Reviews
I came home from work last week to a house without AC, temperatures hitting the 90s and extremely muggy inside. There was no way we were staying in that house all night with my 11 month old baby and dogs. I was either getting us all a hotel room, or with any luck, track down an HVAC company in short notice. I called 10 different companies (all highly rated on yelp) and left detailed voicemails. Kevin, the owner of TX Star Srvs, was the ONLY company to return my call. Not only did he return my call, he did so within 25 minutes of my call, and arrived at my house 30 minutes after that. TALK ABOUT A+ AFTER-HOURS SERVICE! He was very pleasant, professional, and understanding of my plight, having kids himself, he knew that there would be no way a baby could sleep in our house that night.
In ~45 minutes, he had the problem diagnosed, FIXED, and the AC blasting again. I knew that I would have to pay extra for the after-hours emergency AC house-visit, but I think it was a fair price at the end of it, and definitely worth every penny. I highly recommend this company! (side note... my bro-in-law is also in HVAC, he agreed that Kevin charged a fair price.)

I have been looking for someone to help me install a rear venting kitchen hood for a long time. Kevin with Texas Star Services was just the man for the job. Kevin was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. He arrived ready for the task at hand and wasted no time getting started. He welcomed all my questions with a confidence that comes only from experience. I will be using his services again and will recommend him to friends and family.
I needed a dedicated plug for a new garage freezer and one other small job. Kevin was right on time and did a very professional job. Highly recommend!

Kevin came and fixed our electrical issues. He was early, friendly and professional. He also replaced a fan on the back patio and corrected bad installation from a previous and different installer. He explained everything and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend him!

This is the 2nd time we have called Texas Star Services and we definitely recommend them. He has been super quick to reply both times we called and has shown up within a few hours each time! He fixed both issues quickly (one was an electrical issue in the main living area, the other was a faulty garage door), he explains what he did to fix the issues, and he is super friendly! Don't hesitate to call Texas Star Services!

Did not check the cost of a general once a year check up. Kevin showed up and said $190.
Competition says it is only $80 to due general checks to see if all is operating well.
The unit was very clean and Kevin was done in 30 minutes.
If I had confirmed the cost before having Kevin at my front door we would not have had him come out.
The total price paid is the only reason for this lo rating.
North Texas Comfort next time.
Kevin from Texas Star Service filled both of our ac units with freon and took the time to explain all the details of the tune up and the amount of lbs of the R22 he added. I have dealt with shady techs before and my family will only trust Kevin to service our units, he's very honest and patient.
Another call today from Anna at Texas Star Services and the number came in as being from Euless. I have never, and will never, use your company. Stop cold calling me.
Not only do you call me a liar in my previous review of your company but you also don't have the decency to just stop calling. It's beyond ridiculous and I'm surprised you have any customer base at all.
I have used texas star services to maintain my have units for the past few years. Kevin has always given me honest and fair service and recommendations and has gone above and beyond to work with my hectic schedule. He works fast and efficiently. I highly recommend him.

Kevin came in and did great quality work. He replaced a bathroom fan that required cutting a bigger hole in the ceiling. A new hole was cut and patched. He also hung Ring video monitors, adding a junction box where one was required by code. Kevin was very careful not to damage the house. He also took time to double-check that other connections were safe and up to code. You can trust Kevin not to take shortcuts with his work.
Kevin was very knowledgeable, friendly and honest. Other AC techs told us we'd need a new unit, but Kevin said as long as we don't have to put coolant in it every few mo ths, we're good. He was on time and quick. We'll be using him going forward for our HVAC needs.
We called to have our Electric Panel Inspected for safety, after a house fire in our area. Kevin showed up and thoroughly explained everything he was looking for to ensure it was safe. We were willing to have the sheet rock ripped out to verify proper installation, and Kevin could have easily done so, and charged us. However, after removing the electric panel, and showing me what he looks for, he felt it was not necessary to do so. He saw no evidence that would warrant ripping the wall out. Again, even though he could have, and we would have happily paid for the peace of mind he gave us, he didn't do unnecessary work. He was extremely fair, and only charged us for the service call and his time. If you want an electrician who is thorough and provides service with honor and integrity, I would highly recommend Texas Star.
Thank you again Kevin, for excellent and honest service.
Kevin, was informative, educational, seemed very knowledgeable. He solved the problem with my AC unit...it is working great again. He waited patiently while it defrosted, added freon and then made sure it was running well and cooling correctly before he left. He was never in a hurry, he had a great assistant, he explained what he was doing and why. I thought for the time spent and job done, he had a fair price. I will use Kevin again again and would feel comfortable recommending him.
Called Kevin to see if he could help me fix my unit at home. Told him someone had checked it out but never returned and his only response was why can't he come back and fix it. Don't you got his number? Never heard of someone turning down business. What a shame!
Kevin was absolutely amazing. He was on time (actually early), very professional, great work ethic, very respectful of our home, and super diligent in his work. He did a great job and we will be using him again for electrical services. God bless.

Apologize in advance for the long read. Just want to list everything that I experienced with Kevin. On 8/17/17, I called Kevin out for an A/C issue. He was courteous and prompt with his said arrival time. He spent about 45 min to an hour spraying my air conditioner and cleaning it. Granted, it probably could of used it but that certainly wasn't the cause of the issue. He then checked refrigerant pressure and some other troubleshooting. He discovered the compressor was not kicking on with the unit and ended up installing a booster to help kick it on. This solved the issue. Total time was just over 2 hours. Charge for the service was $295. To be fair to him, I did not ask what his service charge was. My mistake. I asked him for a breakdown on the invoice so I could see what I was being charged for. He stated that $195 of it was for the service call, $30 for the part and the $70 for the install. I thought the service call was high compared to AC companies I've used in the past (this was also during normal business hours and not in the evening or weekend) but since I didn't ask in advance, paid the bill.
Today I called him again under the guise of another customer needing help but this time asked about his service call charge. Yes, I know it's deceiving but had a hunch that he marked up his services based off of where I live. He told me that he did not charge a service call, would determine what the issue is and then tell me what it would cost to repair. None of which happened on my call. At this point I broke character and stated he had did some work for me but did charge me a service call and that it was itemized on the invoice as a service call fee. After some heated conversation, we hung up and I started writing this review.
I decided to call him back and apologize for my actions and deceiving him. I explained why I did it and asked him to see my point of view. I respect that he's trying to run a business and make a living but I think it should be honest. I then asked if he would be willing to meet in the middle somewhere and make it right. He proceeded to tell me how hard it is to run a business, that I had no idea what it takes and that if I didn't like his services or his prices, I didn't have to use him. All of which are very true.
Just a warning for anyone that is going to use him in the future. Ask for specifics before he comes out. I should of asked when I initially called and I didn't. That's on me.

Kevin was very helpful!! This is the company to call. He was honest and very thorough with explaining what was wrong with our upstairs unit. He could've gone ahead and done more expensive work, but he suggested going basic first and seeing if that would fix our problem. Thank you Kevin for showing that there are still great people left in your industry! Will definitely refer everyone we know!
After 2 visits from a different AC company, we were still sleeping in an 85 degree house! Kevin came in (same day) and went to work. Apparently my unit outside was filthy and the other guy just didn't want to do the work. After about an hour of serious cleaning out in 100 degree weather Kevin was a sweaty mess but the AC was blowing again. After 3 lbs of freon it was blowing ice cold. Life is good now and I'm also very happy with the price which I won't quote because I can't imagine its that cheap for everyone.

Thank you fellow Yelpers for recommending Texas Star Services! Based on Yelp I contacted Kevin when our A/C went out in 110 degree heat. Kevin responded immediately and worked us into his busy schedule and stayed until he got our A/C up and running. We just moved here a month ago and Kevin took the time to educate us about our HVAC systems and helpful tips to keep them running smoothly. Kevin was affordable, kind, and super knowledgeable and we are appreciative, happy customers.

I recommend Texas Star Services. I had a problem with my washing machine that the appliance repairman said was caused by my freezer drawing too much power on the same outlet and that an electrician needed to address the outlet and panel. After checking it out, Kevin determined there was a very minor variance but wasn't enough of an issue to cause the described problem since no breakers had tripped. He recommended I bite the bullet and replace the 21-year old washer and freezer.
Update: I lowered the rating from 5 stars to 4 because I called the electrician to update the panel to handle the washer and freezer; his answer that they weren't energy efficient may have been true, but buying new appliances is a decision I should be able to make with an estimate in hand for the electrical work. The washer repair guy came out one more time to get the washer working again, but now I just have an unplugged freezer.
Kevin did an outstanding job. I had to wire up a barn with a light and two outlets way out in the country. Kevin drove a long way (outside of his normal service area) to make it happen. Kevin did a great job. I would highly recommend you call him. He also does heating and air conditioning by the way.
Kevin was awesome! After our A/C unit stopped working and the temps still in the 90's we need help fast. He kept me updated on his arrival time, was very nice, explained things thoroughly, and quickly got our unit up and running again!!
Great guy to work with. High quality work with good price. Highly recommended. The lights that bay area electric worked eight years ago, still stands. Will refer my friends .
I asked Kevin to come to my house today and do an estimate on taking a pot rack light fixture above my cooktop out and putting in recessed lighting. He could've said ok let's do it but he pointed out that it wouldn't look good. He could've taken my money and done the job but instead he was honest. He also fixed my a/c . Fee was probably average, and showed me how to clean it for better maintenance. Would definitely use him again!

Kevin showed up within an hour of my call late on a Saturday afternoon. He is a good problem solver and was able to resolve my circuit breaker problem quickly and charges a reasonable price. I will definitely use him again for my future electrical needs.

Kevin is a good, honest, and hardworking electrician. I am glad I hired him to upgrade my main panel and subpanel. He made one minor mistake, which the inspector found. But he came out the next day to correct it. He even replaced the drywall and repaired the stucco that he cut. Most electricians will not do that. I recommend him and would certainly hire him again.
Kevin was able to respond quickly and was able to install a 220v outlet in my garage so I can charge my electric car. He did a great job with the installation and got the job done fast.

We had a problem with our AC. We called Kevin to take care of it, he came as scheduled took the part over the weekend and replaced it with a new one, AC works perfect now, thanks to Kevin, reasonable prices, lower than most competitors.
Will defiantly use him again
Called Kevin on a Saturday because the automatic light in our food pantry had shorted out and there was an awful burning smell. It also kicked off the power that ran to the kitchen and would not flip back on. Kevin was very nice and arrived within 2 hours. The ballast was bad and we needed a new light. Kevin purchased a new LED fixture for us, tweaked it so that it fit with no exposed holes in the ceiling, cleaned up every speck of mess, and was on his way. His charge was extremely reasonable especially considering the weekend call. We asked for extra business cards so that we can refer him to our friends. Job extremely well done!!!!
