Electrician On Call

This company was truly on point. I called on a Saturday, thinking I was going to have to set an appointment on Monday. I told the lady on the phone what I was needing and she was very informative and helpful! I called at 2 o’clock I had a technician at my house at 2:45. The technician knew exactly what he was doing and very professional and knowledgeable.
Pretty impressive for Saturday! I would advise you to definitely uses company!

Fantastic service for a fair price, friendly technicians.

Allie was able to kindly correct a scheduling issue promptly and quickly get Skip on site. Skip was professional, courteous, and on-​budget. I would use their services again if the need arises. Thanks Electrician on Call!

This company just generally employs really great people. They don’t want to nickel and dime you and will answer questions over the phone to avoid coming out and charging you for a quick fix they could explain over the phone. One time a man came over to help me install a mounting plate in my ceiling because I had built a chandelier I wanted to install. When he got here, he found out that the plate was actually unnecessary and would be quite expensive. However, he spent almost an hour with me looking into the ceiling and figuring out the best way to install the my chandelier without charging me a dime. He even gave me some free toggle bolts and screws and explained the best way to use them. I ended up giving him a tip for the time he spent, but he could have easily charged me a fee for coming out there. Top notch service.

Called and got a quote in an e-​mail. called multiple times to schedule the work, left multiple messages spoke to the receptionist who gave dave’s cell phone. She assured me she would relay the message herself and told me to reach out as well. it’s been 3 days and no call back from either people. Someone else was trying on my behalf all last week and got the same response. its going on 10 days today. I guess business is good because these guys just don’t care to do the work.

Tradesmen are so busy these days, it is difficult to get them to commit to times and stick to them. Dave and his guys did a very good job for me, tackling a number of non-​standard installations including LED shower lighting and recessed power and lighting under my kitchen cabinets. Dave’s rates are very reasonable and they welcome credit cards which is not always the case as some of these guys are clamoring to get every last penny out of you and less concerned with providing convenience to the customer. I highly recommend Electrian on Call.

We consider ourselves fortunate to have found an electrician as good and reliable as Dave and his crew. Highly recommend without hesitation.

OK, why would you bother to come to my place, see what I wanted done, take my down my info, and never send me an estimate like you promised? I guess I wasn’t a big enough project.

I needed a job completed for my new house that I didn’t feel comfortable doing. and Dave and Co. came to the rescue. I had all of the busy work done, just someone to come in and do the wiring that I could trust and was licensed. After reading other Unilocal reviews and calling around for comp pricing, I went with EOC. They were booked out a week, but this wasn’t an urgent job. I was given a time frame of 9am-noon…and they arrived about 12:15. No huge deal, I guess. Dave and his top technician arrived and he apologized for his tardiness, which I appreciated. Knowing the top two guys came to do this job immediately put my mind at ease though. Another thing I appreciated was his professionalism, both attitude and appearance. They both arrived in nice, separate vans with the business logo as well as wearing shirts of the same. Dave and I discussed the different ways to complete the job, and gave me the pros and cons for each. The thing I appreciated the most was that he shot it to me straight each way, but was willing to do what I wanted. He assured me that it would take around an hour and they both worked hard and diligently to do so. Dave and his assistant completed the job to my satisfaction and walked away knowing that I could trust his work and would confidently stand by it. Thanks for being such a hardworking, trustworthy company and I will not hesitate to call again if needed!

Owner personally came to my house to look at an issue when his other staff was backed up and couldn’t make it. After finding no issue, he advised me of warning signs to look for and did not charge me for the visit.
This will be the first place I call if I have an electrical problem in the future since they treated me so fairly. I’m hopeful in my expectation that the work will be high quality and I’ll be taken care of as a customer.

I’ve read great reviews about Electrician On Call therefore I wanted to use their service. However, I’ve left a voicemail with no response. A week later on April 30, I sent an email requesting service but still no response. The email confirmation stated they would respond by 6pm the same day. I’m usually not the type to be so persistent but I trusted that this is a reputable business based on the reviews. Lord knows how hard it is to find a good electrician. I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt that there was miscommunication with scheduling from their end.
Update to my 5÷7÷15 review:
Dave personally called me and apologized for the scheduling miscommunication. He came out the next day and fixed my electrical issues. Despite his busy schedule, he wanted to rectify the issue and definitely has earned respect from me. Along with being knowledgeable, he is so nice and professional. All the great reviews about Electrician on Call was spot on. Will definitely be calling Dave for future issues! Thanks Dave!

Made an appointment on Sunday via email for Tuesday morning for a flickering light in the bedroom. Dave came over, observed the issue, and figured out the issue quickly. He replaced a bad breaker with a part he had in his truck, and resolved the issue entirely.
He also gave me some excellent (and honest) money-​saving advice to call Oncor first before calling an electrician about flickering lights, just in case it was a problem on the utility end. His rate was very reasonable, and he was clearly about establishing a relationship with customers, rather than taking as much money as he could in the short-​term.

Spoke to Dave. Gave me a basic and fair seeming quote over the phone.
Different guy came out to do the job.
I was at work but my wife was there with him. The guy couldn’t do part of the job (installation of a Lutron Maestro switch into a wall and canopy fan mod that allows it to work on any fan) and even tried a different switch similar to it, but it would not work regardless, so he just gave us a regular switch instead and installed it properly but didn’t fully reassemble the fan (didn’t charge for that though either). After we put it back together ourselves, it did work fine though… just didn’t have dimmer control or fan speed control from the wall like we had wanted.
Also, the guy did leave a bit of a mess everywhere (stripped cable insulators and wire tips that were clipped off) and I’m pretty sure he left his screwdriver, but he did install all 4 of the GFCI switches without any issues and even upgraded our fan box in the bedroom from plastic to metal, saying that the plastic one was not safe and could come crashing down.
Overall, the price definitely made it worth in our book, but would have really liked the guy to have been a bit more tidy. We will probably use these guys again, but I hope Dave reads this and works on getting his guys being a bit more professional next time.
UPDATE in response to Dave’s comments:
1. Regarding the shorted switch — We only discovered that the Lutron Maestro switch was shorted after the electrician told us, and we offered to go buy another, but the electrician said that was not necessary and that he’d try a different but similar switch he had with him. It did not work. And this was provided by the electrician this time. We never touched it. So instead, he installed a standard flip switch with none of the wall-​based controls we were wanting. Not complaining about him being able to magically make a shorted switch work, just that he couldn’t install anything else (even his own dimmer/​fan speed control switch he provided as an alternative) but a standard one.
2. He did properly install everything. Nothing has sparked or shorted since. Never complained about that. Did a great job with the GFCI switches. They look fantastic, and work great. Even having the standard switch is fine. Just was bummed he couldn’t get anything else to work besides that.
3. Your guy DID leave a mess. Take a look in the pics here. You’ll see his green electrician’s screwdriver he just left sitting in our bathroom.
Again, overall, we are satisfied with the work, given that your price was significantly better than the competition’s, but I wanted to clarify that my review is accurate.
Thanks, Dave.

Just called about an electric issue, and the kindest person just helped me fix it over the phone and helped save me so much money.
Thank you!!! Y’all are the best

Our power to our house went totally off at 10:45 pm
After calling oncor: they asked me to look at the smart meter for codes. They determined that it wasn’t the meter and it wasn’t their problem. So I called Dave at electricians on call. He asked me to send him pics of my electric panel box and outside meter. He determined that it was oncor’s problem and not inside the house. I called them back and they had a technician at the house within the hour. They tested the smart meter and determined it was a bad meter. Dave saved me lots of money by troubleshooting my issue over the phone. Didn’t cost me anything and got the meter replaced. I will use Dave in future for any electricity problems.

Called Dave about a maddening intermittent electrical problem where parts of the house would lose power for varying amounts of time. Dave came over late in the day and found it was an arcing lug in the outdoor subpanel. He tightened the lug and didn’t even bill me. Which was a smart move on his part, because now me, my house and my four SFR rental properties have a go-​to electrician! :)

Thank you Dave for calling back and show your caring. I just can’t wait a week to be scheduled by your assistance. I’ll try your service if I run into another issue

Electrician on Call is a great company. I hired them when I first moved into my house 1−½ years ago to change the height of my Chandelier and also install a better quality door bell.
This week I hired them to come in and install an outlet in my attic. Dave did the work and he did it cleanly and fast. I will call these guys amd refer them in a heart beat!

I have called and emailed this business twice: in mid-​November and now today. The phone is immediately answered by voice mail, and as suggested, I have left a voicemail AND sent an email to the address on the message. No messages were returned either week. I won’t be trying again.

Dave is awesome!!!
7:30pm on a Friday, and he was here in less than an hour. The dryer breaker wouldn’t stay on and the fridge breaker shot sparks out of the box and tripped off instantly when turned on. Dave fixed the problem in less than an hour, was polite friendly and affordable (I would have happily paid twice what he charged!).
This will be my first call in the future for anything electrical that I need! Thanks, Dave.
