Had light switches updated and dimmer put in along with new fixture installed and moved. I would definitely use them again. read more

After giving them a multitude of changes, I can honestly say I would not allow them to touch anyting on my property. Our first experience was when I had them wire a 50 amp rv outlet on our house. With in two days, the breaker exploded, becasue they had installed the wrong brand breaker into the breaker box, causing the entire box for the house to explode. Luckly, nobody was hurt, and it didnt casue a fire. I called, and they let me know that they had fired the electrition that had come out, and send a different person out, who replaced the entire panel in the house. I than had them out to run 6 RV boxes, and set up a new, 400amp service for a commercial property. They qouted me a 2 day turn around time, and let me know they would handle everything, which seemed great. All seemed good, untill we got the City inspection report back, and failed. Not only had they attempted to submit this as a residental project, which it wasnt, they installed two seperate boxes, a 150, and a 200 amp service to try and avoid having to get permits for a comercial service. After, a literal year, we finally passed inspection. This all leads us up to my most recient challenge. One of the boxes they installed stopped working properly, so I went to take a look, to find it completly fried. I called a licenced electrition (not them) to take a look, and we quickly found the issue. None of the plugs had ground wires run to them. They just left that hole blank, which meant that there was no way to trip the breaker if it surges, causing it to explode. The new electritians exact words were "oh my god, this is how people die". I now, have a multi thousand dollar repair on my hand, but on the bright side, nobody died. read more

I sent Star Tech Electric a really long list of electric work that my house was in need of. Two guys came out today. They were full of good things. Unfortunately most everything was broken enough ($700 ceiling fan) two sets of motion sensor lights. One was very costly about 2 years ago the other not so much. I was just crazy about these two guys. They were full of advice and teaching moments. I have used Star Tech many times, I've always been impressed with their work ethic and their knowledge. I hope you like this business as much as I do. Plus they are an On Time machine. . read more

They are honest and do a great job. I had 4 lighting fixtures installed. Two were fancy chandeliers. Ian and Trevor did a great job. I call them the "A"'team. Helen read more

I wish I could give negative stars. Beware of this company! We contacted this company to replace a breaker. When we asked for a quote, we were met with some serious resistance. We requested quote numerous times and the only response we could get was that we would be told how much it would be later. I finally called them to get an estimate a few hours before the appointment. The man with whom I spoke told me that they would charge us a service call fee of $79 plus a fee of $175 per hour plus parts. I asked him how much the parts would be to replace the breaker. I was again met with serious resistance to disclosing the price. He told me that we would find out how much the bill would be AFTER the technician arrived. So, we were going to be on the hook to pay them the service call fee plus the hourly fee in order to get an estimate for a simple breaker replacement. IE, we needed to pay them $254 and then they would tell us how much more we were to pay. I told him that we needed a quote prior to any work due to some bad experiences we have had with price gouging in the past. I was met with the most condescending and unacceptable response I've ever encountered. He told me that I have no faith in mankind and that my head was in clouds. He said I was stupid to think that a service tech would price gouge. Obviously, immediate red flags went off in my head. Whenever a company rep tells you that you are stupid for wanting an estimate before they complete work and that you have no faith in mankind, it is obvious that they are getting ready to try to take advantage of you. They wanted me to give them an open checkbook for a simple breaker replacement. There is no telling how much they were going to charge us. Don't waste your time or energy contacting this company. They will want you to pay them $250+ just to give you an estimate AND tell you that you are "stupid and your head is in the clouds" for wanting that estimate. Beware of them! read more

Fast and friendly service , was able to get a severed wire issue resolved within 24hrs. Professional and very helpful answered all questions and concerns and gave excellent rate on repair under 2hrs in and out! read more

Top to bottom and side to side, they've provided incredible service in addition to doing the work with attention to detail and successfully repairing our challenging situations. Ceiling fan installation? Check! Had to do some custom work to provide a safe and secure mounting of the fan--they're like artists with a technical side. Weird short thing that happened in the kitchen's island--Check! Re-wired the outlets and we haven't had a problem since. It's weird, they say they're going to do something, and they do it! They say they'll call and follow up to reschedule an appointment, and they do it! They say they're going to arrive at a certain time, and they text and call to notify they'll be earlier if that's OK. OK, that'll be fantastic! And they arrive in full Covid-safety mode and they do the work! And they're affordable. Parts, labor, all reasonable. read more

Startech did an amazing job not once, not twice but all six times I've had them come out to our house to update lighting or to add on to our ongoing projects. They are professional, kind, fast, honest, problem solving and very easy to work with. You can't go wrong giving them a call and putting them to work. They put up 7 fans, 8 lights, added exterior outlets, added interior switches and outlets and everything they've touched has been done perfectly. Very grateful to have them for this work and my future projects. read more

The breaker switch for our pool equipment kept tripping, and the last time I reset it I saw a flash inside the panel. I called Startech around 10 and they said they could squeeze us in, probably toward end of day. Doug called about noon and said they were ahead of schedule and said he could be there in 20 minutes. He quickly diagnosed the problem as a loose wire and fixed it, he also answered all my questions and gave some suggestions about additional steps I could take. What great, friendly and prompt service. Doug and Startech get my recommendation! read more

Ian and Trevor were nice, efficient and professional. They put our ceiling fan up in no time and even impressed my hard to please hubby. I would definitely use them and Startech Electric again. read more

Bart, Travis and their crew are everything you want in electricians: knowledgeable, timely, courteous and affordable. They have gone the extra mile every time I've used their service. They are the "go to" to go to. read more

Had these guys out to install 2 220 outlets for a new machine I purchased. Didn't quote me but, I asked one of the guys less than 30 mins of completion and he said around $350 and I told him that someone else was legit for it, when it was time to pay, the cost jumped to $520. Be warned, get a true hard quote from these guys, and also make sure you have a trash can or they'll just throw their trash on the floor or in any container that resembles a trash can. WILL NEVER USE AGAIN..... He may not be a human calculator, but I work hard for what I have and this company took me for a fool and charged me $170 more than what they should've! Use with caution! read more

I was in the right turn lane to get on Mopac and one of their drivers decided last minute to stop in the lane to my left and when I started moving forward he began to cut into the lane and I had my horn blowing yet he kept pushing me over onto the shoulder. Rude driver. I would never use any of their services when they hire people of this caliber. He didn't want to do the right thing and get in the turn lane and chose to run up front to jump in front of other cars lined up to turn. If I had not backed off he made it clear he was going to push me out of the way. I did get his actions on video if the company would like to see how rude their drivers are. read more

We have been loyal customers of Startec Electric for many years; however, when I called them this morning to get their help with a power outage in 1/2 of my home which included our HVAC system they told me that they couldn't help with our emergency and to call someone else. In the past we have waited a week or more for non emergency electrical work; however, in an emergency we would have appreciated a quicker response. So much for being loyal to an individual company in this day in-age. A lesson learned the hard way. These guys are great for jobs where there isn't a time constraint; however, in an emergency, you had better use someone else. read more

After a few hiccups, Startech really pulled through. The end result turned out great and we are super pleased. We really appreciate all of the hard work and effort the team put into it! read more

We've used StarTech three times so far. They are always responsive and have done a great job. The guys have always been respectful and great to work with. They pointed out a couple of things they noticed about my lighting and helped us reduce electricity costs. I've also listened to their advice and got a home surge protector that actually saved my electronics when lightning struck our satellite dish. Just cannot say enough good things about StarTech. read more

Startech came in to do a lot of work for us today. Some of the work turned out to be more difficult than my wife and I told them it would be. Plus, we added a bunch of work for them while they were here. That didn't deter these electricians. They did an exceptional job at _all_ the work, got it all done on time, and well within the budget they estimated. They were friendly, courteous professional...the way you always hope that contractors will be. The only surprises were great ones! These are the best guys with which we have ever worked. They get our highest recommendation. read more

Michael & Charlie at StarTech Electric are simply outstanding. Reliable, reasonable & experienced. They have hung ceiling fans & light fixtures in our home...some of which have been challenging. They are our 'go to' electricians. I recommend them without hesitation. read more

Worked with this company for several months during the summer and they could never fix the problem. Travis was the one that seemed to know the issue but he would send someone else out that was not familiar with it or did not have the experience in dealing with it. A different breaker was supposed to be put in to be able to handle what we had. A new one was put in but the same kind of breaker, I found that out a couple weeks ago when I had someone look at it and that was months later. Travis always said he would be out in the next few days, took him usually a week or more, wouldn't return calls or texts. Didn't see him again. The final time dealing with this company Travis sent another crew out. They said they took care of it and the issue was fixed. I paid them (a lot) and the issue happened again. read more

StarTech fixed multiple electric issues and installed a whole house surge protector today. They were awesome. The team was super professional and really efficient with the multiple issues we had. We highly recommend them for any electric needs !! Kudos to StarTech Electric! read more

I wanted to give a shout-out to StarTech Electric. A few days ago I used Startech to add a 60amp breaker box in preparation for some new pool equipment. They had previously given me an estimate for the work (no charge for the estimate). It was a pricey job as expected, but when they actually got into the garage attic to begin the work, they discovered untapped electrical resources. Bottom line, they did a great job (thanks Ian and Trevor) and charged me considerably less than I was originally quoted due to decreased labor and materials. That is honesty! read more

I had an outdoor lighting issue...basically they quit working. I googled electricians and found Startech Electric. They came out the next day and let me know it was a minor issue. They fixed it for a very reasonable fee. I would highly recommend them. read more

Can't really speak for their actual service, but my attempts to get these folks to come out to my house for some actual electric work was sorely lacking. I took the time over the weekend to complete their rather extensive form on their website requesting service. After completing it, I received an email saying someone would call me. By Tuesday I hadn't heard anything so I called their number. The man who answered proceeded to lecture me about how nobody really uses their Internet form (about 1 in 550!) and he really doesn't pay attention to that stuff and I should use the telephone. When I pointed out that I used the form because it was late at night, again, he said I should have called and left a message. WELL, EXCUSE ME! read more

We recently used the services of Startech Electric, and they sent out to my home two fine employees who were timely, and did their work professionally. We were entirely satisfied with their efforts, and not only did they do excellent work, but they even expressed that certain things that we had in mind were not really worthwhile financially for us to pursue. We thank Startech Electric for its competency, and for its excellent services and advices. read more

StarTech had to clean up after a handyman didn't connect my bathroom ceiling vent/light/heater correctly. They were pleasant, prompt, and corrected the problem quickly. I should have called them in the first place. read more

We have used Startech about three times, the last one being over a year ago, but apparently they no longer respond when a customer has a need. Perhaps they are "too big for their britches" now, but we called them and left a request to call us for four straight days. NEVER a response. They have a message on their phone that tells us how "popular" they are. Great, except that they are so "popular" that they ignore people. I do not recommend wasting time on this bunch. We found someone (Malco) that responded immediately. read more

Today, I had StarTech Electric do some electrical work, including running new lines for new appliances, relocating an ethernet cable and outlets, and fixing a broken ballast. They were prompt, efficient and very nice. Before they started, they gave me another option that saved me an extensive amount of money from the original quote. I highly recommend them. read more

Sorry but this is not a reputable company. Robert and Charlie came to my house to install ceiling fans. They showed up and didn't have the right size ladder so they had to come back. They came back three days later to install and said that I had the wrong down rods. Robert said no worries I can get them in 2 to 3 days. He calls while he's at my home and says that he can get them. I said okay and leave everything where its at since you'll be back in a few days. Fast forward, 2 weeks later I called Robert and he said that he would put me on the calendar for this Friday. It's Friday and I haven't heard from Robert so I call Bart the owner. Bart says let me call Robert and see what's going on. He calls me back 2 hours later and says that he can have my fans installed next week either Tuesday or Wednesday. I told him that I was told a few days to have the work done and now it's going to be almost three weeks. Bart says "I'm sorry but it is what it is" In the mean time I have the fans built sitting on the floor waiting for them to install them. No customer service, No follow up, No follow thru. I would not use this company. read more

Very professional, courteous, knowledgeable, etc... Highly recommend. More than fair pricing. Very impressed. I will always use them when needed. You can't go wrong. read more

Phone calls go unanswered now , trying to get some warranty problems fixed.

I have used Startech twice and both times they answered the phone and came when they said they would come. They also did what needed to be done at a fair price. I will call them again when I need electrical work. Thank You Startech read more

We asked Startech Electric to replace the Fluorescents with LED lighting in our garage. Ian and his assistant Trevor arrived on time. They were personable, very knowledgeable and efficient. The LED lights are great, no worries about replacing ballast ever and the lights will last for many years. The price was fair and appropriate. We highly recommend Startech Electric. read more

These guys are like finding a great friend. They are courteous, responsive and devoted to doing the job right. My wife and I had the guys come over when we bought our foreclosure deal and needed some projects done immediately. They were affordable, polite and just all around nice and friendly. I highly recommend them and wish more folks would review them and post here because they deserve 5 stars all the time. read more

This company sent two young men over yesterday to fix our hot water heater. It took them all of 5 minutes to diagnose the problem-two loose wires that needed to be connected. When I ask them if they were sure that was the problem, they assured me it was. Guess what? We have no hot water and they will not answer their phone/emails to address their incompetence. read more

Startech electric just finished work on my house and I could not be more thrilled with their work and professionalism. If you want something done on time, at the quoted price, with a high level of professionalism, then this is the company to work with. I'll never need to find another electrician. read more

Showed up 10 mins early, identified problem and fixed promptly.

These guys were AWESOME! Fast, efficient, and fairly priced. My husband is a Project Manager for a General Contractor, so when it comes to companies like this he is insanely picky. We've already had them out to our house twice and will not hesitate to have them back should the need arise. Thanks again, Startech!! read more

Just like having a brother in the business these guys are prompt through and reasonable

I have used StarTech twice for a variety of electrical needs and could not be more pleased. Shane is extremely professional, knowledgable and friendly. On a couple of projects, he talked me through the pros and cons of various options and helped me get to a better solution than what I originally thought I needed - saved me money in doing so. I've never recommended anyone on yelp before but Shane and StarTech are so great, I felt compelled to give them a big "thumbs up". read more
