Southern Cross Electric

I hired Southern Cross to do some work on our HOA pool house, we needed more electrical outlets and dedicated circuits to accommodate some new pool equipment we had installed. Their folks came down and did a great job, they managed to take care of several issues that I piled on once they got there.
I met with them on the first visit to show what we needed, then I pitched a few other projects to them (security lighting, entryway landscape lighting replacement). They submitted bids for the extras and after we accepted Southern Cross came back out and took care of the items without requiring any further oversight. All of the lights they installed for us look wonderful, exactly as we discussed.
It's great to find a company you can trust to do a good, honest job without needing someone there to watch them all the time. I will definitely call them again the next time I need some electrical work done.

We phoned Grant Campbell ( owner) the morning of Thanksgiving Day (power suddenly went out to our electric hot water heater) Grant had an electrician out to our home within 30 minutes. Very efficient and courteous young man named Seymour. Quickly diagnosed and repaired the problem. From the time we initially called to having the repairs completed was under two hours on a major holiday !
My wife and I were thrilled and plan to use them for all our future electrical needs.

Southern Cross is a bit of a mixed bag, but honestly I don't think I'll ever call anyone else. They are hard to get on the phone, they communicate a bare minimum of information and they are almost always late if they show up at all. It's aggravating, but once they show up for a job and you get them at the house everyone I've ever had from that company come to my house are nice, jovial, take time to explain any and everything. They are upfront and honest in their dealings and have very fair prices. Most of a all the reason I'll keep calling them over any other electric contractors is that they do GREAT work. They've impressed me, my contractor and even the city inspector who came out for the permit inspection. Just trust that they will eventually call, they will eventually show up and when they do it will be worth it every time.

He did them very quickly and efficiently. He was very friendly and explained everything to me. We have also used him on other jobs.

This is a fantastic company, and Adam in particular is great to work with. These guys came highly recommended from my plumber and I'm so happy I went with them. They went the extra mile for me on things like switching out light switches and such, and when an electrical problem cropped up because I was moving into a very old and vacant house they were out right away. I will be happy to use them again and now have them as the contact in my phone for future work.

We liked the electrician. He updated a couple of things that were old and also did the wiring. However, he was nice, friendly and professional. The price that he charged was great and he was great as well. Somebody else came to our house and told us that it was going to cost us around $5000. They also told us that they had to put new outlets next to the older outlets. They also told us that all the older outlets couldn't be used again. It was basically like re-wiring the entire house and disabling the whole system. It was ridiculous. So, the electrician just fixed whatever needed to be fixed and didn't replace the entire system. It also cost us a lot less money and everything seems fine now.

Not too bad overall. Would've been perfect if trash and old box were disposed of properly. Grant is a nice, down to business fellow.

Southern Cross Electric was great. They were in and out in no time. I really liked that they were available during Hurricane Ike when no other electricians were in town. They are with the green energy plan and were able to complete the work requested even though I have aluminum wiring.

This company came out and did the work at a very good price. They came out in a timely manner, it did take them a few days to get to us but because of the hurricane that was not a problem for us at all. The electrician was very nice and polite and did a great job.

Started out a bit rough. On the day of service, no one showed up. Turns out they had forgotten! After that they showed up, for the most part, on time.

They were very prompt and professional and the price ended up being right in line with the estimate they gave me, I was very happy to find them on Angie's List.

My electricity was out in the living room. No breaker was flipped and I searched everywhere for a GFCI outlet to reset, but could not find one. I called three electricians, and Grant was the only one who answered my call and offered to come out the next day. Although he was originally supposed to come by the house "mid-morning,"Grant got slowed down at another job. He had Adam and another fellow come about 12:30. Although later than I expected, at least they made time for me that day. The other electricians weren't available for days. After checking the breaker and all the outlets, one of the guys found a hidden GFCI outlet behind a chair that was the culprit. Since there was no need to have a GFCI outlet in the living room, they switched it out with a regular outlet. They had to charge me for the service call, but that was it.

Excellent service - honest, speedy, and respectful of my property. I have used this company twice since moving to Austin, as recommended by my Realtor, and have been pleased both times.

They were timely, friendly and reasonably priced.

We have been doing a major remodel over the past few months. Most of the work we are able to do ourselves, but sometimes we needed to hire out. This was one of those times and all I can say is the service was flawless from start to finish.

I have recommended them to several people already as he came and worked very quickly. He is knowledgeable and professional. He didn t make any mistakes he was very meticulous and neat. There were no problems with any of the work he did and I think they are reasonably priced. I am very happy with the service they gave me and I would keep recommending them.

Southern Cross Electric was fantastic. I can't say enough good things about them. This was a big job and they were quick and efficient. They were also very responsive to questions. They came on time and were very professional. They left no mess.

Grant arrived on time and was very careful not to track in dirt. He had all the materials he needed, the permit, and arranged for the city inspector. He was gone before we arrived home and had completed the work as requested. He was very through in checking the source of our problem and examined work done by a previous electrician. He also corrected an error by the previous electrician. There was a little bit of debris left in the garage and on the ground outside the house, but not much.

Grant responded quickly to my call, scheduled the service call within a few days, arrived early, and promptly diagnosed and repaired the problem. He also noticed a potential problem at my meter box and repaired that. He and his helper were professional, friendly, and efficient.

They did excellent work. Clear in communications, pricing (for 2 electricians) was by the hour (plus parts), not job. One of the electricians had to go pick up part (motor), but other kept on working.

Mr. Campbell and his helper were on time, very efficient, neat, and the charge for 1 hour of work was reasonable.
