Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

This is the second time in 18 months that I have used Cappadonna. They are professional, courteous and terrific electricians. They go above and beyond ... example...offered to help clean up the hard to reach areas near where they were working.  Great employees and great attitudes .... I highly recommend.

First time I used them. Asked price to install smart thermostat and got whole system check and install for $189. Not bad. On time. Very professional. Not pushy to sell you services.

We are a repeat customer - we've used LTX for new construction as well as small repairs and installations. Can't say enough - great communication, on time, friendly, and thorough. If you're looking for someone reliable who does it right the first time; Brad knows his stuff. You won't be disappointed!!

Great electrician! He came out and fixed my issue in about 2 minutes, but he took the extra time (at no additional cost) to rewire my GFCI outlets the correct way so that the issue wouldn't happen again in the future. Hugely appreciated and would definitely recommend.

This is the second time we have used Wheat Electrical. Once during the holidays where I failed to cover the ends of the outdoor light plugs and we blew a fuse on one side of our house! I called several companies and no one could come for several days. Ed answered the phone and was working out of town on a job but sent someone to our house within 2 hours. Today he came over to install ceiling fans and he and his helper, Jose were both so polite.
Wheat Electric will always be the first company I call for any electrical needs!!!

Gary is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He has been a tremendous help on our project

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!!!

David and his team are very thorough and did everything we requested.
I recommend this group for repair and new electrical projects. We have been adding track lighting, recessed lighting and adding switches to our home, they have been able to do it all and at a very reasonable price.

I called three different electricians and couldn't get a hold of anyone. When I called Edge, I was connected with Kelly. After I explained the problem I was having, Kelly quickly identified the issue and walked me through how to fix it myself, no appointment necessary. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable electrician in Buda, call Edge--and ask for Kelly!

Norman did an amazing job adding an extra light outside my house. Prices are very reasonable, he is willing to accommodate your wishes and very punctual. Would use again on other projects.

Amazing service! These guys came out the day I called them and fixed several electrical arcing issues with outlets, ceiling fan dimmers, and bathroom vent motors. They were very nice, professional and very affordable! I will absolutely call these guys out again the next time something comes up!

I hired Hill Electric to hang a chandelier and had a great experience with them. They were recommended to me by the consignment shop where I sold some light fixtures. I ordered a new chandelier for my foyer that was going to be a challenge to hang because of its shape and the height of my ceiling. After I called Hill Electric, I felt at ease with their expertise and professionalism. They told me exactly how they would approach the job and what to expect. They were very careful in the process, which I greatly appreciated. I found their pricing to be fair and their service to be top notch.

Steven did a great job with project I had. Polite, punctual, and friendly, and he does really good work.   I will definitely be reaching out to him again the next time I need electrical work done.

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!

This company is the only one that's ever done electric work on our 30-year-old foreclosure home and it needed a lot of electric help. This is a family business and the brothers have very high standards. During the most recent repairs, I was taking with the city inspector when he came through for the final inspection. I told him I was very happy with CRI electric and he agreed, they always go above and beyond. I won't trust anyone else with our electric work now. I wish they were a national business.
On the administrative side, they are very well organized as well. They provide emailed invoices and accept credit card payments. It is a small business, but its organized and as modern as any transnational.

Awesome work, on time and professional service. Electric work was done in a timely manner

Second review of Fusion, we use these guys because they are good, efficient, polite and provide good value. I hate reviewers that complain about tradesman that do work you and I can't. Art and Nathan were a little late today but they called and said they would be. When they got here we went over our list of electrical wants, they listened and got right to work. There was absolutely no resting for these guys, they worked hard for 4 hours and deserve every compliment they get. We will keep using Bryan and company because they represent hard working people doing work that makes us happy.

This is a review of the experience that we has with Ware Electric. Amazing company/electrician, even though the company is only about a year old. We needed a 14-50A outlet installed in addition to our wall charger for our 2 EVs. Since the desired location was on the opposite side of the garage from the electric panel, it was a large project. A long conduit over the corner of the ceiling has to be installed to support the electric wiring. We wanted to ensure we find the best quality company, not the cheapest ones, who can do quality work while not overcharging.

We initially shopped around a few electric companies and decided to go with Ware because of his responsiveness, sincerity and honesty, as well as good reviews from others. His also matched the pricing of another company even though he is using quality materials.

Robert, the owner, is extremely up-front, honest and hardworking. Not only did he not try to upsell us a larger breaker like another electrical company, he was willing to accommodate our busy work schedules and come out on a Sunday to do the install (that's good Taiwanese work ethics!)

He definitely did not disappoint. Since it was quite a big project, I was impressed that he did almost the whole install by himself, only using another personnel to help him finish up. It was a 5-6 hour long install but we can tell how meticulous he was as well as the quality of work he does. The outlet was installed perfectly and our garage floor was vacuumed. Not only did he asked us to immediately try the EV chargers to make sure it worked, he also fixed a loose light fixture for us at the house he noticed. We definitely need support more of these hard-working, quality electricians/young companies and not cheap out like some other builders just to make a quick dollar. We will definitely use him again for all our electrical projects in the future. Keep up the good work Robert and Ware Electric!

I Contacted Mr. Electric after being referred by Home Advisor where he has a 4.5 rating from 146 reviews.  I told them that I had a switch in my fuse box that would not stay in the on position.  I explained that the fuse went to our spare bedroom and guest bath and that the home was only 3 years old.  I then asked how much they charge by the hour.  She told me they don't work by the hour but by the job.  I was also told that it would cost $125 to send an electrician to diagnose the problem but that he would tell me how much the job would cost before proceeding.

Contacting and scheduling the inspection was easy and the two technicians, who arrived were polite and professional at 11:15 am.  They finished before 12:30 pm and part of that time was used when they left our house to get supplies/parts?

Neither electrician told us what the problem was before proceeding to fix the problem.  My husband signed a work order and gave them a credit card.  He was not given a copy of the signed work order.  They left and said the office would email an invoice to me.  I got the bill by 2:00pm.
Here is what the invoice said:

Performed diagnostic and found that CFL bulbs in bathroom shorted out compromising the switches and AFCI breaker.  Replaced AFCI breaker to affected circuit. Replaced compromised switches to affected circuit. Informed customer that if problem persists the fixture will need to be changed.   I was charged $793.97.  

After reviewing the bill, I called a couple of other electrical repair companies and read the description of work performed from the invoice and asked then what they thought it would cost to fix.  I was told that it should cost between $250 - $300.  

The bill included:  Basic Diagnostic; 1 Breaker 15 - 20 AMP POLE AFCI;  2 SINGLE POLE SWITH 15 AMP; 3 LED BULBS AND A 3 YR ADVANTAGE PLAN.

1. I had asked for their 15% discount that was offered on the Home Advisor site - but did not get it.
2. I did not ask for a 3 yr protection plan.
3. I was never told how much the job would cost before they did the work.
4. I was not given a copy of the signed work order.
5.   I have extra LED bulbs - had they asked.
6. The electricians spent approximately 1hour on this project.

I called Mr. Electric and talked to Jim.  I told him the above story and I told him that it was entirely too costly for the work that was performed.
I gave him 2 options:

1. They could come out and remove all that they had done and give me my money back or:
2. I would pay Mr. Electric $300.00 for the job that was done.

Jim said he needed to talk with the owner and that $300 was not fair to Mr. Electric but he would call me back later in the day.

Jim did call me back and we went back and forth but he finally said he would refund the credit card $493.97.  The refund was done quickly - the next day.

I am telling you my experience with Mr. Electric.  You will need to decide if you need the hassle or not.

It's been 6 years now and the unit has stopped working for three days every summer. Have 4 years remaining on the warranty. Good that we don't pay money to get back up and running just with a lot of sweat. They are nice good people. Not their fault the units are not good quality. They fix it as fast as they can.
