Eden and DJ did an awesome job after the ice storm of February 2023. They were here when they said they would be here. We had to have our meter mounted back to our house after it was pulled off by a branch on the power line. They worked quick and diligently to get done while the power company (PEC) was here to get my power back up after 6 days and 9 hours. They are great - I told them that going forward they are my guys when I need electrical work.

This business is absolutely one of the most genuine and pleasant ones I've hired. They hung two outdoor fans and replace three outdoor wall lamps in front with some I had ordered online . It's veteran run and the prices are extremely competitive. They do great work but most importantly they show up on time and don't make excuses like other companies I've worked with . I recommend them to all the people asking for an electrician on Nextdoor app in my neighborhood because I know they won't make me look bad and will deliver what they promise . Give them a call for any electrical needs .

Ace/Carl grossly overcharged my job for materials and labor. Not sure why and is disappointing given their previous decent reviews.
2 stars for showing up and completing the work. Minus 3 stars for gouging.

Nothing gets your attention like the words fire hazard but thats exactly what brought us to searching for a master electrician. We recently had our siding replaced and the electrical box hasn't been re-attached to our house AND our AC unit had tripped the breaker and burnt out.

We received Carl's # from a family friend of 30 yrs & within the hour he was at our home. Not only was he able to address the issue and assure us that all was well after a few changes, he corrected the issue the AC company caused and prevented even further problems by teaching the tech we needed different amperage. Talk about being the right person with the right tools to get TWO jobs done. We certainly won't be using anyone else moving forward!

The guys did an AMAZING job!! We had a lot of work done including running wire an adding switches, new light fixtures and an electric fireplace to a bathroom we enlarged, adding a light fixture and wiring for a wine fridge in the kitchen, installing a ceiling fan in our living room which has a 24ft ceiling. They were always patient, kept the work area very clean and just a pleasure to have around! They are also very reasonably priced and came up with some creative ways to help us solve problems. We will only use Ace!

Great experience working with Ace Electric today! Messaged the business using Yelp and received a quick response. They arrived and installed my Ring doorbell quickly and at a good rate. Would highly recommend!

Just had the guys come out to install 3 light fixtures yesterday. They are very reasonable compared to others. Others wanted to charge at least $100-$150 per hour and said the estimated time to install each pendant light was 30 to 40 minutes. Yikes! That's around $300, but ACE charged me $50 per light fixtures since they did not have to relocate wires. They've been in business for 40 years. Very surprised that the do not have many yelp reviews. Definitely call them. I will post before and after picture of the light fixtures. I'm having them come out again to install my light fixture in the powder room once it arrives and put in dimmers which is only $12 per dimmer once I get it at home depot.
Thank you guys!

The ace team did a fantastic job installing two pendants over our kitchen island. They showed up on time and got the job done much quicker than I was expecting. The team at ace are true professionals who know their craft well. Highly recommend and will be calling them again for any electric work.

My boyfriend and I refer to Carl and his team as wizards. Their knowledge and service was.top notch and they went above and beyond to help fix our issue when our home warranty company sent out a hack. Thank you again, Carl!

We just had Carl's team come out to our house to install two bathroom exhaust fans. They were incredibly helpful, on time and pleasant to work with. They were able to squeeze in an additional ask from us as well as answered all of my questions. I cannot recommend this company enough and love knowing a good electrician to refer my friends and family to and use again in the future!

Ace Electric is very professional and does quality work at a reasonable price with exceptional customer service! We recently had them do several electrical projects including where they remounted and replaced outlets in our kitchen as part of a remodel. With COVID-19, we were delayed in getting our backsplash completed for a month after Ace Electric did the initial electrical work and as we needed the outlet covers custom cut...Ace Electric recommended allowing the backsplash installation to complete so it would be just right. A month later...they actually came back out with no trip charge just to custom cut and fit the outlet covers....very impressed!

Carl and his crew installed 12 can lights for me, a fan, and two outdoor fixtures. They were professional, efficient and provided great customer service. I love working with Carl because I know he will give me a quote up front - none of this hourly business where you don't know what the price will be. He's old school, he's good, and he's the only guy I'll call if I need an electrician.

We've worked with Carl and his team for 8 years at numerous residential rehab properties, and they consistently provide excellent service at a fair price. From complex wiring architecture to simple fixture installations, Ace completes the work accurately. Carl is a Master Electrician for many decades, and his integrity is unparalleled.

Adam B.

Called with an issue hanging a light fixture with an old electrical box. He said he could come out but to tell him what was going on and maybe he could walk me thru the problem. Text him a pic and he figured out a easy solution over the phone. Can't beat that type of service!

I was referred to Carl by my real estate agent.

After being in my house a couple weeks, I decided to give him a call about putting up a couple electrical outlets on the wall for a TV that was to be mounted there the following week. After talking with him on the phone, we set something up for later in the week.

I was not at home when his son arrived, but my wife talked with him and told him where we wanted the outlets. She said he was friendly and from what I saw after I got home, did a great job. The TVs are on the wall and the outlets worked perfectly and the job looks clean.

The real reason I wanted to leave a five star review is because the way Carl handles problems. There was some miscommunication in the initial phone call with Carl. The way Carl handled it and acted like a professional was the reason why I'll be referring him to anyone I know that needs an electrician.

Carl and his son run a top notch operation!

Carl does a great job and takes his time to do it. Had him replace an outdoor breaker for a furnace and give some pointers on a few upcoming projects. He is courteous, returns calls, and communicates well.

Ace is honest and knowledgeable. The lights and outlets in my bathroom stopped working. I checked the breaker and even replaced the GFCI outlet thinking that went bad but still no luck. I called Ace Electric to schedule an electrician. The person that answered the phone suggested that given the age of the home, I check all the other GFCI outlets near the bathroom - other bathrooms, garage, etc. Found out it was the upstairs bathroom GFCI outlet that had tripped. I reset it and it worked like a charm! I appreciate Ace's willingness to help out and more importantly, their honesty in not taking advantage of the issue. I'll definitely go back to them for a few other projects I have.

Robin G.

Ace Electric is absolutely the best electrical service we've used in years. We had an immediate need for work in a house we recently purchased, placed a call in the morning and the the guys were there in two hours. This while I'd been told most electrical services were booked two or three weeks out. These guys go into our speed dial!

Carl was able to squeeze me into his busy day. I was in a pinch trying to get a fixture working so I could photograph my place. He got it working very fast and was super patient with the photographer. When I mentioned that I needed to replace the smoke detector he happened to have one in his truck and installed it for me. This really is as good as it gets for residential electrical!!! Thank you Carl

The professional and prompt service I received from Ace Electric went above and beyond my expectations. This was the only company that was able to get out as soon as I was needing service, and he fixed the issue quickly and did not charge an arm and a leg.

They are reliable and friendly. I appreciate their attention to detail and expedited delivery/installation and repair of our electrical needs.

Not only were Ace Electric the best electricians we've dealt with in 30 years in Austin, but they might also be the best service contractor, period (Austin's Wildlife Removal is tough competition in this regard, however). I just needed to replace two fluorescent fixtures with two LED fixtures, but one electrician who's done good work for us in the past quoted me a cost of over $500 to do the work. Needless to say, Ace was significantly cheaper.

But price was really the least impressive aspect of this job. They arrived exactly on time on a Friday afternoon - when does that ever happen with contractors in the middle of the day? - and they were done in less than one hour. We almost don't want to recommend these guys, they are so good - we feel like keeping them all to ourselves. So... you're welcome! You won't be disappointed.

I called Ace Electric on a cold Monday morning after being informed by a HVAC repair man that I needed to replace the breaker for my furnace.

Even though Carl had other appointments, he was able to come by after lunch and replace the breaker. I had called another electrician before Ace Electric and they said they could fit me in in February (a month away)!

Carl explained what he was doing, which I appreciated, and did a good job.

I'm a local plumber and have known Carl and his son DJ for a few years now. Every time I've ever needed an electrician I call these guys, they do it all. They are very responsive, reliable, incredibly honest and fair, they always do a good job. Most recently we were remodeling a bathroom for a customer when we accidentally cut a wire in half which caused us to loose power to the bathroom. Dj came out with his 2 apprentices Eden and Trinni, they were awesome, problem fixed promptly and professionally. This is the only company I plan on using for all the times I need a professional electrician and I will always refer these guys to my friends, family and customers because I have no doubt they will do a great job and take care of the customer. Thanks again Carl !

Krissy M.

Carl and his crew did the entire wiring for a major remodel. They did a great job. They were reliable and didn't disappear like some subcontractors do on construction projects. They did great work and know what they are doing. They also do smaller jobs.

Lightning struck our house last night and although we didn't have a lot of damage, we wanted to make sure that all of our circuits, plugs, and breakers were working properly. I called several places many didn't answer but I didn't want to leave a message so when Ace actually answered the phone, I was thrilled. They came out within an hour and did diagnostics and told us what needed to be fixed and what was OK. I really appreciated their quick service and honest suggestions.

Carl was recommended to us by our realtor. He was quick to respond and easy to schedule an appointment with. His rates are super reasonable and his turn around time on the job was so quick! Carl was so great that I have hired him again to do some other electrical work we need. He is my go-to for electrical work now!

Carl at Ace Electric is the one to call if you have electrical issues! Not only did he make it out the day i called but he is an expert electrician and very reasonable in price.

Jeff N.

Carl is terrific! He is a true professional, knowledgable and customer focused. We called Carl for an estimate on some electrical work. He showed up, provided an estimate and then delivered on his work. Carl's work ethic is refreshing and reliable!

I can't say enough good things about Carl and Ace Electric. This man knows his stuff! While making dinner a couple of weeks ago I overloaded a circuit in our kitchen (old house, built in 1951), and could not fix the problem by resetting the breakers; we tried every single one.

Carl, who is a master electrician, came over and very thoroughly searched for the problem, located it, and fixed it all for an extremely reasonable price in under an hour. He even installed an outlet in my spare bathroom, where there previously was none, while he was here! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician.

Amy L.

9/27/2016

Wow. The friendly electrician (so sorry...forgot his name) showed up on time and was able to fix a poorly installed set of outdoor lights quickly. Then while he was fixing things...I discovered a creepy opossum in my backyard eating my dog's food and he pulled out a broom and prepared to shoo him away for me. Double wow.

Affordable, quality work, fast, quick to schedule. Thanks Ace Electric!

These guys are the ones you need to call for electrical repairs/additions/replacements in your home. So far (and I say that because we will have them back), they have added cans, fluorescents, outlets, switches and under cabinet lighting to our 3 year old house. DJ and Eden are professional, friendly and speedy. They give you a time of arrival, and their price is reasonable. No longer do we have dark rooms, a dark garage, a dark cabinet corner, or a printer under my desk. Cannot tell you how happy we are!

Called Carl early Monday morning and asked for an afternoon appointment. Was very professional and said he wasn't certain he could make it out but would try. Around 3:30 he showed up, fixed my minor light switch issue and was done in about 20 minutes. Very professional, courteous, and affordable. This was a minor issue but I am certain that if anything major comes up Ace will be the first one I call.

Carl did a great job finding and fixing a flickering problem with the lights in our house. He is very busy and made time to get to us the same day! Fantastic electrician that we highly recommend.

Ace Electric is the best in Austin! The electricians are very smart, professional, and helpful. They have a great attitude, excellent service, and do the job right every time! We will never use anyone else for our electric needs.

We had power go out in three different rooms of our house and called Carl's team to help us find and fix the problem due to his rankings on Yelp. He was very responsive - he called us before he showed up, found and fixed the problem quickly, and explained the issue to us clearly. He and his partner hunted down the issue to a single switch that had gone out in our attic and fixed it up like new. If we have any other electrical needs, we will definitely give them a call back!

Sally W.

08/05/2017 12:00:00 SA

I can't say enough about Ace electric. I called him in a panic because both of my AC's had shut off (and so had the panel). He tried to trouble shoot with me over the phone. Then he came out to me (on a weekend) within half an hour. Turns out it wasn't an electrical issue at all- it was a plumbing issue- the overflow valve shut off the AC's. He actually proceeded to unclog my drain!!! Then he charged me such a reasonable price! He is also such a nice guy and gives out his cellphone number so you can reach him.

Robert R.

08/01/2016 12:00:00 SA

Once again, contacted Carl who gave the best quote out of 3 other reputable competitors. His son and grandson came over and installed new recessed lighting (8), installed ceiling fan and kitchen light fixture in less than 3 hours! He was very informative and kept us informed throughout the entire process and when encountered with a potential issue, they had an immediate answer to the problem. I will certainly use Carl and his son for outside lighting work in the future.

Called around to a few places for a quote on changing out chandeliers in my dining room. Ace has the best rate for a highly rated Yelp business and were able to come out that week. They were polite, friendly and fast.

I found Ace Electric thanks to Yelp's conversation asking about an electrician.

Carl from Ace Electric just came over and finished the job. I had a short in the house that I couldn't figure out what went wrong. Others charge $150 and Carl did the job within the service call price. Almost half of the other guys!!!!

I called him and he showed up within 20 minutes! Very professional and trustworthy.

Carl is a master electrician of 25 years and been working in Austin area for 35 years!! A good price and lots of experience.

Give him a call before you call others!!!!!!!!

I gave Carl a call given the great Yelp reviews and was not disappointed. He said he'd come the next afternoon and came exactly when he said he would. He helped re-wire a couple of lights that had blown out. He not only did that but also installed a new wire connection and replaced the support for one of our lights. All of this at a great rate. He knows his stuff and is reliable and affordable. Definitely recommend.

We had a couple of items requiring the touch of an electrician in our home ... called Ace and set up an appointment to get the work done ... they showed up ... ON TIME ... completed the work IN A TIMELY MANNER ... made simple suggestions for us plus their charge for the work WAS SUPER REASONABLE ... we would highly recommend them ...

Martin N.

I had an AC unit stop working and called the AC company. They determined the problem wasn't the unit but the electrical switch that controlled power to the unit. I called several companies and was told it would be 1-2 weeks before they could replace the switch. I called Ace Electric and they came out within the hour. The service was professional, fast, and completed to my high satisfaction. The AC unit is now running fine. On top of that, the price of the service call was very reasonable compared to what some of the larger companies charge. If I have need of an electrician again I will definitely call Ace Electric. I highly recommend them.

Ace Electric is the Best!! Carl and his son are the ultimate professionals. I am very grateful to have Ace recommended to me. Carl is very responsive and I appreciate the installation of my new electric panel in such a timely manner. Working in all the rain was not an easy task and Carl sailed right through it. The knowledge, expertise, and responsiveness was amazing! It is so nice to have an electrician you can call and know an excellent job will be done!! I will refer Ace Electric to everyone I know!!

Collin C.

05/10/2015 12:00:00 SA

Carl is very fast, efficient and professional. He arrived gave us a fair quote for rewiring some light switches and reconnecting a doorbell. We have an older home (about 80 years old) and he understood the quirks that sometimes occur with the older construction. He was prompt and was able to complete all the work with an assistant with a few hours. We're happy with Ace Electric and you will be too.

Camille D.

10/07/2014 12:00:00 SA

What a pleasant surprise! We had to have some work done related to selling our home and I was really stressing over the potential expense. Carl was professional, honest, affordable, and worked us into his schedule because we had a tight deadline to get the work done. He came by at the end of what must have been a long work day when most people would be sitting down to dinner, and he took the time to explain the rather vague findings from the home inspector. I won't be calling anybody else when it comes time to do electrical work on the new place.

Fast service, affordable, and very professional -- they identified the issue quickly, solved it, and offered a very clear explanation of the work they did. Highly recommended.

The worst I have encountered. Instead of re-routing wires, they chose to place two receptacles in the wall. And, failed the inspection twice. HORRIBLE.
