We wanted to remodel our outdoor patio to be fully equipped with recessed lights, outdoor kitchen equipment, ceiling fans and in ceiling speakers with Bluetooth capabilities, we also wanted to add a hot-tub and landscaping lighting and some TV’s by the pool, so we had multiple estimate from different contractors and talked to all of them but we felt good with this one because they were extremely detailed about every subject, and their product knowledge and their advice was always spot on and put our interest first, so we ended up hiring them also to do our Tesla charging point, yet again, they did not disappoint & over delivered, they are highly recommended and if you are reading this and end up hiring them, you won’t regret it mark my word, this is coming from a service business owner myself in Austin. So thank you Edward, Danni, Joe, Chance and everyone who helped to turn our space the way we exactly wanted it.
A major storm ripped the conduit off of the side of our house. The electric utility wouldn’t fix our line until this service was repaired. As you can imagine, being out of electricity is never fun. DC Electric (Edward) came same-day and offered a very competitive quote to fix the damage and get our electrical wiring back in operating condition. Mark and Lewis (Louis?) were extremely thorough and went above and beyond. So glad to have finally found trustworthy and skilled electricians. Highly recommend DC electric!
DC Electric did a fantastic job of upgrading my panel. They came out quickly, and gave me a detailed breakdown of the work to be done. They also went out of their way to explain how the components work. On the day of the work, they installed everything pretty quickly, and even provided a generator to use while they worked. Overall, very friendly, knowledgeable, and meticulous. Would recommend!
