Best Businesses in Texas

Highly recommend Advance Wiring for any electrical job.  Tom and his son installed 2 ceiling fans on my patio, added an outlet in a closet and relocated a hanging light in my dining room.  They did an outstanding job at a reasonable price.  Will definitely use them again.

Aaron has been an awesome electrician!  Will definitely use him from now on. Does what he says he is going to do and was a great help with getting our electricity back up and safe.

Bathroom light blew out and they fixed it. They also replaced bulbs I can't reach, replaced two outlets (old house) and investigated a vent hood with a problem. Thank you Julian and Mathias!

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!!!

We hired Major Solar to install different types of lights throughout our backyard. Not only was Blake, the owner, on time (and his assistant was even a little early) they did a very thorough job and cleaned up after themselves when finished. I appreciated how Blake and his assistant made every effort to best utilize our space and when finished, he walked me through everything to make sure I was satisfied. Blake even checked with me later that day to see how the lights looked after it had gotten dark and when I told him that a couple of the lights weren't exactly angled perfectly to my satisfaction, Blake insisted on coming back some evening to correct the angle to make our trees looked smashing. Highly impressed!! This is one very satisfied customer!! Thanks!!

I just had Marble Falls Electric bring my 50 year old house & guest house up to code with new main enclosure, new breaker boxes and wiring for a hot tub.  Not only was it reasonable but the turn around time was absolutely exceptional.  They rerouted / replaced cables that were quite ugly on the outside of my house.  These guys are hard working and worth every penny.

I cannot say enough good things about Sarge Mabry Service Company.  I contacted Sarge on a Saturday afternoon about an electrical problem I was having at my home.  He arrived that evening and cheerfully solved the problem.   The prices were very reasonable and he stayed to answer any questions or concerns I had about my house.  Sarge knows his stuff.  I highly recommend Sarge Mabry Service Company.  It's nice to see there are still honest, competent electricians still around town.

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!

While I did not use this company because they only do work on commercial buildings, they recommended us to one of the less known Bowne Electrical, who did a great job on my residence in a time crunch of 4 days

Amazing company, always shows up when they say they will. Guys are funny and explain everything very well. I would highly recommend this company

Rick is our go-to AC guy!  Even though he was extremely busy due to the Texas summer - he worked us in right way and now we are COOL again!

Jimmy was a life saver!  Came out same day and saved me from worries of a wooden house and  a faulty switch!

The reviews on Yelp are always helpful and Ruiz Electric lives up to the ratings he has. Aurelio is very professional, prompt and does top notch work. He installed 3 ceiling fans, 2 pendant lights and an additional outlet for our home. All the work completed was very clean and in excellent condition.

We are re-placing a chandelier in our dining room later this month and will be using Aurelio again. His prices are very reasonable and the work he gets done in the amount of time is phenomenal! Thank you again for all of the outstanding service.

Update* - we had our chandelier installed, it was a 12 foot ceiling and Aurelio has no problem getting this done. He even changed out the electrical / chain on the new one so that it fit correctly, great work again! Thank you Ruiz Electric!

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.

Most Expensive Solution Imaginable: I said No Thanks.
Our problem was a washer drain hose line that had backed up, causing water to spill back into our laundry room annex every time we washed a load. I called 1st plumbing and they showed up as scheduled. The young man was very polite and very nice. We went under the house and looked at the lines. I wrongly thought that something needed replacing and he suggested a whole new line with PVC replacing the galvanized with a new p-trap and getting rid of the old cast iron one. That sounded great to me, if a bit overkill. I just wanted to know how much. After he retired to the van to consult with his boss, he came back with an estimate of $970! That was parts and labor (two people at a total of $180 an hour). My calculator says that $180 x 4= 720. $970-$720=$250 for around 20 feet of PVC and a few couplings. Retail on that is around $40. Now, the labor charge of $180 per hour is stratospheric to begin with, but then to tack on a couple hundred dollars for parts. Wow.
I said thanks but not thanks, paid them $35 for the call--a bargain if you know how to use the word no, and hightailed it to Harbor Freight. There I bought a big ass pipe wrench (24 inch baby) for around $13. I came back, got the vertical drain pipe off. Then I used a hand snake I had around to get to the clog--I watched a great and disgusting YouTube video on how to use it. Well worth the 15 minutes. After seemingly breaking through some minor clog, I pulled the snake back out, cleaned the threads of the pipe and the coupling, used Teflon tape to seal the deal and joined them back together. I stuck the drain hose back in and started a load. Long story short: success! Around 90 minutes, $30 if you count the hand snake I had lying around, and that was that. My savings, $940. Now, if they had said $500, I would have gone for it. $970 was outrageous. It seemed to me that the business model here is to offer the most expensive solution possible hoping for some sucker to say yes. It's worth the $35 risk for them to do that, especially when they charge $180 for labor. This one's an easy call. Go elsewhere!

A friend of mine recommended the owner Steven Fikes to me so I went in and asked for him specifically for some work I have been looking into getting done. I was told by a colleague that he was out on a sick day so I thanked him and left.

Later that morning I'm notified by a family member that he had posted a video in a Facebook group in our community from his security footage of me walking back to my car in the parking lot, stating that someone sent their pregnant wife in regards to her husband doing illegal work and slandered me in the comments. As I am an 8 month pregnant wife, I have no idea what that was in regards to and believe he has me confused with someone/something else.

Either way, this is by far the most unprofessional thing I have ever encountered and I am still in disablief how something so insignificant got recorded and put on social media. If I could give zero stars I would. I'm confused and embarrassed to say the least.

If this is any indication of how this man conducts business, I would steer clear and far from this establishment.

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.
