Purcell Electric Inc

Purcell Electric Inc works as electricians based in Dripping Springs, Texas. The outfit got started in 1984 when Bob Purcell set up shop after serving as a master electrician and inspector for the City of Austin. His son Todd joined forces and earned his master electrician license too. They grew the business from a two-man operation into a fleet of over ten vehicles that handle jobs across the Texas Hill Country and farther out. Since 2021 they have been certified to sell, install, and service Generac generators along with transfer switches and other backup power gear. The crew stays current on code changes and utility rules while keeping the focus on straightforward electrical fixes for homes and businesses in the area.

Electricians from the company step in on home remodels to finish wiring that previous contractors left hanging, and they handle warranty repairs on Generac units by showing up with parts and completing the job on the spot. Technicians like Ryan and Rick have returned for repeat calls on the same properties, while Ricky, Travis, and supervisor Josh Barnes have serviced older generators by testing units, explaining manual operation, and making sure owners know how the system ties together. They also manage portable generator setups and EV charger installs, sending crews that arrive prepared and wrap up without extra trips back to the shop.

Homeowners keep calling because the work holds up without callbacks, the crews answer questions on the spot, and they show up when promised even for last-minute generator fixes. Reviews note fast response times on warranty calls and clear explanations during service visits that leave customers confident in their equipment. That consistent performance across quality, speed, and communication lines up with the high marks from every review. DIRT Score 4.17 from 13 reviews on Finds.

“Purcell Electric has been an absolute pleasure to work with during our home remodel project. Due to a number of unfortunate events, we were left with a significant amount of unfinished work by another electrical contractor. When many other companies refused to work on anything that was originally put in by another contractor, Ryan and Purcell Electric came out, carefully inspected all of the previous work, and provided us a quote to get completed, while also fixing a number of issues they identified. Every technician we have had the pleasure of working with has been respectful, clean, and timely. I can confidently recommend Purcell electric to anyone in the Austin area, and plan to use them in the future.”

“Gave them a call regarding a warranty repair for my Generac generator, as they are an authorized representative. They were on site an hour later with the replacement parts and got it done in a beat. They were professional, fast, and answered some questions I had. Overall 5 star service, I will be calling them for all my future electric needs.”

“Ryan and Rick are EXCELLENT. Professional, personable, punctual. Third time Purcell has completed work. Highly recommend.”

“I appreciate doing business with certified Generac technicians. Ricky and Travis offered the utmost courtesy and know-how on servicing my older generator. Josh Barnes, the supervisor, and Ricky went the extra mile to assure I understood how everything works together and how to manually test my unit. Congratulations! Job well done! Rafael C.”

“Purcell came out after our service pole ignited, right after the fire truck left. They were very knowledgeable, professional, and upfront! They even stuck around with me after repairing the entire issue for an amp check! Highly recommend!”
