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!

I called three electricians recommended on Nextdoor and Scott was the only one who responded. I needed an outlet for a new dishwasher and disposal and I didn't have time to mess around with calling every electrician in town.  Scott was able to make an appointment within a two business days, contacted me well before the appointment to let me know he was running late, and did the work efficiently and for less than he quoted.  He even gave me some tips on how I could change out the GFI's in my kitchen on my own and told me to call him if I needed him to walk me through it.  This kind of honesty and integrity is hard to find these days.  I will definitely call Scott if I need any electrical work done in the future!

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.

Grant and his crew at Southern Cross were awesome to work with. I had to get two circuit panels replaced before selling a house. They were prompt, pulled all the necessary permits and scheduled everything with the city. Weeks later, when our buyer's inspector said that the breaker was not the right voltage for the line (or something, I'm no electrician) they came out the very next day and took care of it. Apparently it was nothing unsafe, just a code issue that he was being particular about. Either way, they resolved the problem very quickly. Will definitely use them next time I have electrical issues.

Oscar was great and very helpful. I got a quote from many other electricians and were waaaaay off from Oscar. They were trying to sell me something I didnt need. Oscar was honest and fair. He fixed my issue without selling me something I didnt need. I recommend him for all your electrical needs.

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.

The KW Electric team are very professional in every way: their vehicle, their professional appearance, their demeanor and they are great communicators. They were so thoughtful they way they put on paper shoe coverings before entering our home.  The stellar expertise electrician team completed multiple electrical tasks throughout our home to perfection!

Called Steven yesterday afternoon. Requested him to come first thing in the morning.  He was here on time, friendly, took care of my issue very quickly. The issue Im having faults out within 3 to 4 days.  He mention to me he would come back if the breaker wasnt the problem.  So far, so good!

I have used them several times but recently had an issue with them not warranting their work and will not use them again.
They charge an awful lot so they should warrenty their work.

Mark Manchac and his crew had to move my solid brass chandelier to a different location and replace it with a new ceiling fan.   My clients are yoga students and needed a little more cool air coming their way.  The guys at M&M had to go up in the attic to reinforce the chandelier because it weighed so much!  They went to great lengths to get it done the right way.  I appreciate that!

Allied Electric Services prioritizes people over profits.  Great group of professionals from the front office to the technicians.  You will not regret your decision to do business with this team.

The only thing that will SHOCK you is their great service!
Jim Sunvison (his real name) is a stand up electrician that will do what he has promised at the price he's quoted. I've used Jim on several occasion with great success so much so that he was a natural choice to help my Homeowners Association when we needed an electrician. What I really enjoy about Jim is that he's proactive in finding inexpensive and effective solutions to problems. He was able to install lighting in our HOA playground area and lite the place us like a Christmas tree to dissuade loitering. Vandalism and drinking in our park PLUMMETED immediately. He also assisted us with our existing infrastructure and was able to save us a ton of money.
Give Jim a call when things go on the blink................he'll help you see the light!

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.

We had three appointments set up they didn't show up on one the second one they called in late and said they wouldn't come and now this is the third hopefully they show up today. Bad service
