Best Breaker Panels in Austin TX

I called Dunman on Tuesday 9/11/18 to get a quote for installing two ceiling fans I had purchased. Both my mother and brother used them around 6 years ago so I didn't even think to look them up online first - this was my first mistake. The receptionist, Becky, was incredibly nice and told me that they charge $95 per fan if there is already existing blocking, or $120 per fan if there is no blocking. This seemed like a reasonable price, so I scheduled the installation for 9/14/18 and was very pleased they were able to fit me in so quickly. My second mistake was not getting these prices in writing.I scheduled the time frame for 10am-12pm because I have two roommates that work late and sleep in, but I got a call at 9 am that the technicians would be there in 15 minutes. They were at the house 5 minutes later. Thankfully, my roommate woke up to my call to let them in and my parents were able to get to the house quickly to meet them. It was a bit stressful and I had spend 15 minutes of work time dealing with it, but I let it go because I know these things happen.Then, when the technicians started they did not place any sort of plastic down under the first fan so my roommate's bed, dressers, and floor was COVERED in insulation (which had fiberglass in it) and drywall dust. They shook out her comforter and vacuumed the floor when they were done, but they still left a huge mess and we had to to a much more extensive cleaning later before she could sleep that night.Next, there was an issue with the fan blades. The fan blades had two sides with different colors. They installed them black side down without asking which color we preferred. This was partially our mistake for not making clear which side to do before they started, but when asked to flip them they said, Well I picked the black side because it matched the furniture. It is not a technician's job to decide which color blade looks better in someone else's house. He then said it would be another $80 to flip the blades. This was quite annoying but, again, I just let it go and figured I would just figure out how to flip them later.But then came time to pay. They finished and said the total was $569.That is well over double the price I was told. They said they charged $170/hour, it took 3 hours, and there was an extra fee because I had not had any blocking for the fans. Unfortunately, my mom did not realize what they had quoted me and filled out a blank check I had left.They also left their ladder in the garage, as well as the old lights and trash from the ceiling fan packaging in piles in the rooms.I was still at work but I immediately called back the office and relayed everything that had happened to the receptionist to figure out what was going on. She told me she would pass my complaints on to a manager, who would get in contact with me after she talked to the technicians. I called back after an hour of not hearing from them. The receptionist informed me my case had been escalated to the owner and he would get in contact with me, however he was at an electrical emergency and it may not be until later that afternoon before I heard from him. I never heard from him. At this point I put a stop payment on the check so it would not be cashed before I had a chance to talk to Craig.I had to call them back myself Monday. When I finally got in touch with him he informed me that while, yes, his receptionist had told me $120 per fan, the lowest he would go for the service was $450. $125 per fan installation plus $100 per fan for the blocking.I would strongly advise anyone looking for an electrician to look elsewhere. There are plenty of honest companies in Austin. If you insist on using Dunman, make sure you get everything in writing. In the end, I agreed to this price to just get all of this behind me and to keep from missing any more work, not because I thought it was fair or just. I truly hope Craig and everyone else at Dunman learns from this experience and starts treating their customers like fellow human beings.

Electrician Nathan Plew was excellent at explaining everything about the job and worked efficiently. Very well mannered.

Hired Retiz Electric through Angis and was not disappointed. They installed a level 2 EV charger in my garage.They were professional, the outcome is very clean, and they were fairly priced especially when compared to the recommended installers by the company I purchased the EV charger from.

Justin and his team did a fantastic job on designing the outdoor lighting and setting it up. Love the way the lights illuminate the house. Thanks. Highly would recommend

Louis has done several jobs for us and we couldn't be more pleased with his professionalism and knowledge. He is very reasonable with his pricing and just overall has a great personality. i would highly recommend giving him a call.

Tech was knowledgeable and fast. Great service!

Ken and Wayne were out yesterday to fix a malfunctioning kitchen light. The problem was found quickly and corrected. They have been here before and greeted me with cordial good to see you again and also told me to say hello to my husband and happy bday to my granddaughters! So professional and personable, too; this is the company for me!

Shane really knows his stuff. I highly recommend him. Thanks Shane!

Very responsive and professional service!

Joe showed up himself, checked out my 35 KW Generator gave me some preventative maintenance tips. Well done.

Pucek Power installed some additional circuits and switches for exterior lighting. The quality of work, price and responsiveness was outstanding. Josh will be my contact for future electrical needs! Thanks

We used Nealco to do some electrical work on our home, and was extremely pleased. There was lots of patience with our changing directions and plans on some things. Fair prices and great work!

We had some commercial electrical work done. Jonathan and Mindy were very professional and easy to work with. The job was completed on time and within budget. We would hire Jonathan and his team for our electrical needs again.
