Reviews
We recently relocated to Allen and purchased a home that is about 25 years old. While the home is amazing and in great shape, there were a few places whee we wanted to add some lighting, fans, and power drops.
I found ABR here on Yelp and submitted for a quote. It takes them a week or so to get over to complete the quote in our experience. They respond almost immediately, it is just arranging the quote that takes more time.
The quote was provided after a detailed walk through by one of their team. I was able to ask questions and was provided with specific solutions that would solve our needs as easily and cost effectively as possible.
After reviewing the quote, the pricing was extremely competitive in my opinion. Having had electrical work done in other locations before, I was actually surprised by how reasonable the quote was for all the work we requested.
It took about 3 weeks before we could get the install done. This is due to how busy they are and the availability of supplies. It seemed like a long time to wait, but when the time arrived, the work was completed in a timely fashion.
All of the jobs were done professionally over two days.
Upgraded interior lighting in kitchen and living room
Increased lighting in the garage.
Two power drops on the patio.
Installation of a ceiling fan on the patio.
Installation and mounting of a flat screen television on the patio.
All in all, it is not easy to find solid craftsmen you depend on to take care of your home. I am however very excited to have found and worked with the team at ABR.
I connected with ABR through Yelp after 1) reading reviews here and 2) seeing them recommended on an electric car site as a reliable EV installer.
I had them install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage, and my ChargePoint HomeFlex. The install window was 12-1, but I got a call asking if I was willing to do it earlier since a previous job finished early. That was excellent for me, and the entire experience was quick, professional and very high quality. I'd bring them out again for any work, and I definitely recommend them for an EV or PHEV charger install. They do a lot of them, both Teslas and non-Tesla chargers.

I needed a couple electrical upgrades to my home and after getting some quotes and doing research, I opted to go with ABR electric. I couldn't be more pleased with that decision.
For the quote, James provided a very thorough and honest write up of the work that would be done: a NEMA 14-50 installed for a future EV, a whole home surge protector, and a power inlet box so I can plug a generator into my home.
I appreciated that I was kept in the loop about everything. Communication is important to me. I also valued that the company took care of getting the permits and respected my property. For the inlet box, we opted to cut along the garage's drywall instead of running wire outside, but they took care to not make a mess or make it unsightly. They screwed the drywall pieces back on and I was able to fill the gaps with spackle and paint it so it looks like they were never there. I also really liked that their work didn't interrupt my day. They needed to move some of my switches in the breaker box, but it never disrupted my work since I work from home and having power to everything is super important.
Once everything was installed, James took the time to chat with us while waiting on the inspector to approve the installation. I can't thank him enough for walking us through how to use the generator and connect it to our home. I was deathly afraid I was going to blow my house up if I did something wrong, so I'm glad he was around to instruct us on what to do. It's little things like that that go a long way.
If I ever need additional electrical services, I'm giving ABR a call.
Top notch, from setting appointment, to prompt professional service, to follow-up. Recommended.
We had very good service from ABR, including coming to our house to provide a no charge quote, good communication regarding scheduling the job and arrival times of their team, installation of new Led lighting fixtures in our kitchen, and clean up after the job was completed. The final invoice was as quoted, and we are pleased with the work completed. They are accessible and good communicators. Would not hesitate to recommend them.
Prompt service...fixed our problem for a reasonable price. Will definitely use them again.

They installed a ceiling fan, replaced a few GFCI outlets, and installed media room lighting. They had to do some drilling into columns for the media room lighting. They did a great job and cleaned up after themselves. I'd use them again.
Outstanding service from this company! The owner and master electrician, James, came out to evaluate my situation and offer advice on several issues I had at my house. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He provided a fair estimate for the job I needed done - installing a 30 amp fuse in the breaker panel and running a line across the attic to my pool equipment including a breaker box, GFI, and a kill switch. His crew of 3 came out the following week and completed the job to my satisfaction. Great work and exactly as estimated. I will hire this company again for other jobs. Highly recommend!

Quick, relaible and professional - very nice service with fair price!
We ordered to install special plug for portable generator. After research and price estimation we decided to install it on the one of house's side. The manager was aware of all the details of using the generator and gave many recommendations and useful tips. The job required just couple hours including testing with generator. This is probably one of the best my experiences!
Thank you very much!
Always good working with ABR. We had them do 3 service calls to our house and they've been timely, reasonable, and transparent on various items.
Great job - they were very reasonable on price, suggested a high quality upgrade to our existing lighting and installed a ceiling fan very professionally and quickly.
Fast response, thorough , reasonable.
They helped me for electrical issue for my rental property in Dallas.
I would definitely recommend them.
Had three people who claimed to be knowledgeable about electrical & wiring look at my ceiling fan that had quit working & none of them diagnosed the real problem. I knew that whomever originally installed it was also knowledgeable but not smart as they had put it on a standard dimmer switch which isn't designed for fan speed control, but that wasn't the only problem. James said the wire was wrong as well and he had my fan working perfectly in less than an hour and at a reasonable cost as well. Even on small projects, it just pays to go with a pro, not to mention safety considerations when dealing with electrical. I am so glad I found them and will consult them first from now on.

Five stars. You were responsive throughout the process and very helpful. Thank you for helping us with the permit process as well. I would highly recommend your services.
I am a new home owner. The house we purchased had a lot of electrical mistakes from the previous owner who fancied themselves an electrician. ABR fixed these problems for me at such a reasonable price! James, the owner, is super knowledgeable and explained everything in a way I could understand. He even showed me how to change the outlets myself to help save money! The team that did the work was very punctual and professional. I am extremely grateful to ABR for offering such an affordable price and great advice. Thank you!

One of my project this year is to upgrade our Microwave/Oven combo which is installed in our kitchen walll cabinet. Since this is an upgrade the wall wiring will need to be upgraded together with the 30 amp circuit breaker bumped up to 40 amp. I found ABR Electric on Yelp and sent in my request quote and got my answer the next day, Nastia sent an email and scheduled Nathan to come over to inspect if the wiring will really need to be change which it did. Nathan & Nastia respond quickly and they're both nice and professional to answer all my questions. William & Bill the installerwe're both nice, fast and professional and they sure did an awesome job.
I will recommend ABR Electric to my friends and family and will surely hire them again with my next project.
Thanks ABR Team!

ABR did a great job with the electrical repairs we needed as we were selling our home. They were communicative, prompt and thorough, explaining everything they were doing in order to make the repairs. I would definitely call them again and recommend them!
The assigned electrician was Jason. Good guy. Explained multiple option of how to get the job done, and made it happen. Had to cut into my wall, but the cuts were clean and easy to fix. Wendii the office Mgr is awesome too. Highly recommended!

After living outside of McKinney proper for seven years, we are still distressed to find how difficult it is to find reliable service people. ABR Electric is outstanding. The electrician texted to let us know that he was on his way and showed up right on time. The job required about 6 1/2 hours, and he worked steadily, stopping only for a short lunch break and to pick up a part. He was friendly, knowledgeable and cleaned up after himself. We are happy to know who to call when we need an electrician in the future.
Very professional service and felt very confident with quotes for a number of projects.

Great experience from the free quote all the way through project completion. The pricing was accurate and reasonable. Highly recommend!
Their support is great and rapid!! That helps for me. Nathan and Jason are very nice guys. If there are something wrong about Electric in my house, I'll ask them again!
I had different electrician out to my house around 3 months ago and was told that a wire inside the walls was the problem. They would have to use a camera to find the wire and could possibly have to tear some dry wall out to fix the problem. They said they would call back to schedule a time to find the wire. Thank goodness they didn't call back!
James had the problem diagnosed and fixed within 30 minutes!
I have to admit as soon as James walked in the door I knew the caliber of individual he was from the hat he wears. Thank you for your service to our Country James.
One grunt to another.
I needed some light commercial electrical work done (mostly luminaire and ballast replacements). James has been helpful and responsive with my questions regarding fixture options, Nathan has been flexible with our scheduling, billing, and invoicing, and the electricians such as Andy have been doing a great job.

Couldn't have been easier. Thanks ABR!

These guys are awesome. I requested a quote to put up a Tesla wall connector. I asked for a quote late Wednesday afternoon. My wall connector was installed less than 48 hours later. They provided me with a quote and an online site to accept the quote. I was invoiced and was able to pay w/ the push of a button. Just a very professional outfit. It's nice when you leave the work to someone else and they just know what to do and they do it right. That's no so common any more. Would recommend ABR to anyone!
We had a lighting issue with our ceiling fan. After leaving a phone message, ABR Electric called us back. In describing the problem, ABR informed us what to do over the phone and stated that we should call back if it didn't work. It did work and we therefore did not need an electrician. This did not cost us one penny and we appreciate ABR's honesty. If we do have an electrical issue in the future, ABR Electric will be the only one we call.

Jason showed up on time and got right to work on replacing multiple light fixtures and wiring/installing a sconce. He was very personable and professional. He took the time to explain everything he was doing and to answer all our questions. We were very pleased with his work and the price was exactly what we expected. We highly recommend ABR and will request Jason for any future electrical work.
ABR has excellent customer service from quote to completion of work!
We recently moved into a home and wanted a ceiling fan installed where a light fixture was currently. We had a handyman come out to install the ceiling fan, however, the previous home owner did some electrical work himself to the light switch and the handyman couldn't get the ceiling fan to work. I called ABR Electric and Tyler came out and was very professional and courteous. Our ceiling fan is now working. I was impressed how tidy Tyler was, he brought his own dustpan and broom to clean up after himself. Highly Recommended if you need an electrician!

Great contractor to deal with for probably all your electric needs!
My project was fairly easy, just to set up 9 recessed lights in two areas, one with attic access and one without, ceiling is not like cathedral height. I called our 3 contractors and they were the fastest and most reasonable price (30% less and 400% less than other contractors I checked quote). They have standard rate for this kind of task unlike others who needed to come and do an estimation.
The electrician came on time as agreed and do the work with good ethic. The project was completed nicely and up to my expectation.
My suggestion to them is that better call prior to the appointment day to double check the confirmation, I had to call them to make sure in this case and make sure to always turn off the circuit breaker before carrying out the work for piece of mind.

Couldn't be happier. James and team did four recessed lights, two outlets for our TV's and removed the light kit from our ceiling fan.
Team was professional, honest and up-front. Called 30 mins before both the estimate and job appointments.
Best part? His price was half of other estimates!

Recently bought a home in McKinney and it had two light fixtures removed at some point in the dining room and on the back patio with just metal covers over them. I asked for a quote from ABR and got a very reasonable quote within 20 minutes. They scheduled the visit for about 4 days later and Tyler arrived 15-20 minutes early. He was polite, cheerful, professional and did a fantastic job! He was careful with our furniture and cleaned up after himself. Since my wife was not available for her okay on the height of the dinner room chandelier he even explained how to add links to the chain in case I needed to.
I am very pleased.
Good luck getting them on the phone. I tried twice, three hours apart, to schedule an appointment--not a quote, an actual appointment--for service and all you get is voicemail. You know what happens next? The potential customer and his money go somewhere else.

After researching Tesla charger installers, I went with ABR. James was prompt in coming to give me an estimate. Andy and Jason text me ahead of time that they were on their way. They were very professiona, efficient and clean. They made sure the charger worked properly before they left. I also had them install power to some motorized shades. Being that it was one of the hottest days of the summer and they had to go into the attic, they still remained professional. I would not hesitate to use ABR again in the future.
Truly exceptional work! We are totally loyal. This is the second job ABR Electric Team has completed for us and we are so very pleased. James Sr, James Jr., and David knocked it out the park. It's so nice to meet genuine and talented individuals that listens to your needs and execute perfectly! Thank you again for a job well done guys. See you soon for our next project. We know that Nastia's response on scheduling is the best and always takes good care of us.

Got a 220V wall outlet for Tesla charging from these guys and they were awesome. We had to pull wires from the panel in one garage into the other where I would park the car. James and Terry were very thorough and did a great job. I found them on the Tesla recommended list of electricians in our area.
Best of all, their prices were the most reasonable, almost a third of what the others quoted for a similar job. They took care of all the city permits as well.
I would hire them again for any other electrical needs at my house.
James Adams and his crew are seriously the best. My husband and I are first time homeowners that bought a horror house (so many expensive problems, you have no idea), so we have been around many experts trying to help us get this house decent. James is by far our favorite and the biggest help. Extremely knowledgeable, honest, willing to swim up in our disgusting attic to get to the weirdest placed wires, has helped our understanding of basic electrical stuff, and helped us come up with a solid game plan on how to tackle all the electrical work in financially-friendly stages, starting with the biggest fire hazards first. Our house's electrical has been no walk in the park and downright scary at times, and James and his crew always complete the jobs and then some. We always feel a lot more hope and relief with this horror house being less horrific after James helps us out. Highly highly recommend.
We worked with ABR on a recent job for install a Tesla home charger. They were great to work with and professional in every way. They went above and beyond to do the job. They delivered quality work and we are very happy with the results. We really wanted to work with an installer that was certified and knowledgeable with our specific unit. We would hire ABR again and are grateful we were able to have our job completed with them.

Excellent service & honest practices! They helped us navigate through the arduous process of replacing our entire electrical panel & our GFCI outlet. I plan to use them in the future for sure!
The crew arrived on time. Jason and Tyler were friendly and patient. Fast and neat job was done. Definitely great service!
It was a good experience with ABR electric!
Had a number of lights replaced and some installed in the front yard and a few in the back area. James, the owner, came over to discuss what we needed and where to install lights and he suggested best options for us. He's professional and nice guy.
Received an estimate via email ( ) with detailed job
description.
Jason, their field electrician, is the best! He had to do two trips to complete all the works by himself and he really knew what he was doing. He's patient and thorough.
Received our invoices via email after job completion with the original charges that you have agreed on,
no surprises, if they have to add some, would definitely let you know before proceeding with the job. Thanks, ABR!

Helpful employees, got the job done.
I requested a quote from ABR electric, and quickly got a response from them to clarify the requested work. They also advised me to acquire some replacement parts they would not be responsible for having on-hand, which I appreciate the warning about to save me time / an additional service fee in the future.
On the day of the job itself, there appeared to be some miscommunication that had occurred because the service tech didn't have all the parts on hand and had to return later that day after acquiring them. After the work was completed, there was also a minor annoyance of some leftover parts / detritus that I needed to dispose of.
Importantly though, the work I needed done got done quick at a good price, so I'll definitely look to them again if I need future work done.
My project was originally to install a Tesla Wall Charger. After consulting with Jason, he I should get a NEMA 14-50 installed and purchase a second Tesla mobile charger. This was a much cheaper option with close to the same charge performance of a wall charger. When the electrician arrived, he stated I did not have enough open fuse slots to complete the NEMA 14-50 install. Then their master electrician provided an alternate solution which did not require a secondary fuse box and completed the install of the NEMA 14-50 plug. On top of that, they installed a wire hook to wrap my mobile charger cord on! What could have been a disappointing project costing me thousands turned out to be the best contractor experience ever! Would highly recommend them!
We purchased some light fixtures for our new house at Passion Lighting. We asked our salesperson for electrician recommendations and she highly recommended ABR Electric. I left a message and received a prompt return call from Nathan. Since we just bought the house, we had a long list of little items to address, along with some some lighting concerns. Nathan took the time to talk to me over the phone and by email to come up with an installation plan. We had Andy and David come out on two separate days to complete all the work and they are great guys - very nice, polite and hard working. Our house looks amazing with new LED recessed lights and new light fixtures. I highly recommend them!
Called me within 30 minutes of his receiving our work order. Unfortunately, we were not in his service area.

James and his crew are the best! They are well priced and do dang good work. They are quick, efficient and have great communication. My experience with them was more than solid. James showed up and quotes me a fair price and decided to use them. I set an appointment and he showed up on time and called when 30 min out of arrival. He had everything he needed in hand and took care of the work. He was very detail oriented and explained everything he was going to do. I will use these guys again with our a doubt. Highly recommend!
I wanted a couple of outlets added in my bedrooms, as well as dimmer switches for the overhead lights. I requested quotes from a few companies via Yelp, and ABR was both the lowest priced and the best in terms of communication. Scheduling my project was very easy. On the day of, David and Andy showed up early and got the job done much quicker than I had expected. Everything works and looks great. I'm so happy with how it turned out and know who to call if I need any other electrical work done.
After having excellent service in 2 previous jobs with ABR, my expectations for a 3rd one (today) were understandably high. Unfortunately, this was not the case. After arriving 30 minutes after the scheduled time, Tyler headed up to our attic to survey the work. As someone who wants to learn, I followed, and was disturbed at the carelessness I saw as Tyler moved around our attic. Hanging on ducting, yanking on the electrical cable, and a complete disregard for any strategic blown-in insulation, I was uncomfortable with him being up there. (not to mention his comments regarding how the access 'sucked' and overall lack of enthusiasm)
After coming back down he informed me that the job was going to cost 60% more than what was quoted and was going to take 2+ hours to complete.
I declined continuing the job and wished him a good day.
After excellent service previously, I can't say that I am happy with my experience today and won't be able to recommend them to any friends or coworkers. I hope others continue to have a better experience than what I did today and will be on the hunt for a new go-to electrician.

No hesitation recommending ABR Electric. From start to finish, they were great.
I needed to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet in my garage for charging an EV. I reached out via e-mail and got a prompt reply with various questions about my house and requests for pictures of the breaker box so that they could run the calculations to see if the a new breaker could be added. They then provided me with a quote for the project. I still had some questions so I called them and the person I talked to on the phone was great in patiently answering all my questions. The install team texted me saying they were running late, but they still arrived in the middle of the arrival window. They surveyed the garage and attic and gave me multiple options and their opinions for where to put the outlet and how to run the wires. They were extremely friendly and funny while remaining pretty professional. A few hours later, I had my EV charging from the outlet.
ABR did a great job with the install and at a reasonable rate.
Needed an outlet and breaker installed for a kiln. They were able to come out on a Monday and by Tuesday evening I had a working pottery studio.
That in itself would be a 4-5 star rating, the team that did it was efficient, clean, pleasure to do business with.
ABR was a pleasure to do business with. They were highly communicative during the entire process. They responded with answers to questions, quick to turn around quotes and most importantly were ON TIME to the appointment I scheduled. They did a fantastic job installing my Tesla charging station. It was a quick install and they cleaned up all their trash and ensured everything was in working order before leaving. THANK YOU!
I have the highest praise for ABR Electric, James Adams Sr. (Owner), and the crew sent to my house to perform two full days' worth of interior lighting work. I first contacted Jim due to the customer satisfaction I noted from numerous Internet sites. He and his company's excellent reputation is well deserved. From the moment I met Jim until the job was complete, I was dealt with honestly, professionally, and pleasantly. Andy and David, who performed the work were exceptional in every regard. I confidently recommend this company and if a future need arises will use them again.

Needed some outside flood security liights and string lights installed on our pergola. James provided a competitive quote and he and David performed the work in an afternoon. Fantastic job and we couldn't be happier with how the lights came out. Even added a remote dimmer to our wall!!! Will defn use ABR again for future work. Even Two follow up phone calls to see how we liked it. Very nice people.
ABR is a treasure! Thanks to Nathan's scheduling, they came to our rescue on July 3 at 3 p.m., then came back to do more work today. We couldn't be more pleased with the work or the professionalism. My workshop and exercise building had a freestanding AC until that wasn't working. James found a major problem with the wiring and got it repaired and running. He made major upgrades in the overhead lighting in the shop and replaced two wall switches. In our house we had him install dimmers on a couple of banks of lights that were just too bright with the new energy-efficient lighting. Very friendly. His card is taped up alongside the several others we save for critical needs. Couldn't recommend any company any more highly.
We've used ABR several times over the past several years, and every single time they are prompt, reasonably priced and provide amazing quality and customer service. They did a beautiful job installing recessed can lighting in our family room and living room (with particular attention to getting the spacing and placement absolutely perfect!). We've used them for other repairs around the house, including replacing dimmers and outlets that weren't working, fixing an issue that was causing problems with our pool equipment, and other minor repairs. They've come out on short notice to help when needed, and are always friendly, helpful and terrific to work with. I highly recommend ABR!
Needed a new outlet installed and these guys did an incredible job. The job was very reasonably priced, they were on time and efficient. Roman and Tyler did a great job and I would definitely recommend and use again.
I have used ABR electric twice now and each time the guys did a great job!
I looked on yelp before considering ABR and I'm happy to say that the other reviews r true!
1) One of the reasons I picked ABR is because they would reply messages VERY fast (within the hour) through yelp, EVEN on weekends! I guess most working people only have the weekends to search for household services (electrician/maid/repair), myself included, but most of these places are open only during weekdays, forcing customer to leave voicemails and wait for call backs on Monday. But I didn't need to wait on ABR because Jason always responds fassssst (to my surprise because other places normally don't respond outside of working hours), even tho ABR'a hour says it's closed on the weekend. I guess this is an example of going above and beyond one's job description. A big plus for the company!
2) Price: I asked for multiple quotes from different companies and ABR's was more than reasonable. Another company I contacted tried to get me signed up for some absurd membership in order to give me an discount, yucks!... ABR was straight forward with no gimmicks! +1 for ABR!
3) Service: both times the guys would call before coming and show up on time. They were courteous and explained to me what they were going to do. I have done the typical electrical work such as chandelier installation, fan installation, recessed lighting, under cabinet lighting, etc. Another +1!
I would recommend ABR to other people!

I hired ABR Electric to install a 50 amps outlet for my Tesla charger. James is the one who did the install. he was very professional and well spoken. He did not just install the outlet but he threw in a hook for the charger free of charge.
James showed up an hour before the City of Dallas came to inspect the install. within that time he volunteered to check my door bell and fix it (free of charge). He also installed the tesla cable organizer that I just purchased again free of charge. ABR Electric definitely won me as a customer for life.
Much better price compared to other electric companies that I had got quotes from. Kept us informed about any delay due to bad weather.

I first contacted ABR becuase Tesla listed it as a preferred contractor and becuase it had good reviews. Jason did a load estimate, told me I didn't need to modify my electrical panel, and told me to be aware of other contractors saying otherwise. I hired ABR becuase Jason was patient and helpful answering my questions.
The guys showed up on time (even a little early), were friendly, seemed to be very knowledgeable, and seemed to have done a good job. They neatly installed a NEMA outlet for my car and left no mess.
Thanks, ABR!
I called ABR after reading other reviews. I had fluorescent light ballasts to be replaced, LED night lights to be installed (they replace existing outlet plates and connect electrically), a ceiling light can that wasn't hot, and a ceiling fan that needed a new speed control module installed.
Tyler and a co-worker arrived exactly on time and handled everything professionally and without issue. They went above and beyond trouble-shooting my ceiling fan that wasn't properly wired for the wall switches and remote usage, tightening the fan blades, and checking the lights and sockets. The price was very reasonable for the work performed.
We have used ABR twice now and highly recommend their service. They are fair, prompt and easy to do business with. We will continue to use them for any other electric needs that come up.
Had an potential electric grounding issue I needed checked, based on the reviews called ABR and so glad I did! James was quick to call back and discuss the issue, and was able to get out the next day to take a look. He thoroughly traced the grounding line even through the attic (on a 100+ degree Texas day) to ensure everything was connected correctly, taking time to explain to me exactly what he was looking for and how the entire grounding system functions. As long as he was here I had him add an outlet in my garage- no problem. Great guy and very knowledgeable, will definitely call him first for future projects.

I found ABR on Google and after reading such great reviews, gave them a call. I wasn't sure if my job was too small for them, but it wasn't. Nathan called me back the next morning (I called late in the day the previous day) and gave me a quote over the phone. He was very polite and professional. He was able to send Jason out within minutes. Jason was also very polite and professional. He didn't hesitate to take on my small job of taking down a ceiling fan and installing a chandelier. I also asked if he would take a peek at my breaker panel to see if it is safe and he didn't hesitate to do so, and on top of that, noticed a spot in the brick by my breaker box that needed silicone and said he would fill in the crack for me. The chandelier looks so nice and Jason went above and beyond for me. I will not only be using ABR again in the future, I will most definitely recommend them to my friends. Thank you for such wonderful service!
Installed a whole house surge protector for me. Came when they said. Did a good job. Chris even noticed where the A/C breaker had a loose connection and fixed it.
Will recommend to anyone needing electrical work.
Great company with good guys. Will work with you to get the job done right. Have them doing work on a property and despite some unexpected things that came up when they started opening walls increasing the time they worked, the bill didn't change and they stuck with quoted bill. Would recommend them to anyone looking for an HONEST electrician.

James gave us a quote. Spent a good amount of time to ensure I understood the process and gave some extremely helpful suggestions for our projects (install LED can light, wire and install ceiling fan and move light switch)
Will and another guy came to do the work. They were very conscientious about doing everything the way we wanted. They put up with our pesty dogs even!
Pricing was much more reasonable than other bids I had from LICENSED electricians. The best thing ABR has going for them is their outstanding communication. From the bid process though the installation process they never hesitated to pick up the phone and call or text if they had a question or update.
We will be calling them soon to do our next project. Highly recommend!

Having moved into a new build (but production builder) home in McKinney about a year ago, we have used ABR Electric extensively for several different projects to add additional electrically-related capabilities to our home. These projects have included adding household convenience outlets, ceiling fans, exterior lighting, an electric car charger, whole house surge protection and connecting a standby power generator with a manual switch arrangement to changing out too-dim overhead shower lights ... well, you get the point -- a lot of different projects, several of which required high-voltage entrance panel updates and modifications. James and his team members are all friendly and easy to work with, do their job professionally and charge reasonable prices. Highly recommended.
Recruited ABR to submit a bid on a scope of work for a home i recently purchased in order to bring the electrical system up to code. Their office staff coordinated the initial inspection so that James and a member of his team could look at what I knew needed to be repaired (from the initial home inspectors notes during purchase process) and to also look at other items that the home inspector missed as well as some custom requests I wanted completed.
I can't express how impressed/thankful I was with ABR's thoroughness on the initial inspection and timeliness of getting me the info i needed to make an educated decision. Realizing that ABR educated me on several things that other vendors never mentioned, I chose to go with ABR. Their cost estimate was not the lowest I received (but it was within 5% of all others i received) however it was in line with other estimates, however their detailed scope made me confident that everything I wanted/needed would be handled and that was most important to me; you cannot put a price on peace of mind in my opinion. Previous bids detailed only the major things that the home inspector listed, while the ABR scope detailed things as small as the color of the receptacle covers which you don't really think about when starting this process.
His team replaced my panel, installed a whole-home surge protector/hard wired CO2 and smoke & fire alarms/ several GFI outlets in required areas/ hard wired garage light fixture/ several custom outdoor power outlets/ 2 8ft. copper ground rod/ and they also rewired my power supply line for the automatic gate (which involved burying 40 ft of line in PVC about 8 inches in the ground). His team was extremely aware of the aesthetic impact for all items completed and involved me in every decision that related to how I wanted it to look. All of this was completed in two business days by only two electricians - very impressive if you ask me.
Once they were done, they assisted in scheduling the city inspector to come by and for the electric company to come back out to reseal my meter and remove the proverbial red tag.
ABR is easily the best contractor I have worked with since I have been in my home and I will definitely be calling upon ABR again when I have any need related to my home's electrical system. In my opinion, ABR is a well-oiled machine from top to bottom and when it comes to protecting an investment such as a home, as a consumer you really can't ask for anything better. Thanks again ABR!
ABR installed a 240V outlet and electric car charger in my garage. They did a great job.
Great experience with ABR electric. Complete professionalism, appointment timely and fair pricing. It is a wonderful feeling to not have to worry about who I am going to call when I have a lighting project.
If you're looking for a licensed electrical team who are professional, organized, friendly, respectful of your property, on time (always), communicates clearly, and fair priced (while not trying sell services or items you don't need), then ABR Electric is the company for you. They have performed electrical services on 4 separate occasions at our home during the past 2 years, that ranged from a call to increase the amps on some breakers in our main garage junction box to completely reconfiguring the electrical supply to our kitchen as part of a recent remodel & while doing that also installing a new induction cooking center. All jobs have far exceeded expectations.

I used them this morning and would not hesitate to use them again. James ( the electrician) was knowledgable, polite and quickly fixed all my problems. He didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need and all my issues were resolved in the minimum service charge fee (which was very reasonable).
All good and will definitely use them for anything I need in the future.

Very negative experience. DO NOT RECOMMEND. I was referred to ABR Electric from a car dealership. I scheduled an appointment to get an estimate on a $1000+ job over a week in advance. I was very specific about my time requirements. After 15 minutes late, I called and they said they'd be close to 30 minutes late. I was unhappy, but they assured me they would have electrician arrive as early as possible ... so I cancelled my next meeting and stayed home. Over 1 hour 15 minutes later, no electrician, no call. I called again -- Jason was surprised that the electrician Nathan hadn't arrived yet, and had no explanation. Finally 1 hour 45 minutes after initial appointment time, Nathan finally arrives at my house and rings the doorbell. Of course, I was then long gone. The experience wasted my morning and my attitude. Too bad. Too many companies out there who value the importance of punctuality and first impressions to give them another chance. I will also let the dealership know they shouldn't be giving ABR as a reference. Poor reflection on them.

Two thumbs up from me. They arrived in the agreed time frame and gave me the incredibly good news that all my problems were on the power company's side, not my outside box, not my responsibility. No charge, just good advice from a good honest company.
My husband and I have worked with many different vendors in renovating a home we purchased but none have come close to the wonderful experience we had with James and Nathan at ABR!!! Besides being extremely professional, prompt and knowledgeable they were also a true joy to work with!!! We looked forward to seeing them every time they came to work!!! We made a great deal of added changes but they just smiled and laughed with us through it all!!! They even gave me perfect advice on where to center to sconces in my formal dining room which turned out beautifully!!! The entire crew at ABR are kind and caring!!! Their goal is simply for you to be very happy with the work that they do!!! My husband and I couldn't be happier with the work that they did for us!!!

James came to our apartment in Allen and installed an electrical outlet in the bathroom. This new outlet was used to hook up my Washlet which requires an electrical outlet so it can heat the water and toilet seat. Jame plugged in the washlet to the new outlet and then installed the remote electric box that controls the washlet. Everything works great now and I could not be more happy. Thanks again James and ABR Electric. I could not be more pleased with the price and the service.

We just bought a home and had a warranty but the company they used wasn't helpful. We called ABR Electric and the electrician diagnosed everything that the previous owner had done incorrectly. He even added an additional outlet for my workbench in the garage and for less money than I expected to pay to have the other problems fixed according to the first electrician that came out. He also gave me some great advice on where to shop for LED lights in the city. I'll be calling them again in the near future! I highly recommend them for anyone with electrical needs.
These guys are amazing. I wanted little lights in my 3rd story dormer windows in the attic spaces and garage and they crawled up there and installed my little lights! They totally stepped up to the challenge on everything I wanted. They not only work fast and are master electricians but they are the nicest people. Highly recommend them.
I needed a switched outlet split so half was constant. ABR quoted me a better price than the other places I called. He showed up on time, was done quickly and very professional. And because the job was easier than expected the price was actually $25 less than the quote.
Thank you ABR

James and his team are wonderful to work with. Extremely professional and also personal at the same time. ABR helped us with some indoor projects and wired out new outdoor patio. They did and amazing job and everything was done perfectly. I highly recommend this company.

ABR Electric is a great company! Their staff is knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. I had to reschedule on them three different times and they were more than happy to work with me. It took me two failed experiences with other electricians to find these guys. Go to them first! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone needing an electrician.
Had a great experience with ABR Electric...the owner came by the same day I called for an estimate on wiring for a new stove...quoted a fair price and his team came by 2 days later and completed the job...great follow up and customer service after the work was done as well! Will definitely be calling again if needed.
I called and spoke to Nathan due to an electrical problem I was having. He was very helpful and listened to my problem with extreme patience. I previously had an electrician from a different company come out, not only did he not fix the problem he created more problems! Jason came out and was extremely efficient in fixing the issue and correcting the work done by the previous electrician. I would highly recommend ABR to anyone that needs an honest and knowledgeable company to work with. Thank you Jason for all your help!
