***First Time Customer*** We had a 200 AMP Panel burn early Saturday morning. My husband contacted Barney’s Electric; Barney quickly returned the phone call and agreed to come over the following morning. Barney and Steve arrived at our home on Sunday at 7:00 AM. They completed the job to our satisfaction in a timely and professional manner. Awesome job, definitely a "5 STAR" Company! Thank you, Barney and Steve for taking care of us / our home. We will gladly recommend “Barney’s Electric” to our friends and family!

Today is Easter Sunday, 2018. All weekend I had been suffering terrible electrical problems at my home. I sent a message to Barney's Electric, hoping that I would hear from them on Monday, but not really expecting a response until Tuesday at the earliest. Well, Barney himself called me within 15 minutes of posting the message. He told me that it did not sound like a problem inside the house. Rather, it sounded like a problem with the power transmission company, Oncor. I sent a message to Oncor and 20 minutes later there was an Oncor truck parked in front of my house and a man was working on the underground power lines. They just completed repairs and everything is back to normal. If Barney's had not been an honest and scrupulous company, this would have been a great opportunity to let me have it. Instead, he responded to my problem in a few minutes ON EASTER SUNDAY, and would not let me pay him anything for his advice/service. There is one thing for sure. When I need service for an electrical problem, I will call one company and one company and only one.....Barney's in Rockwall, Texas. And while I'm at it, Kudos to Oncor as well for their prompt and efficient response!
Description of Work: I had a terrible problem with electric power being interrupted periodically, everything from the televisions to the HVAC,

I had an excellent experience with Barney and his crew. They did a great job at our new home. My line of work requires me to work with all kinds of contractors, for Jobs from a couple hundred dollars, all the way to over a million dollars. I think I have seen it all and I can say that these guys know what they are doing. They are honest, meticulous and their pricing is very reasonable. I just moved to this area and didn't really know anyone I could trust. I did a lot of research, and I am glad I found Barney. I will hire him again within the next couple of weeks and for future projects in my new home. Jose Tamayo Rockwall Texas.

I called the emergency service number to get a breaker fixed. The water heater breaker was out and after going without hot water for two days, we were feeling rather desperate. Barney referred me to the website to fill out a form to request service. He then said he call me back the next day to make an appointment. My advice - don’t offer emergency service if you’re not going to do it.

Barney called before our appointment time and asked if I was available for an earlier time slot. I agreed, so he came early. He performed troubleshooting on the outlet, replaced it with a new GFI outlet that I had on hand, and then replaced that with a standard outlet that he had since it would be protected by another GFI on the circuit. The work took about half an hour and the new outlet works. He decided not to charge me since the work was so simple and I had the Angie's List coupon for no trip charge. I'll definitely plan to call Barney's again for future work.

Response from Barney's Electric
When we received the call we advised the client to check that the breakers were not tripped. We were advised that this had been done. We thwn made the service call I checked two outlets and discovered the breaker was tripped. I reset the breaker and advised tenamt to call if they experienced any more issues.I am sorry you feel the charge was excessive.

Electrician came on time as promised. Quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. Charge was just minimum for showing up. Second issue was on a new home purchase. Barney took my call after hours when the problem was found right before close. I needed to know right away if there was a problem. Barney was able to tell me from pictures everything was OK, no charge! I will not go to anyone else for electrical.
Description of Work: Dead outlet and ceiling light 1st time. Electrical panel did not seem to be grounded right was 2nd call.

Barney, Chris and Jason arrived promptly--actually several minutes early, which was fine with me. They started the work immediately, each knowing his particular job and working quietly and smoothly as a team. Within a short time, everything was in place and working beautifully. It was clear to me that the work detail had been thought out before the team's arrival; I really appreciated this. I will be using Barney's services again and would highly recommend these services to anybody in need of a reliable electrician. My thanks to Barney, Chris and Jason for a job well done.

It went well, he came out on a Sunday and was happy to do it, our AC air handler didn't have power and with it being July (in Texas), he was a life saver. He was quick, efficient and easy to talk to as well.

I called up Barney and was able to get an estimate over the phone, unlike the other company that I had called. On the day of service, they came and got right to work. Barney and Jason fastened 3 outlet boxes that were loose in our kitchen. (The tabs were broken.) In our bedroom, the ceiling fan lights were no longer working when we flipped the switch. They tested the light assembly and it was fine. They traced the problem to the light switch in the wall and replaced it. They worked efficiently and were done with everything in about an hour.

I called Barney on a Saturday morning expecting to leave a message for a call back on Monday. I was surprised that Barney answered my call. I was able to send him a list of my needs using his website. Barney called me the following Monday morning to schedule a date for the work to be completed. Barney and his associates arrived on time and were very courteous and professional. They replaced several electrical outlets and a light fixture, added an outlet where I needed it, repaired two ceiling fans and installed a ceiling fan on my patio. All of this was done in about 3 hours. I mentioned to one of the associates (Rusty) that the plug on my expensive hair dryer was burned up. He helped me located a replacement plug online. I called Barney when I received the plug, and he and Rusty came by and replaced the plug on the hair dryer (no extra charge). Thanks to Rusty, I'm so happy that I didn't have to trash this expensive hair dryer!!!! Barney's Electric is definitely who I'll go to for future electrical needs!
