Simms Electrical Services

Simms Electrical Services handles electrical work across Austin and nearby spots like Lakeway, Bee Cave, Steiner Ranch and West Lake Hills. They cover both homes and commercial sites with panel upgrades, EV charger installs, indoor and outdoor lighting, surge protection, generator setups, rewiring and general repairs and troubleshooting. Licensed master electricians run the jobs and the company keeps regular weekday hours from eight in the morning until five.

Customers call them for sudden breaker failures, full fuse box swaps, new 400 amp service racks with meter bases and RV outlets, plus EV charger hookups on new land. Reviewers mention Kurt walking through big installs from start to finish, getting everything aligned and passing inspection without extra trips. Other jobs include quick circuit breaker fixes, outlet additions for plug-in hybrids and sorting out blinking kitchen lights that turned out to be age-related panel trouble. In each case the crews showed up with the right parts and finished without leaving a mess.

They answer calls fast and often reach the site in under an hour for outages. Reviewers note clear explanations during the work, on-time arrivals every visit, and straight talk about what needed doing. The company covers the greater Lake Travis area on weekdays and keeps upfront pricing so there are no surprises at the end. Service stays limited to those regular business hours with weekends off.

The Google rating sits at five stars from two hundred five reviews. People keep mentioning the same points: quick arrivals, solid knowledge on the job, clean work areas and reliable follow-through on both small repairs and bigger upgrades.
