Edgar showed up on time and did the job efficiently.

Shhabbir K.Nov 2024

Edgar was very responsive and got the full work done efficiently and quickly. I’ll definitely utilize him again for future projects.

Edgar was very helpful and responsive. Quick affordable service. Glad he was available with short notice for our home repair. I highly recommend his services.

Edgar came to my home to give me a detailed estimate along with extensive explanations (he did not charge for this - others did). Edgar’s quote for the work was at the low end of quotes from other contractors. Edgar completed the work as soon as possible given delays caused by CenterPoint approvals and work. Edgar was always immediately available by phone and text. He was always punctual for the installation, City of Houston inspection and CenterPoint work. Edgar filed for City and CenterPoint permits. If you want high value, friendly and professional service with an estimate that is the accurate final cost by an electrician that is always available, you would be very well served to contact Edgar.

Edgar did a really great job hanging my lights. He was efficient with the time and cleaned up the mess from taking down the old lights. He did a great job, is very kind and friendly and I would definitely use him again!

Very happy with the work performed, will hire again. The first picture is the outdated panel, the other two are the new panels. Thank you!

Edgar was able to immediately help me. Did an inlet install for my breaker box to be powered by a portable generator. Went above and beyond to make me happy. Definitely will use him again!

Anything you need fixed or have questions about, he can do. He gives an honest estimate and excellent performance and repair. I definitely would use him again.

This is a long overdue review, but we just bought our first house in June, 2020 and we needed to install some recess lights and change/install a few GFCI outlets. I shortlisted a number of contractors and I decided to go with Edgar for his reasonable price and positive reviews on Thumbtack. I ended up doing more work with him, including upgrading my power capacity to 200 amp and replacing a number of smart switches around the house. I appreciate his attitude and that he's willing to work with my changing requests in the middle of a stressful pandemic. Overall, I am happy with his work and would recommend you to at least checking him out for electrical work.

Edgar, installed and wired 22 recessed lights in our house. He did an excellent job and communicated with me during the whole process. His prices were affordable and he was very diligent throughout the process.

Edgar was quick to respond to my calls. He was able to analyze my electric issue over the phone and made a few suggestions which included first reaching out to my local energy service provider. Sure enough, the issue was resolved through them. Although Edgar did not come out to service my unit, I respected his honesty and professionalism. I will definitely be contacting him for any future electric issues.

Great work ethic. I had a garage light fixture replaced and a new outlet installed. The work was excellent and even when I called the following day because I needed him to check something else out (which ended up being a the builder's sloppy work). He came first thing in the morning and fixed that too. I was very impressed and would 1000% hire him again. There's nothing more reassuring than knowing that a contractor will respond or even follow up on work they have done when you have questions. Great experience.

Filza S.Oct 2018

Edgar was fantastic to work with because he was on time, hardworking, professional and very easy going. He estimated two days for the job and delivered on time. He was a true professional

Beau T.Jun 2018

I would use American Electric again. Easy to work with and flexible hours.

Abdul F.Jun 2018

He showed up on time and did the work at the quoted rate

Amar P.Apr 2018

Edgar and his team did a fantastic job. Tackled any issue that came along. Very happy with his work.

William T.Nov 2017

I set up an appointment with you one week ahead of time and confirmed one day ahead of the time that you suggested. You were a no show. Didn’t even call to let us no. Very unprofessional. Too bad. I lost a day of work. You lost $12,000.
