 We have some "shockingly" good news to share with our neighbors!

To better serve our community and make it easier than ever for you to find us, Thomas Russell Electric LLC is officially growing. We are now also operating as Russell Electric and Leander Electric.

While the names on the trucks might give you more ways to find us, the heart of the company remains exactly the same: quality work, honest prices, and a team that actually shows up.



Why This Matters for You

We know that when an outlet sparks or the lights go out, you don’t want to wait three days for a callback. By expanding our reach under these new names, we are doubling down on our commitment to being the fastest responders in the area.

The "No-Nonsense" Difference

In an industry full of hidden costs, we like to keep things transparent. Here is what sets us apart from the "other guys":

  • Expert Troubleshooting: We specialize in home service calls. If it’s broken, we find out why—and we fix it fast.

  • No "Rush" Upcharges: We don't believe in penalizing you for an emergency. We do not charge same-day fees.

  • Fair After-Hours Pricing: Electricity doesn’t wait for 9-to-5, and neither do we. We never charge extra for after-hours calls.

Beat the Leander Heat: Style Meets Performance 🌬️

 

There’s nothing I appreciate more than a familiar face! This week, I had the pleasure of returning to a local client’s home in Leander to help them prep for the warmer months ahead.

When you find a fixture that works, you stick with it. We installed two 65" Minka Aire Extreme fans in a crisp, white finish. If you’re looking to move a massive amount of air without sacrificing that clean, modern aesthetic, these fans are an absolute game-changer for large living spaces.

More Than Just "The Tough Stuff"

While my day-to-day at Russell Electric often involves the "heavy lifting"—think complex troubleshooting, panel upgrades, and those "how did that happen?" electrical repairs—I always enjoy circling back to regular clients for high-quality fixture installations.

Whether it’s a high-end fan or a custom lighting layout, these finishing touches are what make a house feel like a home.

Why Leander Homeowners Trust Russell Electric

When you call an electrician, you want to know the job is done right the first time. Here is what sets my service apart:

  • Master Electrician Expertise: Your home isn’t a practice ground for a trainee. You get the skills and oversight of a Master Electrician on every single call.

  • Owner-Occupied Focus: I understand that I’m working in your sanctuary. I treat every home with the same respect and cleanliness I’d expect in my own.

  • Licensed & Professional: Total peace of mind is part of the package. (TECL #29761)

Ready to Upgrade Your Space?

Whether you have a flickering light that’s driving you crazy, a circuit that keeps tripping, or a new sleek fan ready to be hung, I’m here to help.

📍 Serving Leander, TX and the surrounding areas.

Don't wait for the Texas heat to catch up—give me a call today!

From Elk to Electrician: The Evolution of Russell Electric (and My Garage!)

 

For over a decade, my "in-between" looked a lot different than it does today. Since 2010, I’ve been accumulating, learning, and building. My garage, once a testament to a life fully lived – packed with everything from the heavy-duty scissor lift to the military Humvee trailer, and yes, even the elk heads from memorable hunts – told a story of projects, passions, and constant motion. Each item, whether earned on a hunt or acquired for a shop, represented a chapter.

There was a time the garage held a prized Harley, symbolizing freedom and adventure. I’ve owned that lift, worked on it, learned from it, and eventually moved it on. Every piece was a part of the journey, a lesson learned, or a memory made.

But as any Master Electrician knows, true power comes from focus. I realized that my most valuable assets weren't the "baller" gear in the garage, but the tools in my truck and the dedicated focus I bring to every electrical panel. I've sold the trailer, streamlined the shop, and eventually even the Harley found a new home.

Now, what remains in the Russell Electric garage are the essentials: the ladders, the specialized tools, and a clear, uncluttered space ready for tomorrow's work. It's a testament to the fact that while adventures and projects are valuable, my commitment to powering your homes and businesses in Leander and Cedar Park is paramount.

I've seen a lot of sunrises since 2010—some from a deer blind, some from the highway. Today, every sunrise is dedicated to bringing reliable, expert electrical service to our community.

What's in your garage that needs a little light?
