Best Electricians in Texas

I recently purchased two properties that needed to be brought up to code. We added about a dozen outlets, hundreds of feet of electrical wiring, new circuits for three bathrooms and washer/dryer along with a new electrical service connection by centerpoint. The existing wiring was a mess. The worklist was three pages long. To make matters worse, an electrician I previously used had cut corners, and some of his work had to be redone. Randall was on top of the project from the very beginning, spending extra time to get the work done and on schedule. He maintained an open dialog with the inspectors (something that is critical for these complex projects), answering questions and demonstrating the repairs that were made so we got the properties inspected and up to code. He knows his stuff and doesn't play games with billing. The price was reasonable and transparent. Randall promptly responds to texts. He saved the project, and I feel very grateful to have found him. It was a difficult and time consuming job requiring over four full days of work by Randall and his helpers, but I'm very pleased with the outcome. I'm an electrical engineer, and I can fully endorse his work. He will be my go-to electrician from now on. My only complaint is he is very busy so plan accordingly. You may have to wait a week or so to get the work started.

Punctual, efficient and reasonable. I was a little hesitant because of the lack of reviews, but I was very glad I gave them a chance. Matthew was so helpful and has a great attitude.

They installed an electric stove top for me, to replace an old one that had broken.  They really went above and beyond given that the previous installation was done incorrectly which made it difficult to remove.  They cleaned as they went and everything was spotless when they finished.  All at a very attractive price.  Would use them again and definitely recommend them.

Excellent service. Would definitely recommend them to anyone. Amazing prices as well and very professional crew.

Very nice and came out quickly but $235 to change one gfi outlet that I provided seems very high. That does include the one time 60 trip fee. Maybe it's the going rate but just seems very high priced!

Outstanding service ! I was very impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of CBT. Great service at a reasonable price. Will definitely utilize their services again when needed !

********SCAM BUSINESS PRACTICES *****

I called this company because they had good reviews on Google and thought that would be a reliable source.  I was wrong; Mr. sparky uses deceptive practices to get more money from their clients.

I had a simple GFCI outlet not working in my garage. The technician came out and told me he needed to do an electrical diagnostic on my entire house for $389.00
I told the guy..it was one outlet and he insisted that he would require a check of the whole house.
I refused his service and was charged a call our fee of $59 for coming out to try to scam me.

I went to Home Depot and purchased a GFCI outlet for $23 and replaced it myself for $23. I now works without a problem.

I will never call this business again for anything and would not recommend these guys to anyone.

You have been warned!

Recently employed Jay Electric to replace three breakers in my panel that were constantly tripping.  Had already contacted my Home Warranty company who had sent out a technician to diagnose the problem, so the work required was quite clear.

I was charged $380 for this work, which took less than 20 minutes to complete (I have footage from my doorbell camera).  Assuming $40 a breaker for parts, I was charged a whopping $780 an hour for work ($390 an hour if you take into account that two electricians were sent over but it's not clear why that was needed in the first place).  

When questioning the cost, we were told there was a $175 'troubleshooting fee' included which is comical considering we pointed out the exact three breakers that had issues and none of the other ones in the box were touched.  Furthermore, it was explained that either the wiring was loose or the breakers needed replacement, and after pointing out (and fixing) some loose wiring, the breakers were replaced anyways.

The problem does appear to be fixed by the pricing is outrageous.  I'm very disappointed by what appears to be a clear case of taking advantage of a situation.

EDIT: $175 for 5 minutes of 'troubleshooting' is absolutely outrageous.  If you had a minimum of a $175 charge to take a look you should have been transparent and stated it as a call-out fee so we could have politely turned you away.  Had I been home there is absolutely no way this charge would have been paid, but you took advantage of my girlfriend being home alone.  Your response makes me feel a one star rating is even more warranted.

BEWARE AND BE READY TO PAY $1000.

BEWARE AND BE READY TO PAY $1000.00hr LABOR

I called On Time Electric to replace a 250v 60amp three phase disconnect that went to my ac unit I had checked the total for parts at a local electric supply was 222.00 and the job calls for less then an hour of labor I was quoted $1249.00 by On Time Electric when I asked why so much he said because of the insurance but could not explain what the insurance was called another company the replaced it for me for 1 hour labor $75.00 Don't wast your time with this business

If there were any rating lower than one star, that is what I would apply to Baytown Electric. I just paid a guy from Baytown Electric 170.40 to install one GFI outlet. GIVE ME A BREAK! (or should I say a breaker). . .$170.40 for one GFI outlet is freaking RIDICULOUS! Buyer Beware! Last time I will go there for sure!

We had an attempt to brake in our home last night, my husband was out of town on business and thus, could not repair the light above the garage.  He found this company who accepted to come out to repair the light.  The electrician came, could not repair the light, but changed the light bulb which we provided him with and charged us double the amount agreed upon on the phone.  He assured us he would come out the following AM to replace the entire fixture, but did not show up.  Called him 1 1/2 hrs after his appointment only to learn he will not be able to make it till 7:30 pm, an appointment he did not keep either.  It is a big shame that this electrician name Luke Perry took advantage of an already vulnerable & bad situation.
