Best Emergency Services in Austin TX

I highly recommend these guys! They did a great job removing a chandelier in our dining room and replacing it with a new light. They also assembled the new light for me. They were very professional and courteous and friendly. Plus, their price was lower than many competitors. We have been searching for a good electrician and will definitely use them in the future.

I would recommend Dan to anyone. A humble individual who knows how to fix things. If you want an honest price and a good person I highly suggest you go with Dan!

We have been wanting to have some work done to address some lighting and electrical work. Steven was very communicative, arrived on time for the quote and we felt at ease with him and his team from the beginning. We got multiple quotes and Steven had the best price, but it was more than that. The other companies complained about what we wanted or how we wanted it done. Steven said no problem.
Showed up for the job on time. Everything went without a hitch. They cleaned up afterwards and everything looks like it's always been there.  Would absolutely hire again and recommend!!

I'm sharing how good these guys are while hoping that they won't get so booked up that they'll never have time for me again.

It's ridiculous, but the last place I thought to look for a handyman was right here on Yelp. *Forehead slap*. I hired several handymen using Thumbtack and Angie's list over the past few years but all disappointed for various reasons.

This father and son duo charge by the project, not by the hour, but they are thorough, efficient and won't stop until they've got things sorted out just right. I had a laundry list of things that needed fixing as long as your arm and they made quick work of it.

Their pricing was fair and they provided me with a carefully prepared list of each item and what materials I was responsible for as well as which materials they would supply.

We got off to a rocky start when they showed up for our first appointment one hour late, but that was never repeated.

Some things they accomplished:
- Seal deck
- weatherstripping doors (elegant solution, too)
- Drywall and painting
- plumbing repairs
- Kitchen drawer rail repair

Called Live Wire based on their positive Yelp reviews and location.
They scheduled a same-day call, showed up 15 minutes early, and fixed the issue. (Multiple tripping GFCI boxes)
Throughout, they were courteous, prompt, and professional. Highly recommend.
Thanks, Colton!

I will continue to use Efficient. Robert, one of their senior techs, just left my house and was really so helpful. He was on time, very knowledgable, very friendly, gave me tips on how to work my Carrier system, offered clear instructions on changing out filters, and liked big dogs (which makes service appointments less stressful). Chyna, who set up the appointment, was patient with trying to communicate with me as I was nuts at work, and was able to book Robert to come out the next business day. Thank you Efficient!

Great find, recommended.  I asked Austin Electric to install a security light and diagnose / resolve a mysterious electrical problem affecting several outlets, and they completed all the requested work quickly, at a lower cost than I expected, plus they communicated clearly about scheduling and scope, both listening to me and explaining what was done wrong by another contractor that caused a problem.

I had a great experience through out my projects with Justin and his crew. Justin was always responsive, showed up when he said they would, and was open to any changes that I had. This was very refreshing as most contractors I've dealt with have not been responsive and just randomly show up. I highly recommend Justin and his crew to anyone needing electrical work. The crew did great work for me and were a pleasure to work with. I'll definitely use Goat Electric again when I need more electrical work.

Did a great job installing an electric car charging outlet in my garage. Reasonable price and flexible scheduling.

Provided feedback and owner responded and essentially dismissed everything I had to say. Here is his message along with my response:

Owner:
I was made aware that you took issue with work that we recently performed for you.  It is my understanding that you took issue with the following:

-The motion sensor that was installed for your bedroom lights was meant to be installed for your bathroom lights
-The Nest security camera that we installed for you resulted in a bush in your back yard sustaining some minor damage.

I have spoken with the technician who did the installation and my estimator that priced this work for you.   I have also reviewed the invoice.  The invoice clearly states that the motion sensor was to be installed in your bedroom and you signed for the completed work. This would indicate that you were satisfied with the installation and the location / function of the motion sensor. Furthermore, the technician says that he advised you not to install the motion sensor in your bedroom.  If you would like us to move the motion sensor to another location, that can be done, but at an additional cost.

After speaking with both my estimator and installing technician, we will not compensate you for damage to a bush.  Your vegetation in the backyard is overgrown and both of my employees advised you that there may be some minor damage to the vegetation because of where you wanted us to mount the cameras.  You indicated that would not be a problem and asked us to proceed.  Again, your signature on the invoice and payment would indicate that you were satisfied with the work performed.

My response to above message:
I was NOT informed that there would be damage to my plants (see pics below) and was only informed after-the-fact, once I approached installer in the backyard during installation.

As for the bedroom light, also not correct. I directed the installer to install motion detector device in bathroom. He informed that he couldn't. At that point is when I directed to install in bedroom.

You're right, the signature represents my sign off on work performed. However, it doesn't always characterize the context of the situation. If you choose not to redress, that's fine - I'll simply share my perspective /experience in the appropriate area.

To be clear, the installer was very courteous and professional. However, soft skills doesn't always align with technical competence.

Not a five star service.

REALLY EASY TO WORK WITH!!  Polite, careful, and knowledgeable.  Does it get any better?  Thank you for making the ceiling fan install so easy.

I've had the pleasure of working with Ampology on several occasions in the past few years. I bought a house from the 50's several years ago and there were plenty of electrical projects that needed attention. The guys at Ampology have always been professional, knowledgeable, efficient and competitive in their quotes.

There are still plenty of projects on the house and I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Highly recommended! They were super helpful over the phone once (& didn't even charge me for the advice given in that emergency). Been using them ever since!

I had issues with no electrical power for about 2 of my rooms.  One room been the computer room where we have all our electronics: internet routers, alarm hard drive, WiFi and working areas.  I was very worry because this systems are essential for me but more for my wife, who is a teacher and does a lot of computer work for lessons plans, etc.
 We are thankful that were we're taking care of our electric issues by Mr. John and Mr. Steve who were super professional, skill, polite and approachable.   As soon as they came in my house they when to test and diagnose the problem that was fix in one hour.  From now on you can count on getting my business and my family.
  Once again I would like to express our gratitude for a great job done.

While they were super friendly and efficient in coming out and giving an estimate for a water heater installation, their quote was just astronomical compared to the other companies we spoke to.

We used Salt Light and electric because it was recommended by Home Adviser and they had been in business for many years.  We had been having electrical sockets go dead (4 in 2 days) and we had an indoor breaker trip because of overload.  Yes, they did a complete home inspection, and pointed out that both the outdoor breaker panel and indoor breaker panels were not to be considered safe.  The home is 40 years old but we have been the only occupants since the home was built.  It was definitely time to get things fixed!  We had both outside and inside panels completely replaced and every outlet and switch in the home was also checked and replaced.  This turned out to be a two day job for 4 electricians.  They were very professional, courteous and explained what they were doing every step of the way.  Their mantra was the customer must be happy with the work and we are. I verified they had been background checked, trained, and guarantee their work.  We are 100% satisfied with what they did.  They may not be the cheapest, but we feel we definitely got the best!

A friend of mine recommended the owner Steven Fikes to me so I went in and asked for him specifically for some work I have been looking into getting done. I was told by a colleague that he was out on a sick day so I thanked him and left.

Later that morning I'm notified by a family member that he had posted a video in a Facebook group in our community from his security footage of me walking back to my car in the parking lot, stating that someone sent their pregnant wife in regards to her husband doing illegal work and slandered me in the comments. As I am an 8 month pregnant wife, I have no idea what that was in regards to and believe he has me confused with someone/something else.

Either way, this is by far the most unprofessional thing I have ever encountered and I am still in disablief how something so insignificant got recorded and put on social media. If I could give zero stars I would. I'm confused and embarrassed to say the least.

If this is any indication of how this man conducts business, I would steer clear and far from this establishment.

Electrician Andrew Casiano and his assistant (I didn't get his name) did a very good job installing the lights and making sure everything worked fine.  My mother liked the new lights as well.

thanks!
