Best Chandelier Installation in Austin TX

What an awesome experience we had with Darin Maxwell and Duncan from Max Electrical Services. Responsive to our first call, a very fair estimate, on-time arrival, efficient, professional work and, best of all, a genuine, down-to-earth personality. We were so impressed. We highly recommend Darin and Max Electrical Services!

Russel showed up on time. Came in and figured out what I was looking for and got to work right away. He was fast and clean. Did the work for a great price. If I need any further electric work done, he will be the first company I call.

I asked Scott about adding two outlets in my garage. He gave me a free quote, I accepted, and he quickly fit me into his schedule. The work was completed in three hours and he did a great job. Now we have two outlets with dedicated circuits to each and the flexibility to add more later on. Thanks, Scott!

Installed chandelier and did a great job!! Fast response time and was able to schedule me in quickly. Also helped me find a solution to an electrical problem I had. Will recommend to others!

Upon leaving the successfully completed job, in less then an hour I must add, Alejandro asked, Are you happy. I can say unequivocally, 100% yes!! Same day service even. I truly appreciate his willingness to fit me in on the same day I called.

I needed help installing 2 light switches for our camper van conversion that is to say low voltage, 12v, electrical work.

Alejandro only asked a few questions to assess the job and knew exactly what needed to be done.

I give Alejandro 5 stars for quality, speed, precision, customer service and friendliness.

Don't bother calling around. Raptor will do a great job at fair rates!

These gentlemen are personable, polite, and efficient. But also perhaps more importantly, they are smart about their profession! This is not often a usual combination of traits in young trade professionals.  

I had a multi-faceted job -- adding both under-counter and overhead lighting; adding an outlet; and moving a switch. But my most vexing issue was finding and solving an electrical mystery that involved the dedicated plug for my refrigerator and my circuit breaker. All the jobs were done quickly and well!

For my convenience, my jobs were divided on 2 different days. As the vagaries of Texas electric power would have it, when Dylan came the first day my power had just gone out. Despite working in partial darkness, he took on the task at hand with good humor and great diligence. The results were just as I wished despite the handicapping set of circumstances.

Both Max and Dylan came the second day, completing all my other tasks in record time. Max also uncovered a potential code violation perpetuated by the original builder cutting corners. This issue was unknown to me and could have had a dangerous outcome if not discovered and corrected.

I was exceptionally happy with the quality of their work, their punctuality, level of communication, their politeness, their business model and professional demeanor. The big bonus -- they clean up after themselves --  which is much appreciated! :-)

My doorbell system stopped working and they not only responded quickly, but came out the same day to repair the issue. Great value and customer service. Would highly recommend!

This was our first time using Hart Electrical, and we could not be more pleased. Max arrived on time and did an OUTSTANDING job from start to finish (which included cleaning).
Price was excellent. Service was excellent.
We will definitely use this company again and strongly recommend to anyone needing electrical work.

Got a few quotes for installing an EV charger in the garage. Different companies provided different solutions ranging from setting up a new 50A circuit from the main line on the other end of the house to pulling in the unused 30Amp dryer outlet. Homer's solution was much more simple to just pull it from the breaker box in the garage. He clarified that at night times when the usage is low, the rest of the house won't need much and I could likely safely pull 50Amp without tripping the breaker. And if I did, he said I could just use the charger at half power instead. Cost a fraction of what the others were quoting. He was able to get it all done the next day, took about 30mins.

Will update the review once I use the outlet for a few weeks.

He did a great job.  I found him on Yelp at around 4pm.  Texted back and forth about my problem.  He came over after finishing another job and had it fixed by 8pm for a fair price.  What more could you ask for!

Fast, prompt and very  courteous. Did not feel I needed a second opinion. Would highly recommend

We hired this company a little less than a year ago to put in all new lights and fix outlets that were not working. On one light the electrician installed a new switch a way he was not supposed to and it was not until he showed back up later that day with his boss to look at it that we were even told of the issue. They had to put an extra hole in the ceiling of a bathroom that is covered with a plastic plate now. They hung several lights on chains that we have since had to redo because they were having from the cord itself and not the chain. The outlet they fixed have all 1 by 1 stopped working. And now less than a year after paying them hundreds of dollars to do all this work half the outlets in my home don't work and I'm now paying a new electrician to come fix everything.

The staff was very nice but not knowledgable when it comes to actually doing the installation or repair of lights or sockets.

Very responsive and he came out to give us a consultation on work and options. Once we agreed to a plan of action, we scheduled a time, however, once work was scheduled, they arrived late and unprepared for the actual work breaking two pieces of my chandelier and then refusing to do the work as it was too difficult for them to do even after agreeing to them renting the needed equipment to do the work.  I requested that my pieces be replaced and all I have received has been excuses for not having replaced them. I wish I could recommend them as they were very responsive at the beginning.o lo

I have used this company twice now and I they will be my go too every time. They give great prices and excellent service.

Tried to contact Remedy Electric today for a rough quote for some electric work that we needed done in our backyard.  We had an above ground pool installed and required a junction box at the sight of the pool.  

I was told by Teresa, and I quote, We do not provide free Estimates,the fee will be 50.00 dollars This will allow the electrician to Determine what is needed to give you the price, If you accept the Estimate, at the Compilation of Project the 50.00 Dollars will be removed if charged.

I'm really shocked.  Of the twenty-two companies with certified and bonded professionals I contacted, today, all of them gave me a rough quote, and every single one of them offered to come and provide a true quote at no charge.  I'm just really surprised that this company refuses to be competitive in its own market!  

There's no way I would ever entertain future work with a company so disinterested in garnering my business.  To not even _try_ to offer something... it just smacks of being completely disinterested, and that's not a good sign in a field where attention to detail, and commitment to perfection is vital!  

Strangely surprising, and a complete disappointment.

[Also, whenever a professional responds so illiterately, that's a bad sign, as far as I'm concerned.]

--------------------------------------

7/7:

Teresa,
I contacted 21 other companies who do bonded, certified electrical work to get quotes, yes, I did.  I did not say that I contacted them solely by phone.  In truth, it was a combination of work done through email and by phone.  Why that comes as such a shock, I don't know.  

Maybe it's just that electronics (like computers and cell phones) are foreign to you, but a lot of us use them to communicate on a daily basis. You seem so confused by the quotation process!  

You asked how your competitors knew the particulars of the job?  Simple. They asked me.

As I said, I was looking for a rough quote, and got them from several of your competitors without any confusion, or contempt.  The top three that I'm workings with-- companies rated higher than yours on both Yelp and Angie's List-- saw your response, and had commentary of their own to add. Like, one said, Why doesn't she just try asking those questions beforehand, rather than ranting about them in response! While another added, How difficult is it to respond in email, like we did?  It seems like your competitors weren't nearly as confused about having a conversation on the internet.  For you, mores the pity.

I'm not looking for a handyman service.  I'm looking for an insured company with top-notch professionals.  A company committed not only to excellent service, but to doing a job-- not cheaply -- but economically.  And, seriously, if you think that's a _bad_ thing... it's really no wonder several of your customers complain about your prices (look it up).

Speaking of looking things up!  You might want to look up the word 'slander' in a dictionary (to do this, get in your car, drive down to the public library, ask the librarian what happened to the card catalog, find out they've been out of use for the last ten years, then ask for help on how to do a search on the internet-- I know how much technology confuses you).  

You've accused me of maliciously or falsely defaming your company, but what I've done here is simply quote (and verbatim, too) from your response to me on Angie's List.  Then I provided my opinion on our communique.  Everything that I've posted here has been 100% factual.  No lies necessary.  Let's face it, lady, I don't have to lie to make you look bad, you do just fine on your own.  

By the way, the word you're actually looking for is 'libel', not slander (one is written, while the other is spoken). I get that you have problems with words, though, so....  I think it would really help if you invested in a dictionary (or, and I'll give you this piece of advice for free (despite how valuable my time is!) You can always use dictionary.com.  Very handy!  Don't worry, no need to thank me!).

Before I go, I had a final word about this cheap, cheap, cheap thing you keep doing.  You said that I said I was looking for the work to be done cheap.  Here's what I said in my original Angie's List response: I'm hoping it's something we can get done simply and relatively cheaply. You have several specials, and I'm not sure if any of them could be used/combined, but I'd really like to see if I could get a quote for the parts/labor.  

It's sad when a customer can't ask for quality and value without being crudely mocked by the company they came to for service.  Why anyone would ever work with you... when they can see, word-for-word, how little respect you have for not only a potential new customer, but for service done at a value, too... is beyond me.

Dustin was great. He was prompt and courteous, and I was highly satisfied with the work. I will absolutely call him again for any future electrical work, and I highly recommend LiveWire Electrical Services.

Leslie Ledwell has excellent communication skills, fair pricing, and excellent electrician skills.

TLDR;
Leslie is a military veteran and is now a licensed master electrician.   From early communication to bid to scheduling to showing up to do the job, he communicated well every step of the way.  There were no surprises or additional fees.
I highly recommended Ledwell Electric for my next project!

While using the yelp project feature, I was searching for an electrician to help me with a faulty circuit breaker that keeps tripping in the panel of my house. Veteran Electric reached out, and it was a rocky start to say the least. When they called, I inquired if they had any availability the same week that I called. Unfortunately they had no openings; no worries... kind of expected it. So then I booked for the following week from 2pm - 4pm because that was the earliest that I could accommodate for them. We were set.

A few days before the appointment, I got a call from the scheduler, asking if I could move up my appointment earlier to 12 - 2pm. I told them that I couldn't because I would still be at work and that 2-4pm is when I could be home. The scheduler had an awkward silence over the phone and said, ... okay... ... we'll keep your scheduled time then.

The big day came and it was the day before the freeze here in New Braunfels. I got home right at 2pm waiting for a confirmation text... Nothing... no big deal its only 2pm. 1 hour later (now 3pm), I received a text from the electrician, saying that he was running at least 1 hour late because of their last job running over. Although I do appreciate the text, this was outside of the 2 hour window as scheduled. The electrcian was very professional and communicative, but it was already outside of the scheduled window.

Bottom line, things happen, but I just wish they kept their appointment times. Although one guy may be busy, it would've been nice if they could dispatch another electrician to make their commitments. Maybe in the near future I'll give them a try.

Hayward is the salt of the earth professionally and politeness wise. He is like a disciplined scientist with details. Five-thumbs up to Colvin Electric on staffing. I had several electrical outlets in my home that were no longer working. Hayward taught me a little something about GFI master switch outlets. Fantastic! I had Colvin Electric at my home once before to fix a ceiling fan. I had to buy a missing part first. Hayward took care of this too! The pricing was reasonable and affordable. NOW, I am considering asking Hayward and Colvin Electric to add more power sockets all around my house.

I had a second occasion to use ATX Electrical and I can say that they are fantastic. What do you want from an electrician? I want someone that is responsive, takes their time to explain the situation and does good work. These guys hit it out of the park in every way. You will not be disappointed.  These guys were great. They were responsive, knowledgeable and on time. You could not ask for more.
