Our Story

Building Trust in Austin's Electrical Services

Founded in 2004 by Matt Spannaus, Texas Electric and Light began with a simple mission: to provide honest, reliable electrical services while treating every customer like family. What started as a small operation, it has grown into one of Austin's most trusted electrical service providers, all while maintaining our dedication to personalized service and attention to detail.

With deep roots in the Austin community, we've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. Our growth has been organic – primarily through word-of-mouth referrals from happy customers who appreciate our transparent approach and quality workmanship.

Our expertise spans a wide range of electrical services, from residential projects including home remodels and new construction to commercial installations and repairs. This versatility allows us to handle projects of any size or complexity while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.

Today, Texas Electric and Light continues to serve the Greater Austin area with the same commitment to excellence that has defined us from the beginning. We've expanded our service offerings to meet the evolving electrical needs of our community, from traditional electrical services to modern solutions like EV charger installations and smart home wiring.
