Best Electricians in Texas

Vela Electric is owned by Mr. Joe Vela.  He is a well known person in this town.  We here at the Frio Co. Sheriff's Department have utilized his services for at least ten years and we find him to be a very reliable and fair manager of his business.  He will do almost any reasonable job, electrical and moving, plus he and his crew are trustworthy and punctual.  He will give you fair estimates before he does the job and he will tell you if the job is within the range of his companies' abilities or not.  You can be up-front with him and he will treat you respectfully.

Had these guys out to look at a annoying gfci outlet that kept tripping. They were great communicating & scheduling the appointment. Ronnie, located the issue within minutes & had it repaired very quickly.
I also had him look at adding another exterior outlet since I needed one in a different location. He actually said he had most of the materials already in his truck & could do it at that time!
I must say he did a great job installing the new exterior outlet in a nice all weather box. Top quality work at a fair price.
I have found myself a new electrician & will recommend him to all my friends & family.
Very professional company that actually cares about the work they do! That's very rare today!
Do not hesitate giving these guys a call!

Very happy with our service visit today. Joe and his partner were professional, courteous and patient with us. They quickly diagnosed our breaker box issue and fixed it promptly. We will definitely use these guys again in the future.

Don't waste your time with other electricians.

Chadwick might not be the cheapest electrician in Austin, but do you really want cheap shithouse electrician work?  I'd rather not have my house burn down.

I'm pretty sure over the course of the work he did for me I called him on weekends and evenings and he was always available to answer my questions.  The customer service he provided was light-years ahead of any of the other contractors I worked with.

I have nothing but good things to say about him.  He was honest and open about my options and exceeded my expectations of the finished work.  He upgraded some of the infrastructure of the house I never asked him to, and it didn't cost me anything over the initial quote.  I'm tempted to sabotage the electrical systems of my friends and neighbors just to give him more work.

Initially we chose SFX because they were a Veteran owned company. These guys are reliable, professional, personable and very very good at what they do! Owner Steven and apprentice Jose are a class act. We had a small project but details were not spared! They showed up when they said they would and followed up. We will definitely call SFX for any and all electrical projects in the future!

Very professional and responds quickly! If I need any electrical work done I will always call him! He has done numerous electrical jobs for me and haven't had one issue!! Reasonable pricing too!!

I had an exceptional experience with Greg! He was prompt to come give me a quote and quick to schedule install. He installed recessed can lights for our backyard patio and we love it! Not to mention his pricing is great too!

My pantry ceiling lights stopped working and my trustworthy handyman thought it was likely a blown fuse or wiring issue, so I requested quotes from several electricians via Yelp and included some helpful photos. All In One Electric stood out specifically as a company I would not do business with our recommend to others, because of its aggressive attempt to overcharge me for something I didn't need and rude communication:

All In One: Repair of lights alone is $575. 4 breakers will need to be changed out in order to make this work The cost of those breakers is included in pricing

Me: How do you know that without looking at it? Why' wouldn't it be just one breaker?

All In One: Because that's what I've doing for a living for over 40 years
You showed me the picture and that's how I know what to do. You currently have no open spaces in your breaker box without replacing breakers to a different style in order to add additional spaces

Ultimately, with help from someone who is not an electrician - but knowledgeable about it - I was able to trouble shoot the issue for zero cost. There was no need to install any breakers at all, let alone 4 for $575 - despite All in One's insistence, which was contrary to all other electricians communicated with.

UPDATE BASED ON RESPONSE FROM OWNER: the whole home surge protector was quoted separately. Based on your 40 years of experience, why would the light repair cost $575? What specifically goes into that quote?

They arrived on time and immediately went to work. We called them for a particular outlet and vanity light.  They checked all the outlets, installed new fixtures, plus more.  Very pleased with the work, pricing and the professionalism of the techs.  Will definitely use them again.

Excellent service & honest practices! They helped us navigate through the arduous process of replacing our entire electrical panel & our GFCI outlet. I plan to use them in the future for sure!

We decided to reschedule our appointment and we are glad we did. Excellent, fast work and the guys were very professional. They offered a discount for cancelling our original appointment the morning of which was appreciated. I would use this company again, hoping the scheduling issue was just a one time thing.

Great! Got my Tesla charger installed quickly and it works great. Highly recommend Tayler.

I had Mike come out and install additional outlets in my garage. His quote was reasonable and the work was scheduled promptly. Had a bit of free time when he arrived for the work, so sat in the garage chatting with him. He takes great pride in getting everything just perfect. When you see someone passionate about little details, you know it's great work. Moreover, Mike actually charged me less than the quoted price, because he took a little less time to finish up than expected. Professional work, amazing attitude. Will recommend him highly to all my friends!

Quick reply for the requested service and quote was on par with others. They were on time and did a great job on my project.  Highly recommend.

UPDATE: Still outstanding! Anthony came out to troubleshoot my driveway security floodlights which had gone into disco mode. Turned out I needed new fixtures, so he priced out cost of buying the lights through W3 or providing them myself with installation. I opted to buy new fixtures on my own. Called to schedule installation when the lights were available, and Anthony came back to finish the project. Everything went well but the fixtures needed adjustment due to placement of the sensor - the lights wouldn't turn off automatically in the morning. Anthony stopped by the same day I called to tweak the placement.

I'll continue to give W3 my business!

This company is sneaky, greedy and unprofessional - especially Larry and Joe. They are just not good people or right in the head. I would not even recommend them to my worst enemy. There are better, more reliable companies to seek out.

I placed a query on HomeAdvisor for an electrician to take take care of some lighting I would need installed on the exterior of my home.  One of the companies that called me was Electrician For Hire.  John was the guy's name.  He called me at 8 on a Saturday evening and we talked about the project that I needed done.  10-15 minutes later, John said he would have a guy out to the house the latest they can on Friday at 4pm in order to take a look and come up with a quote.  He said they stop work at 4:30.  No problem.

Fast forward to Friday.  At 4:10pm no one had shown up so I called John to ask about his technician.  He said they weren't supposed to be there until 5pm tonight.  He said it was in his notes.  However, in the Saturday discussion he told me his guys don't work past 4:30 and he asked me if his guy could be at the house at 4.  I was good with 4 because I was leaving town at 5.  I let it go for the moment as he said he would get someone out to the house now.  His technician calls and says he'll be happy to come out tomorrow (Saturday) in order to look over the project and deliver a quote.  I explained to the technician that this was outside the terms of agreement from John.  I told the technician to disregard and that I would contact John to cancel.

I sent a text message to John stating that I was disenchanted with the fact that his technician didn't even know about it until moments earlier, which means I was forgotten about, anyway.  I let him know that I will be looking for a new and more reliable electrician to handle my project.  John's response:  You Go Girl.  When I called to accost him of the disrespect, he stated, Look, I am making light of the situation.  Don't be weird about it.

Can John do the work? I don't know.  He can talk the talk, though, and make you feel like he's got your project covered.  Myself, I do not give my business to those who lie, forget, change times, or flat out disrespect.

My suggestion to those needing an electrician in my area, find a more reputable one.  Leave the kids out of your home projects.
