Britt Rice Electric LP

Britt Rice is fine for simple small jobs but not for anything complicated. An outlet in our kitchen stopped working and after spending some time under the house, we were told that it would be a time consuming and expensive repair. We wanted it fixed because we were getting ready to sell our house. They refused to do the work because it would take too long. There are plenty of capable electrician companies in the BCS area that are willing to work. Britt Rice should stick to puting in outlets.

Several times I would call them and arrange a time frame for them to come by and they said they would call during Xam to Xam to make sure I was there and never called during that time window. Eventually they called me one morning I was free but wasn't exactly ready for them to show up (pets etc) so said id be ready in 15-20 minutes. As I'm getting ready I notice he is already parked outside the house so I scramble to finish and go outside to get him but he doesn't notice and as Im barefoot I go back into clean more until the time was up. So after a little while past the time I walk over to him to get him to come inside and by this time I had less than an hour til I had to leave for work. He spends way too much time trying to explain how he would arrange things or how the circuit works while I am trying to get ready for work and never gives me an estimate of pricing and is here less than an hour, didn't get all the switches replaced that I needed, and one of the switches he worked on caused the one next to it to stop working.

The Britt Rice service employee did a great job. They came out in the middle of a thunderstorm, did the inspection and disconnected some badly frayed old wiring. A few days later they were able to return to replace the wiring and hook us up again, coordinating each visit with the City to ensure that they were on board with what was done. The electricians were at all times friendly, polite, considerate, professional, on time and left everything in perfect order.

While I really dislike giving bad reviews, I just couldn't let this one slide. I wanted a ceiling fan in my very large bathroom. I have always installed ceiling fans myself but this time it involved more electrical work than I can do myself. So I called Britt Rice Electrical and made an appointment. Nobody showed up in the 4 hour window they gave me. Frustrated, (they were the 2nd electrical company to not show up) I called my husband and he called Britt Rice. Finally someone comes to my house and tells me they will have to cut a big hole in my ceiling to install a brace, then I'd need a sheetrock guy to fix the hole and repaint my ceiling. What! Even little old me knows the brace can be installed in the attic. Then he tells me he is a commercial electrician, not a residential electrician. He doesn't do this kind of work. Well, I said thanks for his time and sent him on his way. A week or so later I get a bill from them for $62.00 saying they "replaced a light fixture in ceiling". Unbelievable. I called Britt Rice and spoke to Jody. He said he did remember the situation and he would credit my account. While the bill issue was resolved quickly, the rest of the problem has not. I have a ceiling fan in a box in my spare room just waiting for a home. After 2 attempts with 2 different electrical companies I'm now considering calling my brother's ex-girlfriend, she is a licensed electrician in Houston, and asking if she could come visit me and install a junction box. I really don't want to do that but I'm running out of options. There is a lot of construction going on around here right now and I get that electricians might be busy and my job is a very small one. But I do need work done and I will pay for good work. I just don't understand why nobody seems interested. I just need a junction box installed, how hard is that?

All went well.

Two of the wall switches were infrared controlled remote switches. When installed, both switches responded to either of the two remote controllers--so if you tried to dim the lights in the breakfast nook, it also dimmed the lights in the family room. It took a long time to get this figured out by the electrician--who did after calling tech support for the switch manufacturers. The confusion probably added at least an hour to the labor cost, which was not taken into consideration by the electrician--who charged a flat rate for the entire time.

The electricians had to spend a bit of time to determine the precise cause of the power failure. Their remedies were successful. Unfortunately, they were not able to communicate clearly with my wife (I was not there) about any possible problems with our wiring that might need to be fixed in order to prevent or delay future problems. She is sometimes difficult.

It went great! The actual electrician that arrived to diverge work was very professional, nice and genuinely loved his job! It was a pleasure to have him at the house! Also, Gabe Sheffy was easy to work with very professional as well. I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.

good work, punctual and I have added them to our list of vendors.

I couldn't have wanted it to be any different. The repairman was professional, pleasant, helpful. Though the bill was around $150.00, I was able to return the $100.00 fan I'd earlier bought, so we weren't out that much money.

Arrived on time & secured panels ordered.

It didn't take long before the problem was figured out and fixed. Very well done. I will use this co. in the near future.

The overall experience was excellent. The technician was professional, willing to show me what he was doing and how to fix it the next time.

James Ebner from Britt Rice Electric came back to my home for the second time. I requested Mr. Ebner come back because he had performed previous work in my home back in July. Fantastic work!! I had odd and end jobs that needed to be done electrical items in my home. Mr. Ebner works fast, is neat, thorough and took the time to explain everything he was doing and why it needed to be done. I am very appreciative of the fact that he works quickly to save the customers money but is thorough and leaves the area where he works clean. Both times I have used Britt Rice I have been found them to provide excellent quality work at a fair price. Mr. Ebner is respectful to everyone he encounters in the home. I have an in-home daycare and he has taken the time to answer the little ones questions while doing his work. I will use this company time and time again! Also, they honor the five percent coupon listed with Angie's list without hesitation. GREAT WORK!!!!

I have an old house that was not wired for the modern world with needs for computers, entertainment centers, the desire to run a washer and dryer at the same time, etc. I contacted Britt Rice Electric and met with Jody who surveyed what I wanted and gave an estimate for the installation. I changed my mind at the last instant about moving the box inside and they graciously worked with my request. We increased the breaker box to 200 amps. I was constantly tripping breakers and needed new circuits. They added two new circuits in the living room (4 plugs), a circuit in the kitchen (I can now run the microwave and coffee maker without tripping a breaker), and most importantly 4 new circuits in the garage. Now my washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, and garage door opener can now have their own circuit. We also added two outdoor circuits, one in the front and one in the back. The two workmen showed up promptly, were highly professional and competent. The first day they worked until it just got too hot in the attic. They were back exactly when promised the next morning and finished rapidly. I was only briefly without power when they installed the new breaker box. I am overjoyed with the results. I wish I had done this years ago. I will use Britt Rice Electric again!!

I would give them an A overall. I would use them in the future.
