Recommended Customer Reviews
Had a small electrical issues in a couple bathrooms so called AC since they are close/local. They were really busy so the receptionist (Debbie?) gave me some things to check and it worked!! Now that is how you gain and keep customers! AC will be my ""go to"" electrician from now on!
I have used AC Electric on three occasions and each time they were exceptional! They showed up within a couple of days of my calling, showed up on time, were extremely professional and efficient. I will call them in the future for any electrical needs and recommend them to friends and family!
S W.Excellent service and a knowledgeable crew. They replaced a couple of landscaping uplight fixtures for me with new ones I purchased and it works great! Also inspected my electrical panel to be sure everything was wired properly. Would definitely hire again in the future!
They installed an outlet for my electric vehicle charging station. The conduit run is very clean and hardly shows at all. The outlet was miswired at first and they had to come back to fix it.
Great work, I just feel bad for returning a charger that didn't work because of a miswired outlet.
We called Mike Short (yes that really is his name) to have an electrician come to our home and troubleshoot a bad ceiling fixture.
The technician quickly determined that the original line was damage during construction, so the build snaked a space line beside it in case the line failed. As it had failed, our AC Electric tech was able to quickly rewire to the new line and had everything better than new in less than 30 minutes.
Service was first rate and the price was fair.
Abby R.Great customer service. I only needed electrical outlets replaced inside and outside of my home and a faulty light fixture replaced. The electrician was polite and friendly. There was a minor problem with the installation of an inexpensive light fixture that I bought (I won't make that mistake again) at a local home improvement store. They promptly fixed the issue. I would recommend them to family and friends.
AC Electric did a great job with our copalum wiring upgrade. Very neat and professional, came on schedule and performed the work on time. Very satisfied and would recommend AC highly!
Tim G.I like Mike. He has done good work for us in the past. My last round we had some hiccups due to his bucket truck not wanting to cooperate, but we figured out how to get past that. I think you can trust Mike to take care of you.

RW H.I have worked with Mike on multiple occasions They installed a 200 amp panel and completely wired my studio, including some 3 phase circuits. At our first meeting Mike made some very helpful and cost saving suggestions. The price was reasonable and the work was completed in a timely manner. I will use them for all my electrical work!
Jtoma F.Love these guys. Locally owned and very speedy service, especially when it is the middle of summer and you need something done quickly in the Texas Heat.
I found out about them online and everything was done as promised.
Pricing was okay. Not the most expensive or the cheapest.
