Barney’s Electric

Our house was struck by lightening and we were having electrical issues around the house. We called Barney’s for the first time after seeing one of his trucks the day prior. They were here within an hour and had all my problems solved in a very short matter of time. I would highly recommend this company and I plan to use them again on any electrical issues I may have.

I have used Barney’s twice now at my rental property — once to «fix» a problem caused by my handy man, who assured me he was using a «licensed electrician», and once to install 3 ceiling fans. I have to say, I’ve had pretty bad experiences with some electricians in the past — they didn’t look or act professional — I didn’t really want them in the house. But Barney and his team are clearly professionals — from their demeanor, to their uniforms, to the truck — you know you are dealing with someone who has been doing this for a while and will be around quite a while longer. They quickly took care of both my jobs, and the price was very reasonable — not the cheapest, not the most expensive. Both times I felt like I had received good service for a fair price. I will be using Barney’s again very soon in my own home, and I’ve already recommended him to a friend who owns several rental properties, and is always needing a reliable electrician.

Barney & his technician showed up about 10 minutes early and knocked the jobs out quickly! Both were very nice and easy to talk to, and his technician even offered to help carry a few things out to my car as I was moving them. I would definitely recommend Barney and his team for your electrician needs!

Barney and his technician showed up at our home to replace our breaker box on time (actually 15 minutes early) and 4 hours later, had the task completed with the power back on. The inspector just left and all went well. As you may know, replacing a main box in a home calls for experienced electricians and it can be expensive. I’m pretty confident Barney gave us a fair price and he (and his technician) did a very professional job. Of course, he wanted me to be sure I wrote a review… and I’m happy to have done so. Hope you’ve found it useful!

Ok first some background. I am a absolute magnet for terrible home contractors. People who dont show up, quote low then jack up their rates. Pretty much as bad as it all gets. That said, Barney (and Rusty) have been the only saving grace for a complete dismissal of all work to my house.
I had a decent size job to do, 3 outlets dropped to a patio/​pergola, 4 gang plug run to storm shelter and one to rear of shelter for a sump pump. A transfer switch for a generator and a whole house surge protector.
A job that should have taken a day took 5.5 hours. They showed up on time, even reworked the transfer switch when we found i incorrectly labeled the circuits.
All in all bang up job thanks a lot!

Barney was great we bought a home with a faulty control panel and he came out to replace it
He had obstacles (nice garage shelving) in the way. I told him to take it down and not worry about it.
Not only did he replace the control panel but replaced the shelf
I like the fact the owner works every job
Thanks Barney

We have used Barney’s Electric for 17 years. He is the best there is. Fair prices and custom professional service. Large or small jobs, this is the only electrician we trust our home to. Goes out of the way to accommodate your schedule and excellent follow-​up on the work.

i hired barney to check out the status of my overall electrical system at a business i own. he and his men arrived early and were working when i arrived. when i met the man i knew i liked him. he’s just one of those kinds of people. more than that, i had a feeling i had made the right choice. i’m normally pretty critical of service providers because i’ve had more than my shard of sharks. let me tell you, he is not one of those kinds. the way he and his 2 helpers discussed things i could tell there was a mutual trust and open open to opinions from and to his employees. he was down to earth had a positive attitude as well as a harmless joking manner.
he and his men took at look at my breaker boxes and critiqued the way it was set up. there was 1 or 2 minor concerns that were taken care of on the spot. then they went into the attic on this hot august morning. they found minor problems there, but overall things looked pretty good.
barney will be the first person i call when i need any electrical work done at either my home or business.

Barney is a nice guy. He is good at what he does for sure. I think what impressed me most was his focus on the customer. He called me back if I left a message very quickly. He showed up when he said he would. He did what he said he would do, and he charged me what he said he would charge me. My electrical issues were not simple, but he wasn’t hesitant to take the job and work through the issues very quickly. To Mr. 1star below, that’s funny! I think I might’ve kept it to myself personally. Travel, labor, and liability have a price tag.

Barney and his team came in and knocked out my list of issues quickly. I was referred by my real estate agent bc I needed to fix some things before I could sell my house. I was extremely impressed with his crew. They got to work immediately and I felt like I got a great price on what was done.

If you call Barney’s Electric, you’ll get Barney himself at your house! Locally & owner operated, you’ll get the best quality service! Barney was great — punctual (even early!), efficient (has an hourly charge and he gets everything you need done for you in the first hour if possible), and skilled! He is very good at what he does, and I’m not surprised after I found out he has traveled around the world as an electrical repair technician for a large machinery company. In addition, he provides exceptional customer service — a few days after his service call to my home, I had problems with the installation of a smoke alarm, called him up, and he made the time to come back and fix it for me without charging me a dime extra! I am so grateful to him for being so accommodating!
Last, and noteworthy, is his competitive pricing! Though I like to support small businesses, because I am on a tight budget, I called some other service providers to check on their prices. I found out that electricians, understandably, are not cheap! But Barney was at least 5% cheaper than a larger competitor.
I definitely recommend Barney’s Electric services to the Rockwall community! He’s also a pretty cool guy, try to catch a glimpse of his belt when you call him to your home — i didn’t get the chance to ask him, but I’m sure there’s an interesting story behind it! :)
