"Matt replaced the two florescent light fixtures on my kitchen ceiling. Also, replaced my tubes with LED which is brighter and a long life. Will not have to hire a handyman just to replace the tubes. Both fixtures had black smoke marks, so I was lucky that I did not start a fire in the attic. Very professional and a pleasant personality. I plan to call Matt this fall to install a new electric panel in the garage, the existing one is 28 years old and could cause a fire."

"I had a wonderful experience with M &M electric. We hired them to install 2 light fixtures outside. They were very responsible, showed up when they said they would and worked very hard to get the lights placed where we wanted them. M&M Electric is a trustworthy company I would recommend to anyone needing electrical work done. This is a honest and fair company who will get the job done right. Weâ re very happy with our outdoor lights and will hire them for future projects."

"I had Raul replace over 90% of the lighting in my home so far and we arenâ t quiet done yet! He is one of the nicest people I know. Heâ s a master electrician and knows his craft. I have found that he goes above & beyond in the job. He knew the goal I had was to not only upgrade ALL the lighting in my house (fixtures, and all) but to make the overall lighting in my home more sufficient for each space so to achieve a brighter and more inviting home. To help me achieve this, Raul even went shopping with me multiple times to make sure I was purchasing the right fixtures for a particular area. Raul has always been punctual, and works till the job is completed. Heâ s our go to guy for all our electrical needs and Iâ ve referred multiple times! . The best part of all this,.. Raul is just a great overall human! His goal is to do the best job he can so to make sure your happy.. You canâ t go wrong hiring him."

Electricians do a fair amount of larger remodeling and new construction projects but also common residential projects including:
For cost information related to the above tasks, visit our Electrical Cost Guide.
A truly skilled, well-equipped professional with a truck full of parts that charges $100 an hour can be a much wiser choice than an inexperienced hack, working with inadequate tools and no parts, but charging much less. Often, more experienced professionals get the job done quickly with warrantied work.
2. Compare Travel ChargesRates reflect travel times. Travel charges can have a big impact on your costs and are in some ways easier to compare than hourly rates. Many electricians spend a third or more of their time navigating traffic on their way to a jobsite. Every contractor must find a way to pay for the expense of driving each day.
3. Bundle Repair Jobs TogetherWhen you feel it’s time to call a pro, review your list and then conduct a mini-inspection of your home. Look for faulty switches and dysfunctional or crowded outlets. When the electrician comes, you’ll save money and time by getting everything taken care of at once.
4. How to Prepare & What to Know Before the Electrician ArrivesAustin Electricians are rated 4.9 out of 5 based on 1218 reviews of 1218 pros.
