Responsive and on point! Called, they showed up on time. Took care of the issue. Followed up and followed through. Great and will definitely use again! read more

Honesty, communication, and being fair are three qualities I look for in working with companies to support our rental property, and I'm grateful to have found Luis at L&R Electrical to help us out when our brand-new (February) AC unit broke in the middle of the summer and tripped the breaker. Luis got out there ASAP to assess the situation and offered to help fix the disconnect and ensure that everything was turned back on safely once the replacement AC unit was installed (which happened today). What makes Luis's support and service stand out a bit more is that once he found out that our AC company repaired the disconnect and made sure everything was fully operational (he spoke with the technician over the phone), Luis called and said that he didn't need to come out (which means he didn't have to charge us $$$ again). Honesty and integrity - super valuable in this world. I won't hesitate to call L&R for support in the future! read more

We had a specific breaker issue (that had been already assessed by two companies). L & R came out quickly, re-assessed the situation, and discussed service options. They took payment on-site. The problem is that they never followed up about either of the service options or replied after attempts to reach out to them. So, essentially, we were back at square one, having paid for a service call, and only getting a re-assessment of the situation (which we didn't need). It seemed like they just wanted to earn the $180 service call, and walk away. read more

Our feed from the main line into the house had been severely damaged by a felled tree. L & R was the most reasonable bid among many ridiculously high ones. Louis (the "L" in "L & R") and his helper came out and repaired the "riser" and "weatherhead" *while it was raining*! They then went out of their way to fight the city bureaucracy and Austin Energy to get a quick inspection and a crew that hooked us up that night. I strongly recommend this very small business (the "R" in "L & R" is Louis's wife Rosalinda)! read more

L&R installed a PHEV car charger and generator inlet plug/lockout for me. They did a great job. The pricing was straight forward and the people were friendly. I would recommend them to a friend. read more

I found L&R Electrical Contractors on my online search to find someone to install 3 light fixtures, and I am so glad that I found Luis and his team! :) ' I live in California and was coordinating this last week for a house here in Bastrop .... so I really appreciate Luis and the excellent communication! I arrived last night, and this morning Paul and Stewart arrived on time bright and early.... and ready to work! They were really friendly and professional... so I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for a job well done (because as an executive assistant, I deal with alot of vendors, so I always appreciate great service!) I will be using L& R going forward, I'm really happy that I chose them.... and I think you will be too! read more

Rosalinda, the boss's wife just emailed me a copy of a really old invoice and then called me and accused me of not paying an invoice from work that was done a year and a half ago. I told her I pay all my bills immediately. She asked "well how did you pay us then?" I said "I don't remember". She has the audacity to reply with an attitude "You don't remember?" Like I am stupid or something for not remembering something that happened a year and a half ago! Do you remember what you ate for lunch 2 weeks ago? Exactly. Like it's my job to keep receipts for years and years and know off the top of my head how I paid every single vendor in the last two years. Word of advice if you use these people, make sure you pay them by check, and keep a copy of that check forever. Because Rosalinda may call you two to three years later talking 'bout "you owe us money!" And guess what? If you don't have proof you paid her she can easily put a lien on your house until you finally pay her for something you already paid her for. read more

It was easy to make a reservation, they arrived early, did the work efficiently, and the bill was reasonable. Everything you could want. Definitely would hire them again. read more

Louis was amazing. He responded quickly, offered a very fair price to troubleshoot and fix minor repair. He showed up when he said he would and conducted high quality work. And even better did it for the price he said he would. I will forever use him for all of my houses in Austin. read more

Had an excellent experience when the electrician showed up. He went above and beyond to make sure I understood the full extent of the repairs being made. I will definitely be using them for any other projects I have in the future. read more

Amazing job and even better customer experience! I used Yelp to ask for a quote to have a ceiling fan installed and a light fixture in our dining room. Louis responded within an hour and with a competitive quote which I really appreciated. In my experience other contractors try to come out to scope the project and then try a hard pressure sale on the spot in person. Louis sent a crew out the following day. They were very professional. I appreciate the care they took in taking their shoes off, and being careful moving ladders throughout the house. After they finished the job, they alerted me that the ceiling fan would need to be at an angle because of the pitch angle in my ceiling. So not parallel to the ground. I bought the wrong fan - this was totally on me. Louis' crew was very helpful to spring into action and explain to me a few options to fix it. That night I ran to Home Depot to buy a $10 adapter to fix it. Louis then offered to send his crew back the following day to fix it free of charge!! Blown away by this level of customer support ! Highly highly recommend!! read more

Very responsive, works fast, great quality, fair prices. I have found my new electrician in Austin. Thank you!

I am so so glad that we hired L&R electric. They came and installed three ceiling fans for us upstairs. When they went to install them none of them were up to code. Which isn't shocking because the previous owners of our home were do it themselves types of people and cut corners. With a new baby on the way having everything up to code was vital to me and I knew that the changes were made safely for our son. They also installed a generator outlet for us and new panel. This was so important to me because we went five days without water and power last year during the storm, and we will have a newborn during that time. They did an amazing job and the price was perfect. Of course there were some surprises, but they explained everything and were able to work with us on price the best they could. I will be hiring them for projects in the future! read more

After spending what felt like 4 years without leaving the house in 2020, we realized extra outlets would make things a lot easier on us. We wanted one outside, two in the garage and one in the living room to hide all the tv cords our quarantine puppy seems to love to chew on. We got a few quotes and out of all of them, we liked Luis's solutions the best. His pricing was really competitive and he was able to schedule us within the week. He finished the work today and so far, so good! We're planning on hiring him again to install landscape lighting. read more

The technicians arrived on time and were very friendly and informative. They provided some important information about our electrical service. Can recommend. read more

We had an issue that our normal electrician could not solve and Paul/Stewart came out, quickly diagnosed the issue and resolved with. All power on one of our breakers was out but the breaker was good. They tracked down the wiring issue and repaired it, restoring our power within an hour after being without it for 3 days. They were honest and extremely knowledgable. I will go back to L&R for all electrical needs moving forward. Thank you!! read more

These guys were great. They arrived on time and very efficient. Got 2 fans and a new vanity light installed. read more

I've used this family company twice now. They are reliable, professional, friendly, and very reasonably priced. What amazes me most, though, is a human being answered the phone at 7 am (weekday) when I expected to leave voicemail, and I had someone at my house by noon the same day. They do emergency work on weekends. read more

Did not show up at all for our set appointment. I would not hire someone unreliable, they may not finish the job once started and paid for.

I had a electrician out very quickly to give me a quote, high $300 to mid $400 for a new outlet for a welder. Once the official quote came in, it was actually in the high $300's... that made me happy. They were out the next day to install the outlet and did a good job. The tech did have to make a couple of trips to Home Depot for parts (he didn't come out in a company vehicle) and he did forget to seal the exterior opening... minus 1 star. But the price and turn around time negates those issues and I'm giving 5 stars for the price, quick scheduling and the actual outlet installation. I sealed the opening myself just out of convenience but they did offer to come back and do it. read more

I used L&R for the installation of a interlock kit, 50amp plug in outlet for my generator and added a main breaker switch at my outside box. L&R quoted me the best bid out of 3 total local electricians and the job was exactly what we needed. They even placed the plug directly next to our Natural gas outlet without charging extra for the custom placement vs just installing it right by the breaker box. Our whole home can now run effectively off our portable Natural Gas generator for the next inevitable winter power outage or summer rolling black outs. L&R is the only electrician I'll ever use again while living here in Kyle. read more

Absolutely class operation. Kind, responsive office team and great technicians. Thanks very much for the quality work at a great price!

Asked if I had electricity. I told them I did, so it wasn't an emergency, but they came out the same day I called. I had an entire circuit go out on my circa 70's house full of aluminum wiring. Luis showed up, went through the panel, then trouble shooting. I was prepared to upgrade panel or at least replace breaker in an old original panel. But Luis found it was a scorched receptacle that was the wrong type for aluminum wire, and incorrectly installed by my brother in-law. So that when it fried it took out the rest of the circuit. Found and fixed it all, in couple of hours, and charged me way less than I thought I was going to end up spending. I am getting an estimate from him to go ahead and upgrade panel, because I want to, not because he pressured me in any way. Easy to communicate with, and great work done in a very timely manner, for good price.... that's three outta three!! I have a trusted electrician in Austin now. Thanks Ya'll, L&R came through. read more

Hired them to fix a wall socket, install a bathroom light/fan, hookup a dishwasher electrically, install a kitchen sink light and will hire them for more. They are professional, timely, knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend them. read more

Quick to make it out to the call and techs were very knowledgeable on troubleshooting options.

Quick, knowledgeable and very friendly. They will definitely be my new go to electricians.

What an amazing company! I was thrilled with the response time, the technician, and Rosalinda who scheduled us so quickly. Our technician arrived earlier than expected and quickly identified the problem and fixed it as best he could (bad wiring.) We will absolutely hire them again - extremely impressed! read more

I needed an electrician to run & bury wire, about 100' worth, plus add some outlets for pumps, lights & etc. Yelp asked if I wanted to send the request for bids to multiple firms and I clicked "yes. " The bid went to five electrical contractors. The first to respond was L & R Electric, and they were available the next day, to assess the job and prep a bid. Out of 5, 1 firm never responded, two more made appointments and came to assess & bid. One guy was pure upsell, another was not highly experienced. But L & R showed up on time, was wearing a mask, was courteous, professional. Over the next couple of days, Louis was VERY communicative, sent me a bid, and came in under the other firms large and small. After awarding them the bid, two men came the next morning, got right after the job, and completed it the same day, cleaning up after themselves. Tino & Jerry were a great pair, friendly and very conscientious. Tino looked at the electrical panel & determined it was maxed out, & actually over-burdened. We decided it needed to be upgraded. This is not uncommon for a 37 year old house, so we approved the upgrade. All in all, it could not have gone any smoother, nor could everybody at L&R been any more pleasant to deal with than they were. I recommend them without any reservations. read more

Absolutely wonderful experience! They came out immediately to take a look at my project, provided me with an estimate and they scheduled me the next day. In addition to being quick and efficient, they took the time to explain some existing issues and correct them. I've already used them again on a small project and they will be my first call for any electrical needs!!! read more

I needed two ceiling fans and a light fixture installed, so I looked around on Yelp for licensed electrical contractors. L&R responded quickly to my request for an estimate and showed up promptly at the time promised. The price was great, and the electricians were very professional. I didn't anticipate one of the ceiling fans being so complicated to assemble, but the electricians put it together in a snap. I'll definitely be using L&R in the future. Thanks! read more

Super responsive and did everything right! Arrived on time and hung our two Jew light fixtures beautifully. One was a large chandelier that needed scaffolding to hang. I highly recommend L&R. read more

Showed up the next day, gave me an honest quote and even told me that my situation wasn't what all the others were telling me to do ($5000+) and he can fix it that next afternoon for $200!! Saved me so much time, money and I truly feel like he was looking out for my best interest. Honest electricians are truly what we need. I highly suggest using them if you want to have someone you can trust isn't up selling you! read more

I called and Louis came out on the same day. He was quick, efficient, kind, and did not take advantage of my lack of knowledge about electrical issues. I don't think I could have asked for a better experience. Thank you to you and your team. P. S. Also thank you for being respectful and asking to put on a mask and keep a distance. Wish I could give this company more than 5 stars. read more

Some outlets were popping the GFCI and tripping breakers in my kitchen. I wanted the problem solved quickly so I could proceed with a remodel already in progress. L&R responded through Yelp in literally 5 minutes and a technician was at my house for a free consultation about 30 min later. They quoted me a fair price and were able to return a couple of hours later that same day. Job was done in 40 min. Would definitely hire L&R again. read more

Great team (Louis and Rosalinda) and great service. Initial concerns leading to this particular call: *No power in one of our bathrooms *Non-responsive outdoor flood light *Dead (or sometimey) outlets in the kitchen and two other rooms * Overall electrical condition of our new, older, home I reached out and was scheduled by Mrs. Rosalinda quickly for my growing list of electrical concerns. It literally seemed like one thing after another was cutting off or going out: power inside, power outside, and no amount of flipping breakers was making a difference. Mr. Louis and assistant arrived, smiles on their masked faces (you can tell by the eyes) and immediately got to work. They checked for power all over the home, inside and out, and asked questions, which I like. They were thorough because even though the fancy current gadget showed power, they noticed our microwave failed to work in the same outlet. They did additional investigation, identified and and fixed the problem, once and for all. They also replaced a finnicky island outlet and replaced our kitchen ceiling bulbs which have been in disorder for some time. Mr. Louis went on to add that if any problems continued to occur, to not hesitate in calling back. Final diagnosis, the overall wiring in the home does not need to be replaced, but we would do well to swap out a few old surge protectors. So, without hesitation I'll continue to use and recommend L&R. They're the full package, reliable, responsive, honest and best of all, they know what they're doing. As I look at my service specialty list, I can say: "Electricians...check." read more

Great service , fast, and friendly. Would rehire and recommend to friends and family!

We've used L&R twice. Very responsive, reasonably priced, and did exactly what they said. It's nice to be able to count on them!

I hired L&R to hang two chandeliers in my home in October of 2020. Last month, the dining room chandelier unexpectedly fell from the ceiling (fortunately no one was hurt). I called ABC commercial to come out and assess and was told it appeared to not be properly braced to handle the weight of the fixture. I called L&R back and asked them to come assess the issue and potentially re-hang. They told me I would have to pay $625 to have them bring scaffolding or I would have to rent scaffolding and set it up myself given the height of my ceilings. I was told the technicians who hung it no longer work there and this would not be covered under warranty. I was told they would not cover the fix (partially or totally) because it could have been the builders fault installing a box that could not support the weight (although I would have expected the technicians to tell me that when they hung it). I will never use L&R electrical again, obviously. There is no embellishment or false reporting of what happened here. read more

So glad I hired L&R electric. I had a ceiling fan installed. They responded right away, gave me quote. They came out and completed the job right away. Very affordable will definitely recommend. read more
