the house. 6 guys came and had it done in a couple of hours. They all have great personalities, and they really care. I recommend them highly.

If I could give no stars I would. We contacted Mr. Carter to hire him for one of our properties. We texted him and he was extremely rude and unprofessional. He actually got upset because we asked basic questions. He had the audacity to say, too many questions and. I can't take you seriously. I was baffled by the lack of professionalism. He even tried to charge us more because we are in California. We've hired several contractors to look at our property in Dallas and never have I heard of a charge for being in a different state. I can't take an electrician who can't answer basic questions like, how much do you charge? seriously. It was a horrible interaction and he definitely will not get our business nor does he deserve yours.

****Update**** Then he texted me the next morning being very childish. Just more evidence of how unprofessional he is.

Ok installation but not ideal for residential.  First off, very nice guy.  They replaced our service panel and all wiring.  They did an OK job.  Similar to plumbers they have no respect for any part of the house other than their little area.  You definitely have to follow them to fix what they disturb (insulation, floor boards, wall cuts, etc.  Just know you need to clean up after them.   And I still have a few outlets that are loose and never got corrected (was told he'd send someone out - never happened after i made final payment (I should have know better so i take responsibility for not holding final payment).  But the worst part was we failed inspection.  He insisted I needed an energy audit.  So he sent me the link, i called for this audit, paid $150 and had the audit submitted to the city.  City was confused and when I finally bypassed Adis and went directly to the inspector it turned out that they needed to change 1 breaker to a gfci.   They actually did (apparently after failing the inspection)  but instead of them bothering to call for re-inspection he told me to get a $150 energy audit that was not required.  Again, he's very nice and maybe his company is more suited for a business environment and not residential.  Residential service providers should be able to deal with the permit and completion and not throw it back on the homeowner to deal with inspectors and submit final documentation.

I had a light fixture install scheduled through Legacy. The tech was scheduled to arrive between 8a-9a and afterwards conduct 4 hrs of work. The tech never showed. I decided to call the main office 30min after the arrival window ended. It turns out the tech had injured his shoulder and they were working to find a replacement but were unable to do so. The tech informed them of the injury at 8am. We called in to check on things at 9:30am. They had 1.5 hours to let us know the status of our work order, but never reached out. Our install also required preparation on our part that involved removed the previous lighting fixtures. But no one contacted us to let us know the job needed a replacement technician and was uncertain or nearly cancelled. Now we are left without lighting in two major areas of our house until we can schedule another company to conduct the work that Legacy committed to doing today. Had they simply contacted us we would have understood, decided on a time to reschedule, and paused on removing the previous light fixtures until then. Instead, Janie, the representative I spoke with on the phone gave an empty apology and then walked it back by saying, I'm sorry you see it that way when I mentioned she could have contacted us earlier to let us know the job status. Poor communication, lacked humility, and very unprofessional. Find someplace else that will hold to commitments or actually communicate in a timely manner if an emergency comes up.

I had a number of electrical problems and they came out same day. They worked very fast and obviously knew what they were doing. Super efficient. Took care of four problems in about 30 minutes. Jeff was team leader, with 2 helpers. Very nice guy and very knowledgeable. He doubled checked everything before he left and showed me all is operational.

I will be invoiced so I don't know what the bill is, but just based on the speed and efficiency I was favorably impressed. They actually clean up after themselves and treat your house with respect! When is the last time that happened?

If the bill is reasonable I have found a new electrician for life. Plus, since I live in Lake Highlands, I definitely believe in supporting local business.

These guys are great. I've used them several times. The most recent time they installed an exhaust fan in my garage workshop. The amazing thing, besides their great work, being on time, and getting finished quickly, was that they came in UNDER the estimate! Zowie! How often does that happen???

We had another company maintaining our system for over a decade, when the one they installed broke down, they wanted a LOT of money (double the cost for the 10 year old one it was replacing) to replace it. We called A#1 Air, they came out, quoted us a price that was several thousand cheaper so we went with them. Of course, day of delivery comes and low-and-behold we need this and we need that (with the customary scare tactics) and suddenly we're THREE THOUSAND above the cost for a better system we were quoted by the old company but being mid-installation, we were captive suckers.
Also, during installation, shortcuts were made that resulted in less access to the space and remnants from the old system still in place. Plus some things that were promised (a solid concrete pad) were not delivered (it's too heavy) and a cheap, breakable concrete covered foam pad was used (the same kind that cracked the last time).
Not impressed. Is the system nice? It should be for the money we paid! Was the work fast? Fast to schedule but literally took twelve hours one day and six another. Do we feel we got a value for our money? No. Would we recommend? We would give anyone who asked our honest experience and let them compare A#1 to our old company. Oh, our bill actually went up after the system was replaced so we may have gotten a worse deal than we realize. Thrilling.
