Best Electricians in Texas

I have to chime in - yep, Paul is great.  I called on Monday, non-emergency, he had my kitchen light fixed by Tuesday.  It was wired wrong from the get-go (the builder's guys wired the thing wrong and it lasted 8 years that way...)  Anyway, Paul fixed that and fixed the light.  It is a fluorescent.  Very reasonable cost (lower than another estimate I received on Thumbtack) and very pleasant person.  Thanks Paul!

Edge installed a 50 amp plug, breaker, and interlock for backup power from a portable generator. The appointment was within a week of my initial request for a quote, which was one of the most affordable.

The electrician, Tercio, was fast, efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions, got everything installed and tested, and gave a simple training on how to use it.

I have been using M-1 Electric for the past few months on different projects at properties that we manage.  Manny and Luis are very professional and responsive. Super easy to get a hold of and very affordable looking forward to the next project!!

We had nine recessed lights installed and a ceiling fan moved in our living room. Due to communication problem on both our parts, they cut the holes for the recessed lights in the wrong places on the ceiling. To James' defense he was very willing to correct the error and make it right, including discounting the fee since it would cost more to get the drywall repaired. Overall the work was good and expedient and finished within a day, including having to redo the holes (basically starting over).

Lucky us, our AC went out on the first two hot days of May :( After the AC repairman visited determined the issue was at the breaker, a friend referred me to Brad. I called him at the end of the day, he was able to come the very next morning 8a! Brad and his apprentice arrived a few minutes early and promptly inspected the AC unit which led him quickly to the breaker panel. He identified a bad breaker switch for the AC and replaced it - a simple $10 part and we were good to go! No upsell or fancy talk I've gotten from other various vendors in the past, just quick, simple, honest and professional service! Asked for some ballpark discussion about changing our kitchen and living room with canned lights, he provided recommendation and competitive estimate for the future job. We will absolutely be calling Brad again in the future! Thank you -

I have had the pleasure of using this company twice now and I can say they are fantastic!!!!  Monte was very quick to come to my rescue and fix my issue not once but twice and both times neither were his problem!!!  I would highly recommend him and his company.

Ace Electric is very professional and does quality work at a reasonable price with exceptional customer service!  We recently had them do several electrical projects including where they remounted and replaced outlets in our kitchen as part of a remodel.  With COVID-19, we were delayed in getting our backsplash completed for a month after Ace Electric did the initial electrical work and as we needed the outlet covers custom cut...Ace Electric recommended allowing the backsplash installation to complete so it would be just right.  A month later...they actually came back out with no trip charge just to custom cut and fit the outlet covers....very impressed!

Tito was awesome, responsive and great value! If you need an EV charger installed, Tito is your guy.

I needed an electrician ASAP after a small fire in my home in Buda, TX.  Based on the reviews in YELP, I called Bob and explained my situation.  Bob was able to come the same day.  He thoroughly evaluated our electrical system and restored electricity.  His fee was very reasonable.  Bob is a super nice person, and is extremely knowledgeable. I feel much safer after his evaluation.  His fee was also reasonable,  Thanks Bob.

Super friendly, very communicative, worked quickly and efficiently. He was super knowledgeable, flexible, and had very fair pricing. We will definitely be using his services again!

Alejandro did several jobs at our home and my husband and I are very happy with the results! We will definitely be calling him for any other jobs that come up. We highly, highly recommend him!

Brian with Allgood Electric has been incredible to work with. Lightning struck my house, and we needed lots of diagnostics and repairs. He called me every day and took a long time explaining every finding, every option, and every step. He is thorough and patient. I felt confident in his knowledge and work. will be using them for all my future electrical needs.

Johnny answered the phone the first time I called. He was able to give me an estimate based on a photo and the details I shared. He scheduled the service within three days. He called before he arrived and was on time. The job turned out to be a little more complicated than we expected but he came up with a solution. He is friendly, professional, and does quality work that I felt like I could trust. I would definitely call him again. Thanks, Johnny!

This electrician came here on a holiday just to make sure we are safe.  He was friendly and he showed us the problems.  He did a great job.  We found him in line and called because he had great reviews.  I am so glad we found him. He is awesome.

Jeff came out today to fix a light in our closet that kept burning out. He called ahead to let us know he was coming, showed up on time. Explained and fixed the problem. I would definitely recommend there services. Great job.

Thanks Jeff

I'm really perplexed why they show 4.5 stars. They are unresponsive. I spoke to someone briefly and they asked me to text them my information and they'd get back to me with a time for an estimate. That's not happened. A simple reply. I would use someone to do work who is reliable.

After reading the reviews further, it looks like being unresponsive is a common trend with this company. Also William seems to have a lot of excuses in his replies. Be sure to read beyond all the 5 star ratings.

Lightning Electrical just *SAVED* me money by helping me figure out an issue in my new rental. They could have just as easily showed up, fixed the very minor issue and still charged me their consultation fee, but on the phone they walked me through what to investigate and look into and it solved my issue. I feel horrible that I DON'T have a reason to pay them now, because that type of support and those type of ethics are exactly the type of companies I want to work with!

Justin Pate (JP) runs ATX Lighting. He doesn't do any of the work nor is he an expert, which makes it hard for him to get the work done right. His business model is to sell easy jobs for journeymen. It seems to be a revolving door of employees. And as far as I can tell, JP never checks the work after it is done.

I hired JP in October 2022 for some simple additions of canned lighting and exhaust in my kitchen and bathroom. Total cost was $4600. The work was sloppy, not to code, JP was pushy and short tempered in all our interactions, by Xmas of 2022 the work was only half finished, and half the home without power. In January of 2023 I contacted JP to let him know he still needed to come finish the job, and he laughed at me and told me that whatever I still needed was between me and his worker who had since been fired or quit.

Since I had the paperwork and photos to prove that JP had not fulfilled his obligations, I logged a complaint with the app Thumbtack which I had hired ATX Lighting through. Thumbtack restricted his account until he resolved the issue with me. JP denied my complaint, and claimed his work was 100% complete. He also made up a nice story about me threatening him and how he no longer felt safe at my job site. But I had the receipts.

By February of 2023, JP began to send friends of his to finish the job, but he never himself came to inspect the previous work or understand what work was still outstanding or in need of repair. After 4 separate trips over the course of the entire month of February, which involved fixing one problem and causing another, these new workers still had not completed the job. So, I finished the work myself. The delays cost me about as much as what I hired ATX Lighting for in the first place.  

Late in the evening of February 28, JP contacted me demanding I take down my bad review. I told him he hadn't actually fulfilled his end. To that, JP told me karma is real and that he would send his friend to collect money for the recent work (of which no money was owed by me--the job having long been paid for in full).

So, this morning, March 1 2023, I'm updating my review here to set the record straight.

If you like crappy service and poor selection this place is for you! While they did have the bus fuses I was looking for I was primarily in the store to buy a 50amp zinsco circuit breaker. we dont sell circuit breakers I was told. Now what kind of electric supply store doesn't sell circuit breakers? I'll tell you, a crappy one.

StarTech fixed multiple electric issues and installed a whole house surge protector today. They were awesome. The team was super professional and really efficient with the multiple issues we had. We highly recommend them for any electric needs !! Kudos to StarTech Electric!
