Best Electricians in Texas

Yelp's localization does a disservice to contractors since the best of the best probably don't live in your immediate neighborhood.

John Henshaw and his crew qualify as the best of the best. Plus, he's a master electrician. (see tiny.cc/jhenshaw)

Now, let's be honest, We all want the most for our pennies and we may think that hiring a handyman to install simple things like fans make economic sense.  Think again. Hiring a licensed electrician is not that much more (Last i checked Henshaw Electric charged $150 per fan; the half-wit handyman I hired through craigslist charged $100 per fan. SInce I had to get Henshaw to re-hang said fan it actually cost me $250), He also grounded all the plugs in & around my computer and installed a surge suppressor in the electric box to safeguard all my stuff.

And yes, a licensed guy will charge a few bucks more but they are worth every penny. I can sleep at night knowing my fan or stove or whatever isn't going to burst into flames.

Ramon Umana and his crew are professionals. I am completely satisfied with this recent work: replace regular duplex receptacles with tamper resistant receptacles at dining, living and upstairs bedrooms; relocate fan switch in bathroom, add switch in attic, add receptacle in attic, replace switches in upstairs compute closet, bathroom and outside laundry; add gfci receptacle at kitchen; install disconnect for water heater; install gfci at outside back door and inside and outside laundry room. Whew!

Double Diamond was a pleasure to deal with. Billie Vaughn does top notch work and I will use him anytime I get the opportunity. Highly recommended.

I called Ray a couple weeks ago to get a quote on replacing an electrical panel.  Then I went out of town for a while.  The problem was worse when I got back and I called Ray back to let him know.  He came out the next morning and replaced the panel, and he honored the original quote.  He even came back the next day to replace a part that was behind the meter and not part of the original estimate just because he thought it needed to be replaced.  I will definitely call Ray again if I have any more electrical needs!

Jamie was a God Sent. He did a great job he is quick and fair.

Very quick turnaround with great quality. Ben was very professional and helpful.

JL Electric was great to work with.  I called them on a Monday morning and Scott was able to accommodate my schedule and come out same day; even coming out late in the evening.  Professional and would recommend to anyone.

Phillip was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to assist me with all my questions for the electricity in my new house. Highly recommend him and I will definitely be using him in the future!!

I have used Rubio Electric many times and consistently gotten great customer service. It's run very professionally. I always get a quick callback from the owner, Justin, and he always gets over to help quickly. He is polite, follows up to make sure everything is ok, cleans up, sends a clear, professional invoice, and has never failed to do anything but excellent work. I recently needed some work and not only did he promise a start time, I got a confirmation phone call and text confirming it. This time two of his employees came. They confirmed their arrival, were polite, clean, extra helpful, gave me additional clear instructions for what I needed to do, and were very nice and friendly - and professional - to deal with.  If only more contractors could do the same. Justin and his team installed Ring devices (some walls had to be opened up), and did other interior work. I will always use and recommend them in the future.

Shane was great and really worked within my budget. I had his guys add some outdoor electrical outlets, fans, and more. They Ensured it was water tight, used good materials and followed code. I appreciate the hard work his guys did, they were here until 8:30PM to ensure they completed the job, and did it right! I'll be using Murphy's electric again.

I dealt with Ralph at REM electric and was so impressed with his customer service.  Highly recommend Ralph and REM electric for their expertise,  professionalism and ETHICAL approach to business.  They helped us with our back up generator. VERY REASONABLE. I made the mistake of calling 2 other electricians, before I finally found REM. Learn from my mistake.

I had the line from my electrical pole to my meter going into my house ripped completely out when a tree from the storm fell. Mr Baily came promptly, and had it done in a very short time. Very efficient, prompt,cleaned up after himself, thoughtful, and very reasonable . Talked to about a few repairs to my home and to rentals I have. He defiantly knows his stuff and I will use him again and have no problem recommending his company to other.

When purchasing our home we were informed that the electrical panel needed to be replaced. We were not happy about this and had no clue where to look for a trusted electrician. Luckily a close friend had worked with Thuan Nguyen on several home jobs and told us to contact him. Thuan was super cool, he came out to the house, checked things out, then gave us a few options of what to do next. He upgraded our electrical panel and replaced a few bad outdoor plugs.
He did a great job and was very knowledgeable of what he was doing, he def made me feel more comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation...I would recommend thuan to anyone needing an electrician

Laredo AC/Heating & Electrical is a excellent service company.  Timely, professional, friendly and reasonably priced. I have trusted this service company for many years and i have always received the best service.  100+% recommended!

I used to use John Henshaw exclusively years ago. He helps me fix up the wiring in my old apartment just enough so that my computers were protected. I was sad to see he'd moved on to focus on commercial projects and  happy for him that he is doing so well at it.

Very nice serviceman. He arrived on time and was professional. Work was done efficiently. Charge was outrageously high and I will not call them again for this reason.

Over Priced ! A day late a dollar short. After the fact. I was talking to a friend about my bill for two fuses to be installed. The fuses are less than $50 anywhere you call or check on line. My Bill for two was $537.00. They get to people because we do not know. The state should step in on business like this

As a resident of the Heights, it's important for me to support local businesses.  However, occasionally this backfires and you feel like you were stolen from.  This is the case I had with Heights Electric.  

I had two light fixtures that were out and either needed to be fixed or replaced.  Whatever was cheapest.  They decided they needed to be replaced, which was fine, and told me they would have something jn stock or could get something similar at the store and install it.  Okay, sounds fair.  Yet somehow installing two simple lights equated to 6 billable hours?!?!!  How is that possible??  I'll tell you how its possible.  Show up in a truck with two people and have one person stand around and watch the other person do all the work and then bill double for it.  

Also while you're at it, charge $95 an hour to determine whether a $30 light fixture can be fixed or just replaced.  If you can't figure it out in 10 minutes, lets just buy a new one people!

I'll give one hour for a real electrician to take down the light and determine if it can be fixed easily, possibly one more hour to buy 2 new lights just up the street, and perhaps one hour to install both of them.  3 hours MAX.  

Never mind the fact they never showed up when they said they would (sometimes late with no phone call, sometimes early saying they're waiting out front).

No thanks.  Completely unprofessional.  I will not be using them ever again.
