“Taylor did a great job installing a bonding wire for our CSST line, replacing a breaker, and adding a surge protector to our panel. He was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough, and I’d definitely recommend him for electrical work!”

“We are very pleased with the service provided by Archetype Electric. Taylor was very professional and personable. He showed up immediately and and gave a detailed estimate and explanation of the problem. He was able to schedule and begin work very quickly. The work done was very detailed and comprehensive. He totally reworked the inside electrical panel and the outside meter and connections. Things are working better than the did before. We now the have peace of mind that we didn't have before. No more power surges or outages. We highly recommend Archetype Electric.”

“Taylor wired my Airbnb cabin, a workshop and 40 ft metal garage. His work is outstanding and meticulous. His attention to detail is rare in an industry that tends to want to rush the job. You can't get any better dependability or knowledgeable electrician than Taylor and his crew. Archetype Electric sets the quality bar high. I will certainly use Archetype again and I highly recommend them.”

“Taylor did an excellent job on our home electrical upgrades. The workmanship was top-notch, communication was great, and everything passed inspection without issue. I would gladly hire Taylor again and highly recommend his services.”

“I recently had Taylor from Archetype Electric handle several electrical upgrades, including installing GFCI outlets, bidet toilets, smart Wi-Fi switches, and outdoor fixtures. He did a fantastic job, was thorough in explaining the work, and even helped me understand my electrical panel issues. The service was reasonably priced, and he was easy to work with. Highly recommend!”

“Taylor was amazing! Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, he went above and beyond (thats an attic joke) for the installation we requested. It's an older house and rife with "thats weird I wonder why they did it that way" surprises literally everywhere. We will absolutely use Taylor and Archetype Electric again for any and all future needs. Our apologies to Taylor, you will have to see our Frankenstein's Monster-house again.”

“Taylor was AWESOME!!!! Great job installing our exterior outlet with dedicated circuit along with the lighting transformer and four light system!! Highly recommend!!!!”

“We had an excellent experience working with Taylor and his team. He installed our custom sconces and new light fixtures flawlessly, fixed our track lighting, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done safely and correctly. What really stood out was his attention to detail and commitment to safety. He took the time to check that all of our outlets were properly grounded and explained things clearly along the way. His work was clean, efficient, and high quality, and he was professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We are so grateful with the work he completed and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy electrician.”

“Taylor installed an EV charger us today. He was quick, professional, and knowledgeable. He even stuck around to make sure it linked to my phone properly. Would highly recommend, and will be using his services again.”

“Taylor did really a lot of good jobs, I recommend his service for who look for a professional electrician.”

“We are extremely pleased with the work Taylor did to upgrade our main electrical panel. We had a small 100A panel that had zero room for expansion and Taylor upgraded us to a 200A panel and brought several things up to current electrical code. In addition to that, he also found and corrected a grounding issue that had been present and unnoticed by past electricians since the house was built in the early 70's! I'm a stickler for detail and so is Taylor and I really appreciated how he not only was very knowledgeable of what needed to be done, but he took pride in his work to make everything look clean and efficient while being mindful of future access and maintenance. I do most home repairs/upgrades myself but was very glad I left this one to an absolute professional. The best part of working with Taylor was his willingness to explain everything thoroughly. I had lots of questions and he took the time to answer every one of them. I would not hesitate for a second to call on Taylor again. Thanks so much!!”

“Loving the upgraded kitchen lights/fixture Taylor did for me! He took what I envisioned and brought it to life. You can tell he takes pride in what he does and had great recommendations on what looked best. Will hire again!”

“Great service, great price. They repaired a light switch at one of my Jimmy John’s locations on Jupiter Road in Plano.”

“I had Taylor out to diagnose a flickering primary bedroom light as well as replacing 9 outlets. Taylor was very thorough with his work, taking time to explain everything he was doing and seeing. He also uncovered some shoddy work the previous owner did of cutting out the side of an electrical box and made recommendations on replacing it which I had done. The quality of the work was excellent and I would not hesitate to use Archetype Electric again in the future. Edit: Taylor also came out to swap out our electrical panel, meter base, add an external disconnect, and install a 14-50 outlet for our EV charger. He was knowledgeable on what type of outlets work well for the high power draw of an EV. He did great work all around!”

“Our wired smoke alarms would randomly go off in the middle of the night. Called Archetype Electric. Excellent customer service. Efficient, knowledgeable and reasonable prices. Discussed the problem, came up with a solution that we agreed upon. Had them come back a second time to install a surge protector to protect the whole house. Highly recommend. Update: had Taylor come out again for another job. He placed a new GFCI outlet in the bathroom - ran a new line from the circuit breaker. Higher recommend Taylor. Knows what he is doing, efficient, personable and reasonable.”

“Taylor did great work! He communicated clearly and gave us a good price on replacing three Federal Pacific panels for our church. He’ll be the first guy I call with any future electrical needs!”

“Great experience! Taylor is an excellent communicator and electrician. He was punctual and easy to work with. I suggest you give him a call if you need electrical work done!”

“Taylor did an outstanding job adding lights to our garage. He is on point with his communication, timeliness and quality of work. He discusses your needs and then proposes solutions. Highly recommended”

“I was referred to Archetype by a friend of mine who had previously had work done on their house. I needed help replacing a recessed ceiling light with a chandelier and Taylor came in and walked me through the whole process, and then beautifully connected everything together. Loving our new foyer lights. He also fixed a random issue with our ceiling fan in one of the bedrooms which was really nice. 10/10 will be using their services again.”

“Taylor came out and did a thorough assessment of our new home and the work needed. He is a honest man and communicates well. He explained everything in detail, which was very helpful. He did high quality work and he has very reasonable prices. We are very pleased with his work and will continue to hire him for future needs. Thanks Taylor!”
