Reese Electric

James came here attending a very last minute call. He couldn't fix the issue at the day so he didn't charge us for the visit.

The next time around he fixed the issue and even took the time to explain why it was happening and how the previous electricians did a bad job. I already knew they did a bad job, but not the extent of it.

Will definitely use it again.

Winter freeze of Austin, Texas 2023.

Rain was freezing, trees were splitting and coming down, no one around us had power besides those who had previously installed batteries for solar panels, gassed home generators, or manual portable generators...so attentively there I was attending to my gas/propane generator with a huge grin on my face. This was EXACT situation for why we contracted James at Reese Electric. I did have to do a little review before I started things up cuz it was a while since the last outage, but I was expectantly successful with his easy setup. I dont think I could have messed it up if I tried!

But I did mess up this time! Back track a little, we had a planned trip on Friday of the outage. Its the third day now but our family left the house. With the pressure of time unpowered(cuz I had to unplug), and trusting that the power would turn back on before our return I rushed thd process. 3 days later when we returned and learned it hadn't been restored but knew from neighbors that it was back on Saturday morning. We were freaking out! I couldn't figure out what I did wrong. I immediately called James and also texted Oncor out.  James responded immediately and was at our house in 30 minutes. Oncor follwed behind him minutes later which was actually really impressive with the outages and how busy they've been. The support system was so amazing! James identified the issue, fixed within like a minute, Oncor was super supportive and content that we were taken care of...it was just electrical service heaven!!

James had absolutely no hesitation revisiting after his installation a year+ ago which speaks volumes for his confidence, excellent service, attentiveness, skill, and fair wage.

I have an electrician we trust and I love that!

The recessed lights in our kitchen started flickering and one went out all together. I submitted a request on Yelp and Reese Electric responded right away, provided me a fair quote and scheduled my appointment in a very timely manner. I was shocked how quick the repair took and got 4 lights installed and back working in under a hour. It is so hard to find honest and decent work these days so I will def be using this company again. Please check them out if you have any electrical repairs that need to be completed or inspected.

Awesome company. Very responsive, and gave continuous advice even after the job was completed.

I highly recommend hiring James at Reese Electric. He is reliable, honest, skilled at his trade, and offers fair pricing.

I hired James to convert my house's overhead service line to underground, and replace the service panel. Although the process took much longer than anticipated because of issues with Austin Energy, James got the work done as quickly as he could in a high quality manner.

If you're looking for a fair and high-quality electrician, James is your guy.

I am really impressed with the quality and timeliness of his service. We called for a quote and James was right on top of it, giving me an estimate based on photos sent to him of our panels and desired location for the new Tesla charger. He was also quick to respond to our inquiries about his availability, and we were able to get it done on the day we took delivery of the car. I got several quotes for his job and James was comparable in price to a couple of them and way cheaper than a few who tried to tell me I needed more work done. I will definitely be having this company back to my house for future electric work I have planned. Two thumbs up-- one for not bullshitting me about what my house needed to safely install a charger, and another for being an all around great guy with above and beyond service.

James was great! Exactly the kind of person you want to do business with: friendly, knowledgeable and responsive. I asked that he install an outlet so I could purchase an electric stove.

His plan and estimate were reasonable - and he was available for follow-up questions. I'll definitely follow up if I need electrical work done in the future!

He went way above and beyond what we asked!! He helped us out if a very hard situation and was such a kind honest guy! It was a pleasure meeting and working with him. Everyone should use Reese Electric

I recently purchased a Tesla and out of no where my delivery date jumped up 3 weeks. So I quickly scrambled to get some quotes on installing the home charger. I was given quotes that ranged up in the 3.5k area that would have me scheduling a shut off with my local utility. I was super heart broken thinking this would take weeks to install. Then the clouds parted when I got a message back from James. He asked for some pictures of my breaker box and the area I wanted to install it. Then I was shocked when he gave me a quote of 650 and could be there Friday. He was on time and went over everything to confirm the details. He walked me through my breaker box and showed me the best place to put the charger. A couple hours later and I was testing it out. Absolutely flawless work. I then asked if he could give me a list of things I should/need to do as in maintenance or concerns etc. he walked me through details on how there are no more slots left on my breaker box but there isn't a need to upgrade it yet unless I wanted to put in a hot tub or a generator etc. I jotted down my notes and was grateful when he said to plan to do it in the cooler months so the outage doesn't suck to sit through.

All in all I am super happy that I went with a local company and met a real nice guy. The kind of guy that would help your mom out in tough times. I plan on hiring him again in a couple months. Sadly my wife has been talking my ear off about a hot tub lol

Reese was great, I was bad. He got in touch with me via email. I'm terrible about looking through my email. I was the one that didn't provide the correct photos, but he kept after me. I didn't get back to him for quite a while. I told him I was as sorry as the guy that kicked the Pope.  He did a great job installing the generator.  He was careful to explain it to me. The one he installed is one we will use for glamping, so it will keep the fridge and a couple of other things going in an outage. I'm going to get one dedicated to the furnace, and air conditioner, so, yeah, I'll be getting back for that one.

I highly recommend Reese Electric. James was prompt, professional and courteous.

Thanks, James!

Working with James was great. When we moved into our home there was some DIY electrical work installed on the fence and now basically dangling from hangers. After getting the fence repaired we wanted the electrical to be reinstalled and done right. I reached out and after a quick conversation and some photos, he gave me a really fair quote. He wasn't the cheapest but in my experience I've rarely had a good experience with the cheapest. But on the other hand, he was a almost half as much as my most expensive quote.

The work looked fantastic, he was knowledgeable and very friendly.

We got to talking about Texas winters and generators and he let me pick his brain a bit. He ended up recommending a portable system that could keep most of the house running in the event of an extended blackout, most importantly our heating and critical appliances. I ordered the generator and had him back out to install the inlet. He got it all installed nicely and we did a dry run of getting the generator started and using the interlock to bypass main power. He took the time to make sure I understood the ins and outs of the system to keep me and my family safe. Gave me a few tips on how to prep if there is a freeze coming.

Long story short, if there is any electrical work needed by myself or friends, I would absolutely recommend Reese Electric.

I called James on Monday and explained to him that I need 3 ceiling fans replaced. He gave me a quote via text, he asked me to text him some pictures and set up an appointment for the following day.
He came in on time and was very professional.
He replaced all ceiling fans and there were no hidden fees. I highly recommend Reese Electric .

Great company, did excellent work and did it when promised. He obtained the permit from the city of Cedar Park, scheduled PEC to disconnect and reconnected the power and scheduled the inspection when completed. His work was excellent!

We had Reese install a 240 volt overhead line from our main box to the carport. He also expertly ran an additional line for our DuraMax generator. His work was beyond excellent.  Could not recommend him more highly. He is our number one go to man for any future electrical work. He will always be number one on our list of best workers ever!

James was GREAT! He diagnosed a problem that we have been having for quite some time and two other electricians were unable to find, James also found some electrical issues that we did not even know we had (burnt wiring inside our outlet). His pricing was more than fair and the service he provided was excellent, I highly recommend James and Reese Electric for all your electrical needs.

Great job! Responded quickly and more affordable than many other places I called. The owner was friendly, even showed me and explained what he was doing! I'd call them again (hopefully I don't have to) for any of my electrical needs!

Perfect Sauna electrical installation. Will use for all future electrical needs. Thanks!

Have used Reese electric twice now.  Even though the jobs were small, James was responsive, on time, polite and professional.  The work was clean and well done.  Will be asking Reese to help with some more projects in the future.

Awesome experience with Reese electric! James came and got my house setup with a generator connection for the entire house! He installed a breaker interlock and a 50 amp connection for the generator underneath our main panel.
His work was super clean and his communication excellent. It's hard to find reliable contractors these days. James exceeded my expectations and was top notch professional. He came to my house twice. First was a consultation to check my Amp load before ordering parts. After ordering parts he set an install date and was there right on time.
I was blown away that he spent the time with me to understand the new generator I knew nothing about. His install included a step by step walk through of how to use everything and a full test when everything was installed. Everything worked great HVAC and all!
If you are looking to get your house set up for the next winter storm, look no further than Reese electric.

They came out to install a pool table light on a vaulted ceiling where they had to relocate an existing light about six feet. They were super responsive, very nice, and actually checked out another light fixture I had free of charge. I very much recommend them.

I agree with previous reviewers that James Reese is awesome. He was helpful from my very first Yelp request for quotes to the actual install. He advised me on which generator to get and gave me an installation quote based on pictures of my main panel and surrounding area. On the day of the install, he walked me through hooking up and running my new generator and waited while I tested its capability.

I've already asked him to do another electrical project for us.

Reese Electric is the definition of professional service. I reached out to get a transfer switch installed so I could power my house with an RV generator the next time the Texas grid goes down. James knew exactly what I needed and quoted a very fair price compared to the other quotes I received. Then after the install was complete, he verbally walked me through the process of switching house power to generator power and watched as I followed his instructions, just to make sure I was educated and knew exactly how to use the system. Now I can power all the essentials in our home during a power outage. I wish all service pros provided this level of knowledge, value and dedication.

James was wonderful to work with. I had an issue where my rental property lost power to an appliance and I needed immediate help. I reached out on a Wednesday evening and James was able to get out there the next day. He was very gracious and was able to fix the issue immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and I will absolutely be contacting him in the future should any other electrical problems arise. Thanks, James!

James and Jaime did a fantastic job on our electrical rewiring project.  We are replacing 4 can lights with a chandelier and they removed the can lights, rewired the electricity, and installed a mounting box for the chandelier.  James was responsive, his price was fair, he was prompt and arrived when he said he would and did a great job!  I would definitely hire Reese Electric for any electrical job.

Hired James @ Reese Electric to install a Generac 22kw home standby generator. It was top notch professional service every step of the way. He installed a whole-home standby generator and automatic transfer switch. He came up with a clever solution to reorganizing our panels to make use of limited wall space. He got a service outage scheduled quickly when others warned of months-long delays. He was a pleasure to work with and I couldn't recommend him more highly!

My daughter and her husband met with James to install a plug where we can use a generator in case we have one more crazy winter, I requested to talk to James
He was prompt and showed up at house as promised, not only was he on time, he updates on departure and arrival times.
I can say with confidence that James is honest and reasonable, he did an absolutely fantastic job
I recommend his services, I will be telling all my friends and family about him
Thank you James for providing my family a piece of mind sir

We have used Reese Electric at our place of business many times. They are the answer to electrical advice and repairs when needed. James is always on time, very polite and takes time to explain everything thoroughly. Scheduling is easy and prompt.  We would definitely recommend Reese Electric to anyone needing a knowledgeable and professional electrician. And his prices are very fair. We will definitely use him again.

Cannot recommend James enough, excellent work, communication, and professionalism.  Very thorough and walked me through everything I needed to know afterwards.  Would undoubtedly pursue for further electrical needs in the future.
