We had a potentially dangerous electrical issue on December 26 at 5PM that forced the whole house to be without power. We tried to call several « urgent » services who were unable to look at our issue for several days and Bert came right away, climbed into a tiny space to locate the exposed wire and get our house safe for the night. We will for sure use his services for all our electrical needs in the future.

Shipley did a great job with my EV install. They were responsive, on time, great to work with and my EV charger works great. They coordinated with city on permit and inspection and made it so easy. Highly recommend!

Bert came to my rescue after another sketchy contractor botched the whole job of moving an electrical meter. His quote was very reasonable. His crews are courteous and professional. The job was completed spectacularly, and the workmanship is second to none. Bert is a decent person and an ethical businessman. He even reduced the price due to part of the work (a ditch) being dug by the previous contractor. I have dealt with many electricians in the past but Bert is hands down the best. I highly recommend Bert and his team.

After significant ice storm related damage leading to a loss of power, Shipley Electric arrived at our home less than an hour after I first contacted them. Their repairs left things better than they were before the storm did it's damage and were completely in half a day. The workers even cleaned up after themselves! Their timeliness and professionalism couldn't have been better.

I’m a long-time homeowner and have hired many electricians and contractors over the years. Shipley Electric was the best I’ve ever hired. The owner and his team were true professionals. I asked endless questions, and they patiently answered them all. Their communication and coordination were top notch, they did beautiful work, were on time, and prices were reasonable. Even the city inspector proactively noted to me directly that Shipley has integrity and always does the right thing. I was impressed that the inspector would share such unabashed praise. I look forward to hiring Shipley again.

Incredible customer service! Very honest people and hard workers. They nailed the issue on the head and took care of the issue in minutes. I had to insist they accept more money than they wanted to charge me because they are so honest! If you want the job done quickly, correctly, and for cheap, call Shipley Electric! You will be impressed and glad you did.

Shipley Electric helped extend our meter mast through the roof. They’re professional, reliable and finished the job before their estimated timeframe. They clearly know what they’re doing. They came well equipped, needed one part and were able to go get it and back in time to finish. Excellent working relationship with Austin Energy.

Just wanted to write a quick review for Shipley. Awesome company. I'd give 10 stars if I could. Bert came out to our place with very little advance notice on a Sunday, for an issue I was having with our pool pump not powering on. Turned out, it wasn't an electrical issue at all, but Bert gave me a few tips that led to diagnosing the problem on our pump. And what's more - since it wasn't technically and electrical issue he could fix, he didn't charge us a dime. Really impressive and the kind of experience that will have me calling Shipley immediately our next electrical need. As a sidenote, by total coincidence, Bert's next appointment was with one of my coworkers across town and he also gave an enthusiastic and satisfied review for Bert's work. It's a nice feeling having access to top-notch service providers like Shipley!!!!

Came out to do job within a week of first contact. Bert’s team rerouted two electrical outlets and installed a smoke alarm, hardwired to my existing system. Crew was friendly and quick. Price as initially quoted. Would recommend.

We were so impressed by the prompt and outstanding service from Bert at Shipley Electric. We were in the middle of a countertop install on a Friday afternoon and needed an electrician to assist with a grounded power cooktop.Bert was able to work us in and is the only reason our countertop job could be finished without having to wait until after the weekend. He returned to reconnect the stove and also remove an outlet on another wall. Highly recommend Shipley Electric. Exceptional!!

Despite the late hour, they were on time and took the time to identify a problem that was not immediately apparent. They were professional, courteous and pleasant. Additionally, they followed up as many times as was necessary to assure that the job was complete and that the others players had done what they were required to do.

Bert was patient and professional throughout the entire process, from coming out to discuss the work before the install, and then for the install itself. They did a great job, everything looking nice, and they left the place clean when done.

I am thoroughly impressed by the work of Shipley Electric. Bert was highly professional and quickly diagnosed a wiring issue that was causing my electrical problems. He also found an issue with my water heater thanks to his thorough approach and fixed it free of charge. I will be calling none other than Shipley Electric for all my future electrical needs.

I heard about Bert from several recommendations on Nextdoor and my experience with him was excellent.Not only was he able to do our electrical work super quickly, but also (and even more importantly), after an issue popped up after the fact, he came over immediately that morning and had it resolved within the day.I’d highly recommend!

The initial bid was the actual cost. Bert did a really nice install, and spent a little time talking with us on ways to maximize EV charging...which is far from an exact science. Bert did everything he said he would, and took on additional steps as well. He completely took care of getting a permit for the project as well.

Good experience with Bert installing light fixtures.. on time & efficient. He also diagnosed a 25 yr old light fixture with 2 dead sockets that needs replacing. I ask lots of questions and he was kind and informative! He’ll be back.

I actually didn’t use this business, I was actually cut off by this truck on 360 in westlake and after I stopped to let her finish cutting me off so we didn’t collide, we came to a stop light, and the lady driving this Toyota truck wrapped with the Shipley electric information all over it, opens her window and throws a water bottle at me and hits my drivers side window. Not very professional, best of luck with service with this business if you choose to use them.

We lost power to most of our house, including the refrigerator and AC, around 10 o’clock on a Saturday night. It was 85 degrees then and predicted to exceed 100 the next day. Needless to say, I started looking for electricians early Sunday morning. Most electricians in Austin are closed on Sundays, and several of them that advertise 24/7 emergency service were either unavailable to come until Monday or Tuesday or simply never called back. Then I called Shipley Electric which had good reviews on Yelp. The owner, Bert Shipley, returned my call within 10 minutes and came out himself even though it was a Sunday. He quickly found the source of the problem; found a replacement circuit breaker that would fit into our 40+ year-old electrical panel (the original manufacturer had gone out of business); and then made arrangements to pick up the part from the owner of an electrical supply house that is closed on weekends. He had everything back to normal within about an hour and a half. We didn’t lose any of the food in our fridge/freezer thanks to him. He was very professional and courteous and did not recommend making unnecessary repairs, such as replacing the entire electrical panel. We highly recommend him.

Bert was recommended to me by one of my neighbors so when I first sent him a text to contact him, he replied promptly, so then we spoke on the phone and setup an appointment.He showed up on time and was very courteous and professional, he diagnosed the problem thoroughly and fast.When he finished, it turned out everything was working properly, so he told me I did not have to do anything so he was also honest and because he was very close by, he waived off his visit fee.Which I thanked him greatly!So next time I have an electrical issue I now who I’m going to call.Thanks Bert

I found Shipley Electric through Nextdoor. Bert is very professional and knows what he’s doing. He fixed outlets, light switches, added a dimmer, and hung a new light. He was very helpful while trying to figure out how to solve some of my requests. Bert was punctual and came on a weekend to help me out. I would highly recommend Shipley Electric!

Great friendly service, very reasonable rates, professional installation. I would recommend him to anybody.

I heard a buzzing noise coming from a light switch and was super concerned it could be a major problem. When I called, Bert could sense my worry and was at my house within hours to check it out for me, and fixed it quickly. He even waived the fee because it was such an easy fix! I will definitely use them for future needs and lighting projects!

Bert is awesome! We had a tricky lighting issue that other electricians charged us for but never really fixed long term. I searched for an electrician for an emergency we had and found Bert on Nextdoor. He came out on a weekend. After he fixed our emergency issue we had him look at our other issues. He was able to find the issue and fixed everything! Great guy and he makes sure that he fixes the problem on a timely basis and great price.
