Electricians

Georges Electric is professional, very knowledgeable and reliable. We have worked with them on several projects and they always do more than expected. You will not be disappointed....

With all these glowing reviews, we had to give them a shot, but unfortunately we ended up extremely disappointed. Just to get an estimate was $145, it isn't fun, but relatively typical, we'll take it. Labor is $145/hr, so it makes sense to us. They show up at around 10am. The estimate comes in at $800, which includes parts, labor, working on two circuits, and a city permit fee of $75 each circuit. That leaves us about $650 for parts and labor based on the estimate. About $300 higher than another estimate we got from another company for free, but they're here now, so let's just get it done. Then we learn they don't have the necessary parts or equipment. They spend the next hour driving around to get parts. They say the parts are only going to be around $125, so we're thinking 2-3 hours labor + parts + city fees...seems reasonable...we should come in right under the $800. A little way in to the work, it looks like they can make just one circuit work, so the city fee will be half, just one $75 charge. Now we're thinking we'll come in well under the $800 now, since the labor is almost done, the parts cost is known, and the city fee will be cut in half. We estimate in our head around $635 (3 hours labor @ $145/hr + $125 + $75). Job is done. It is a little after 2pm. Time to write-up the invoice. What? It looks like we're going to be billed for the hour it took them to go get the parts for the job. I suppose we should have just had them come back another time, so that they were prepared from the start. So now we're at around 4 hours total, that's like $580 + half the city fee ($75) + about $125 for parts. Around $780, right? Looks like the estimate is about right. Wrong. They said parts would be around $125, but they were $210. Ugh. Okay, but that's $85 more and we saved $75 on one city fee, I guess that's OK. Now we're at $865. A little bit higher than estimated, especially when we thought we were going to come in under, but not too crazy...but we keep going down the invoice. We were wrong again. Turns out the $145/hr quote for labor was if there was only one person, but the second apprentice person costs extra, $75/hr more. That's another $300 that was not disclosed to us upfront. All said and done, the total was $1164 and some change. But we got a meager discount and it was *only* $1100. $300 more than the original estimate, despite half the city fees. $600 more than another company's estimate we received. Never doing business with them again.

The electrician came to my house on time. He saw what the issue was and gave me an affordable quote. He completed the work and made sure to cleanup after himself when he was done. I needed a 220v outlet converted to 110v. I am very happy with the results of the work and will definitely use this company again!

Our heating system failed this last winter and these guys came out the same day and got me up and going! Excellent workmanship, clear and understanding process, and they will even be coming back to service my system to prevent this from happing in the future. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking to get the right company out the first time!

They were available for us in an emergency, showed up on time, and did great work. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. Mr. Electric will be my go to electrician!

Max was very responsive and willing to come help day of when our electricity shorted outside. He gave us a quote quickly, so we knew what to expect. Definitely will call again for other electrical issues.

We needed to have a transfer switch put in our garage for a new generator. We also wanted to get some security lights put up around our property. Arthur was great to work with. He and his helper did a great job. We are very pleased with the work that they did. What looked like a 2 day job was done in one day!

Mostly positive experience with a much longer timeline than I expected. I had a few well known electrical companies and one independent electrician provide quotes on a project to install a 60A sub-panel in a small backyard workshop. The cost to have an electrical company dig a 100' trench for the conduit was a tad bit outrageous ($1600 - $3500 for the trench), so I outsourced that part to a local contractor to save some money. After the trench was dug, Mr. Electric started work in early December and installed the sub-panel in less than a day, which was fantastic. I called the day after the work was completed to ask about the timing of the inspection and was told that they would handle it and get back to me. I didn't think much of it and left on vacation for a week. Called them again in late December and was told that they were working on it and that technically they had "6 months to complete the inspection". I'm not sure who would be OK with that kind of delay, but I certainly couldn't wait that long to forge ahead with my project. I gave it another week for them to schedule and called back again, this time strongly insisting that they send out the master electrician and inspector as soon as possible. Busy schedules pushed out the inspection two weeks and the inspection passed on the second attempt. Start to finish, it took 7 weeks to install the sub-panel and have it inspected. We were dealing with the holiday period and I'm sure a very booked schedule from the City of Dallas and Mr. Electric, so I'm sure that had something to do with the delays. With that said, I hope the company is able to provide more expediency with scheduling their inspections for future customers. Cheers, -Kevin
