Zellner Electric

Had to wait two weeks to get Mr. Z, but it was worth the wait. Several other companies just didn't want to install a big TV (the electrical connections) -- too small pickins' for them, but he did come out and complete the job, including a trip to the very hot attic! He will get all my electrical business from now on.

I contacted Zellner Electric based on the reviews on this site. I am really disappointed in the service that I have not received. Deryck was very friendly and listened to my needs. He then asked me to send him an email outlining what work I needed done and some photos of the equipment that would be installed after he completed the electrical. I sent the email but never got a response. So I called to ensure that I had sent it to the correct email address. Deryck told me that he had received the email but had not had a chance to review it yet. Now almost a week later I still have not heard a word from Zellner. No call...no return email nothing. I know that the little that I need done will not make or break them but I would have liked to at least heard from them. Even if they would not have time to do the work I need completed. I am now three business days away from when I need this work completed and will have to research another electrician to come do the work. Very disappointed. Would not recommend them for small jobs at least...they dont seem to get much attention.

The price I was quoted on the phone from Mr. Zellner was $140 to install 4 fixtures, and he estimated it would take around 2 hours (he also mentioned price might be less if it took less time). After it was all said and done, Mr. Zellner charged me $150 (more than initial quote), for what took him and his assistant about 30 minutes to complete. When I explained that the price he quoted was less than this, Mr. Zellner said he was actually ""giving me a deal"" because he charges $45 per fixture to install (which he never mentioned on the phone). The work was fine, but the feeling of being taken advantage of, is not a pleasant one. I will not be using his services again.

My family has found ourselves in uncharted territory. My father who has done renovations for the last 30 + years and was also an electrician was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in the middle of a kitchen renovation. All he could remember was he did not finish the connection of the electrical to the main box. We called Zellner, explained the situation, he came out very quickly. He checked the electrical work, double checked things and was VERY professional about it. We even had to ask Dad a few questions and Zellner was great. I am stationed overseas most of the time and being able to meet someone who I can trust to take care of my in law's electrical needs while I am out of town is invaluable. I trust the Zellner team. I received the answers I needed in a way I understood, for a VERY reasonable price. This is one business card we keep on the fridge. Thank you for the peace of mind.

I have been meaning to write a review about Zellner Electric for quite some time as I have a lot of good things to say about them.

First off, I LOVE that this is a small shop and the owner/operator actually shows up at your house to do the work. Deryck is super responsive via both telephone and e-mail. Add to this the fact that he was timely and open about when he could come do the work, and he is seriously our favorite electrician of all time. To add some context, the fact that he lives in New Braunfels and does jobs in both SA and Austin should indicate what a feat this time management and scheduling is.

Second, the quality of work is great. We have had no problems and he did not add on work for extra billing, as I have experienced with other service providers in the past.

Third, his pricing was fair and you definitley don't feel stiffed and doubting the quality of the work when he leaves.

Overall, Zellner is our go to electrician. I recommend you make them the same.

My new go-to contractor in the Hill Country. As an absentee landlord living in California, problems become huge challenges and Deryck made a molehill out of a mountain. Home warranty company sent another electrician but said problem was not covered. The electrician they sent quoted TWICE the price and I could find no information on the web about him. I did find lots of recommendations about Deryck. He returned my call immediately, went to check out the problem immediately and fixed the problem in less than one day from my original call. He was so nice and professional and I could not have been happier. Thank you, Deryck.

I had Deryck come out my home in Austin to add several timer switches for my closets, repair two outdoor lights, add a light over my workbench, and install a whole house surge suppressor. He was very professional, reasonably priced, and works quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to call him for any future needs or recommend him to others.

I called Zellner Electric for a small job at my home. ZE's owner called me back immediately, Deryck Zellner came out when he said he would, the job was done perfectly and at a very fair price. I would HIGHLY recommend ZE for all your electrical needs. I will certainly call them again. It is so nice when you find a company you can trust! Thank you Zellner Electric!

One of the BEST experiences EVER with a contractor...and we've used lots of contractors over the years.

Deryck, the owner, was very professional. He called to let me know he was about 30 minutes out. When he arrived he was very pleasant, got right to work checking out the problem, got the job done quickly and at a reasonable price. He will be our electrician of choice for any future needs and I have no hesitation recommending him. Zellner Electric sets the bar for how other contractors SHOULD be!

I wanted to say that I was highly impressed by the professionalism and speed in which Zellner Electric provided service to us. They were polite and very down to earth to work with. I had some electrical outlets installed and an outside light I needed repaired. They were fast and the quality of the work was outstanding! Do yourself a favor and trust Zellner Electric to handle your needs. They are honest, fast and shoot your straight. I will continue to be a Zellner customer, they are a rare gem.
