Best Electricians in Texas

Pros:  Came out within 30 mins of me calling them. The hour rate quoted on the phone was $100 plus repairs. That was $50 less than everyone else I called and none of them could make it out that day.

Cons: don't expect any kind of wiggle room on the price if it turns out that you are an idiot and never needed to call an electrician in the first place.

Let me explain. The can lights in our kitchen, recently remodeled, stopped working. For 6 months my wife and I have exclusively used one switch on the countertop to control these lights. A week ago they cut out. We had completely forgotten about the other 3-way switch in the hallway because it had been blocked by boxes and other things from the move. The switch didn't even exist in our minds. 2 seconds into the electrician coming into the house he flips the switch and I have a good laugh. Problem solved in my mind. Since he's made the trip out I ask him to take a look at some other things. My thinking being.  Ok, I'm out $100 minimum for a silly mistake, let's try to knock out some other simple things. I had a ceiling fixture that needed a shallow breaker box. I hadn't been able to find one at a big box store. I asked him to quote me on that. We had some confusion at the beginning that I will give him the benefit of the doubt on. Originally i was thinking he wanted to charge me an extra $100 diagnostic fee. Plus a charge for a repair. It wasn't until I complained and we went back and forth a little that he came off the extra $100! Or I could of been reading the situation wrong and it was a misunderstanding. I specifically remember him saying it was $100 minimum per issue though. So we move on. He tells me it's $75 for the shallow breaker box. I ask him if since the other one was such a silly mistake if he could do $150. Still in my mind that's damn near highway robbery but I thought that would be doable and a nice gesture on their part since it was laughable how stupid I'd been to call them. He stays firm on the $75. I don't push the issue anymore. I let him spend 5-10 mins putting 2 screws in and run my card for $175.

Long story short. I'm an idiot. Monday's suck. I should of been an electrician. And don't expect any kind of good faith gesture in silly scenarios like this. A price is a price is a price.

***UPDATE***

Owner replies to a job that was 11 months ago!!!!
My review was pretty clear and 100% honest and accurate.
*You came in.
*Turned on a light switch (to fix a silly mistake that my wife and I missed).
*Used two screws to install a shallow breaker box that I couldn't find at Home Depot. You charged me $175.
* In my house total for probably 8 mins.

People can decide for themselves if they think that is a fair and going rate. I'm glad you have thousands of happy customers. Sorry that one of them gets a little annoyed when they feel like they just got hosed.

Service was fast and precise. Electrician David Flores was at my front door within the hour after I made the call. After troubleshooting the issue step by step and explaining possible reasons causing loss of power to a quarter of our house, he repaired the issue. And as an added Bonus...Hunter Electrical Service gives Veterans a discount. Will definitely use again!!!

These guys are awesome! Came over with no issues to inspect my system and pointed out CO2 problem & were able to fix the system same day! Great service, great customer service, and great value! Noel & Jesse were professional, quick, and clean. Answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable about the HVAC system and explained why there was a problem & what it took to fix it. Very transparent about what they were suggesting and why. Recommend services!

Steve did a great job wiring a new outlet in my garage for my EV. Great professional service, fair price. Steve knew right away what I wanted, and what was required to do job right. A larger electrical service company quoted twice as much for the same job.

What a relief to find these great guys!  So responsive and timely.  Contacted several other companies that wouldn't respond or touch our electrical problem that included dealing with the power company.  Greg and Jimmie bent over backwards to get us fixed up and quick!  So appreciative of their excellent service.  Will definitely be calling them for any issues in the future.

Had a houseful of electricians bidding on a project that I wanted to get started. Hands-down, Mr. Pawson is the most relaxed, knowledgeable and non-pressuring of all electricians that visited the house today. Not only that, but his price was significantly lower than the others. My dog fell I love with him, that's a good sign and he served alongside Soldiers in their time of need.

Purchased a new home and bought new appliances.  Best Buy was at my home to install the dishwasher, but there was an issue. The dishwasher did not have space behind it to fit the electrical receptacle, so I needed an electrician to mount the receptacle flush against the wall behind the dishwasher.  I contacted Lite It Electric. They arrived within 30 minutes and had the problem taken care of very quickly. The price was reasonable, too. Will definitely use them again. Bryan was awesome!!!

Awesome Service! I needed to install a couple of ceiling fans and a chandelier for family that were visiting me soon. I called Juan, he was able to schedule me the next day, and start in the morning. He arrived on-time, explained the installation, and finished ahead of schedule. Also, he fixed my low-voltage outside lights! Great electrician, and great person! Highly recommend!

These guys were professional and went to work immediately! Friendly, very considerate, and respectful of being in my home!

I highly recommend them!

What a find!

Our neighbor recommended Dan to us and he deserves a gold medal for installing our smart wifi ceiling fan.

Our fan had a malfunction on installation and Dan patiently stuck by us while we waited a few weeks for two parts to be sent to us (one which Lamps Plus forgot to send and it had to be reordered).

Needless to say Dan was fast, courteous and went above and beyond. He even tried to help us figure out the wifi settings when the fan's tech support team failed.

Once our parts arrived Dan had to come back a second time and he tried to charge me solely for the initial trip fee. We refused and tipped him extra. He was the glue that held this project together and we hope to hire him again, if he will have us nightmare clients.

This fan was a Christmas present and we are glad it's finally complete. Thank you, Dan!

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!

Had a unique electrical job with a fitness machine and Maury went through great lengths to get to the bottom of it and only charged a service call fee which was more than reasonable! Will definitely be using him again

We first used Jesse Padilla last year when we had LED lights installed in our kitchen along with some new outlets.  He is wonderful.  The job he did is absolutely perfect.  He is a good guy also.  He even came by later after the kitchen was completed to check on things.  What a great guy.  You will not be disappointed if you use him for your electrical needs.  Also, his charges were very reasonable.    Give Jesse a call - we highly recommend him

I had a semi big job for Mike with installing grounded outlets and a new breaker panel. Him and his partner did a great job for a great price. Mike is extremely polite and knowledgeable. He will try and cut costs as much as he can for you. I would highly recommend Mike for all of your electrical needs and I will be using him for any further electrical work moving forward.

I needed two ceiling fans and a light fixture installed, so I looked around on Yelp for licensed electrical contractors. L&R responded quickly to my request for an estimate and showed up promptly at the time promised. The price was great, and the electricians were very professional. I didn't anticipate one of the ceiling fans being so complicated to assemble, but the electricians put it together in a snap. I'll definitely be using L&R in the future. Thanks!

Professional service at a fair and reasonable price. I had an electrical issue at 4pm on a Wednesday afternoon. Other companies wanted six days to respond. I called H&S and they were at my house in a half hour. Diagnosed the issue and fixed it the next day. High quality work, very nice and explained everything. Even let me look over shoulder during every step of repair. Used new top quality parts. I had a great experience, give them a try.

Jon was awesome to work with. He showed up right on time when promised both for the estimate appointment and to actually perform work.  He installed my light fixture flawlessly, including a trip back to the hardware store to make sure he had the exact outlet box that would fit it without needing to cause damage to my ceiling. Everything was dusted off and swept before he and his helper left, and he was happy to give me advice on another small issue too. I would heartily recommend Shine On Electric to anyone who needs an honest, fair-priced, perfectionist electrician - I'll definitely be calling again next time I need something!

Eddie and his crew came out last week on short notice and took care of installing a metered loop for us. I was super impressed with Eddie's responsiveness to all communication and when he came out to give a free quote and check out the job he was polite and knowledgeable. He has been in the industry for many years (since he was in high school!) and he took the time to give advice to my son about electrician apprenticeship. Eddie and his crew came out and completed the job ahead of schedule and they were super efficient and had great attitudes, even in freezing temps. I highly recommend Marshall Electric for all your electrical needs. Thanks, Eddie!

I did not use this company for service. Scheduled appointment for following day then was called back stating they had an opening for day of. Great! About 4pm was texted stating cannot see me today after all. Whoever was texting had an attitude stating well you were originally scheduled for tomorrow. I shared I didn't appreciate the attitude and asked to cancel. They apologized, but I was still no longer wanting to do business with them.
