I walked out to leave today and the outlet in the garage looked as if it had twinkle lights plugged in, but nothing was plugged in. Needless to say my internal breaker flipped, especially considering it is Saturday. I flipped the plug breaker and came into start the dreaded hunt for an electrician that would show up on a Saturday, not be a troll and half, diagnosis, and fix the issue. I am beyond please to say Malco came through with flying colors! Voice mail had numbers for people to call in case of an emergency. Jimmie was listed first and he answered the phone on the first ring. Jimmie immediately alerted Cody, the person on call. Cody, called me within in minutes of me texting the address and he was here far sooner than I anticipated. All was fixed and my internal breaker has reset to resting peacefully in under 2 hours. Cody took the time to walk me through how he diagnosed and fixed the issue. He also took the time to talk to me about how to get ahead of potential electrical concerns on an aging house (38 going on 39 years old). Definitely one of those people who is enjoyable to talk to, no misogynistic overtones or condescending attitude. Thank you Malco, Jimmie, & Cody! You saved my weekend and likely my house from burning to the ground. read more

These guys are wonderful and if you don't use them, you must have onion soup for brains. That pretty much sums it up. We got tired of waiting for Malco, so we hooked up with an electrician "based in Houston", who provided us with an amazing amount of misinformation. We ate some humble pie and called Randy. He found a way to fit us in and did the job quickly and perfectly. read more

Outstanding work by the two electricians who came to resolve several electrical problems in my new condo. Jimmie and Austin were true professionals, checking out not only the problems I reported, but also looking to make sure that everything in my home was up to code and well-maintained. Beyond the work on my electrical panel, they fixed an issue with the outlet and plug for my dryer, labeled my electrical panel switches, and fixed a computer issue with a refrigerator. I want to especially note how kind and patient they both were, listening to my concerns and checking carefully to make sure all the issues I worried about were resolved. They asked me more than once if there was anything else I needed. Five star workmanship and A+ service!! read more

Worked with Jimmie on a job and he's a committed professional and his follow-through is well appreciated. I would definitely use this company again! read more

Jimmie and Greg were so great to work with. Prompt, respectful, and best of all, did not try to talk me into unnecessary repairs/work. They were honest and saved me money. Finally found an electrician company that I will use all the time. read more

So impressed with Malco Electric. They are responsive, friendly, reasonable, kind, and their work is excellent. I felt like I was working with highly skilled people who cared about me. That is rare these days. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Expensive, but efficient and reliable. They were dispatched within an hour of my calling and fixed my sub panel breaker issue in under an hour. A journeyman and an apprentice arrived, and you pay for both of their time. I don't think I needed both, but it was an emergency and they were both easy to work with and again, reliable. Very glad I found them and would use them again! read more

I didn't end up using them due to scheduling conflicts but they were super friendly, competent, and responsive.

I'm a first time customer, and couldn't be more pleased! Juan replaced a switch that has been problematic for years, very neatly enlarging the wall opening (through both sheetrock and hardwood) to accommodate a new plastic box, eliminating the old metal one. Courteous, super prompt, kept me informed, etc etc etc... And the price was right! Having a safer home is my holiday present to me and my family! read more

DO NOT USE THEM! THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF! My tenant's electricity was out, and I found Malco on Yelp. I appreciated that they got me a same day appointment, and the front desk was very nice. What got me angry was how the Malco tech charged me close to $500 for doing literally nothing. The Malco tech named Andrew called me after being in the home a few mins, and said he wasn't able to fix the problem because there was a lock that only the City of Austin could unlock. Coincidentally, the City of Austin tech was on- site fixing another unit's electricity, and he ended up turning my unit's electricity on also. The Malco tech's response for the nearly $500 charge: I spent time driving to the home, spent time walking up 5 flights of stairs because elevators were inoperable at that time, and I spent time talking to the City of Austin guy. He didn't do a single thing to the home, but said that was the fees set by management. I've been a homeowner and landlord for 20 years, live in the Bay Area where services and labor are expensive, and I've been charged at most $175 for a visit charge. Malco didn't physically do anything to fix the problem, but apparently gas, some exercise up and down the stairs, and a quick conversation with City of Austin would cost you $500. Even my tenant whom I never met, said they shouldn't charge me anything because Malco was in the home for 10 mins and didn't do anything! I have never written a bad review, but I want to prevent others from making the same mistake I did by calling Malco. They are rude, unprofessional, and will try to rip you off! Stay away from them! read more

Malco Electric - Electricians Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've had Malco Electric come out twice for my home I just bought this year and I've been very pleased with their services! Both times they were able to schedule me quickly. The electricians were always super nice and I think their services were fairly priced. Thanks y'all! read more

Andrew & Theo were amazing! Speedy quick, super patient, and friendly. Needed for smoke detector install (high ceilings). Wore masks in accordance with guidelines. Will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you :) read more

I was experiencing electrical issues with my pool equipment and my pool service company told me lead times were 8 weeks. Greg spent time on the phone understanding the problem. Greg and Jimmy then came by same day and resolved the issue. Amazing service! They will be my go to for any and all electrical needs. read more

Great job by Randy, Barry and their team in replacing our 1960s Federal Electric breaker boxes. Randy gave a fast, friendly, and accurate estimate and organized the job. Even when things got complicated by the Corona outbreak, he communicated and broke the job into two separate jobs to maximize safety and efficiency. On the big day of the exterior switch out, his team was ready and able to complete the job quicker than we expected. Inspected and certified, we are good to go. Malco is our new go to electricians! read more

Malco Electric - New and upgraded 200amp exterior supply panel. - Electricians Near Me - Austin, Texas

Malco recently replaced the electric service panel in my 70 year old home. I had been having intermittent power fluctuations which the city of Austin determined wasn't on the line. Randy was able to assess the problem and the work was scheduled. There is quite a bit of coordinating to be done with the city - power cut off and then inspection of the work. The city unfortunately fumbled on this, but Randy and his crew were professional and polite. The city finally came through and the work was done. Power! I will be calling them to add a couple of outlets and switch out a fixture. So good to have found a local small business! I recommend without hesitation. read more

Jimmy was incredibly responsive, and after listening to what we wanted done, he told me he had the "perfect guy." He was right. Chris came and worked incredibly hard. He was efficient with his time, patient with his assistant and myself, creative with his problem solving, and great vibe to be around. I felt he went above and beyond, and really listened to what we wanted to do. I will absolutely contact and hire him again for our next project! read more

Best electric company in austin! Responsive, fast and affordable! The men go over and beyond!

Chris at Malco Electric is the best....well worth the wait for an appointment. He is professional, very knowledgeable, punctual, and is a problem solver. He works with speed to keep bills reasonable.....does not overcharge. The office staff are friendly, efficient and keeps customers happy. I have used Malco Electric for over 20 years and they have been great in all respects. read more

Excellent service & response time. They will return after the holidays to perform more recommended work.

We had Malco Electric out to the house to replace a faulty breaker, install two dimmers, and troubleshoot an outdoor plug. The company is busy, but was able to get us on the schedule and it was well worth the wait. I forgot to write down the name of the electricians that came out (sorry). However, they both were professional, did a neat job and cleaned up afterward. We have a new grand baby and didn't want her to get exposed to the flu or any bugs...so both of the gentlemen wore mask while inside the house. This was very considerate and made us two very happy grandparents. The price was fair and we could not be happier. We would recommend this company and will have them out again when we have need of additional electrical services. read more

We were contacted by Austin Energy to hire an electrician to work on our meter, as it wasn't working properly and we had 14 days to fix the issue. Malco Electric worked with us to quickly send electricians to our house and look at the issue. When it was discovered that Austin Energy would need to also be dispatched and power to our house turned off, Malco Electric showed up twice to wait for Austin Energy. Today, for the third day in a row, they showed up early, called Austin Energy, fixed the issue very quickly and we were pleasantly surprised when they did not charge us for the other two times their electricians came to wait and Austin Energy did not show. We are so grateful to have this issue fixed quickly and easily. Thank you to Jimmie and Greg for all of their help and patience helping us resolve our issue. Will be using Malco Electric again! read more

Fast response, thorough, and worked through the issue quickly with clear explanations! Thanks guys.

I called Malco Electric Friday June 28th and I'm still waiting for my call back. I spoke to I believe Randy Mallory's wife who said he was out of town and would call me on Monday. Never received a call back so I tried to call again. I spoke to a man who said they were very busy but he would pass my information along and still I have not had a call back. I called Malco for a quote because of the yelp reviews and they promise a call back in 12 hours. At least you could have returned my second call and said you were too busy to help me. I won't be calling back again. read more

Be careful. These guys are a complete scam!!! Dont believe anything they say. Had an ice covered limb fall on my line to the house but we still had power to the house. Called them and they came out said they would have to rebuild everything and rattled off all these things I would have to have totaling over $7,000. They said if I signed the agreement right then, I would never be without power and they would have it done in one day. From what I was seeing I could not believe it was that expensive. I called a second company and they had a guy out this morning at 7am, (2-8-23). He looked at it and said it would be $1,500 and he could be done by noon. It is now 11:33am on the same day and he is all done and he called PEC and they already turned me on. Malco, Greg and Randy, will try to fool you with their "good ole boy" , "home town", "been here for ever" schpeel with self inflicted bad grammar & forced accents but dont be fooled. I certainly dont mind people making money, even slightly exploiting a crisis like this but to try to charge me over 500% than what it took is almost, if not, criminal. read more

Had a small, non-urgent job (single can light + new outlet install) and these guys were efficient, skilled, easy to schedule and reasonably priced. Would definitely call again! read more

Called Malco because we were having some issues with tripped outlets. Our house is older and we knew we needed some electrical work done. They sent Cody and he was fantastic. He checked everything and gave us multiple options of how to get the work done. Once agreed, he showed up on time and he came in even a little under the original quote! His work was great and ai will definitely be calling them if we need electrical work in the future! read more

Our AC system broke down Friday night due to a fizzled circuit breaker. This began a search for "weekend emergency" electric repair. One company would charge well over 300. for diagnosis and overtime, not including the actual repair cost and time. Two other companies wrote back to ask about repair, but did not say if they would be available to replace the breakers. Meanwhile the indoor temperature climbed to temperatures unmanageable by fans. Early Saturday I recommenced searching for an electrician. Seeing the excellent reviews for Malco I called. Their phone message gave three numbers for emergency calls; identifying Jimmy as first to call. Jimmy answered immediately and offered to send an electrician on Saturday. Jimmy gave Chris our information, who called ahead saying he would arrive at our house within an hour. His work was efficient and thorough. He tested the AC and Furnace breakers and said that only the AC breaker needed replacement. Based on this seamless excellent service experience, I will call Malco to schedule an estimate appointment for future electric repairs. Their response time, overall professionalism, and thoroughness brought great relief, and earned my trust. read more

Great company. Helped me with time crunch to install a dedicated circuit to fridge and added recessed lighting that was somewhat difficult as the wiring had to be incorporated with other fixtures. They were precise, professional, and cleaned up when finished. I like the fact they charged by the hour, fees were transparent and reasonable. I highly recommend. read more

I found Malco Electric online, and after reading the many positive reviews, I reached out for a consult with Jimmie, and scheduled an appointment for the Journeyman and Apprentice to come out and take care of the job. Loving the finished product! Everyone was professional and friendly, and really went the extra mile to make sure we were happy with the placement and overall job. Would recommend this company 100%! read more

Malco Electric was recommended to me by my plumber that I trust and respect as a professional. From the beginning of my communication with Malco employees they each exceeded my expectations by listening to my electrical issue affecting my washer & dryer and power outlets in my bathroom then accommodating my schedule and following up the day of my appointment to be efficient with my home repair. Josh is the Journeyman that came to repair a blown out electrical line in my breaker box and repair my GFI and other power outlet in my bathroom. He asked if I needed anything else and I received a quote for installation of a GFCI on my back porch. Finally he explained the itemized invoice ($200) for the work completed and emailed it to me. I highly recommend Malco Electric for their reasonable highly skilled professional service. They are a company you can trust and rely on. I will be using them again in the near future. Highest regards, Angelita read more

I bought 2 houses that both needed a major electrical overhaul (rewiring, new outlets, electrical box upgrades). Jimmy came out for initial inspection, and Cody Jemes was a total ROCK STAR electrician (did great work)! He helped me upgrade everything necessary for safety, and was super professional and helpful in explaining what/why the upgrades were needed. He works fast and was extremely thorough. I will definitely use Malco again! Thanks guys! read more

They installed a generator outlet for a backup generator I purchased. Fast, safe, good price. Will use again if I ever need an electrician.

What a great company! Victor came out to my house today and did a great job. He also took the extra time to educate me on some simple DIY maintenance around the house. Can't say enough good things about these guys. I called them yesterday with an emergency, and they were here first thing in the morning to help me out. read more

Victor and his helper Anthony did a wonderful job replacing electric outlets and light switches and covers in two separate rooms. They were efficient and thorough. Victor even cut and fit a light switch cover that did not otherwise fit the space. He did that without my even asking. And they checked before coming to be sure I had the parts I needed. This is the second time I have used Malco Electric and once again they went out of their way to help and fix what I needed. Thanks Malco - read more

I contacted Malco because our main/overhead kitchen lights went out. Chris arrived within a few hours. He provided great/friendly customer service, completed the job quickly, and even gave me a recommendation on how to remedy my flickering lights on my chandelier. I will definitely call these guys again for all my electrical issues! read more

I reached out to Malco Electric to make several corrections to a property I was flipping in Austin. The original contractors (not Malco) had left several wiring issues unresolved that were pointed out in the inspection by the buyer. I called Jimmie, and he quickly reviewed the inspection report and gave me his best guess estimate. (All I could ask for since they had not even seen the property.) He was honest and fair with his pricing. The guys were done a little early and used less wire than predicted, so was a little under the quote. Yeah! Truth be told, Jimmie, Greg and the tech Chris were reliable, very professional, courteous and on-time. The tech called me to update me on their progress. It was a two-day job and they were just fantastic to work with. I highly recommend Malco Electric to anyone who wants the job done right, on-time, and by honest professionals. I even had an issue with the connection point to the city line and Jimmie called Austin Energy on my behalf to resolve the issue. Thanks guys for the great service. See you on the next one! read more

What a relief to find these great guys! So responsive and timely. Contacted several other companies that wouldn't respond or touch our electrical problem that included dealing with the power company. Greg and Jimmie bent over backwards to get us fixed up and quick! So appreciative of their excellent service. Will definitely be calling them for any issues in the future. read more

Journeyman, Josh Schrock just left my house and I was extremely impressed with the service provided. Sadly, it's rare that you find honest, transparent people, that aren't trying to take advantage of you. I certainly recommend Josh and Malco Electric for any electrical services needed! Excellent customer service, fair prices, honest people! Thanks, Malco Electric!! read more

Malco was able to help me with triaging an issue over the phone to identify the problem. Turns out, there was an easy fix which didn't require them to come out. Appreciated the quick win and awesome service. read more

Apparently electricians are in very high demand in Austin! I called two other electricians before I found one who was able to help me connect my girlfriend's new WeMo light switch. The folks at Malco were very polite and managed to get someone out to my girlfriend's house quite quickly. The only reason why I reserved a star here is because it ended up taking two hours @$120/hr to connect the light switch, which seems, in my opinion, to be a lot of time to connect a light switch. But, apparently, it was a more difficult install than I had initially thought. I spoke with the owner, Randy, about it and he was very polite and professional. You can tell that he cares a great deal about the company and providing great customer service which is the type of company that I like to do business with. read more
