Best in San Antonio TX

The best electrician in San Antonio! Gerald is  professional and very experienced. His prices are fair & his work is excellent.

Vela Electric is owned by Mr. Joe Vela.  He is a well known person in this town.  We here at the Frio Co. Sheriff's Department have utilized his services for at least ten years and we find him to be a very reliable and fair manager of his business.  He will do almost any reasonable job, electrical and moving, plus he and his crew are trustworthy and punctual.  He will give you fair estimates before he does the job and he will tell you if the job is within the range of his companies' abilities or not.  You can be up-front with him and he will treat you respectfully.

Had these guys out to look at a annoying gfci outlet that kept tripping. They were great communicating & scheduling the appointment. Ronnie, located the issue within minutes & had it repaired very quickly.
I also had him look at adding another exterior outlet since I needed one in a different location. He actually said he had most of the materials already in his truck & could do it at that time!
I must say he did a great job installing the new exterior outlet in a nice all weather box. Top quality work at a fair price.
I have found myself a new electrician & will recommend him to all my friends & family.
Very professional company that actually cares about the work they do! That's very rare today!
Do not hesitate giving these guys a call!

Very happy with our service visit today. Joe and his partner were professional, courteous and patient with us. They quickly diagnosed our breaker box issue and fixed it promptly. We will definitely use these guys again in the future.

My house had a possible lighting strike . Bottom line two outlets stopped working . I searched yelp found Stephen and called him he was here in 12 minutes !! He checked everything thoroughly and fixed the problem and will be returning to do a few other things next week . He was polite , respectful and knowledgeable . His price was fair also . He seems very honest and knows his stuff . If you need help he's your man

Very professional and responds quickly! If I need any electrical work done I will always call him! He has done numerous electrical jobs for me and haven't had one issue!! Reasonable pricing too!!

Greg helped us changed the driveway and entryway light fixtures. We are quite happy with the before and after results.

Cannot say enough about the great service we received from Keith at Heart of the Hills Electric. Our initial inquiry call was returned promptly and Keith showed up to give us an estimate at the appointed time. His work quote was far better than others we received so we decided to have him do the work we required. He showed up with an assistant but we were only charged labor for one person. The job was done efficiently and in a professional manner. The billing invoice was for exactly the amount we were given in the estimate. We will recommend Heart of the Hills Electric to all our friends and neighbors.

Should have done the job correctly the initial time.  Rude, unprofessional and wondering where the guy is that many state is great.  Maybe if I was a male......I would have been treated better.

Chadwick showed up on time in very nasty weather to work on our doorbell.  The last electricians that didn't fix it, (referred from the home warranty company), said the transformer was bad.  Chadwick looked at it and we both looked all over for the transformer and could not find it.  I don't think the last guys did either and neither did Chadwick.  He showed me where the line was cut to the doorbell and how the copper was old and oxidized.  He installed a new transformer using existing wiring and made it work.  I was very happy to get that fixed and will hire him to set up the lights for the front of our house.

4/7/2014 Addendum:  Due to my previous 5-star rating and good experience with Elite Electric I was going to have Chadwick put in some landscape lighting at our house.  I made an appointment after the last visit (and the review above) and he didn't show up, didn't call.  That was January.  Then I rescheduled, took off work to meet him, time came, no electrician.  I texted him and then called him and he called me back and said I was on the schedule, but he had forgotten.  I asked if he could still make it out, and he said he would try.  He called me two hours later at 5:00 to say no he couldn't after all.  I was pretty unhappy and will be going with someone else for my lighting.  He is a nice guy and knows what he is doing when he does come out, but the last two experiences are going to have me going somewhere else.

They installed all my fans in my first house for a great price! They were very knowledgeable and informative and gave plenty of tips and energy saving ideas to help the cps bill! Be sure to give them a call for any electrical and remodeling needs!

JLS Electric is a company solely designed to rip off unsuspecting and unwitting customers.   I have given them over 3K of business and paid for the invoices only to have things fail within days of the work being done.   Calling back Lindsay who is supposedly the owner/operator is a lesson in futility.  

She will only answer if you are making an order and blatantly ignore any warranty requests.   I had them install an electrical setup for my RV and also some other work in some outbuildings.    Less than a month later, the switches they worked on have failed and the GFCI plug they installed for the RV setup never worked.   She sent someone out and he said it was working.    I am disabled so hard to check and have to rely on them to be honest and up-front.   He said if there was a problem to call them back - - and there was a problem.  Still didn't work and why wouldn't he fix it if it wasn't working and expect me to have them call back again.    Left numerous messages with Lindsey and sent Emails - all ignored.   They said it was my cords and not the plug - but when I plugged in something else without the cords to the plug - INOPERATIVE.   Keeps shutting itself off which is normally indicative of a bad GFCI outlet - - and it was that way since install!

If they will rip off a disabled Veteran they will rip off anyone and their warranty isn't worth the paper its' printed on.  I had to hire someone else to fix what they damaged or didn't finish - and I will send them the bill.  I doubt it will get paid as they are showing themselves to be uncaring, non-customer focused and non-responsive.
They simply don't seem to care - no matter what you say or do.  STAY AWAY FROM JLS ELECTRIC or you will get ripped off too!

I placed a query on HomeAdvisor for an electrician to take take care of some lighting I would need installed on the exterior of my home.  One of the companies that called me was Electrician For Hire.  John was the guy's name.  He called me at 8 on a Saturday evening and we talked about the project that I needed done.  10-15 minutes later, John said he would have a guy out to the house the latest they can on Friday at 4pm in order to take a look and come up with a quote.  He said they stop work at 4:30.  No problem.

Fast forward to Friday.  At 4:10pm no one had shown up so I called John to ask about his technician.  He said they weren't supposed to be there until 5pm tonight.  He said it was in his notes.  However, in the Saturday discussion he told me his guys don't work past 4:30 and he asked me if his guy could be at the house at 4.  I was good with 4 because I was leaving town at 5.  I let it go for the moment as he said he would get someone out to the house now.  His technician calls and says he'll be happy to come out tomorrow (Saturday) in order to look over the project and deliver a quote.  I explained to the technician that this was outside the terms of agreement from John.  I told the technician to disregard and that I would contact John to cancel.

I sent a text message to John stating that I was disenchanted with the fact that his technician didn't even know about it until moments earlier, which means I was forgotten about, anyway.  I let him know that I will be looking for a new and more reliable electrician to handle my project.  John's response:  You Go Girl.  When I called to accost him of the disrespect, he stated, Look, I am making light of the situation.  Don't be weird about it.

Can John do the work? I don't know.  He can talk the talk, though, and make you feel like he's got your project covered.  Myself, I do not give my business to those who lie, forget, change times, or flat out disrespect.

My suggestion to those needing an electrician in my area, find a more reputable one.  Leave the kids out of your home projects.
