Echeverria Bros Electric

We have used them many times on our investment properties.  They have done everything from minor repairs or installing a few fixtures to completely rewiring a house.  I do not have any complaints.

I have been using Echeverria Brothers Electrical for many years as has my daughter and a few friends.  Sometimes I cringe when I see the following requests posted on social media sites requesting a referral. Looking for a reasonable ... insert occupation.  Reasonable almost always means cheapest.

How much is reasonable?   I am interested in quality especially when it comes to an occupation that might cost you your property or personal injury.  High-power (115-220V) electricians definitely fall into that category.  The first thing I look for is a Master Electrician certification.

I grew up with a dad that was an electrical engineer/electrician with a power and light utility company (KCP&L.)  He taught me a lot, but the most important was not to get in over my head.  Go to a professional.  They have the trained technicians, tools, test equipment, and most importantly the insurance bonding to stand behind their work.  Using your neighbor just because they have a multimeter and alligator pliers is usually not the right solution.  And, most Handymen are not bonded.

My house is older and things are starting to break down.  Over the weekend, using my own multimeter and test equipment, I knew would be in over my head and needed a professional electrician.  I put out a call to Julio Escheverria, again.  I told Julio it wasn't an emergency but he treated it like one and had his crew out here first thing.  They have always been prompt, efficient, tidy ... and REASONABLE.

Echeverria Brothers Electrical gets my highest possible rating.

It was easy to fix an appointment with Julio. He sent a text confirming that Leo will be arriving to take care of the installation of my ceiling fans.

Leo was on time, efficient and courteous. He completed the installs in under an hour. He also took care of the noise that the dimmer switch was causing.

Echeverria Bros are competitively priced. They will be my go to electrician for my future needs.

I called Julio to do an electrical inspection of our rented house. After having a Zinsco panel replaced and learning that the house had aluminum wiring, I wanted to be sure that everything was 100% safe.

He was very honest and didn't charge us anything for the inspection! Highly recommend.

AVOID this company  AT ALL COST. We asked them to replace one thing and exchange out another in our home. Without consent, they did work in excess of what was requested. Then after the work was done Mr. Echeverria showed up walked in the house. This terrified my girlfriend. She asked him who he was he said he was the owner of the company. We had only been expecting Mr. Eceverrria the master electrician. We have no idea if the people that did the work are even licensed. He then leaned an gave her a hug invading her personal space. He then started to ask her personal questions which make her feel even more unsafe. When it was time to pay the bill he expected cash an refused to provide us with an itemized bill. He is very dishonest and unscrupulous!!

This company is shady and all they want to do is rip you off. They came to my Job site and quoted me over 1k on ballets and light bulbs that were good, because after they kept ignoring our calls we called another company and they said only one ballets needs to be replaced and everything was fine. Save you my net and call another company.

Not impressed with this company.  We called for repairs after lightning, Hector came out the same day I called.  I showed him what was not working. We agreed the issue was on one circuit. He gave me a reasonable quote ($650), we scheduled them for the next day.  While I was at work, Julio and his crew came out, Julio left for another job.  His workers got half of the plugs working on the circuit and tried to leave.  My wife told them that the kitchen lights were still not working. They started troubleshooting, went up in the attic and noticed rodent droppings. Julio called me and reported this, said I needed to get rid of the rodents before they would come fix the lights.  He charged me 1/2 of the original quote for fixing half, but stated that the new price to fix the lights was now $2800.  I asked him to explain and he never gave me a reasonable explanation for the price increase for the same work.
We decided to call another electrician, they came out, put a volt meter on the first plug on the circuit in question, found it was only showing 30 volts at the plug.  They cut into the wall, repaired wire and the lights and plugs are now working.  Oh and by the way, they charged me $400 for the repair, a huge difference from the $2800 quote from the Echeverria Brothers!

Awesome! We've used them twice now. They actually saved our kitchen Reno. Honest, fair and best of all, quality work!

I searched and found on Yelp, Echeverria Bros Electric. I used the Request a Quote link provided in their Yelp listing, and I received a text message from Julio Escheverria within about 10 minutes. We quickly made arrangements for him to come by my house to have a look at the work I was needing. He not only talked to me about the work that would be involved, but he also made some recommendations regarding some deficiencies and safety concerns he noticed by observation.

You could not ask for a nicer, sincere person. Julio quoted me a price and got to work two days later. His team left no trace of a mess and the workmanship was perfect. I am completely happy with the job they did and would highly recommend them to friends or family.  I will definitely call Julio again when I am ready to make some of the recommended upgrades needed to bring my house up to code.  A++++

My and my wife bought house from 60' and most of the electrical wiring and some of the breakers were still original. Julio and his crew brought this old house up to code again.
Julio has great team of hard working guys. I wouldn't trust with this work to anyone else.

Julio and his crew are outstanding. I moved here 2 years ago, and have used Echeverria Bros Electric  for my house, and  barn, and at least 6 different projects. Every time they came out,
the job was done quickly, professionally, and at a very fair price. Julio is really great to work with, and we would not use anyone else for any electrical work. We rest easy knowing the job is always done right. Whether big jobs or small, they are the best!

Awesome electrician.
Of the five electricians I called on New Year's day he was the only one that answered the phone and he showed up at our house within 30 minutes.
true dedication quality work highly recommended.

I'm an elderly woman on a fixed income.  I knew my home wasn't safe, with fuses breaking and an occasionally spark coming from electric sockets.  It was a real hazard.
After several quotes I decided to use Julio because:
1.  He rewired my 3 bedroom 2 bath home in one day!  Other companies took several days which meant my freezer foods would've thawed. Ewww
2.  His rates were better than other companies
Lastly, he received 5 star because of his crew.  They work was precision and the outcome was awesome.
He added several extras and told me it was my Christmas present!  Loved that!!!
When they were done I called my neighbor and showed her the results which were obvious to see even for us electrically challenged women!!!  We will both recommend Julio and his crew to any one who needs electrical work done.

Julio Echeverria was hired through my Contractor to fix the electrical work from a prior contractor and have it meet code (price below is what she told me she paid him). Overall the work was done well and I love the under-cabinet lights; however, his guys were a bit brutal and damaged three of my cabinets, did poor quality caulking around the can lights in the living room and left the chandelier lights blinking every couple of seconds (this is still an issue but I do not want to call him to fix it because I cannot stand the idea of seeing him again). My biggest issue, however, was Mr. Echeverria's  unprofessional behavior and violation of my personal space.

For some reason, when I first met him he decided to greet me with a hug instead of a professional handshake. I found this to be very weird. Whenever he came to the house over the few weeks his employees worked at my house he wanted a hug, which made me very uncomfortable.  As I needed him to finish the work at my house I put up with it. He started with his arms wrapped around my shoulders and as time went by, he progressively moved his hands down my back. The last full hug he gave me, his hands were just above my rear and he placed a light kiss on my bare shoulders. I wanted to vomit.

In addition to his frisky hands, I would work out every morning and would be wearing workout gear, which is the time he would stop by and he made multiple comments about my body, so much so that I started wearing huge sweatshirts in my house until I knew he wouldn't be around. He even told me once about a dream he had of me. He would also text me with comments saying let's see when I can stop by to say hello to you and after me avoiding him by hiding in the back and ignoring his texts that he was here (at my house), I owe him two (hugs) for tomorrow (winky face).

By about this point I started making any excuse to not see him or be touched by him. He came by once when I didn't expect him and came into the office at the back part of the house (where no work was being done) just so he could get his hug. I was uncomfortable, but again, I needed him to finish since he was the electrician registered on the permit and I still didn't have it in me to be rude to him. Luckily I had my dog with me and was able to hold her between us so he could only give me a side hug. After this incident, I pretended to be on the phone every time I saw him so he would leave me alone. On one visit he knocked on my office door three times to get his hug but I was on the phone so he finally left.

The last time I saw him, I had come home and didn't expect him but luckily my husband was home along with the contractor and a lot of other people. I gave him a quick polite wave and ran to the back of the house to my husband and stuck to him like glue until Mr. Echeverria left.

I am absolutely disgusted by his unprofessional behavior. I am a married woman, a fact that Mr. Echeverria was fully aware.  Even if I wasn't married, his behavior was unprofessional and unwanted.

Julio and his crew came to my home and did a fantastic job.  Evaluated the problem and replaced poor workmanship from a prior electrician. Everything works like it should and it looks great too.

If you need a quick response and trusted professional work call these guys.

I was referred to Julio by another contractor. He replied to me immediately and communicated that same way throughout the time I needed him. He came to the house himself, with his crew. They were all very nice and very professional. I was very happy with the work. Once he left, I realized that I had made a huge mistake and had the wrong chandelier replaced. He showed me great empathy and communicated with me and reassured me he would help me. I HAD to have it fixed before a certain time the very next day and he came through for me!!! I am so relieved and so grateful. I would highly recommend this company! Ask for Julio!

They came out and looked at my breaker boxes and told me both need to be replaced.  One breaker box had power and fully working.  The other breaker box had a faulty main breaker.

When I told him to show me with voltmeter what is wrong and why I need to replace them.  He came up with an excuse, I need to call another technician and charge you to show you.  That's when I knew ...  I told him I need to get more estimates and asked him to leave.

I used another electrician to replace the one faulty main breaker in the box that wasn't working and paid much less than $8000 these guys quoted me.

Called late yesterday around 4:30pm.  They came within 30 minutes to quote the job.  All that was needed was to install a 220 wall outlet and plug for our new slide-in oven.  Fair price given so scheduled for 9:30 am today.  Showed up on time.  Job done in 30 minutes.  Happy.

Boy did Julio and Hector save the day! I had some electrical problems in my kitchen and I just knew something big was wrong-and boy was I right! The entire electrical box had to be replaced that held my circuit breakers. I originally freaked out at the price but they were both so nice and worked with me. They even did the work the same day and did it in about 4 hours! Julio even bought me lunch. I can't say enough about them. They're amazing electricians and I will be calling them for any future work I need done! I highly recommend them!

This is a GREAT family owned business. They are fast, efficient and professional. Half my electricity was blown in my house because I did not have a surge protector which also blew out the motor to my air conditioning. Echeverria Bros came out and worked endlessly for 12+ hours until everything was fixed. Afterwards, Julio stayed another hour just to make sure our house was cooled and everything was safe. They make you feel like family and made an unfortunate situation go as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend them for all your electrical or heating and cooling problems. THANK YOU JULIO!!

Sorry, have to be the discriminator in this one..  Called Julio on Wednesday and he was willing to set appointment for Friday, September 02.  Informed him that Friday midday would be fine, and thus set appointment.  Now, he did text me at 0700 and asked if he could ome earlier, (so, at least he earned one star for that ).  I stated that I was at work , and would not be home until 11am. He then stated that that would be OK.
Waited at home from 11 am until 2 pm...
2 pm, I texted him  and told him not to bother coming.  
He did respond..with GOT it,Thanks!

However, he did not text at 11 to state whether he was running late.. or to at least give the courtesy of stating that he would not be able to make it.  

Oh well, at least now I know who NOT to deal with.
It also makes me wonder about all the positive reviews...

Our experience with Echeverria Bro Electric was positive. I mass messaged a bunch of electricians through yelp. And got a lot of beat around the bush answers.

Why I went with Echeverria Bros:
Julio messaged me back quickly!
Julio was clear with his answers.
I wasn't going to have to pay for a trip fee, a service fee, estimate fee, diagnostic fee and whatever else the other guys throw at their customers.
Oh and open on the weekend!! Very nice!!

Why you should pic the Echeverria Bros:
They're quick! Julio was able to get his team out the first Saturday (my preferred day) after he checked out the house. And they finished it all in one day.
Julio knows what he's talking about. You can tell he's not new to this business.
His prices are competitive! I had the same kind of work done 5 years ago at my first property. I got a lot of estimates because I didn't know what was a good price for this sort of issue. Back then I went with the best estimate I received. Now I got the same done and a bit more done with the Echeverria Bros for a similar price. Not bad at all.
My house is old and the electric was equally old. I worried every time I left my house. Praying my house wouldn't be burnt to the ground by the time I got home. But now we feel safe.
I look forward to working with them again for some outdoor lighting. :)
Highly recommended.

On 6 June 2015 we had an electrical issue with our home where about half the power in the home was working and the other half was not. I checked the breaker box and the GFIC outlets thinking like most of the time that was the culprit, but that was not the case yesterday. As we always tend to do my wife and I started looking for highly rated electricians on Yelp and found Echeverria Bros Electric, I gave the number provided a call and Julio picked up right away. He asked what the issue was and where I was located, when I told him he said he was working close by and that he would swing by to take a look.

Low and behold fifteen minutes later I get a knock on the door and Julio is there. He comes in, I show him the problem, he immediately went to the breaker box, and through the use of his multimeter determined we were having an issue with the transformer. He gave me the number to the local electrical provider, I offered to pay him for stopping by and troubleshooting but he wouldn't accept it. The only thing he asked was for a bottle of water and a review on Yelp, so to keep my end of the bargain I told him I would gladly do that for him and his company.

Hopefully we keep the electrical issues to a minimum in my household but I can say with 100% certainty if we do need an electrician in the future Julio Echeverria will be the first guy I call. In addition to his promptness he had a great attitude as during the fifteen minutes or so he was in my home we were laughing and he seemed like he was a really good guy. I personally appreciate the fact he's a good natured guy and even though he did not actually perform any service yesterday per say he troubleshot the issue quickly and provided the solution to the problem. It was a quick interaction but definitely long enough for him to represent his company well and to put his business at the top of the list of local electricians for me.

We asked Julio to come out and check some ballasts in our fluorescent lights in our building.  We also needed two wired doorbells and an Exit sign repaired.  Julio sent two guys out the next day who promptly began trying to sell us $50 (each) fluorescent light bulbs.  (Hello, I can buy a box of 30 for $60.)  When we weren't interested in buying the $50 bulbs they told us we had 8 ballasts out.  They were quoting us price gauging prices.  I called Julio to find out what was going on.  He renegotiated the price and then his guys left to collect the parts they would need. We never saw them again!  And, Julio has yet to return any of my calls.  Oh, and the two guys that did come out spoke only Spanish, or so we were told.  They made me communicate with them through one of our people who speaks Spanish.  We ended up going over the lights Echeverria Bros Electric told us needed new ballasts, and with new, fresh lightbulbs everything works fine.  So, the techs lied!  Not cool.  We definitely did not get anywhere near professional, reliable service.

I had a fairly large re-wiring project that needed to be done quickly. Julio and his crew spent several hours in the heat of the summer working on this outside job. I have very mixed feelings about his company, so I will sum them up with my pros and cons.

Pros
Well priced (I think)?
Desperately want to make it right.
Responsive

Cons
Didn't complete the job exactly the way it was described.
Left screws and debris in and around the pool area
Damaged my car, which I was able to nearly correct
Not very prompt

There were several things that happened that you A. May not believe or
B. would just make your head shake. So, the question becomes would I use them again? Probably.

Yelp, has once again, saved the day.

But this time...I can't take credit. The boyfriend decided to take matters into his own hands and find an electrician to hang our entryway light. Our ceiling is about 20ft and renting a ladder and doing it ourselves was out of the question.

Lo and behold, the Yelps found us a winner.

Julio was fantastic. He did have to reschedule on us due to an emergency, but not a big deal. He let us know in plenty of time and was prompt to arrive the next day. In total, he spent about an hour and half putting together the light and installing it. He didn't even complain about the wolf dog jumping up on him and licking him when he was putting the light together. This guy is the utmost professional.

This guy is a keeper and needless to say, we will be using him again.

Had a great experience after finding them on Yelp. We needed help installing a ceiling fan and repairing the wall switch in an upstairs bedroom They even offered to come the same day I called, but I couldn't leave work. They came out a couple days later and I was quoted an hour and $100 for the work. The guys were on time (they actually beat me to the house), finished in about 45 minutes, and it was $100 as quoted even though they had to put in a brand new wall switch I didn't already have. The owner also followed up with me later in the day to ask how it went and if the work was completed well. Thought that was a nice gesture. Will keep them in mind for any future electric work needed around the house and would definitely recommend to others!

Over four years ago, I used another electrician to fix my fire alarms from constantly going off in my home and it was obvious that that electrician did not do the job right.  The alarms usually chose 4am to let me know they weren't working correctly.  No, it wasn't a battery issue and  I don't have to tell you how annoying it is to fight with fire alarms in the middle of the night.  So, to kill the problem, I completely pulled the alarms, shut the fuse down and lived without smoke alarms for a long time.  I know, not very smart!!

I met Julio Echeverria networking in Plano and I knew just from talking to him, that he could fix the problem immediately.  I was right!!  Not only did he and his brother, replace every alarm in the house, but guaranteed that I would not be jolted out of bed in the middle of the night for screaming alarms again.  So far So Good!!!  

Julio was friendly, prompt, knowledgeable and very trustworthy! I appreciated his honesty and explaining the issues as he worked.  Since then I have had Julio add a ceiling fan to my home office and I couldn't be happier and totally cool.   I would recommend Echeverria Brothers Electric to everyone with any electrical needs.  He goes over and above the call of duty to make sure your lights, switches, fans, plugs and more are working correctly.  Pricing is fair, reasonable and affordable!  

He get's shocked, so YOU don't have too!

This is the second time Julio came to work on my house. The first time one of the bedrooms had no power and he was able to identify the problem and fix it. The second time was a tough one. Two of my front outside flood lights wouldnt come on and the breaker wouldn't stay on. Both times he was able to diagnosed the issue and explain what the problem was and how to fix it.  

You won't get the run around and the price is fair. The price is not cheap by any means but the quality of work makes up for it.

Had an issue with our dishwasher not working and called a local appliance guy out only to find out that the issue was no power getting to the dishwasher.   Found EB on some reviews posted on Nextdoor.com.  Trying to get an electrician on Friday afternoon was more about who could make the call rather than who I got. Could not have gotten luckier with finding these guys.  Julio arrived and fixed the issue - bad breaker, without even turning his truck off.  Heck of a guy and #1 service.   If you need an electrician look no further.

Julio is very nice and knows his stuff. After his team completed the work they came to do at our home (which was done quickly and beautifully) he pointed out a probelm we had that would cause a fire if not addressed quickly. He said if we PAID CASH he would give us a discount. We called another company and sent them a photo of the problem. He said it was the POWER COMPANYS side and would not be our expense. Julio knows his business but his dishonesty is shameful.
We will not call him again.

Julio and his team were OUTSTANDING!  Every member of his team was professional and very friendly.  They used drop cloths in every work area to ensure no mess was left as well as cleaned and vacuumed anything left on the floor or surrounding area that the drop cloth did not catch.  Their response time is very fast as well as their timeliness at the job site,  Thourough, knowledgeable, and reliable.  I will be spreading the work and I will certainly be using Escheverria Bros. for all future work at my home.  I will be calling soon for more work that needs to be done.  Thank you Julio and your whole team.  Well done!!!!!!!!!

Julio Echeverria is the Best Electrician i know of in all of Dallas! I highly recommend him! Dr Rey Adorable

If you're looking for a great, quality electrician, look no further. We were in a total jam with regard to our brand new dryer that wouldn't work and Julio (the owner of the business) went above and beyond to help us out. I had no clue where and how to find a good electrician, so a google search brought me to: electriciansnetworks.com. There were a couple of guys listed but Julio had the most 5 star reviews and a very friendly picture as well.

After spending nearly 3 hours with the man, I owe it the DFW area to let people know that if you need a licensed electrician who won't charge you an arm and a leg and is truly trustworthy, you really need to work with Julio.

Our brand new dryer was not heating up and the repair man said that it was an issue with our socket not running 240V. Within about 10 minutes Julio was able to tell us that our plug was fine and that the issue was likely the dryer's fault. At this point, he really could have left because it wasn't in his job description to fix it. However, he did a lot more testing and figured out that the dryer's cord was actually broken. Again, he could have left, but instead, he went back to the appliance store with me to get a new cord which we shockingly found was STILL malfunctioning (obviously a manufacturing defect). Again, Julio could have left, but he was more than willing and happy to go to Home Depot and buy ANOTHER cord and replace it. Not only did he do this, but true to his field of being an electrician, he was able to figure out exactly what was wrong with the broken cord. He quickly installed the new cord and lo and behold, we now have a dryer that actually dries clothes.

Also important to note--Julio didn't even charge us extra for all the extra work. The price he gave us at the start was the price he stuck with--even after making two more runs to buy new cords! He also mentioned that any work that he did for us has a personal warranty from him for another year, so if anything does go wrong with something that he fixed, he'll come back and fix it free of charge.

I was really worried about getting ripped off by a random electrician that I found online, but Julio is absolutely wonderful. Not only did he go above and beyond to fix our problem, but he is genuinely a friendly, trustworthy guy and I almost wish I had more electrical issues so he could come fix them. Almost :). There weren't many Yelp reviews (or any) for electricians in my area so for those looking, I promise, just call EB Electric!

All  can say is they are fast, clean, and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them. Julio and his crew were great. Very friendly

I contacted Julio over 3 months back but only last Friday met to discuss what was needed.  We reviewed the items and he said it would be done Tuesday.  Over the weekend I realized there were a couple of items I omitted.  His crew did a great job and Julio even got my extra items added.  I would have given them 5 stars but they trampled (destroyed) about 4 or 5 wood ferns.

Very prompt.  We have a light fixture installed.  Julio was in and out in no time.  He called me back the same day I called for an appointment.  He was willing to come out and work on a Sunday, and if we didn't have some place to be we would have taken him up on his offer.  I thought his pricing was great as well.

Julio is great.  When he tells you to call anytime, he means it.  He and his employees arrived on time to install an electrical panel and when I had a concern later, he came right away to address it.  This is the kind of customer service that is lacking today.  Very refreshing to see it is alive and well with this company.
I will definitely use again.

Contacted Echevarria Bros. Julio Echeverria scheduled the job and showed up on time. Evaluated and fixed the electrical problem in 30 minutes. Courteous and friendly.

Julio was recommended by my home inspector, and I couldn't be happier with his work. His communication before, during and after the job was refreshing. For once I didn't have to chase a contractor down.  He came out to my newly purchased home and pulled an old circuit box out of the closet and remounted it outside, grounded it, added a whole house surge protector (I'll never need to by another one again - who knew??)  and cleaned up the entire wiring mess left by prior cable vendors. He eliminated several double taps of high voltage and rewired appropriately . He even added an additional outlet to the front of the house because he said I needed it - and didn't charge me for it!  His crew was friendly, professional, neat and fast.  Best of all, I was able to pay him in increments for the next few days after he completed his work.  He told me he trusted me, and that was all I needed to hear.  If you're looking for a good electrician for a good price and quality work, call Julio.

We hired Julio to do the electrical incidental to getting a new heat pump.  When he came over, he discovered that we had a Federal Pacific panel.  He told me it was a fire hazard.  I did some internet research and found that quite a few homes have burned down as a result of these panels put in houses from the 60s to the 80s.  So I hired him to replace the panel along with some other stuff.  He is very thorough in his work and emphasizes safety.

He is the best, he is responsive, affordable and gets the job done with a great attitude. Most electricians are a racket, charging you trip charges and all that BS, this guy is good, affordable and does it with a great attitude, I HIGHLY recommend him, but don't use him too much we need him for more work on our house!

I couldn't believe it when I called Echeverria Bros in a panic at 10:36pm and Julio actually answered the phone! I was have a phantom electrical problem, and had no electricity to parts of my den, kitchen and dining room.  My 75 gallon fish tank was the concern since it needs constant electricity to keep everything alive.  Julio asked me several questions over the phone to try to diagnose the problem, and assured me that it could be fixed. He gave me suggestions to get the tank going that night (several extension cords!), and he asked if we could wait until the morning to do the work. Of course! It was after 11pm by then.  He and his assistant arrived promptly this morning, and tested many, many switches and outlets to find the problem. And Julio couldn't have been nicer ---  good sense of humor, too!  They fixed the problem, cleaned up the pieces of wire, and other trash, and charged a very, very fair price. And they wouldn't even think about leaving until I had tested all the switches to make sure everything was working right. I will definitely use Echeverria Bros again, and will pass the word on to my friends. And they do roofing work, too, so they sent their roofing expert out to check some things for me. She said my roof looked great, and didn't need anything done. Who is that honest?? I'll definitely use Echeverria Bros. again.
