    James was very professional and explained everything to me. He was able to install the surge protector same day. Explained all the warranties. Would highly recommend him and Shirley Electric Company to anyone in the area.

    I highly recommend James B. from Shirley Electric Company! James responded in a timely manner. He listened carefully to my concerns, determined what needed to be done, and then persevered to complete a complicated job. He tested his work, cleaned the work area—even patched and painted! I am extremely pleased with his work. If you need an electrician, James from Shirley Electric Company is the gentleman you need!!!

    James Bliss of Shirley was a real treat to meet. As a coastal realtor, I have seen some strange electrical boxes, James has seen it all. His local knowledge and electrical expertise really helped me in making a decision to move forward with a potential house purchase. The trip charge is worth every penny - I think he will deduct it from any work you may contract. I really appreciated him taking time to chat not just about electrical systems, but also about some uniquely Lockhart lore. 100% recommend Shirley Electric :)

  • Review 4 (2024-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    James was absolutely great. Another local electrician did a shotty job on my hot tub hook up and James came to the rescue. He will definitely be on my radar for future electrical needs!

  • Review 5 (2024-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    Jim is very professional and reliable. I use him for all of my personal and rental property electrical needs. Theres no job too small for him to handle! Thank you Jim!

  • Review 6 (2024-09-25 - Rating: 5)

    I received same day superlative service from Shirley Electric. The scheduling service was prompt, courteous and seamless, and I had an immediate text confirmation of my appointment followed shortly thereafter by a phone call from Master Electrician, Jim. He is very kind and expressed empathy for my situation, and upon his arrival got right to work investigating my problem and educating me every step of the way. He is a seasoned master, and was able to spot details and other problems at a glance, and he fixed the hazard I knew about plus 2 others that I didnt know about. I had braced myself for horror story pricing (having been married to a serviceman who would NEVER hire another serviceman, out of pride) and you know what? It wasnt horrible at all! It was completely attainable, and well worth the fee. If you or your spouse👀 has been hesitant to hire a pro because of the expense, just call Jim anyway and see what he says. Seriously, Ive spent more on Temu and benefitted less. 🤭

  • Review 7 (2024-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    Jim has been doing excellent work for years. I needed an outlet installed for my welding machine so I called for an estimate and he was out the same day. Plug installed and ready for use the same day I called. Fantastic.

  • Review 8 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    I live in Lockhart, Texas. There was an accident involving a food delivery truck in front of my house which pulled the electrical wires off my house. Not only was James first on the scene with the first responders, he knew someone would need electrical help immediately. He gave his card to the fireman, the fireman then gave it to me. Later that morning, I called James and he was back at my house within 30 minutes to repair the damage. James was kind, professional and very knowledgable during a very stressful situation. I highly recommend Shirley Electric!

  • Review 9 (2024-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    We had an issue with our breaker tripping constantly. I called several places with no call back except for Shirley Electric. They got back to us in a timely manner and set up an appointment that same call. We really appreciated the level of knowledge, patience and professionalism of our electrician who was sent to us. James is the best and will definitely ask for him in the future.

  • Review 10 (2024-11-11 - Rating: 5)

    James showed up when he said he would and the work that was done was very professional at an affordable price. Well definitely be calling them again when we need more work done.

  • Review 11 (2024-11-18 - Rating: 5)

    Mr. Bliss was a big help finding the problem we were having with our power supply. I had 2 other Electric outfits look at the same problem. Mr. Bliss found an issue no other outfit found. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you Shirley Electric for getting our facility back up and powered.

  • Review 12 (2024-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    Mid-March 2024 was my first time to hire Shirley Electric. Im very glad I did. James is great to work with. Hes punctual, hes great with follow-up, he comes in and gets the work done. Hes very friendly, but hes there to work and not to chit-chat. Ive scheduled him again for June.

  • Review 13 (2024-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    James Bliss will get the job done!! Fast and professional. Shirley Electric is my go to company!!

  • Review 14 (2024-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    Shirley Electric Company did a great job for me. I lost electricity in two rooms in the middle of the afternoon. James came and fix the problem before 5 o’clock. He was nice, professional, personable, and did a great job. I recommend them for any electrical need.

  • Review 15 (2023-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    We had a great experience with these folks! After a power failure overnight in our recently purchased old home, with the outside temp rapidly headed to 104+, I was panicked about getting good help and fast. I posted on a local community page for recommendations and one of their techs, James, suggested I try Shirley Electric. I gave them a call as soon as they opened & they fit me in (on a Friday!) at 11. James was actually able to arrive even earlier at 10. He was courteous, professional, and very easy going about me hovering and asking many, many questions. (If Im going to be a knowledgeable homeowner, I want to know the nitty-gritty details!) I appreciate how straightforward he was about what *had* to be fixed now, and what could wait and for how long. He gave me a number of helpful tips for things to prepare for considering the age of our electrical systems. Our power was back after some quick diagnosis and repair of our breaker conduit. Even with the need to call in the city for the transformer end of things, James made everything happen quickly, while still keeping me informed. Shirley Electric has my business when were ready for the next stage of fixing up the electrical at this old house!

  • Review 16 (2024-05-12 - Rating: 5)

    When our meter loop was ripped off the house, James B. of Shirley Electric got out to our house within hours. He got the meter loop restored and waited for the electric company to restore power. He made sure everything was the way it should be before he left. He was friendly and informative. We really liked his work, and will call Shirley Electric any time we may have another problem.

  • Review 17 (2024-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    I recently needed a good electrician to come to my house on short notice. The morning after my initial call, James, the owner, arrived at my house. He was able to fix the problem in a few miniutes and also educated me along the way. He assisted in looking at a few other potential issues inside the house and gave his suggestions on how to fix them. I fully recommend anyone else using their service. James is a solid dude and definitely knows his stuff.

    If you need help with your electrical problems, just call Shirley Electric Co. in Lockhart, Texas!Im a recent 75+ year old widow and needed help with some overhead lights, fans, switches and outlets. I was very concerned with an electrical fire starting somewhere. After reading the reviews on Shirley Electric Co. I knew I had to call them and the next morning the electrician, Mr. James Bliss was at my door. He listened to all my concerns and did an inspection of my electrical panel and proceeded from room to room. He explained problems he found and fixed it. Its such a relief to know that everything is in good working condition now. Shirley Electric Co. provided excellent service with an outstanding electrician, thank you Mr. James Bliss!

I will be having more work done in the near future and I am definitely going to call him back. You would not be disappointed with his company.

  • Review 24 (2024-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    The technician was AWESOME!! Came out on a Sunday and resolved the issue. The price wasn’t bad either for an on weekend call!! I would rate him a 20 for his friendliness, knowledge and empathy.

  • Review 25 (2023-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    James showed up and did an amazing job. He took the time to make sure that we understood what he was doing. He was honest and clearly admitted that my 80+ year old house had him stumped for a minute. He figured out how to fix the problem safely and made sure that we understood how the house is wired. Id gladly pay the price I did for such complete service.

He came out same day, gave me a bid that afternoon, and returned the following morning to do the repair. He was very professional and kind and absolutely someone I highly recommend. Thank you James and Shirley Electric!!

  • Review 37 (2023-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    Arrived early, very professional and courteous, and went directly to the issues at hand without hesitation because - his words - The clocks ticking, lets get this done. Good personality, explained everything thoroughly, and taught me some things in the process. All this, and for less $$ than I anticipated.I would give Six Stars if I could.

  • Review 40 (2022-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    James installed our new light fixtures in only 45 minutes. He had excellent communication and service. I will definitely be calling Shirley Electric Company for my electrical needs in the future.

  • Review 41 (2019-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    I had them install a whole-house surge protector. James was very good. He had to do quite a bit of extra work after he gave me a quote and he added only the cost of extra parts. Did lots of extra, unrelated service for us while he was here. He was great to work with. Professional, friendly, and excellent at his craft. (I got the surge protector for lightning protections, but it has already made a difference -- my power load is much smoother now. No blinking lights when the A/C starts up, for instance.)

  • Review 42 (2023-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Very pleased with the prompt and professional service. Quickly replaced the plugs and switches that we called about and went above and beyond to fix an issue with our light fixture that we hadn’t even noticed. Highly recommend!

  • Review 50 (2020-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    Wow, so pleased. The guy with this company who just fixed our issue didn’t realize I called an electrician out earlier who declined the job because he had no idea how to fix a simple fuse and was about to charge us at minimum $4,000.00. Doing research, probably more like $25,000.00. The guy left in a hurried huff and claimed we needed to instead call a plumber and that the whole house electric would need repair. I was so confused. I called this guy and he happened to be able to stop by the same day. I said nothing to this guy about what happened earlier. Turns out he was dead wrong, no $25 grand bill. $270 later and a fixed water heater, we are overjoyed. Thank you for doing a good and honest job.
