I called TEC to do a number of minor electrical repairs and updates at an Austin home. Things like…read morereplacing light bulbs that were 10 feet high and out of my reach, replacing a few existing ceiling recessed lights with LEDs, replacing a motion detection light on a stairway that wasn't working, replacing an outdoor GFCI outlet, and troubleshoot a couple outlets that weren't working. I had already purchased all the needed fixtures. Instead of sending an electrician to do the work, they first sent someone to scope out the project. This was done in order that a quote could be provided. This troubleshooting service costs $150. Three days after the troubleshooting visit, I still had not received a quote. I contacted the office and was told the quote would be sent by the end of the day. I did not receive the quote on that day, but the afternoon the next day. The quote that I finally received, which was for labor only, had the following pricing: - Replacement of two light bulbs - $175 - Replacement of six existing recessed lights with LED's - $810 ($135 ea) - Replacement of stairway motion detection light - $250 - Replace outdoor GFCI outlet - $185 - Troubleshoot of two GFCI outlets not working $150 In total, TEC wanted $1,560 on top of the $150 I had already paid them. So over $1,700 for minor electrical repairs. Something I figured should have taken no more than 3-4 hours to complete. I found this estimate to be very expensive and decided to look elsewhere. After complaining about how things were initially handled and various other misunderstandings, I did receve a refund for the $150 troubleshooting fee. The manager and employees were very nice and genuinely wanted to please but, in the end, their cost was just too expensive in my opinion. My advice is find an electrician that charges by the hour for work performed, and avoid anyone that wants to charge a fee just for providing a quote.

I had one good experience with these guys when then installed a tesla charger at my old house and…read moreat terrible experience with them with they installed a tesla charger at my new house. The first time they did it they installed a 240 volt outlet in my garage and I plugged a tesla mobile connector into that, worked well. The next time they did it at the new house, I thought they would do the same thing but apparently they stopped installing the mobile connectors. Now they only install the wall connector which is a large sci-fi looking thing that is permanently affixed to the wall. It's also more expensive than the mobile connector. None of this was made clear to me when we started the project with Grayzer. They came to my house, got about 90% done with the job then saw the equipment I had and said "sorry we don't do those anymore". They explained the situation to me but since I didn't have the equipment they wanted they couldn't finish. They did however insist on being fully paid for the job. Stupidly, I agreed to pay them and they left saying "call us when you have the wall connector". That was a mistake. Never fully pay for the work until the job is fully done! So I bought one and scheduled a time to finish at which point they said they would need to charge another trip fee to come back out. I explained that it wasn't made clear to me that I didn't have the right equipment until the job was almost complete but they didn't care. They were insistent that I give them another trip fee before they would come back. Frankly they were pretty rude about it too. Like really rude. Whoever I was emailing was belligerent and completely unprofessional. It was extremely frustrating. I tried to explain that as the professionals in this situation they should be the ones checking that all the equipment is ready to go before the job starts. At the time I didn't know the difference between a mobile connector and a wall connector. I didn't even know that tesla had multiple options for wall chargers. I had what I used the first time so I figured it would work. It's not that the trip fee was so much money but after having to drag this out over two visits, spend another $150 to upgrade to a wall connector, a trip fee on top of all that was a bit much. In my opinion, a reasonable company would just accept responsibility and waive the second trip fee. Or at least offer to split it. But not these guys. They dug their trench and they weren't coming out. It was childish and stupid and I'm embarrassed for them. And to boot, the people they sent out to finish up the job were jerks. One of them was yelling and cussing at somebody on their phone like a crazy person in my garage. Honestly, these guys are like school on a Sunday -- no class. I guess this is what happens when you get to be a popular company. Customer service and basic decency goes out the window because what do you care, you have plenty of business. Right? Yeah right.

So I was in the process of adding a Tesla Wall Connector to my home. I sent out a request to three…read moredifferent companies ( all Tesla Certified installers ). All were prompt in their responses and provided well written proposals. Only Grayzer included the cost of a permit in their proposal. Further a friend had their wall panel upgraded and their Tesla Wall Connector installed by Grayzier and recommended them highly. After looking at the reviews for the different certified installers, and given that a permit is required in my town to install an EV charger, I went with Grayzer. They provided a date and service window ( a week in advance of my appointment ) and the electrician, Max, pinged me about an hour prior to his arrival. I showed Max my ideal location for the Tesla Wall Connector and he was able to accommodate without having to cut away any drywall or running conduit outside the wall ( YMMV ). Very friendly, professional and knowledgable. He took the information/pictures required by Tesla and by my town's permitting authority, commissioned the Wall Connector, showed my how to add it to the Tesla Application on my iPhone and verified that it was charging at the specified rate (48 amps). He was happy to answer any questions I might have, and I am just delighted by the service and work done. I would recommend highly to friends, neighbors, et al. All in all, quick, fast, efficient, and professional. Cleaned up work area when done. Thank you!

I highly recommend Texas Electrical Services of Austin. They are now my electricians for life.

We hired Austin's Texas Electrical Services of Austin (TECL #29127). One part of this was…read moreinstalling an outdoor outlet, which requires running a conduit. For this they used a flex conduit and to hold the flex conduit outdoor-rated fasteners need to be used. This was clearly not the case, as there is corrosion and rust clearly visible on the fasteners that were used to hold the conduit (see pictures). I'm sure of this because we also had conduit installed by another electrical contractor for another purpose on a similar exterior wall on the other side of the house that has zero corrosion on it. I reached out to them several times over the span of 4 weeks regarding this, and didn't hear back once. I also specifically remember that the person sent out to do the work was very rude and difficult to work with. This was particularly relevant for hanging a chandelier, since it ended up crooked and he didn't ask for feedback until after he had already taken down his scaffolding, and wasn't willing to put it back up. So to this day we still have a misaligned chandelier. Cost isn't all that matters. For what this level of quality you're better off either learning to DIY, or paying more to hire a better company if you want everything done right and good customer service.

Prices are PERFECT! +Human green Flag off the chart! Owner & co-worker are AMAZING humans The owner named the company after his son. I love that. He also mentors youth to help increase the younger gens in the electric trade; so PURE. I have Anxiety & Adult ADHD and I am just getting to the point of publicly stating this (as if everyone around me didn't know for years). The Yelp community has helped me deal with the forced contractor interactions because after all, the home improvements HAVE to get done. Knowing you have a solid, reputable contractor by a huge group of the YELP community takes a lot of that anxiety away. I researched Bear here on Yelp & the company was even BETTER than the 5 star reviews. I had overslept due to said anxiety keeping me up until 4am the night before. They waited for me patiently when I didn't answer the door, didn't answer the phone, or respond the text. I was KNOCKED OUT & didn't hear my 5 alarms! I did however hear my cat HOWLING telling me, WOMAN GET YOUR #### UP! Bear Could have easily just left. I had been holding off on getting these things done due to said anxiety so going thru finding someone else & scheduling again would have been pure horror for me. I am so grateful they were EARLY & had some extra time to wait for me. I also had a big event (Yelpies) the same day so I was so concerned about being late but Bear was 15 mins early which to them is how they operate. They had my 8 requests we aligned on up & memorized. They have a process & the output is QUALITY and beating customer expectations. I promise you this company will beat your expectations. If you are curious what they did for me, below is my list: 1. Take down a pendant light & put back up std light / cover 2. Check Fluorescent lights where light bulbs changed but won't come on; fuse may need changed (Garage & Laundry Rm) 4. Check why power is out in 3 outlets in Kitchen / Dining room 5. Replace light plate in kitchen 6. Change light bulbs pendant that is high up in front of stairs in foyer 7. Change Porch Light front of house 8. Fix broken Master Bathroom light switch Thank you Bear Electric & Yelp Community for highly recommending this company! I will use them for life!

They did find issues with the electricity being delivered to my home during that time. GFI outlets were old and the new ones have not tripped once since being replaced.
