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.

We are doing adding a kitchen at our business and needed to upgrade the electrical panel. Made several calls to get bids from local electrical companies, but Grant with Southern Cross was the only one that got back to us immediately & gave us a timely estimate. They have been great to work with and his staff is definitely a step above your average electrician. Thanks Grant!

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!

Steven rewired my entire kitchen and replaced a sub panel in less than a day. Some sheetrock repair was needed afterwards, but a job of that magnitude comes with aftermath.  This was a good value.

Steven shows up ready to work and immediately starts getting it done, which is important if you're paying by the hour.

Steven is a licensed master electrician, Steven comes from a family of electricians.

Sent a nice invoice for my records, too.

Bryan & Art are true professionals.
After installing a circuit for us in a new location over our buffet, our microwave stopped working. I contacted them. And they came out first opportunity early in the day. The cause was the receptacle on the wall had a wire that was marginally connected. So in time with current heat, causing expansion and contraction of the wire it loosened. They reconnected the wires onto the screw connectors.  They diagnosed the problem and were in an out in less than 30 minutes. AND, when they say they will be here at a certain time, they are. I highly recommend you do business with Brian and Art of Fusion Electric.

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!

Levi and Johnny did a great job. They explained everything to me as they worked. They cleaned up after their work and put everything back in place before leaving.

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.

We were in a bind with outlets running hot and needed someone before heading on vacation (concerned about fire). Tom came out within 24 hours and charged us very reasonably for the work. He also did some safety checks we did not know we needed. It's so nice to have a knowledgeable electrician and not get overcharged! We will certainly call Tom again and refer to our friends/family! Thanks CTE! Kristi

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!

Not impressed!  Ricky came to the house, seemed nice enough at first and went on about how he got sick of contractors ripping people off so decided to start his own company.  Turned out to be worse himself in the end.  Hired to replace 1  breaker,  and figure out why 2 sockets weren't working.  Rplaced the braker and said the external one needed replacing also - funny that the Ricky didn't find that when he came out and inspected.  Agreed to have them replace the second one.  They spent HOURS (they charge by the hour) trying to figure out what the problem with the sockets was, then said he didn't have the right equipment, and would need to come back again.  My husband called Ricky to discuss and query why the technician didn't have the right equipment with him... he suggested that 'when people remodel they cut wires' - we haven't remodeled, overall he was dismissive and rude! All in all they did about 1 hours actual work and charged $600.  Will NEVER use them again.

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.

These guys tried to gouge me something fierce today. I had a leaky condensate pump, simple replacement of the pump was solution confirmed by the technician.

I looked up the part by model number on amazon, $45. He wanted $600 for the part and install. I politely asked him to breakdown the price of the repair for the part and labor, HE REFUSED! I asked him to show me the pump he was going to install, again HE REFUSED! He could not and would not justify his $600 price tag for this job.

I went to Lowe's, bought a replacement pump for $72, and it took all of 15 minutes to install (The technician quoted me 1.75 hrs for labor on this replacement) /facepalm.

I think he wanted me to pay him $300/hr to go watch Netflix in his truck!
