Martin was professional, kind, and up front about pricing. He was able to help the morning after I reached out, solved my issues within the hour. I've never felt more safe as a woman with a man (with whom I'm unfamiliar) in my house - definitely gives girl dad energy. read more

We started using Lykos Electrical a few months ago, and have had nothing but wonderful experiences. He's worked on a few of our rentals installing new electrical, updating old electrical, servicing HVAC units, installing new exhaust fans... I think he does it all. He has excellent communication and is very clean and professional. He takes the time to explain what's wrong and how he's fixing it and is honest about what needs to be fixed. I'll definitely continue using him. read more

Can't say enough good things about Martin and his family. I have been working with Martin for a couple of years now, and he always takes great care of our rental properties and tenants. Before meeting Martin, I had tried working with the bigger companies in town, but I was always disappointed by how they tried to sell me services I didn't need or charge me exorbitant prices for the work that needed to be done. Martin is a total expert at both HVAC and electrical work, and his prices are reasonable. I trust him completely. If he says something needs to be done, I do it without hesitation. Additionally, he is timely and totally professional, so if I can't be at a rental house when the work is done, I'm not worried because I know he will be respectful of my tenant while the work is being done. Highly recommend. read more

We had Lycos Electric come out to install an outdoor camera for us. Martin was quick to respond, provide us a quote, and get us scheduled. He was extremely professional, knew what he was doing, was very respectful of our home and did an amazing job! We'd definitely recommend Lycos and would use them again any time. read more

Martin and his family have taken care of my electrical needs for several years. A few years ago I upgraded my electrical box to 200 amps and GFCI breakers. One of the breakers tripped a couple of times this week and I could not determine why. Martin was available to come check the circuit and the appliance that was causing the problem. The bill for the call was reasonable. My family's safety is important to me so having and electrician I trust and respect is important. I can highly recommend Lykos Electrical and Martin and his family for your electrical needs. read more

I was recommended to Lykos by my realtor when I first bought a home and it was the BEST recommendation ever! Fairly priced, thorough and efficient work and the best communication I've encountered from any contractor! I've had Martin replace two electrical boxes, outdoor GFCI units, indoor replacement of overhead lighting and a proper plug for my new HVAC sump pump. Fair, honest, reliable, incredibly helpful and my word he's tall! He barely needs a ladder in many instances and when you're barely 5'4" that's impressive! I'll be moving and wish I could fly him out to my new home! read more

Lykos is great! Martin and Judah came out to give me a quote and put much more work into figuring out my situation and the possibilities than any other company by far. I received their estimate within a few days and booked the job. They showed up on scheduled day prepared and finished the job fast and within the given quote. They left the work area clean as well as ensuring I was happy with their work. I would totally hire again without question. Highly recommend Lykos. read more

I have been using Lykos for 4 years now - they have replaced my outside AC unit, fixed AC drain issues, made multiple timely maintenance calls, and most recently tested and replaced outside GFCI unit. I have found them always to be extremely knowledgeable, fair, honest, reliable, and helpful. I would and do recommend them to anyone I know. Martin and his son have completed most of the house calls, and I think Martin's daughter does most of the booking...excellent local family business. read more

Martin and his team came back out today to install a second Nest Cam in our backyard (we saw great value in having the front door one!). He and his team installed the camera with great ease, while also advising me of 2-3 areas where the camera would have the most impact. On the way out, Martin was thorough in cleaning up, and even went above and beyond to secure and close up an electrical box in my attic that had some exposed wires (and didn't charge me extra for it, which was nice). Thanks again, Martin! See you again soon! read more

Professional, friendly, thorough, and upfront! I went with Lykos for several reasons. They offer weekend hours and they were upfront about possible costs and repairs over the phone. This is great to help one with planning and budgeting. The serviceman that helped fix our AC unit was Martin and his son. Martin was quick to respond and communicated throughout the process of arriving, potential repairs, and explained what the issue was. They made sure I saw that the unit was working before they left. They were also friendly and professional. You can tell they took the time and thoroughness to do their work. They in no way rushed the process at all. Overall, strongly recommend and will be happy to hire them again in the future for AC/Heating servicing. read more

We called Lykos Electric and AC after a series of events that were out of our DIY scope. Our Trane AC stopped pushing heat at the beginning of winter. We were still diagnosing the issue when an outlet in another part of the house caught fire (likely overloaded by our space heater) and we luckily noticed the smell of smoke. Lykos scheduled 2 appts. and sent an AC tech to the first one and Martin and his son arrived later for the electric issue. All appts were scheduled with text notification and text updates which was very efficient and professional. I was able to ask a few questions via text for clarification, and both teams arrived promptly per their appt. times. But the most important thing is that they were very professional and obviously beyond pros. They had our heat working within an hour. After changing the burned outlet, they diagnosed the culprit which exposed a huge silent problem spanning years. They tightened wires all over the place and made things much more secure, but they also discovered areas that are not fully code compliant (even though previous work had passed inspection). They mapped out the additional work needed for us to get everything up to code and gave us a priority list. I won't consider using anyone else for the next phase of work. Martin and his team are wonderful, dependable, fair and competent. I'm really happy we found them and I'd highly recommend Lykos Electric and AC for any AC or electric work needed. read more

Great service and communication. The technician who serviced our a/c was thorough, knowledgeable and took time to explain his work to my spouse. Highly recommend and look forward to talking to Lykos about some upcoming electrical needs. read more

The service from the team at Lykos was top notch and thorough. There is a glitch somewhere in my house wiring that has caused a series of ceiling lights and wall outlets not to work. They came on two occasions and spent several hours each visit searching through the entire electrical circuitry of the house without finding the glitch. They were not comfortable offering a less-than-safe make-do solution, which I appreciate and respect. They did not charge me for any of their time in this endeavor. I am impressed with their thoroughness, honesty and professionalism and highly recommend them. read more

This is a fantastic family owned business! Today was the first time I used them and I will definitely be using them again! They were able to diagnose and correct a problem with wired smoke alarms that was caused by my tenant disabling the system. I'm very grateful for their professional and competent service! read more

Martin and Lykos did a nice job replacing some old recessed lighting fixtures with some updated fixtures in our living room. It was a small project and I got some crazy quotes from highly Yelp rated competitors. Lykos offered a much more reasonable price and did a great job of keeping our living room clean while doing some messy work. read more

I needed help with a sizable number of small to mid-size electrical projects - from installing canister lights to adding electrical outlets to fixing several problem areas in our electrical box. After vetting 4 companies, I selected Lykos based on their thorough, prompt and reasonable estimate. Lykos showed up on time, did the work efficiently, neatly and on schedule. This is a gem of a family-owned business - at one point I stopped by and they had the father, two sons, a daughter, a cousin, and a family friend all working in concert! Highly recommend. read more

Reliable, dependable and rates are reasonable. Martin has done several jobs for us on our old house and does high quality work. Highly recommended! read more

Great knowledgeable people. Mr. Villalobos came and found what the problem was that our air conditioning system wasn't working. The problem wasn't the air conditioning, it was electrical. Nice people also. read more

Arturo was extraordinarily effective and kind. Martin arranged for him to come to our home immediately upon hearing that we had no AC overnight. The fix was completed for a very fair price and I look forward to call Lykos again for both HVAC and electrical issues. read more

We have used Lykos (father & son company: Martin and Judah) a number of times and we will continue to use them whenever we have electrical problems at our home. They offer a strong work ethic, reasonable prices, strong interpersonal skills, and finish on time. Deliver what they tell us they will deliver. I highly and strongly recommend them. Great people.

Martin and his team do an amazing job. We had an old house with aluminum wiring. They fully rewired it and redid all of our AC duct work for a fair price. Even put in Cat6 Ethernet throughout for us. We ran into issues with our handyman and drywallers but Martin was always patient and helpful, even coming out to fix an AC issue that was separate from the original job. Can't recommend these guys enough if you need work done in the Austin area. read more

We feel lucky to have found yall! Lykos Services was quick to respond to us and come out, easily able to diagnose the problem we were having, and make the repair. They are knowledgeable, transparent, and trustworthy. We would recommend them to our friends and family and they absolutely have our business the next time we need help! read more

I can't say enough positive things about Martin Villalobos and his crews. He was first recommended to me by my realtor when we bought an older home 4 years ago. He has fixed my duct work and my a/c unit before the furnace went kaput and we decided to replace our entire HVAC system. Martin ensured we found the best unit in our price range. His crews were very respectful of our home (protecting the carpet, being quiet especially during the babies naps, arriving on time, explaining everything step by step). Martin has always been easy to get into contact with and has always followed up to ensure everything is working the way it should. I have recommended him to all my family and friends. Martin Villalobos and his company are hardworking and trustworthy. I would give them 10 stars if I could! read more

Lykos has been out to my place twice, once to rewire a room and a second time to diagnose and fix lighting in my hallway and kitchen. Both times were very positive experiences as Martin is very courteous and competent. He went into detail regarding my electrical problems and solutions, so I always understood what he was doing and why. It's hard to find a good electrician for a reasonable rate in Austin which is why I can recommend Lykos without any reservations. read more

Martin and his team are the best! I have had them out to work on my air conditioner a handful of times and couldn't be happier with their customer service and technical expertise. They even followed up a few days after the repair to make sure things were working as they should. read more

This was a fantastic experience. Martin and his crew (son Judah and Arturo or Antonio?) were the 3-man crew throughout. Very knowledgeable, professional and approachable. I had assorted smaller jobs (though they also included upgrading my circuits/electrical panel. I was also impressed with the quote and the fact that my job wasn't "wedged" in between a bigger/more important job. The job was accomplished from start to its finish, as though mine was the only job that mattered. I appreciate that. I would definitely use Lykos again, in fact, I am already starting a list of other projects that I'd like to do. read more

The team at Lykos was wonderful. They were professional, considerate, safety conscious, reliable and did great work. Martin was honest, straightforward and easy to work with. read more

Great service and high quality work. Completely replaced aluminum wiring in 1960's house and brought electrical system up to current code. Minimized damage to drywall, floors, etc. They are a family owned business and take pride in their work. The project lasted months as other aspects of home remodeling interrupted their schedule but they were extremely flexible and responsive. Will definitely use them for all electrical needs in the future. read more

I called Martin when my grandmother's water heater was on the fritz due to electrical panel issues and he was fantastic. Fast, professional, and very responsive. It's really hard to get good tradesmen out to the boonies where my grandmother lives, and he took such good care of her! He also followed up later to check on how the panel was working. Thanks Martin!! read more

Really appreciate the electrical work that Martin and his son completed for us. We will be using them for some upcoming a/c and electrical needs in the near future. read more

We hired Lykos to replace the electric panels on our house after getting quotes with several other electricians in-town. We were very pleased with their promptness, professionalism, and the quality of their work, which far exceeded our expectations. On two occasions our house threw then some curve-balls and they were able to adapt quickly. They were also affordable and worked efficiently to minimize the time we were without power. We were thrilled with our experience and would happily refer them to friends and family! read more

I called 4 different companies who all misdiagnosed my Air Conditioning problem. Then I could only get appointments 6 weeks out. One company took pity on me and phoned several contractors to find a repair specialist who would schedule sooner. It was Martin Villalobos at Lykos. Martin ordered the part and arrived the following day. But by then, my sick friend's AC had gone out. I asked Martin to help - he took an old part from my unit to fix my friend's AC, then fixed mine. Thank goodness! A few weeks later, my condensation line was blocked. Martin arrived same day and fixed it same day. He even braved my somewhat protective dog in order to fix my AC while I was caring for my friend. Words cannot convey my respect and admiration for Martin and his company, Lykos Electric. My friends forever. read more

Martin was referred to me by a friend to correct the problems noted in the inspection before I bought my home. What a polite professional! He did a top notch job of correcting the electrical hazards in my home & installing our new HVAC system. He went above & beyond, was always on time, and thoroughly explained everything, including costs. His son Jude and Antonio are also very reliable. I would never even consider using anyone else after my experience with Lykos. Very honest. And Martin, thanks for the donuts and for tolerating our little dogs. read more

Lykos Services was instrumental in bringing my welding shop to life. The first thing needed was to get a bigger transformer to handle my power needs. Lykos built everything in preparation for the next step. Martin and Juda worked with the local power company to organize a seamless transition to a new 400-amp service. Then, over 150 feet of cable was run to my shop to bring power to me. While working on the lights and outlets inside, Martin and Juda worked very late into the night to ensure I was up and running. Their smile and professional demeanor never left, even at such a late hour and after a long day. These guys are very professional. Their work quality is the best I have ever seen. As stress free as can be imagined. Thank you Lykos! You are my go-to company from now on. read more
