Best Businesses in Texas

Absolute Electric will figure out your electric troubles, and explain it in a way that we can understand. They do more than just hang a ceiling fan. They make sure it's right and safe. How come that light won't come on? Call them - They'll figure it out!

Prompt, personable, efficient, fair price but not below market. We will hire him again!

They showed up punctualy and quickly diagnosed the problem with my Service Panel Box. Laid new wire and rewired wall box and no more breakers tripping. Definitely a professional crew.

GREAT service and staff at Southern Cross...they stay busy, but it's no wonder... professional, tidy, friendly & honest...they are worth waiting for!  Have used them for a couple of years now and hope to for many more to come... THANKS guys!

Our house started acting like Stranger Things all of a sudden; the lights were flickering and the fans would lose power, you could hear the fans slow down almost to a stop then speed back up to normal power.  This would happen every 30-40 seconds, it was maddening and obviously a bit worrisome. I called O.N. first thing in the morning and Oscar sent a team out within the hour. Yon and Joshua got to work immediately and found the issue, Oscar even showed up and explained everything to me.  Turned out the breaker box on the outside of the house was borked.  When Oscar turned a breaker off and back on, you could literally hear electricity crackling. Oscar gave me an estimate which I thought was fair and Yon and Joshua got to work.  After a few hours the house was no longer haunted and I had a proper breaker box set up.  I wish I had before and after pictures, my house is an older house and the previous box looked like the rusty insides of a 1970s AMC Gremlin.  

Highly recommend O.N. Electric, Oscar, Yon and Joshua saved the day.

Bob and his company did a great job installing our back porch outlets, fans and TV's a few years ago. I have recommended him and his company to many people. They do good quality work at a good value.

Very quick to respond and easy to work with. Honest work at a very good price. Will use again.

We have been planning to upgrade fans and lighting and install new fixtures throughout our home for some time. We knew this would be a big project and I wanted to make sure we found a qualified company to complete it. I reached out to KW Electric and they responded right away to my request for a quote and offered first an initial and, later, final walk-through to ensure the plan matched what we wanted perfectly. Dennis P. and his apprentice, Joseph, took the time to thoughtfully plan and install everything including a 72 fan and recessed lights in our 24' great room. I wasn't sure how an electrician would accomplish what we wanted, but KW Electric team explained their process every step of the way. They were quiet, kind, courteous, and responsive, always taking care to clean up the area they had finished in, before moving to the next. They are fully licensed and insured and I would recommend this company without any reservations to anyone looking for high-quality, comprehensive electricians. We have a couple more projects in mind and I look forward to working with Dennis in the future. Thank you, KW Electric, for helping us bring our vision to life.

Modern Electric provided super professional interactions, clear communication, and a quick turn around.  

We needed to run power through our attic for a new outlet for a projector in the ceiling.  The attic is super cramped, itchy, and really uncomfortable to navigate.  The Modern electric team provided the outlet at their standard rate, despite the extra difficult access.  

We also shopped around price and Modern Electric the best value by far.
Highly recommend!

Unprofessional, incompetent and pads there invoices with additional time

We used M&M Electric run power to our new shop. They showed up on time and got the job done at the estimate provided. We will be using them to wire the rest of the shop when we are at that phase in the process.
Fantastic job!

Very professional! Arrived when promised, diagnosed and corrected problem. Michael, the dispatcher, and Jim, the tech, were great!

We had wanted to do some electrical work around the house but kept putting it off thinking it would be too expensive and not sure how to get everything done.  Called Sunvison based on another Yelper's recommendation and very glad we did.  Jim came out to our house, listened to what we wanted, and provided a lot of great advice.  His quote was much less than I expected so we scheduled him to start the job as soon as he could.  His team was out the next week and they got right to work.  

The electricians, Fernando and Pedro, were very professional and had us double check everything before they cut into the walls.  They were very flexible around our schedule and gave us a lot of choices on how to solve our problems.  Quality work done everywhere and we're very happy with the results.  They didn't rush anything, took their time to make sure the job was done right and that we were happy with everything.

Jim and his team will do a great job at a very fair price and they won't leave the job site a wreck.  They didn't leave until we were 100% satisfied.  My only regret is waited so long to call to get the work done - love having the new lights up and not having dark spots in rooms.  I will be calling Jim in the future for any/all electrical work in my home.

Tomas is an honest businessman who goes above and beyond for a very low, but fair price.  I had some electrical issues in my home and called him to come and take a look.  He gave me a very fair estimate and was back at my house a couple of days later to do the work.  It was in the middle of summer, so being that it is Austin, it was incredibly hot.  He worked nonstop and worked very hard all day until the job was finished.  He was up in the attic (again, think Austin and Summer) rewiring something in my guest room, adding an outlet and the wiring for said outlet outside, adding an outlet and the wiring in our utility room, and so forth.  I will only use CTE for my electrical work going forward.  As a person who is an independent contractor myself, all you have to go on is your honesty and you're only as good as your last job.  Tomas is as honest and does better work than most anyone I have come across, in any field.  I highly recommend CTE.  There is not a better electrical company in Central Texas.

Wow so much to say about Eskew electric. All the guys with this company are really great guys who do fantastic work. You can tell when someone cares about the quality of work they do and I must say that Eskew electric has that going on. I've heard they have been in business for a really long time here in Austin so glad to have found out about this electric company. Look no further these guys are great to work with!

I found KDR on yelp after my usual electrician's phone number was disconnected. I went down the yelp list, and they were the first ones to answer my phone call.  I was transferred to someone who asked if I was at home, and wanted to walk me through some basic checks, in case it was a simple problem and didn't want me to have to waste a service call if I could fix it.

It was a broken outdoor outlet, which I needed for my invisible fence. They dispatched someone immediately, who quickly diagnosed the issue. They ran out to buy a weather proof outlet, and promptly fixed the issue. I had already prearranged a credit card payment with their admin office, and signed the bill on the ipad, and was emailed a receipt. Couldn't have asked for better service! Thanks KDR and I will be a repeat customer.

Unfortunately I am one of the apparently many that have had horrible experiences with Dunman Electric. My first mistake was not looking at yelp before hiring them. However, both my mother and brother used them around 6 years ago and had no issues so it didn't even cross my mind.

I called Dunman on Tuesday 9/11/18 to get a quote for installing two ceiling fans I had purchased. The receptionist, Becky, was incredibly nice and told me that they charge $95 per fan if there is already existing blocking, or $120 per fan if there is no blocking. This seemed like a reasonable price, so I scheduled the installation for 9/14/18 and was very pleased they were able to fit me in so quickly. My second mistake was not getting these prices in writing.

I scheduled the time frame for 10am-12pm because I have two roommates that work late and sleep in, but I got a call at 9 am that the technicians would be there in 15 minutes. They were at the house 5 minutes later. Thankfully, my roommate woke up to my call to let them in and my parents were able to get to the house quickly to meet them. It was a bit stressful and I had spend 15 minutes of work time dealing with it, but I let it go because I know these things happen.

Then, when the technicians started they did not place any sort of plastic down under the first fan so my roommate's bed, dressers, and floor was COVERED in insulation (which had fiberglass in it) and drywall dust. They shook out her comforter and vacuumed the floor when they were done, but they still left a huge mess and we had to to a much more extensive cleaning later before she could sleep that night.

Next, there was an issue with the fan blades. The fan blades had two sides with different colors. They installed them black side down without asking which color we preferred. This was partially our mistake for not making clear which side to do before they started, but when asked to flip them they said, Well I picked the black side because it matched the furniture. It is not a technician's job to decide which color blade looks better in someone else's house. He then said it would be another $80 to flip the blades. This was quite annoying but, again, I just let it go and figured I would just figure out how to flip them later.

But then came time to pay. They finished and said the total was $569.  
That is well over double the price I was told. They said they charged $170/hour, it took 3 hours, and there was an extra fee because I had not had any blocking for the fans. Unfortunately, my mom did not realize what they had quoted me and filled out a blank check I had left.

They also left their ladder in the garage, as well as the old lights and trash from the ceiling fan packaging in piles in the rooms.

I was still at work but I immediately called back the office and relayed everything that had happened to the receptionist to figure out what was going on. She told me she would pass my complaints on to a manager, who would get in contact with me after she talked to the technicians. I called back after an hour of not hearing from them. The receptionist informed me my case had been escalated to the owner and he would get in contact with me, however he was at an electrical emergency and it may not be until later that afternoon before I heard from him. I never heard from him. At this point I put a stop payment on the check so it would not be cashed before I had a chance to talk to Craig.

I had to call them back myself Monday. When I finally got in touch with him he informed me that while, yes, his receptionist had told me $120 per fan, the lowest he would go for the service was $450. $125 per fan installation plus $100 per fan for the blocking.

At this point I had already had to take a half day off of work and spent the entire weekend stressing about the situation. I am a first time, single homeowner in my 20's and I do not have $300+ laying around for a job I thought would be much cheaper. I would never have agreed to let this company do the work if I had gotten a quote for this amount upfront. It is not a good feeling to feel like you have been scammed. From the looks of the other reviews it seems like I'm not the first person that has felt this way after hiring them. On the plus side, they have taught me to always get any quotes for work in writing.

I would strongly advise anyone looking for an electrician to look elsewhere. There are plenty of honest companies in Austin. If you insist on using Dunman, make sure you get everything in writing. In the end, I agreed to this price to get all of this behind me and to keep from missing any more work, not because I thought it was fair or just. I truly hope Craig and everyone else at Dunman learns from this experience and can provide better service for their customers.

Bait and switch to hook you on services.  Too expensive abs not returning calls after they got paid.
