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.

Had another great electrical service experience with Colvin Electric.  Hayward found and replaced faulty outlets and two GFIs, so now all the outlets work.  Thank you Hayward!  I like how the service rep called 20 mins before coming, and I got a text with the service reps picture and qualifications.  I highly recommend Colvin Electric.

BEWARE!!!! PRICE GOUGING!!!
So I called Colvin electric to see if they could give me a ball park price for the job I wanted done. We had trenches dug and filled with the conduit in place. I needed two 30 amp plugs for our Airbnb trailers, so 90 feet of romex wire was needed, also a plug 30 feet from our house. It was also trenched, had the conduit and back filled. When I called they said they don't give rough estimates over the phone, but they can send out a technician to estimate. Ok that's fine! Send him out. He looked at the job, and emailed me an estimate. Then I got a invoice for $50 for the estimate. Here's my problem, they sent out they're guy and gave a BOGUS price gouging quote, I called 2 other electricians one said 1500 for the ENTIRE job but he was booked out for weeks. Then I called Josh at Pucek Power. He was a little more but could get the job done sooner. Hey my husband is in construction, I understand the different companies charge different prices. Colvin Electric's quote was TRIPLE of what Josh at Pucek power charged. Complete GARBAGE, after I called the other two companies I called Colvin electric and asked why they're quote is so much, two other companies are a third of they're price. I told them I don't understand because I looked up all the reviews and everyone said they're competitively priced. Not the case. Not only did they come out give an outrageous quote but then threaten to LEAN my property if I didn't pay the $50 estimate charge. I called them back and payed the $50. Attached I have they're estimates, and the transcription of Tonya saying they'd lean my property if I don't pay the $50. Also I have Josh's invoice attached. Needless to say we went with Josh at Pucek Power do the job.

I had a last-minute request to have a ceiling fan installed. Renee of Colvin Electric immediately accommodated me for the following day as requested. I got text messages and e-mails from them regarding when the electrician would be coming by. I appreciated Renee's great communication.

Santos came by, and he gave us a quote for how much each part of the job would cost. We asked him to get started, and he enthusiastically did it. Not only was he professional, friendly and great to talk to.. he also did the job efficiently and perfectly! We were so happy to have the ceiling fan installed. We even asked him questions related to our GFCI outlets and a power surge thing that was left by the previous owners. We also asked him for recommendations related to generators. He gave us great advice. Shortly after, Renee messaged me saying that Dave could come by that same day to check out what we needed for the generator. Dave came by right on the dot and gave us all the information we needed. Once we purchase the generator, we will DEFINITELY be hiring Colvin Electric for the install!

Let me start by saying we went to 4 different Electric companies for a quote. We had some major damage due to lightning strike and directly hit our house. I ended up using Colvin Electric and so happy we did. They had a fair price and seemed to be more complete.

Hayward was our Electric technician whom made several suggestions on how to save more money and better protect our home? He was always on time did more than we expected and cleaned up never left anything dirty only a clean and professional job. We wmill always choose them and highly recommend them and tell him you want Hayward I can guarantee you that you will have made the right choice!

This company does it right!  From my first interaction (a request for a quote through Yelp) to my last follow up email, Colvin Electric was super responsive, professional, thorough and friendly. Their price was fair, the work was perfect and the effort they put in to protecting your home and family was so respectful- booties that they took off and put on EVERY TIME they go in and out, masks at all times and a perfectly clean worksite upon completion.
A huge plus for me was the fact that they communicated so well. All appointments were confirmed in a 3 hour window via text and the day of you get a text saying which technician is on the way, as well as a picture and bio for the person who will be in your home!  It made me feel so safe.
I cannot say enough how friendly and professional Michael and Ivan were.

Would HIGHLY recommend Colvin Electric to any and all family, friends and business associates.

From a customer service perspective they were very good.  They communicated with me as needed and were very friendly.  They came out to provide an estimate on the work. The two gentlemen were friendly (except one was not wearing a mask - as the office assured me is the rule, not the exception).  They told me exactly what the problem was and why - I was provided with 2-estimates based on the amount of work to be done.
Unfortunately, I found the estimates to be very high for the work to be done.  So, I ended up going with another solution (1/5th their estimate!).

In progress work with Colvin Electric( to be continued....)

Currently, we have purchased a hottub and based on reviews that I have read Colvin Electric was recommended. I firmly believe that workmanship, communication, and respect from both parties are placed above cost. So I called and booked an appointment; initially there earliest appointment was on Wednesday(I'm calling on a Monday). I thought no big deal because I was excited to get this project done. After I wrapped up work projects on Monday I decided to call back just to see if he had any cancellations.... and they did; Tuesday between 2-5 and my kids were excited because it is almost time to enjoy the new purchase.

Tuesday rolls around.... Colvin communicated with me during the day and informed me that Francisco would be showing up at 2pm. Colvin sent me his photo and a little bio which I was extremely impressed with. He was on time at 2pm; wearing COVID precautions which I appreciated and was extremely friendly to my wife and I. We showed him around and walked him back to where we wearing needing it hooked up and he was extremely grateful. He informed us about the additional service plans they offer and surge protection options, which was not expected but it made us consider purchasing. He told us that he would work up an estimate including the additional 120v outlet we were wanting as well. He walked into our backyard multiple times taking measurements and at 3:50 he came back with our estimate. While it was a little higher than I thought we really liked him and appreciated his communication and attention to detail. He told us that he would contact his manager and let us know when they would be back out because they would need to trench an area to ensure it was up to code. Of course we were not expecting the work to be done today but hoping it would be done over the next two days. He came back after and told us that they would be out first thing in the morning on Wednesday(next day)at 9am. My kids were excited, we signed for the work, and also accepted the monthly maintenance plan(can't complain saved us 10%) and he left.

Fast forward.... 20 minutes later... we receive a call from the Colvin office. A rep informed us that they can't be out here till Friday because of his schedule. I said I'm sorry I am a little confused, he just left and told me tomorrow. I don't know what happened over 20 minutes but ok. This is a little perturbing since I signed knowing he would be here tomorrow but ok. I called back 4 minutes after and asked if there was a waiting list. She said if 2-4 jobs are cancelled then they can move me up.

Friday has arrived and David and Francisco were prompt and on time. I received information on the addition resource(David) needed for my job and couldn't have been more impressed. These guys worked all day and my kids continually brought gatorades and waters out because it was so hot. They were extremely friendly and let me know throughout the day how the progress was coming. They additionally took care of the recent yard work we had done basically making it look like the new electric work was done after. What can I say about Colvin Eectric: outstanding work, outstanding employees, and they treat you like family. Don't go anywhere else.

I had a great experience with Colvin Electric. After the big Texas winter storm in February 2021, I knew it was time to step up my emergency preparedness. I sent an online inquiry to Colvin to get an estimate for installing an inlet box and transfer switch for my generator. They were quick to respond and set up an appointment.

The electrician who came out was very helpful and patiently explained all the options with a detailed estimate. A few weeks later, I called to schedule the work, and the customer service rep was friendly and professional and explained how much time it would take to order the necessary parts.

She texted me when the parts arrived, and it was easy and convenient to schedule the installation. The electrician who completed the work did an outstanding job and explained everything well.

I would be happy to use Colvin Electric again anytime.

Unfortunately, our experience was not as positive as other reviews. As far as the scheduler, I appreciate her friendly and professional attitude when texting me. I also appreciate how you spelled out exactly how this was going to go with the three quotes and the $50 trip charge if we did not use them. I just wish your management and the electrician would've done what you said they would do. My wife did talk to the management but afterwards said that he was no help. After the work was done we were presented with the bill of 355.00 for attaching a loose wire in a wall socket. No 3 quotes. Ridiculous. will not use again. Actual bill below. Mike

We had a great experience with Colvin Electric and can't speak highly enough of Ivan Torres.  He was friendly, professional, and very communicative and responsive throughout the service process.

My husband and I initially called Colvin Electric because we'd lost power to one room in our house.  My husband has done basic wiring and thought he would fix it himself, but it turned out to be more complicated than he'd expected.  Colvin came to diagnose that problem and we also asked them replace our old Federal Pacific breaker panel.  They gave us a quote (which was much better than quotes we received from other places) and we scheduled a time for them to come back and do the work.  They do seem to be pretty busy, because we had to wait a couple weeks, but we are glad we did.  (It seems that most electricians are really busy during this COVID season when so many people are doing home repairs and remodels!)

They replaced the panel and had to test all of the breaker switches to identify them and label them.  They were very professional and considerate as they worked through each room in our house, testing outlets and flipping switches.  Due to an unforeseen circumstance with the city, the inspector wasn't able to come and sign off on the work, so they had to stay very late and get a temporary approval so that our electricity could be turned on.  We appreciated their professionalism, the fact that they were able to find a temporary solution, and that they were committed to staying until everything was taken care of.  Due to that situation with the city inspector, they did not have time to fix the electricity in the room we had initially called about!  But they got us back on the schedule for the next week and were able to take care of the problem in about 30 minutes!  It turns out that the problem started with a neutral on the outlet behind our fridge, which is in a completely separate room than the one that lost power.  We were impressed with how quickly and simply they identified and resolved the issue.

They did a great job on replacing the breaker panel and repairing the electricity in the previously dark room!  We will not hesitate to call Colvin Electric ANY TIME we need electrical work done.

We used Colvert Electric for the installation of three ceiling fans. Ivan, the electrician did an outstanding job of installing, providing information on the remotes for each fan and cleaning up as he went from location to location. He was on time and completed the job in a timely manner.
I highly recommend Colvert Electric.

First of all, I am going to summarize this in the most easy way possible. From now on with electrical issues that we have, I will be using Colvin Electric. Our service rep/manager Michael Galvez was super awesome, educational and professional. He was also very considerate of our home as he was walking around assessing the issue and it was resolved in less than 10 minutes.

One of of my other favorite experience was that days before my repair, I was notified via phone to confirm my appointment with reminders. I also received a text prior to Michael coming on who he was with a brief summary of him. HOW F*CKEN AWESOME WAS THAT! Safety and secured.

There will no other electrical contractor coming to my residence except Colvin. Thanks Michael for a wonderful experience along with the educational conversation about my electrical panel!

We woke up to learn all of the power to our office was completely out impacting our internet and wine fridge. Needless to say, we were eager to resolve the issue. I found Colvin Electric online and was lucky enough to get a same day appt (they had had a cancellation). First, I love that they text you when they're en route and provide a picture and qualification summary of the technician assigned to you. Awesome feature.

Our first technician Hayward was timely, professional and honest. He checked all the outlets in the office and said the outlet behind the wine fridge was likely the culprit but he couldn't access it as the fridge had been professionally installed. Our next appointment I timed to have the refrigerator repair man and the electrician there at the same time. That's not easy to do with lengthy arrival windows but Michael Galvez (Haywards manager) could not have been more accommodating or helpful. Candidly, the fridge repairman was extremely difficult to work with and Michael went above and beyond to help me manage an unnecessarily taxing situation. Michael was friendly, extremely knowledgeable in his trade, patient, and determined to get the job done right - which is exactly what he did. I honestly could not have been more thankful for him as a person and electrician that day. Bottom line, you get what you pay for with this company and I'll be calling them for any future electrical work we require.  MANY thanks again to Michael, Hayward and the whole Colvin Electric team.

Hayward and Associate arrived on TIME and provided an EXCELLENT overview of my kitchen addition Estimate.
Picked up on Haywards Military Focus To Detail and discovered he spent 4 years NAVY. Another Veteran doing an Outstand Job.
Will make my decesion after a few more Estimates. EXCELLENT SO FAR!

No clue on the quality of the work these guys do. I had them scheduled for today, 12/27, from 11am-2pm. I booked this on Monday, 12/23. They called me at 9:57am today telling me they need to cancel because they are too busy.

Great job Colvin!!! From your office staff who promptly responded to my initial request to the professionalism of the electrician that came to do the work. The office immediately called to set up the initial appointment and was very friendly and helpful. Then Ivan showed up early (which he called to confirm if this was ok) I explained what I needed and then he quickly worked up several pricing options for me to chose from. He was careful to explain each option. Then proceeded to do the work and was very respectful of my home.
I work in construction so I was cautious and a bit skeptical but all of that faded quickly. I am very happy with the work they did and the fact that they are right in my area made me more confident. I would gladly recommend them for your electrical needs. Don't hesitate to give them a call.

After calling a few other certified electricians and not receiving a call back (after a full day) I decided to give Colvin a call. What a difference! My call was answered and not sent to a voicemail and I was given the next available time slot. They ended up with an opening the very next day and came out on time, fixed the issue quickly and didn't charge us an arm and a leg. Plus, our tech was super friendly, polite and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Very helpful in both their platform (automated texts informing you of status) and service provided. Hayward was great, explaining issues and resolving as he found them. Price was reasonable, and I especially liked being quoted a job rather than an hourly cost. Highly recommend!

Not too impressed.  I needed garage light fixture replaced, a light switch replaced, and a kitchen fixture moved.   The work was very well done but I believe I was WAY overcharged.  The original bid was about $600 (which I thought was high) but I wanted to get the work done so I agreed to pay it.  When they moved the kitchen fixture, they said I needed a new box capable of handling the weight of the fixture which added about $150 to the bill.  The electrician had to go to Home Depot to get the right box.  The bill was paid IN FULL, by credit card, at the time of service (03 Sep).

I got a call on 16 Sep asking how I intended to pay the $600 that was still owed!  I told the caller that I had paid in full on the day of service and their request was not valid.  I asked to speak with the supervisor and was never able to talk to him/her.  

I do not intend to use Colvin Electric again and certainly will not recommend them to any of the homeowners in Sun City.

We'd been struggling with an outdoor light fixture for way too long--and it was time we needed a professional look at it.  The Colvin Electric folks made us a speedy appointment, completely checked out every possible area for issues, and left us completely happy with our new, beautifully functioning lantern.  We're definitely calling them back if we have any other electrical needs!

These guys were fantastic. They sent a text 30-45 minutes prior to arrival (with technician information so I knew who would be coming), and came out with 2 technicians. I have a commercial stove/range that sparked and created electrical issues - they came out, provided honest advice, and made me feel comfortable without pushing for unnecessary work. I will need to have a stove expert out but will absolutely be calling them back out after my range is fixed and for other electrical needs.

They literally contacted me within minutes of me contacting them. The appointment was set up right away. When Mr. Michael Galvez showed up, I had a ton of things going on in my household and was concerned that I had no electricity in two rooms. He started working right away and fixed the problem. He was very professional and even cleaned up the area for me. This was especially important since I am a busy mama with two babies. Thankfully we have everything working again! Thank you for your great service. I would definitely recommend them!

Upon making a request for a consultation, I received a friendly introductory email from a manager. Before coming out they sent me alerts about their arrival time. They arrived on time. The service manager and technician learned what my needs were and did some inspections. They took a few minutes and then gave me some prices based on options. They seemed a little pricey but everything was going so smoothly that it seemed justified. The electrician did some work and allowed me to help a bit to save some time. Overall they respected my home and were professional in a way you might expect from a foregone era. Highly recommended.

Colvin Electric was very professional on the phone, in person and in their trade. They were able to get to work immediately as we had spoken about on the phone. They also accept all forms of payment. Most important they did not make excuses waste my time.

We selected Colvin Electric to re-wire the electrical line from our exterior fuse box to our oven (the builders used the wrong gauge wire!). Colvin Electric was very responsive and helpful in getting us a quote. Hayward was the electrician that arrived and he did an excellent job. When it came time to deal with the oven itself, he got help from another team member and the two of them went above and beyond to get things setup the right way. Once again, our original builder had botched a few things. Hayward and his associate worked hard to make sure things were in perfect working order before they left. Thank you Colvin Electric. You guys did a great job.

I had an appointment with Colvin Electric to have a chandelier and ceiling fan installed in my home.  The appointment was scheduled about a week in advance for a Friday morning.  The manager called me the Wednesday afternoon before asking if I would mind rescheduling to the following Monday, as they had an urgent job come up where someone's AC had gone out. I said I would, and asked if he could come in the morning because I had an appointment in the early evening.  He was not able to give me a morning time, but was confident after looking at Monday's schedule that they would be able to be there between 2 & 3 PM.  I said ok, but let him know that if it was later that 4 it was not going to work.  He said he understood and thanked me for being accommodating and understanding.  By 3:15 PM on the day of my appointment no one showed. I called and left a voicemail asking for an updated ETA. No return call.  At 4 I called again left a second message and at 4:30.  I also sent 2 texts. Good luck getting ANYONE  to pick up the phone there, or respond. Absolutely NO response.  I missed my appointment and subsequently left my house at 5:45 PM. 10 minutes later an electrician called me to say he was at my house but there was no answer. Seriously? I gave him the background and told him I could not reach anyone at his company and would not be using Colvin for this work or any other and please let the manager know.  The next day I get a text saying 'we hope you were happy with your service...'  What a disconnect.  I never got any response from Colvin.  Obviously they do not need your business.  Very unprofessional!!
