William gave me a prompt estimate, which was competitive with the others I got (also Angie's List sources...). Once we agreed on a time performed the work he arrived and got right to work. He completed things very promptly and professionally, and even went the extra mile to re-secure our home's breaker panel to the house and show me how he had taken some extra measures to tighten and secure a main wire that had become a bit exposed over the years. I really appreciated that, and am happy to have the extra power source in my garage now! He did a great job, and I'd definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Added another GFCI outlet in garage, with accompanying wiring from breaker box.

I needed an electrical outlet added in a closet area to supply power to a alarm system. I was hoping to get this done quickly to finish our alarm system installation. I called Duhon Electric and they picked up immediately. They were able to make an appointment for the next day. I've learned that's very rare with electricians in Austin. The serviceman showed up right on time and was very friendly. I was doing things around the house so I don't remember how long it took for him to complete but I was surprised when he said he was all done. It looked and worked perfectly. He cleaned up his mess and he was on his way. I highly recommend Duhon Electric.

He was able to give me an estimate over the phone. He came at the scheduled time, a little early actually. He was polite and professional, the work was very well done. There was a minor problem with the remote for one of the fans, which was an equipment issue not a problem he caused. He returned my call promptly about the problem and offered to come reinstall a new remote without additional charge. I would definitely use him again in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced two broken ceiling fans and one bedroom closet light fixture. In addition he fixed a second closet light.

I got Duhon Electric from Angie's list. They responded right away, came same day, fixed two problems within minutes, were very courteous and service was just amazing. I felt the price was a bit high, but have to admit that it's likely the going rate. Also I did get a discount because of Angie's list. I highly recommend Duhon Electric and will definitely use them again, if I have a need.

These guys are unfailingly polite, very knowledgeable, and willing to undertake whatever we needed in the way of electrical work. They treated our every question as though it was both important and intelligent. I will recommend them to anyone who ever asks and highly commend them to my fellow Angie-ites. One thing to warn you of, this is Austin. Don't think twice about the long hair and piercings. These guys are true professionals and I can't remember the last time I was treated so respectfully and courteously.
Description of Work: We had a laundry list of things we wanted done in our 17 year old house. Add whole house surge protection, change wiring for overhead lights, add outlets at various places, install several lights, re-do wiring on an outdoor pergola, install a towel warmer, etc etc.

I had Duhon Electric out to fix some wiring problems a couple of months ago and was pleased with the work. I had them back last week to replace a faulty GFI. And I had them come out again this week to hang 3 lights in really difficult to reach spaces and do some replacement of electrical switches. They did a phenomenal job - got here right on time, finished quickly, cleaned up. I couldn't be more pleased and will recommend them to all of my neighbors and friends.

William and Damien are top notch. Much thanks to fellow Angie's List reviewers for the recommendation. We were in the middle of a bathroom renovation and decided it was a perfect opportunity to update the breaker boxes to the house as well. After contacting another electrician and never hearing from him again, I contacted William. Boy, am I glad I did! He's professional, honest, does great work and easy going. He provided several options before starting the work and took the time to explain what each option really meant. His estimate was spot on with the final invoice, so no surprises. I happy to have found our electrician.
Description of Work: Replaced two electrical panels, including the original Federal Pacific panel, as well as creating an entirely new circuit to a bathroom.

Overall, I was very pleased with their service. They're both very down to earth, honest, helpful informative guys who, from what I can tell, did awesome work. What I did learn, though, is that it's the customer's responsibility to ask clear, direct questions about price because most of the time, service providers aren't going to just offer up that information to you. Yes, I got an estimate associated with the outlet work but I was not ever really told about all of the different costs involved. I did not ask any specific questions about their per-hour rate either and I later regretted it. Damien and William actually came to my house twice, first to do the breaker work and then two days later to install the outlets. After the first day, they voiced that they didn't really do that much work and that we could just level on payment stuff the next time they came (I also regret not keeping track of the time that was spent, but it could not have been longer that 30 minutes). Their second trip was obviously a little more involved because they installed the outlets. Again, I didn't keep track of their time and wish I would have. All of this to say, I was a little surprised to get hit with a $400 bill (the majority of the amount coming from their $145 an hour fee for 2 hours of work, a number that I honestly feel was rounded up, especially after I was made to believe the first day of work "really wasn't that big of a deal"). Bottom line: as a customer, don't forget to ask as many questions about cost as you can. And as a service provider, it would be really nice if the Duhon bros would be as clear as possible about hourly rates, cost of parts, etc. Estimates are just that - they're guesses. When you have a more precise idea of what the work is going to cost, relay that information to the customer as soon as possible.
Description of Work: Damien and William added two new breakers (undoing and improving a prior electrician's workmanship that was poor), a surge protector on my circuit box outside and installed a power outlet in each one of my bathrooms. The breaker/surge protector installation was basic and seemed fairly simple. The outlet installation was a little more complicated, as it involved climbing up into my tiny attic, dropping power between the walls of the two bathrooms, cutting holes in the sheet rock and assuring the whole set-up was grounded.

They were busy and initially I was told he was coming by to take a look and give and estimate. Once he saw the setup, he gave me an estimate of no more than $180 and that he could do it now if I desired. It was done faster and cheaper than estimated and was exactly what I needed and where. Since they went on an existing line that had only a single outlet in the garage, I wasn't expecting any issues and didn't have any. William was very personable and easy going. I mostly stayed out of his way. He did not seem to mind at all when I didn't.
Description of Work: I needed one GFI 110 outlet and a regular 3 prong outlet installed on an existing line. One was inside, the other next to a new water heater with an electric igniter. The other was simple plug. One was through an insulated garage wall, the other an interior wall.

He responded promptly, gave an estimate (dead outlet turned out to be a user error :-)) for replacing the switch and ceiling fan/light. Did the work right then and there in a very short amount of time (less than an hour). He even assembled the ceiling fan unit for me prior to installation. He was very courteous and professional. I would definitely use them again.

William Duhon was able to meet me at my convenience to initially assess the problem and gave me a great estimate. The initial problem seemed simple, but he would need to come back the next day when his supply store would be open to purchase the needed part. He returned the next day & found that the problem was not in the meter box, but that the burried wiring that leads from the meter box to the house's braker box had failed & needed replacing. He called me at work to explain this, he gave me only an estimate for the wiring cost & the approximate time it would take him, but he did not say the price per hour would increase because he would bring in his partner to assist him. I gave him phone consent to proceed. He also neglected to tell me I would be paying for the rental of specialized digging equipment. He did not call the gas company to notify them of the planned digging. They hit the gas line that runs from the street to my gas meter. They created an enormous gas leak in the yard right next to my house. They did not even know which gas company serviced the area and had to ask a neighbor to find out. When my husband arrived home from work around 5:30 pm, the electricians were finishing up re-burrying the new wire in the yard, he helped them finish burrying the wire. The electricians also informed him it would be his responsibility to call the gas company to have the gas turned back on, which my husband did. I think it is also important to note that this was one of the first nights it got down to near freezing temperatures, and our heating system runs on gas. I got home at 8 pm that night, the gas company had just come by to restore our gas service and the house still had a strong odor from the leaked gas. William Duhon came to our house the following day with the bill. It was for $2800, which included $500 rental of a digging machine that I was not previously informed of, and $145/hr cost of work because there were 2 electricians, which I was not informed the man-power & price per hr were going to increase from $85/hr as he stated the day before. We negotiated a price with him in which he deducted 2 hrs of work and essentially we payed a little more that $2500. They did repair the electrial problem, but I feel they were unprofessional because they did not give me an estimate before commencing this larger project & they were unaware that you have to call the gas company before you dig up somebody's yard. They seem like honest guys that know how to fix electrical problems and they were flexible with us on the bill, however, they were completely unprofessional. I am dissappointed with Angie's List as a service as well, because the contractor was so highly rated with Angie's List, I had full confidence in their professionalism. I would not recommend Duhon Electric to anyone, and I am also now less likely to recommend Angie's List to my friends.
Description of Work: They replaced the underground wiring that led from the electrical meter box in the front yard to the braker box on the side of my house.

Response from DUHON ELECTRIC LLC
This particular job was unfortunate for all. I called the customer to inform her that one phase of the buried wire had failed. I explained that in order to restore electricity to her house a trencher would need to be rented and we would need to dig a trench to install the pipe and wire. The customer stated she needed electricity and gave a verbal agreement to proceed with the job. My partner came out to help, as this was a time consuming job. It was not possible for one man to pull the wire through the pipe, which exceeded 75 ft. We were doing what we still believe was best for the customer… working to restore power as quick as possible while considering the cost of labor. To be clear, the customer was not charged $500 for the rental of the trencher, but was charged $500 for total materials, which included $150 for the cost of the rental. The customer was not billed for time spent repairing the gas, as this was our error. We understand the frustration of the customer and believe the total of the invoice (material and labor) was reasonable and fair. The technician from the gas company was not able enter the house so he informed us to have the homeowner contact them as soon as they got home. A technician from the gas company would to come out, once someone was able to let them inside, to turn the gas back on, check for gas leaks, and relight all pilot lights. We now know that we must always call 811 before digging. We received a fine totaling more than $800 from the gas company. Definite lesson learned! I would also like to note that our reviews on Angie’s List are well earned and genuinely reflect our customer’s experiences.

They got in touch the same day I called and came out the next day to take a look at my kitchen lights. Damien explained the problem and recommended a solution. He also provided an estimate for the repairs and for installing the light in the hallway. Damien and William actually showed up early for the scheduled appointment, were very professional in their work and the price was exactly what was quoted. I would absolutely use them again and I will recommend them to friends.

Unfortunately, this oversight in contacting the potential customer is completely my fault. Due to the Thanksgiving holidays and my daughter's first birthday, I neglected to contact this customer to schedule the work. I apologize for the oversight and would like to say that this is not a typical occurrence. Duhon Electric is always looking for new customers and does not usually miss appointments or neglect to call back customers; however, mistakes do happen. We will try to put some additional safeguards in place to prevent this from occurring again.

The guys arrived on time, completed the work efficiently, and let me know that I had a small gas leak that I needed to look into. Damian is great at listening to what you want to accomplish and providing you options for completing the job. I'm very satisfied with their work, would certainly use them again, and am grateful that I no longer have a gas leak.

Damien arrived on time and with everything he needed. We found when he got the fan nearly completely installed that the manufacturer had given us a slightly mis-blown glass on the light fixture. Damien said he thought he could even it out if I did not want to take it back and start all over again. He was a perfectionist and when he finished, I could not tell that it had a flaw at all. I was very pleased with the look and the performance of the fan. Then, as an added bonus, I got a $10 discount for being an Angie's List customer!

William and his team were professional, friendly and did great work. We had them install outlets both inside and outside the house - which required going under decking and running electricity from other rooms, etc. Their work was great - and they cleaned up thoroughly which I really appreciated. They were true to their original estimate, even though some of the outside work took more time/work than they had estimated. I would use them again without hesitation.

Damien came out to the house and with precision assembled, installed, and adjusted the heights for two light fixtures, one of which was a hand blown custom light that needed assembly in the air. All the work was done to perfection in one hour and the entire job cost less than $100. Damien really went beyond expectations for service and cost a lot less than expected.
