Eskew Electric

Eskew Electric has operated as a local electrician outfit in Austin since 2008. They run out of Old Manchaca Road and cover homes from central Austin and downtown spots through south side neighborhoods like Bouldin Creek, Zilker, and Travis Heights, plus areas out to Circle C, Manchaca, Dripping Springs, Buda, and Kyle. Their work centers on residential electrical repairs and upgrades that match what Austin houses need, whether it's older properties in Tarrytown or newer builds facing heavy load demands from air conditioning and added circuits. Homeowners call them for straightforward electrical fixes without the runaround.

They handle jobs like running a NEMA 6-50 outlet in a garage for charging gear, swapping out old breaker panels for a full 200-amp upgrade on both inside and outside service, and putting in whole house surge protectors. One crew with Alden, Adrian, Damien, and Robbert knocked out a panel replacement quickly while keeping the homeowner updated on every step. Tanner showed up for a surge protector install, spotted a mismatched breaker on the AC unit from a prior job, and corrected it on the spot. They quote on the same day after inspection, show up when scheduled, and lay out options clearly so the customer can pick what fits the budget and needs.

Customers keep coming back because the work holds up, the crews move fast without dragging out the job, and the prices stay well below what other outfits try to charge. Reviews highlight clear talk from start to finish, honest explanations of what needs fixing, and attention to details like proper breaker sizing that prevents bigger headaches later. Speed, quality, fair cost, and steady communication all score at the top. DIRT Score 5.0 from 103 reviews on Finds.

“Eskew Electric made the whole process easy from start to finish. They came out quickly to inspect the job, gave me a same-day quote with multiple options to compare, and communicated clearly throughout. Scheduling was simple, they showed up on time, and installed a NEMA 6-50 outlet in my garage with about a 40-foot run from the main panel. On install day, the team was professional, efficient, and able to work autonomously without needing much from me. They finished the job in just a few hours, the work was clean, and everything worked exactly as expected. They even followed up a couple days later to make sure everything was still running properly. Overall, a perfect 5-star experience. I’d absolutely recommend Eskew Electric to anyone needing electrical work done.”

“Did a full update on outside and inside breaker panel and upgrade to 200amp for the house. Worked quickly and professionally. Their quote was half the price of competitors that were trying to price gouge. Can’t recommend enough, will only go to them for any electrical work. See attached picture for before and after. .”

“I had a great experience with Alden, Adrian, Damien, and Robbert. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and worked together seamlessly throughout the project. What stood out most was their honesty and attention to detail. They took the time to explain their findings, helped me understand that our GFCI protection was already functioning properly, and focused only on the upgrades that were most critical. They modernized our sub-panel and installed an EV outlet, leaving our new sub panel very clearly labeled. I’ll definitely reach out to Eskew Electric the next time I need help with electrical work around the house.”

“Wanted a whole house surge protector installed. They sent out Tanner who was great! I asked about a lot of other things while he was out, and I had him take a look at one other thing, and it turns out a previous installer had done the wrong breaker for our AC and he was able to fix that too. I'll be having him back to check out a few more things. Their pricing was very reasonable.”

“We needed some lights on our porch so we called Eskew Electric. Tanner came out and talked us through the whole process. He is very knowledgeable in his craft and has great customer service! I have to give him extra kudos for doing this in the summer heat here in Texas!! Thanks Tanner for my beautiful lights!”
