Electrical reviews in Austin, Texas

I honestly refuse to believe majority of these reviews are from people who actually used this company for work.
I’ve had four different friends try working with them and we’ve all had different yet painfully terrible experiences.

First off, I made an apt a week in advance and let the front office know two different times that they’d need two people to come to my home to assist with taking off and putting back on my 75inch frame tv. All I needed was an outlet installed. The guy came, by himself, and said he saw the note to bring a second person but they are short staffed.
So he arrived and wasted both of our time? Oh but he made sure to say I wouldn’t be charged for the visit. Obviously, if you’re arriving and can’t do anything for me, why would I pay you anything?

Given I couldn’t utilize him as he could barely hold half of the large tv himself, I decided to see about quoting me for other light work around the house.
And by light work I’m talking about changing out ceiling fans, adding light fixtures (that already had electrical included), and under cabinet lighting installation which is probably the most extensive of all the little things I asked for.
The guy emailed me a quote for over $12K.. I literally laughed OUT loud.
Not only did they arrive unprepared and knowingly, but then tried price gouging me. Good luck to anyone who chooses to go with this company.

When our neighbor’s tree came down, it yanked the city electrical lines partially out of our house. Austin Energy shut off our power immediately, requiring repairs before it could be restored. Losing electricity—and air conditioning—in the middle of an Austin summer meant we needed a solution fast.

Randy at Malco Electric quickly assessed the situation and noted the large oak beside our house would continue to pose problems. He outlined three possible solutions, the most practical being to relocate the electric boxes from the side of the house to the front, away from the tree.

By the very next day, Randy had secured City approval for his plan, and the following day he had everything fully restored. We couldn’t be happier with the work—his quick thinking and efficient execution got our electricity and AC back online without delay.

Super easy and quick to get service booked. Extremely knowledgeable and just overall nice guys. They ended up needing to get into my attic (which is a very tight squeeze and not fun at all) and they didn’t complain once. They were also really nice to my dogs so that’s a bonus :). Will definitely use Malco again in the future!

We have been using Malco Electric several times over the last 8 years and have always been satisfied with their work. Most recently they installed outlets required by a stairlift installation. The home is an older home and presented a few challenges that Malco was effective in resolving. We will definitely be using them again.

I've been using Malco Electric for years now and they never let me down. They show up when they say they will, bring the things they need to do the job, and do the work efficiently and pleasantly.

Recently we had them out to help us force our elevator company to do the work they didnt want to do to get our elevator working. Elevator company kept showing up and claiming it wasn't their problem, that we needed to fix something on our end. It was a delight watching some real professionals educate a bunch of dopes about how electricity works.

Five stars. Will always call again.

After a tree took out my power line, Malco owner Randy Mallory visited (in the rain) to determine how to repair my home electric. He is extremely experienced: he knew what was needed and how to accurately describe it in a bid that was understood - and accepted - by my insurance. I needed an entirely new system: a pole installed from the roof, a ground for the power, new electrical boxes outside and inside the house, plus a heavier drop line from the City. Randy knows City of Austin requirements: there were no surprises during install or for the inspection. In addition to the repair, I asked to add a 4-prong, 30-amp line for a new electric dryer. The system that Randy created is expandable for future upgrades, such as a plug for an electric vehicle. The Malco crew did a fantastic job with the entire install -- they excel as a professional team. Malco Electric has made my home safer and added to its value. I am grateful for the care they took to bring my electrical system into compliance with the City.

A C Electric was great. They fixed everything Uncle Bob's Body Shop should have fixed

Great job, arrived when promised and did the work very well, highly recommend.

Great crew. Willing to do whatever you ask. Charge is typical for Master Electricians.

Best Electrician I've used in the last 7 years.

Knows his stuff, great service. Call Mike when you have electrical problems.
Very fair pricing !

We had the company install landscape lighting which was worked well. There was one problem and they came out immediately and fixed the problem. I would use them again.

AC Electric is super. I needed a circuit breaker replaced for my AC compressor. Mike Short showed up after closing hours and had it installed in a few minutes.

I have used AC Electric at my home and at a couple of rental properties, and every time they are excellent. I recommend them whenever my friends or colleagues ask.

great team, mike is a pro

The Master Electricians of AC Electric are competent, capable and honest. Always doing a great job that you can count on with excellent skill.

AC Electric has assisted me with electrical repairs to properties in my management portfolio. Punctual, professional service for a fair price is what makes AC Electric a great choice for your electrical needs.

They came out in one day and installed an EV charger for me. Fast, professional and reliable. Will use them again!

From the first phone contact through a several day job, the AC folks were friendly, knowledgeable, & got the job done! I highly recommend their work.

Simply put, these are the guys you want working on your electric. Knowledgeable, honest, and reasonably priced.

AC Electric did another fantastic job for us! All installed and inspection approved! Thanks Mike. We appreciate your team's hard work.
