They did a great job for good price. Good and professional communication. I would certainly recommend Brightside.

Very responsive to add us on their calendar, showed up on time. Even though there was some miscommunication about the repair, the job was handled professionally and to everyone's satisfaction. Great service overall!

I recommend Brightside.

Jon is honest and responsive. A lot of the electricians I contacted seemed intimidated or hesitant to take on our electrical remodel. They weren't prepared for the walkthrough, didn't take notes, and never got back to me or just padded their quote to the sky to make up for their lack of good estimation and cover their misses.

Jon promptly came on site and walked through the proposal and asked appropriate questions. He got back to me with a very detailed quote at a competitive price within 24 hours.

After the project, his invoice was equally detailed and accurate.

He's going to be able to deal with your electrical work; but the things above set him apart from the vast majority of electricians you'll encounter in the Austin area--and contractors in general. Particularly if you have a big job, these aspects of the job are much more important than most homeowners realize. Don't underestimate them, go with Brightside.

I used Brightside Electrical for three jobs over the last couple of months and they did incredible work on all three. The first was installing dimmable can lights into our ceiling (6 of them). The second was installing our Ring security system (3 outdoor cameras). The third was installing a new chandelier while also adding dimmer switches to that plus the lights in our kitchen. They came on-time, performed the services as quickly as you would expect, and were very friendly. If I had any questions or concerns, they went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied with their job. Their quoted prices before they performed any service was exactly what I was charged afterwards. I highly recommend them. As you can tell - through three different services - I will definitely use them again. Can't thank them enough!

It can be hard to find great help in a new city, but Darion and the crew were prompt, professional, and on time. Communication online was seamless. Absolutely will use Brightside again.

They quickly responded to my request, came on time, and charged me what they said they would in the estimate over the phone.

I had an outlet burn up in my kitchen and had 3 different electricians either not show up or send me outrageous quotes. I contacted Brightside through their website and they responded promptly with a quote that seemed appropriate.
2 guys came out and they were ridiculously fast and thorough! My house was a hot ass mess from Christmas projects and cooking experiments from that week (like I would've NEVER had anybody over looking the way it was) and they didn't even bat an eye having to move crumbs and dishes off the countertops and whatnot. I was asking them a million questions because I had installed a bunch of lights myself and they never replied in a condescending tone or made me feel bad for not hiring a pro. This is really rare and as a female- it's what prompted me to write this review. I own a business and have had to deal with a lot of electricians, plumbers, contractors etc over the years and so many times they treat me like I have no idea what I'm doing or talking about and shame me for attempting to fix anything myself. These guys were the opposite, they explained what caused the outlet to burn (I did not install it, btw haha) and went into great depth explaining all the possible scenarios while troubleshooting the entire picture vs that one outlet. Including my appliances. The entire time they were explaining, they were also working so fast. They did stuff to all the outlets in my kitchen, checked a few in other areas to make sure the problem was only in the kitchen and added a gfci plug in my kitchen... in roughly 30 minutes!! They also suggested an inexpensive device I could buy myself at Lowe's for future projects and to check every outlet in my house. They offered to do it for me but my house is like a construction/project zone and I wanted to get everything put away to be able to get to all the outlets. I bought the device and checked them all myself afterwards and now I'm sleeping soundly knowing the problem was contained in the kitchen.

Additionally- they showed up wearing masks and didn't try to take them off or fiddle with them the entire time. I was really grateful for that.

I'll feel so excited to finally have an electrician I can depend on for future projects at home and my business. Especially a team of them who seem to really care and aren't lallygagging around in an attempt to charge you the most money.

These folks have become our go-to for small electrical jobs (we haven't had any major jobs lately but we'd probably use them for those, too!) They wear masks, are professional, do the work quickly, and charge fairly. We had them in to convert 2-prong outlets to 3-prong, and then to put in an outlet. All is fantastic. We highly recommend!

The guys from Brightside were awesome. We replaced 4 outdoor fans and installed a new kitchen light. They were on time and went to work immediately. I have another light that we will install in a couple of weeks and will definitely use them again.
