Reviews of local pros in Lockhart, Texas

I highly recommend James B. from Shirley Electric Company! James responded in a timely manner. He listened carefully to my concerns, determined what needed to be done, and then persevered to complete a complicated job. He tested his work, cleaned the work area—even patched and painted! I am extremely pleased with his work. If you need an electrician, James from Shirley Electric Company is the gentleman you need!!!

We had a great experience with these folks! After a power failure overnight in our recently purchased old home, with the outside temp rapidly headed to 104+, I was panicked about getting good help and fast. I posted on a local community page for recommendations and one of their techs, James, suggested I try Shirley Electric. I gave them a call as soon as they opened & they fit me in (on a Friday!) at 11. James was actually able to arrive even earlier at 10. He was courteous, professional, and very easy going about me hovering and asking many, many questions. (If I'm going to be a knowledgeable homeowner, I want to know the nitty-gritty details!) I appreciate how straightforward he was about what *had* to be fixed now, and what could wait and for how long. He gave me a number of helpful tips for things to prepare for considering the age of our electrical systems. Our power was back after some quick diagnosis and repair of our breaker conduit. Even with the need to call in the city for the transformer end of things, James made everything happen quickly, while still keeping me informed. Shirley Electric has my business when we're ready for the next stage of fixing up the electrical at this old house!

Mid-March 2024 was my first time to hire Shirley Electric. I'm very glad I did. James is great to work with. He's punctual, he's great with follow-up, he comes in and gets the work done. He's very friendly, but he's there to work and not to chit-chat. I've scheduled him again for June.

James was very professional and explained everything to me. He was able to install the surge protector same day. Explained all the warranties. Would highly recommend him and Shirley Electric Company to anyone in the area.

I asked them to come out, inspect our equipment, write up an estimate and replace outdated equipment. The did the initial inspection and ghosted after receiving payment. We have emailed and called. They say they will get back to us but never do. From July 22nd to August 16th and still not a peep.

We had an issue with our breaker tripping constantly. I called several places with no call back except for Shirley Electric. They got back to us in a timely manner and set up an appointment that same call. We really appreciated the level of knowledge, patience and professionalism of our electrician who was sent to us. James is the best and will definitely ask for him in the future.

James Bliss of Shirley was a real treat to meet. As a coastal realtor, I have seen some strange electrical boxes, James has seen it all. His local knowledge and electrical expertise really helped me in making a decision to move forward with a potential house purchase. The trip charge is worth every penny - I think he will deduct it from any work you may contract. I really appreciated him taking time to chat not just about electrical systems, but also about some uniquely Lockhart lore. 100% recommend Shirley Electric :)

I had an electrician come out back in May and we spent over an hour going over a walk through and inspection on things that needed to be done. They said they’d provide a quote within a week and that never happened I called in July to see what had happened and they said they’d check on it then called again in August and they said the same thing but no one ever returned my call or gave us any updated quotes or services. We’ve needed hour electric fixed for months and they wasted our time.

They were very professional and understood the extra work I also had in mind.
The job was very well done.

James was awesome. We will use him and Shirley Electric for all our electrical needs.

Quick service, very professional and not expensive! I highly recommend!

I called Mr Bliss to deal with an issue I was having with my service panel. He came over promptly and quickly identified the problem and thoroughly explained what he would have to do to fix it. When he came to work on the issue a day later, he showed up exactly when he said he would and completed the job in the time frame he initially estimated. He also has a good working relationship with the City, so when it was time to have power restored it was taken care of promptly. Would highly recommend.

James was AWESOME! He explained everything and kept me informed during the entire process. He also alerted me to something that could potentially be an issue in the future, which I really appreciated. If you want your electrical issue resolved respectfully and correctly, call James at Shirley Electric--he'll do it right!!

Had Shirley Electric come out to my store Pizza Hut in Luling for an emergent situation regarding our oven & replacement of outlets. Service was relatively fast, efficient with great customer service.

Shirley Electric did a great job for us at a rental property. The tenant had an issue and I called for service. The scheduling was easy and they showed up on time and took care of the issue. It was an easy process and will use Shirley Electric again in the future.

Shirley Electric is FABULOUS! Both times I have called them, James Bliss came exactly on schedule. He is SO knowledgeable, and always delivers superior service. If you need an electrician for any reason, I highly HIGHLY recommend Shirley Electric!!

Picture this it was the night before Thanksgiving and your wife breaks the oven leaving you stranded.

So we bought a new oven but little did we know we needed an electrician to Install the power cord.

That’s when we called Shirley electric.

They came right away! And fixed the problem in little less than an hour.

Friendly demeanor, and professionalism Was so refreshing

I would absolutely call them again for my electrical needs

James, our technician, is punctual, hardworking and professional. He is also pleasant to visit with and very patient with ignorant homeowners such as myself. I would recommend Shirley Electric to anyone including my friends and family.

Such fast service! James knew what he was up against, explained everything quite clearly, got a new main breaker installed so that I was no longer suffering power outages in my house. I can now use all my rooms and appliances with ease of mind. He even upgraded the lines from meter to breaker from aluminum to copper. The cost was less than AI had suggested I might pay, definitely a bargain.

James came out and gave me a price to run a 220 line to my hot tub. We agreed on the price and he said he could do the work early the next week. James came when he said he would and completed the project in 5-1/2 hours. Very good communications. I’m very satisfied with the work and highly recommend this company.

Always on time and able to take care of my plumbing problem.
