Brightside Electrical LLC

Brightside Electrical LLC handles electrical work as an electrician based in Lakeway, Texas. Jonathan Gibson runs the company after entering the trade more than ten years ago to support his family. The business provides commercial and residential services across Austin, Texas. This covers design and installation of new electrical systems, rewiring homes and businesses, repair of faulty wiring, service calls, electrical panel work, and lighting installations.

Customers report panel upgrades from 150 amps to 200 amps to support EV chargers along with code updates and conduit runs. Others needed new can lights added to condos and homes, full fixture replacements including chandeliers, security lights plus outlets and wiring run to sheds, power extended to stoves from distant breaker boxes, and troubleshooting of shorts in tube lighting or outdoor circuits after storms. Jonathan and Savannah completed these tasks with clean finishes that left spaces looking natural and functional while meeting immediate needs like heater restoration or safe charger setups.

The company responds fast to requests, often within minutes on weekends, and keeps to scheduled windows even in bad weather. Jonathan supplies quotes after quick photo reviews and sticks to those numbers on site. Work runs Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Reviewers note clear explanations of options, careful protection of homes during jobs, and full cleanup afterward. Service stays limited to the Austin area where the listed hours apply.

“Jonathan and Savannah are a great team to work with. Nice,friendly,professional, punctual and very knowledgeable. The job couldn’t have been done better. We had a complete electrical panel rebuild from 150 amps to 200 amps to handle an EV charger level 2. Plus several electrical code updates. (a lot safer now!) They also did perfect conduit work and hardwiring EV charger mounted in garage. Thank you, Ralph and Sarah P.”

“I sent quote requests to 5 different electrical company at the same time on yesterday afternoon (Sunday) and Jonathan was the first one responded me (within 10 mins). After answering a few questions from him, he gave me a very competitive quote and I made an installation appointment with him immediately (Monday 9 am). Today he arrived on time even though the weather was terrible and completed the installation quickly (around 1 hour). After the installation, he patiently adjusted the height of each globe of the chandelier and asked for our feedback. I enjoyed the entire experience and will highly recommend him.”

“Jonathan and Savannah helped me update all the lighting fixtures in my home. They were always on time, incredibly efficient, took care not to cause any damage to my home, and always cleaned up everything for me! I made several mistakes when I ordered my light fixtures. They were so patient and helped me find the correct fixtures for each location. I will always use Jonathan and Savanna for my electrical needs. I highly recommend them!”

“After a recent storm caused an outdoor electrical short, Brightside responded quickly and got us scheduled without delay. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient—definitely our go-to moving forward. (Edited to correct the company name from Brightview to Brightside.)”

“Communication was great, Jonathan provided me an estimate quickly and with a few photos and stayed on budget on site. He was fair and very transparent. They were on time and so fast! Would absolutely use them again.”

“Wonderful job adding can lights to our condo! Jonathan and Savannah did a great job at getting our feedback on everything. The work that was done is beautiful. The lighting in the space looks much more natural now. We love it! We will definitely be using Brightside again!”

“We have had an excellent experience with Jonathan and Brightside! We had several can lights put in, new fixtures installed including chandeliers, new electrical boxes installed and ceiling exhaust fans upgraded and installed without any issues. Jonathan is very attentive to all details and extremely responsive!!”

“Jonathan, the owner, immediately contacted me once I submitted my job request. I was very impressed w/his professionalism & clarifying the job that I wanted completed. His crew did an exceptional job & I will definitely use this company again for future jobs. In addition, his crew was extremely professional & courteous. They installed 2 security lights & ran electricity to my shed. They also installed 2 outlets & light in the shed. Great job Jonathan.”

“A friend got a very competitive quote from Jonathan at Brightside Electrical for installing his EV charger so I checked him out. He also gave me a competitive quote, came out to the house, did an excellent installation, was very professional and helpful. I would definitely use him again.”

“John and Savannah may as well be the Batman & Batgirl of electrical needs! Our absolute household superheroes helped to identify an electrical short in our tube lighting (tombstones where the wires insert) and guided me in-person to a cost friendly solution at Home Depot. I wasn't expecting a duo, but was thrilled to see the chemistry/cohesion between the two as they seamlessly worked down each layer of troubleshooting in record time. I cannot stress the professionalism, punctuality, knowledge, and experience that these two have enough. 1000% recommend, thank you two so much for helping me to not electrocute myself 😂😂😂”

“Excellent work done by John and Savannah! We needed power run to our new stove from the breaker box on the opposite side of the house, John and Savannah made it look easy and left our house looking beautiful. Thank you guys!”

“Jonathan was, hands-down, the best home repair/tradesperson we have ever worked with in over 30 years of homeownership. When we had a near electrical fire because of a much-outdated breaker panel in our 1922 house and Jonathan found out about our situation, he began managing our project at a moment's notice. While larger companies were wanting to set up appointments for the future, Jonathan immediately understood the emergency nature of our problem and instantly engaged with our project with photos and questions. He proceeded to coordinate the permits needed with the city and the energy department right away, and he even drove to the city office in person to move our work along faster when city office workers didn't return his calls. He communicated clearly about the process every step of the way; he was efficient and on time; and he was a strong advocate for our emergency project with the horrible bureaucracy that is the City of Austin. Thank you, Jonathan!”

“Jonathan and team were prompt to give a detailed quote for the electrical work I needed. Very professional and excellent communicator about time of arrival, etc... Did a really nice job and I will use them again when I rehab my kitchen!”

“Brightside Electrical is simply the best! They have been my go-to electrical service for several years. They are courteous, prompt, efficient, attentive, and personable. Their pricing is beyond fair. Their attention to detail, clean-up and safety concerns is impressive. Kudos to Jonathan, Savannah, Darian and Caleb!”

“I appreciated their timeliness in returning my initial call, the promptness in scheduling the appointment, the professional approach to my electrical issues and their patience in explaining the process to me. As a new business I wish them the best and think they are off to a great start.”

“Jonadan the owner did my electrical work this morning. He was early to the work assignment, did an excellent job on trenching, running low voltage wire and installing 4 spot lights for a HOA entrance sign. Worked quickly to complete the job. Excellent communication throughtout the process. He had the lowest bid among the 4 finalist. I am having him doing another job when he has the time. al”

“They were awesome! Very punctual, super friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to try and help me get all my Ring equipment hooked up. I will definitely be reaching out to them for all my electrical projects!”

“Brightside Electrical Service did a great job. My 82 year old Mom's electricity went out in half of her house, which cause the heater to not work. The Electrician was prompt, professional and COVID19 compliant. Thank you for the fast response and excellent service. I will for sure use your company for future need and will also recommend to others.”

“Excellent work. Jonathan came and cleaned up problems another electrician left when he walked off the job. Jonathan is honest, hardworking, and considerate. We will hire him again.”

“Contacted them on a Wednesday and via texts they determined the problem and solution. Came out the next day within the window of time estimated. Jonathan and Joshua were pleasant, courteous, professional, and explained things to me in terms I could understand. Very happy with the response time and service.”
