Best Electrical Audits in Austin TX

I almost paid $7k+ for nothing!!!After a thunderstorm, the house lost electricity in a couple of rooms. So I called Mr. Electric. The company scheduled a free diagnosis on Monday but was able to send someone on Friday (this is good). After his diagnosis, the technician told me the main breaker panel and the sub-panel both need to be replaced, and so were the seven smoke detectors and four GFCI outlets, and quoted me a price of $7k-8k!!!Good thing I didn't do it! I called Grayzer Electric for another opinion and they suggested that if it's the same breaker for both rooms I'll probably need to have the breaker fixed, but if it's different breakers, then probably there's nothing an electrician can do and maybe it's an issue on the electricity supplier's side.Guess what? After contacting the electricity provider, everything was fixed the next morning! For Free!I do not understand how a certified professional can be so off; I can only guess that they are trying to scamming me for not knowing!And the electrician left the breaker panel open (I had to call again to have him come back to close it off).

We called Malco Electric to replace our electrical panel after two separate recommendations from family and our realtor. We were impressed from the start when Randy, the owner, came out to our house to give an estimate - and the man is beyond gregarious. Unlike the other companies we called, Randy noted the need to ground the new panel. We were also anticipating a months-long wait time due to city permitting turnarounds but Randy also offered us an alternative to that - we had to move out for a couple weeks but are so grateful to Randy for thinking outside the box for us. Once we decided to move forward with the work, Randy called me almost daily with updates from the city from the time the power was shut off until we got word that the work was approved and electricity would be turned back on. The day the work was done (yes, just one day for a full panel upgrade), Randy was out there with his guys getting his hands dirty. We appreciated the excellent work and the customer service and we plan to use Malco Electric for all our future electrical needs.
