Fort Worth's Family Electrician Since 1978
For more than four decades, Turner Electric has wired, repaired, and protected homes across Fort Worth and Benbrook — one honest job at a time. Today it's led by master electrician Bret Turner.
Four Decades of Honest Electrical Work
When Turner Electric opened its doors in 1978, the goal was simple — be the electrician your neighbors could actually trust. No pressure, no unnecessary upsells, no cutting corners on safety. Just skilled, code-compliant work at a fair price, backed by a name in the community.
More than forty years later, that hasn't changed. Fort Worth and Benbrook have grown up around us, homes have gotten smarter and more power-hungry, and the electrical code has evolved — but the way we treat a customer's home is exactly the same. We still show up on time, explain the problem in plain language, and leave your electrical safer than we found it.
Because we're family-owned, you're never handed off to a call center or a rotating crew of subcontractors. You deal directly with Bret and his small, experienced team — the same people who'll be back the next time you need us. That continuity is why so much of our work comes from repeat customers and neighbor-to-neighbor referrals.

Meet Bret Turner, Master Electrician & Owner
Bret Turner has spent 30 years with tools in hand — troubleshooting, wiring, and upgrading homes across the Fort Worth area. As a master electrician, he holds the highest level of electrical licensing in the trade, which means he doesn't just do the work; he understands the code and engineering behind it.
That expertise matters most on the jobs other electricians shy away from — aging knob-and-tube or cloth wiring in historic homes, undersized panels straining under modern loads, and mystery problems like breakers that keep tripping for no obvious reason. Bret finds the real cause and fixes it safely, rather than slapping on a temporary patch.
His approach is the same on a two-outlet call as it is on a full-home rewire: be honest, be thorough, pull the permit, follow the code, and treat the home like it's his own. Customers consistently describe him as punctual, knowledgeable, and refreshingly straight with them about what does — and doesn't — need to be done.
