McKinney Electrician Reviews
See why homeowners trust ABR Electric for their electrical projects.
"My overall experience with ABR Electric was outstanding from start to finish. They called ahead to confirm our appointment, and the electrician who arrived was incredibly friendly and professional. What truly set them apart was their commitment to safety. After contacting four other electricians, ABR was the only one who not only was willing but actually encouraged pulling a permit and having the work properly inspected."
"We hired ABR Electric to install a 240V Circuit for our new Plug In Hybrid car. ABR was very knowledgable on EV charging circuit requirements (including the differences between NEMA 14-50 and 6-20). The Quoting and Installation process and communication was excellent."
"Used these guys to install a generator at our home. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We'll certainly call them for future electrical needs!"
"ABR recently diagnosed an issue that required replacing an outdoor GFCI outlet. Communication was excellent from start to finish. Friendly office staff and technician both notified me that the tech would arrive earlier than scheduled, which worked great for me."
"After many years in the design, construction, and development business, I can say with confidence that ABR ELECTRIC is excellent! They are superior in quality, timing, and customer care - and have competitive costs."
