Dunman Electric

Amazing service by an amazing company. I could not be more pleased with the quickness, helpfulness, & knowledge that I received. They responded quickly to my situation and helped get everything fixed during this emergency. They are great down to earth people who I like having in my home doing the work. Coudln't say enough good about Dunman Electric. I appreciate their service and will use them for years to come.

It was such a pleasure having Dunman Electric come into my place to replace all the switches and plugs, install new plugs for the garage door openers, and install new, updated outdoor lighting. The house I live in was built before the Code changed to require GFCI plugs in kitchen and bathrooms, and they knew exactly what to do to fix that, too. They also added a bathroom ventilation fan and now my bathroom no longer steams up during showers!Unlike others I'd called, Dunman Electric was responsive to my phone calls. They arrived on time for our appointment, were professional, affordable, and answered all my questions.I love their work and especially love the new USB and C charging plugs!What a difference Dunman Electric made to help me feel safer in my house! I'm certain you'll love them, too!

One of the best experiences ever with an electrical service call from beginning to end. I could not be more pleased with the expert knowledge and service I received from beginning to end. And the price was better than 3 other competitors by a long shot. This is a company you will want to keep on speed dial!

Completely unprofessional. Hired them to install appropriate CAT cable to an upstairs office that would work with our Google Fiber mesh network and increase speeds to the hardwired room. First of all, technician arrived 3 hours LATE with no advance notice. Technician seemed clueless on how to solution my request. Ultimately, his recommended solution was to install a CAT6. It took him almost and hour to come up with the solution. Upon installation, we immediately saw a negative impacted to our network speeds. These guys did a shotty job. Lead technician had a poor attitude and honestly didn't seem educated enough for the job. On top of everything, Dunman marked up the CAT6 conduit ten times the retail price, charged me 4 hours labor x 2 technicians (1 was a trainee) for a job that should have taken <30mins. They charged me $642.20 just for LABOR!! THEN, Dunman Billed my credit card for $1055.50, without authorization, EVEN after I indicated to them (IN WRITING) that I did not agree with their invoice. Overall, a horrible experience and wouldn't recommend you doing business with the dishonest company.

Dunman electric did a fantastic job. We got off to a rocky start with a slight miscommunication, but Becky took quick action and immediately made things right. The techs where both knowledgeable and professional. They even completed the job on a 40ft extension ladder (I rented) instead of insisting on a scissor lift. The amount I saved on not needing a scissor lift covered the entire bill from Dunman electric. I will use them again for my electrical needs. Refreshingly good customer service.

I would give zero stars if I could. Had appointment set 4 weeks ago. The never showed. Left work early at waiter at my house for 4 hours waiting during their “window of time”. Called them 3x during said window. Said they would be right there “next in line”. Called again, said they needed to reschedule for the next day. Sat at home waiting for 3 hours again the next day (Saturday) never showed again. Told me they needed to reschedule again for today. What do you know. Took off work early to make my 2-4 window appointment. Here I am again sitting at home waiting on them a 3rd time. Called there office 2x today. Even confirmed with them 2x earlier this week. Promised they would be here. Guess what!? Another no call no show. What kind of business expects to gain customer loyalty when you can’t keep your promises nor communicate worth a darn? NEXT. Just called RANGEL electrical services. They are showing up tomorrow. Only took one simple 2 minute phone call. I’m gladly giving them the $3-4k new home build custom wiring job I have to them. I guess you guys don’t like money.

On our new construction, we had ethernet run throughout the house. The previous electrician put phone jacks on all the outlets and didn't connect anything. Dunman came out and capped the cables in the closet and put in the correct outlets everywhere. They also tested all the lines and even went back and reconnected one that wasn't working properly. They were quick, quiet, and easy. No complaints. It was a little more expensive than I expected, but I'd rather pay for it to be done correctly once and never worry about it again than have it continue to be an issue or be only partially done.

I cannot say enough nice things about the quality and professionalism I've experienced from Dunman. Josh has done work on 3 separate occasions for my kitchen remodel and has been great to work with. Becky has always been able to fit me into their calendar at short notice and their prices are very fair. Wish I could say the same about my other contractors, but quality is hard to come by lately.

Dunman Electric responded to my call for service on a Sat to repair an electrical box next to the electric meter. They were at my house that same day to repair the box, the repair was done expertly and quickly and power restored. The price was reasonable and fair. I would recommend Dunman Electric to anyone needed an electrician to handle major jobs, or little.

I had an electrical issue that affected my business. I scanned the web looking for help. Dunman had very high reviews. I called on Tuesday afternoon and by Wednesday at 12:30, we were up and running. I am extremely impressed with this company. Keith did great work at a fair price and I will use Dunman again when the need arises.

This is the second time I have used Dunman Electric for minor electrical work and each time they were on time, professional and competent. Today Wesley replaced several GE Z-Wave switches that apparently were damaged during recent series of power outages. I had already purchased the replacement switches, but they were both in 3-way configurations that I struggled to understand. Wesley easily replaced all the bad switches and I deleted the old ones from my system software and added the replacements. He also corrected a poor connection I had made in the white white circuit. Everything works properly at the switch and through Alexa. Thanks Dunman Electric and especially Wesley.

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.

They were very reasonably priced, were able to come out and install my ceiling fan the same day. They were very fast and didn’t leave a big mess. I plan on using them to replace a few more of my fans and I’m sure they’re great for any electrical need. Definitely A+ service!

Excellent service from the initial phone call, to the actual service call, until the follow-up phone call from Dunman. The electricians were professional, discussed options, and presented a better idea than what I had asked for originally...and it cost less than what my idea would have cost! I highly recommend Dunman Electric and will use them again if I need electrical work again.

I am recommending this company without hesitation. Everyone I talked with, from making the initial contact and appointment to the electricians who arrived were courteous and professional. Today and Alec were the best - professional, personable and informative. Alec is an apprentice electrician and I observed how Cody interacted with him, teaching him on several different occasions. There is obviously a lot of respect and courtesy given between colleagues. These are the kind of people I like to have in my home doing work for me. I plan on having them back in the next several months to do more work.

From my experience with this company do not trust them when they advertise on their website for a free quote. We ended up paying $79.00 for a trip fee for the tech to come out and give us the free quote. Aside from that the tech was courteous and professional and his van has a great paint scheme on the side.

Called Dunman, late in the day without expectation that they would be able to service until the next day. Becky went out of her way to get a tech to my home to repair an a/c breaker that failed around 1PM, b/c my thermostat sent me a error text, which meant the house was hovering around 88-90 degrees by 4PM. Cody arrived was friendly and explained the issue; made quick work of fixing the problem. Price was reasonable, could I have fixed for less myself ...maybe, but not for less than a hotel stay with A/C, and the hassle of youtubing the install and the replacement part.

I had someone from Dunman come out to replace 2 light switches, install 3 junction boxes behind fixtures that had none, and replace a light bulb. The work done was good -- no complaints there.The cost -- $340. Wow. The guy who came was really nice and did solid work, but he seemed pretty new -- not a 20 year veteran or something. In addition to the roughly $100 per hour charge plus materials, the charge that put things over the top was a $40-$50 trip charge tacked on. After paying (I didn't want to put the guy doing the work in a tough spot), I called Dunman to ask about the trip charge and communicate my disappointment in the pricing.They never returned my call -- just cashed the check...

As a real estate agent in Southwest Austin professionalism is part of my decision process when I refer someone to my clients. Dunman Electric has always handled my clients professionally and fairly. Because of this I don't mind referring them again and again. I deal with a lot of vendors. You can trust these people

We had Dunman Electric come out and change all of our pool lights. We first had a pool company come out and they spent the entire day here and were unsuccessful--they were unable to pull the wire through the conduit in the ground. So the next day we had Dunman Electric come out and in a matter of an hour (maybe hour and 1/2 tops!) they got the entire job done. And here's the kicker, they charged us less money than the pool company charged us (even though they got nothing accomplished). So if you need lights done on your pool, skip the pool company and call Dunman first! I promise you will be happy (and pay less too)!

My wife and I enjoyed working with Dunman Electric. We had an outdoor outlet issue that they were able to solve easily. They also installed a few extra outlets in my garage. They were punctual, good communicators, and very reasonably priced. Thank you!

The tech that came out to survey my project and make a bid was really nice and I would have been happy to go with them. However, the person that sent me the bid and then responded to my emails was rude and never got back to me. I paid $100 for the consult and estimate and then had a question because the bid only included one outlet and I needed two. I was told that the bid was verbatim what the tech had said. I replied that that is fine, and I am happy to pay more for an additional outlet but never heard back. I thought with a $100 fee just to get a bid that I would get better costumer service, but apparently not. :(

It can be very hard to rate electricians, bc really, how often does one person really use one? However, I'm a real estate agent, and have sent several clients their way. My clients have all given me great feedback and let me know that they have good communication and top-notch service. Thank you Dunman for taking care of our folks!

Would never have paid $170/hr. + $35 trip fee if I knew that the “two-installer deal” was a very slow trainee getting onsite training at my expense, basically. The job was very simple - just reconnect a cable to a meter and strap to foundation. When I saw it required an hour just to connect the cable, I ended the job early. Needed only a drill and screwdriver, but he had tool sets strewn across the yard. When I pointed out the job was a lot simpler than they were making it, the lead would reply, ”we got this, let us do our job,” etc. Called to speak to manager twice and never received a call back.

Dunman Electric is a GO TO kind of company. Nothing ever changes and thank goodness. My appointment was set, honored and follow-up on. The guys showed up on time and knocked out a bunch of small projects. It is so hard to find anyone to do the small stuff. Not here. Once on site they worked fast and efficient. Pricing was fair as it always it. Keep these guys in your Rolodex.

Jason arrived at 8:01 for an 8-10 am window and from then on everything went smooth. Wonderful service from the get go on the phone and Jason was a total professional and knowledgeable expert. Additionally he was right under his time estimate and very happy to explain anything in great detail. Best part is everything works like a charm. I would definitely recommend dunman electric.

These guys did a garbage job. Conduit is just hanging, exposed. We asked for CAT6. They installed CAT6 conduit but installed CAT5 terminations/end points, limiting our max speed. Marked up the CAT6 conduit ten times the retail price that you pay for the exact same product at Home Depot. Billed our credit card without authorization before providing an invoice. Overall, a horrible experience.

I cannot say enough good things about this place.All around excellent service. And I have referred them to many of my friends and they all say the same thing.They show up on time get the work done and are reasonably priced.The one to use in Austin!

After trying to find a reputable electrician I came across the reviews for Dunham Electric. Josh and Cody came out today and did a wonderful job. They also helped break up a dog fight when neighbors huge dog came down. They stood between them and helped save my Zander. I can’t say enough good things about them. I highly recommend Dunham Electric. Thanks so much. Trish

Every time I need something electrical done, I know that I can count on Dunman Electic to get the job done! Inside, outside or poolside- they have done it all for us and we have always been happy with their service.I would recommend them highly.And, Becky is always a joy to speak to on the phone.

Mike kept me informed from start to finish. There was a delay due to the placement of a carport post and we resolved it painlessly. I am proud of the work done by Dunman Electric and will gladly call Mike for any future electric services.

Dunman Electric knows how to get things done through the City of Austin and its permitting process which can be a real hassle. They did a complex job well and in a professional manner. I would use them again. Thanks to everyone at Dunman!

I hate giving negative reviews.This is for work done in 2009. His technicians took a $100 Surefire flashlight, stuck gum on top a brand new ceiling fan, and didn't follow their own workscope for installing copalum wire nuts. I only found the gum because the fan ended up FALLING DOWN off the ceiling after they did their work and that is when I saw the gum stuck on one of the blades (I had originally installed the fan a couple weeks earlier). In 2012 we had a electrical short with a flash in a receptacle that was supposed to have had the copalum wire nuts and SURPRISE, no copalum wire nuts. This was not a receptacle that was hidden behind furniture or had difficult access. It was clearly visible, and unobscured on a bathroom wall.Mr. Dunman is a stand-up guy and gave us a discount on the work and paid for the flashlight in 2009. I did not have them fix their mess in 2012 because I had no confidence in their work. I just feel bad that he is stuck dealing with such a poor labor pool, I suppose he may need better screening methods to weed out the derelicts, but all small businesses run this risk.

I had a bad GFI out at a HOA entry where we had installed holiday lights. There was no address for the entry which baffled the computer dispatching and scheduling systems used by multiple companies. Dunman had no problem figuring things out and got the job done the next day.

I had Dunman wire my new shop. For the work they did, WAY over priced. Hired a different electrical to finish the job and he found Dunman labeled and wired my 50 amp welding plug incorrectly. Could have killed me and burnt my shop down.

Absolutely great work. The 2 guys were great. Friendly, professional and they wore masks. I give them 5 stars and recommend them to anyone

They arrived within the time frame they stated they would, did the work requested very well, answered questions politely, and generally went the extra mile to provide excellent customer service. I would hire Dunman Electric again.

Jason and Paul knocked out a tricky fan installation for an 18' ceiling - even going to the trouble to source an even taller step ladder to complete the job. Very much appreciated since I didn't have to break my neck trying to do it myself!

Mauricio and his assistant were awesome...very prompt service and they totally figured out what our problem was and solved it promptly....and at a very reasonable price. I will definitely call them again when I need help.

I won a judgment in small claims against this company. The damages were for work paid for but not completed. Now they aren't paying the judgment either. Buyer beware!

They were ok until I had a question about the bid they made. They said they would call me back and answer my questions. Never heard from them again.

Guys came out at 9am on time did a fantastuc bangup job. Very pleased with the service and cost. Highly recommend these folks.

Dunman provides PRO service, up to code, very friendly customer service and flexible rates.

I needed a light fixture repaired in my business. Cody was amazing and was quick!

Prompt, friendly and excellent at diagnosing and fixing electrical wiring issues in my 60 year old home.

They showed up on time, knew exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. Couldn't have asked for a better experience with an electrician.

Quick response for scheduling your electrical contractor. Thanks Dunman!

I was so thankful to find out about this problem had in my house great job it really made my day please put this under joy Armstrong
