Needed new smoke alarms installed & hard wired; replace a ceiling fan, troubleshoot the blowing fuse in a bedroom & fix the light on the range hood. I appreciated William's flexibility with my changing schedule & was comfortable with leaving him to work in my house alone when I had to leave. In terms of value the price seemed a little high, but i truly don't know if it was since I didnt want to shop around. I believe I worked with him decades ago and knew he would be knowledgeable & fair. read more

Update to my previous review. After my initial difficulty in connecting with Duhon was sorted out, we set a firm date to get things done. Their crew of three showed up at 9:00 AM and were through with everything before noon. I have lights at my side door for the first time in ten years, I have a place to plug in the electric mower and power tools that's outside the house, and my bathroom has an electric outlet for the first time in its life. The crew cleaned up after themselves well, so I didn't have to spend an hour sweeping and vacuuming debris. The final invoice hasn't arrived yet, but the prices given in the estimate were fair enough. I'm still holding back a star because of the initial communications thing, but I'm well pleased in the end and I'd use Duhon again. read more

Excellent service!!! We called this morning to schedule service. Damian came this afternoon (same day!) and fixed the problem in nothing flat! We couldn't be happier with Duhon. They will be our first choice next time we need electrical service. read more

Yelp Review #400 Me: "Hello? Duhon Electric? I need help with a few outdoor circuits. You see there is this really large crow I need to grill for supper..." Mr. Duhon came out today after lunch to repair three outdoor circuits that had failed. Prior to his service call, we worked through e-mail to identify the likely cause of the problem and come up with a parts list. He called an hour in advance of his arrival and arrived precisely when he said he would. Since I did the shopping, we first reviewed the parts to ensure I had everything he would need. Then he got right to work. Along the way he told me what caused the problem, what he was doing to prevent a recurrence, and what maintenance and repairs would likely be needed in the future. In under an hour, he finished refurbishing and testing the four circuits and installing new code compliant covers. He then fastidiously cleaned up all of the boxes, bits, and pieces from the surgical field--my yard. Other than for the new look of the installation, you'd never know he'd been there. It's a done deal. Duhon is now my new "go to" for electrical services in Austin. Thanks to Elite Yelpers Jill S. and Kat F. for their reviews that led to this positive conclusion. And special thanks to Mr. Duhon for making time for me in the midst of his very busy schedule this holiday season. read more

William came by today to install several lights to highlight some paintings in our home and refit some old can lights in the kitchen. He brought his crew, Ben and Raoul to assist in this project. They did the job efficiently and with great fan fare. The banter was hilarious as was the fact that Raoul didn't like anchovies on pizza. Ben, who I think is 9yrs old, was a budding apprentice and was polite when he addressed me. After everything was installed, the lights didn't work. I blame this on Raoul who blamed it on Ben, who intern held William accountable, but after awhile, we realized it was actually my fault for wanting new lights in the kitchen in the first place. This is how the day progressed, it was fun and the job was completed on time and in the manner I wished it to be. With that in mind I would say todays experience was excellent, marvelous, magnificent, superb, fine, wonderful, superlative, exceptional, first-class, first-rate; informal, great, terrific, tremendous, super, amazing, fantastic, sensational, fabulous, ace, neat, killer, crack, A1, awesome, bang-up, skookum, out of this world; smashing, brilliant, remarkable, extraordinary, exceptional, striking, eye-catching, arresting, impressive, distinctive, unforgettable, memorable, special, momentous, significant, notable, noteworthy and generally William is an all around good guy. read more

Poor communication and follow up. I had to chase them for a quote and follow up again and again. Perhaps business is so good that service doesn't matter. Big thumbs down!!! If you have a small project, find someone who cares. They want to present themselves as the local Austin guy- sorry that isn't this company. Move on read more

I'm really perplexed why they show 4.5 stars. They are unresponsive. I spoke to someone briefly and they asked me to text them my information and they'd get back to me with a time for an estimate. That's not happened. A simple reply. I would use someone to do work who is reliable. After reading the reviews further, it looks like being unresponsive is a common trend with this company. Also William seems to have a lot of excuses in his replies. Be sure to read beyond all the 5 star ratings. read more

I'm not sure what happened since my first review, but my opinion of this business has totally changed. It seems like they have too much business and not enough staff to handle the workload. The owner, Mr. Duhon, personally came out to give me an estimate. He didn't write anything down so I wondered how he was going to remember everything in order to give me an accurate estimate of the work to be done. I was expecting to receive the estimate either that night or the next day. A few days went by and then a week and still nothing. I sent him a message asking for the estimate since I had already contacted another electrician for an estimate as well. Mr. Duhon advised me that he would have the estimate for me by the next day. Well, that was about two weeks ago and I never received it. What a waste of my time. Needless to say, I went with Max Electric for my several thousand dollars' worth of electrical work. read more

I called Mr. Duhon about a month ago for help with a GFI that wasn't working and he helped me over the phone, free of charge. Today I need an electrician for a much bigger problem, so guess who I will use, and this time he will get paid! Thanks Mr. Duhon! read more

This may possibly be the best dealing I've ever had with a tradesman! I needed an electrician to do a minor job on a house that is for sale and about to close and I needed it done fairly quickly. I regular electrician was too busy. Due to all of the good reviews on yelp I requested a quote, explaining exactly what I needed done. William got back to me within an hour, I believe, with a quote and let me know when he could do it. The price was very fair and he came out the very next day! He gave me a 45 minute notice of his arrival, like he said he would, and he arrived on time. William was very responsive, prompt, competent and quick and best of all his prices were not outrageous. I will definitely use William again for any electrical needs that I may have as well as recommend him to my family and friends. He truly earned my business. read more

We've used Duhon a few times and they've been great to work with every time. We had can lights installed in our living room, and we changed a bunch of ceiling lights around between rooms. These guys were responsive, on time, super savvy, and they raised a lot of good points I hadn't considered. They did great work both times. When I had a question about the kind of lights they installed for us because a friend wanted to put some in, they promptly emailed me back to answer my question, even though it wouldn't result in a paying job. I really appreciated that, too. Highly recommend. read more

Local Austin electricians with the experience and expertise that I was looking for. They installed 5 exterior lights (on brick) and moved some outlets for us. They are friendly and knowledgeable and do excellent work. They had to run some wires through the garage and they made it look neat and clean. They do what they promise. Highly recommended! read more

I made a phone call around 9 pm and electrician was nice enough to help me over the phone. GFCI was lit on outlet and it reset the two outlets in the house. Free advice is a wonderful thing. Thank you. I will use your services in the near future and recommend your company. - Robert H. Austin, TX read more

Damien at Duhon Electric is great. He's thoughtful and considerate, punctual and prompt. I've used him many times and referred him to lots of people. He's a good guy. Kent Samuelson, President Lightcrafters, Inc Austin, TX read more

I am a big fan of supporting small businesses where I live. I find that not only are the folks more grateful for the business but they tend to have more experience and do a better job. Due to my limited schedule we had to set an appointment a week and a half out to take care of some small problems I had with 3 light switches in the house. William came over this morning and fixed everything in about 30 minutes. A huge relief as my wife has been bugging me to take care of these problems for months. Everything is working great, will be able to dim the lights in the baby room without blowing the breaker at last. Quick work, fair prices and William is a great guy. We joked around a bit, which is always a plus with me. Just the kind of hard working small business that do a great job that I want to support. Great job. I'll be calling again when I need them! read more

I had Duhon Electric out to my house many months ago to install 4" canned lights in my kitchen and living room. These guys installed 16 lights, wired and installed under cabinet lighting in my kitchen, crawled through my 1950's ranch style attic to run the wires and did an incredible job! They both are extremly nice and professional to work with and gave us a great price to install all the items we wanted. They worked with us on the location of the lights and made suggestions that we listened to. We have had them out a couple of times since the big light install for smaller items and they always come quickly (even the same day sometimes - during lunch) and take care of us. It is nice to have a great and reliable electrician that you know you can trust to do the job right. read more

These guys are solid. I can't recommend them highly enough. I had a fair amount of work done in my place. New breaker box, additional circuits added, some crazy wiring in my attic that needed attention, recess lighting install, ceiling fan relocation, and GFI outlets. They worked fast, were incredibly clean, and the estimate was spot on. Keep in mind that their good reviews have them quite busy, so if you can plan out a bit you'll get prompt superior service with little to no surprises. I will uses these guys again, no problem. read more

I had a nagging electrical outlet issue caused by an unwelcome rodent. Being a tinkerer, I tried to replace it, took a nasty shock and then decided it was over my head. I called Duhon(and I can't remember who came out) and not only did he analyze it, then fix it, but he gave me a brief lesson in home electricity and what I would need to do for some of the other plans I had mentioned. Of course, some of these plans are far beyond my capabilities, so now I'm glad to have a go-to electrician. read more

initial appointment scheduled was missed; i did not receive a call nor any emails. Naturally i was a little disappointed given the ratings were all perfect. The following morning though, William called back and apologized for missing the appointment and made known to me that he was involved in an auto accident of the minor kind of course; he offered to come that very afternoon and was on time. Very polite and easy to talk to and had the range plug changed to a dryer plug(what i requested) in a matter of minutes. Having someone who is professional but also friendly and easy to talk to goes a long way when you invite strangers into your home. Would recommend. read more

Damien and his partner at Duhon Electric did a fantasic job putting in an outlet behind our wall mounted tv and an undercabebt light for me. Everything about the service was top notch and I'd use them again in a heartbeat Promptly returned my calls Easy to work with Reasonable prices Did quality work Thanks again Damien! read more

Damion stopped by our place for all of the 5 minutes it took him to tell the DIY amateurs what we'd done wrong. He was polite and didn't make us feel any stupider than we already were - even when we called him back, and then called him 10 seconds later to tell him never mind. The next time we have an electrical problem, we'll call Duhon for courteous service and so that we can give them some money for their trouble. Thanks again Damion! read more

They did a great job running conduit to a new exterior plug. Some folks don't pay attention to the aesthetic details but they did and I really appreciated it. read more

Damien and Raul did a great job with our light fixture. And made sure that it was evenly spaced out and looked symmetrical. read more

Duhon Electric - Electricians Near Me - Austin, Texas

1) he scheduled a weekend call 2)watching him work its clear not only that he knows his business but is really really good at it. I've had two other electricians over for other things in other units in the past three months and they were just diddling around by comparison . he came.. he saw, he fixed the problems .. all of them and then wore his white hat into the sunset. I will not be calling other electricians after this. Hes got all my business. read more

Duhon did a great job installing recessed lights for us. I can't believe what an improvement the lights made for us.

Exceptional electricians who are exceptional at troubleshooting difficult electrical problems. Every job that they have done for me has been clean. read more

I've had these guys come out and do a number of things (big and small) on my house and they have always been on time, affordable and extremely professional. They've helped me with last minute construction issues, emergencies, and most recently replaced my entire electric panel. When they bid out my electric panel, I didn't even compare bids with other electricians because I wanted them to them to do the work. I've seen nothing but fantastic electrical work from them and look forward to using them again when I have some sconces installed. It is so nice to have reliable electricians in your toolbox. Search no more! read more

After trying to get ahold of several different electrical companies, Duhon was the first to respond and honest on when they can come out. William showed up on time, provided me with honest feedback, and did not charge me since he could not get the job done. In addition, he gave me free estimates for an electrical dryer plug and the cost of installing my new fan. I haven't seen his work, so I'm only giving him four stars because of that. I am scheduling him to do a few things around the house, so once I get that done I will update. read more

So I'm giving 5 stars to a company who actually didn't do any work on my house. Why? Because I can replace outlets myself. But, when the breaker is off, but my pen-style volt meter is telling me there is still electricity flowing, I get a bit concerned. I called Duhon to ask if it is something I was concerned about. The person who answered let me explain my situation, diagnosed the problem, DIDN'T TRY TO SELL ME ANYTHING, and was very courteous towards someone who was basically asking for free advice. Based on this alone, I would recommend these folks. Combined with their other reviews, I think it's a no-brainer. Thanks Duhon! read more

Called Duhon Electric because of an issue with an outlet on the exterior of my house. They stopped by and fixed the problem in 5 minutes. Turns out it was an issue with a GFI switch under our carport. I would have never figured that out haha. Damian was super cool, didn't even charge me for the visit. I was blown away. Will definitely use them for more extensive electrical work in the future. read more

Well, seeing same issue as Kat F. Have used in the past (years ago) with solid work but just recently it's been late responses to emails and a couple of no shows and so I'v given up and will take business elsewhere. read more

William did a great job installing my fans quickly, and he was pleasant to speak with.

William is competent, courteous and goes out of his way to get problems solved.

William installed a surge protected outlet and pulled network and hmdi cables for my wall mounted TV. He did a great job and charged me a fair price. I was very happy with the service. I will use him for all future electrical work. read more

The device is outstanding. I called with a problem that I wasn't sure how to handle and even though they don't deal with issues I was having they walked me through exactly what i should do. They were very friendly and very helpful. read more

Prompt and thoughtful. Really appreciate his quick response time.

Yelp did not let me down! After much procrastination because service calls are typically painful to schedule and expensive, I finally called Duhon Electric to get 3 lights repaired/installed. Yes, doing laundry by flashlight for 3 months :) William was friendly, responsive, prompt and Duhon was extremely resonably priced. He fixed 2 lights and installed a new dining room fixture and dimmer quickly. Duhon will be my go to place for all things electical! Thanks for the great work! read more

My experience with Duhon Electiric was totally positive. I was able to get in touch with them immediately and see them on the scheduled day. They arrived with a mask, spotted the problem immediately, charged accordingly, were friendly and easy to work with. I intend to use them next time I need electrical work. read more

Had a very minor request to get some ethernet drops to a few rooms. The quote received was very reasonable and when they arrived for the installation the drop was done in an hour. Great work and good people. Will recommend to everyone I know in the future. read more
