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.

I've hired Ramon Umana twice since we went into contract for our new home.  He's dependable, professional, and courteous.  He emails to set up appointments too.  Ramon has rewired a number of outlets in my home, installed new lighting, and repaired faulty work done by another electrician.  I recommend him!

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.

Needed an electrician at the last min. and Ray was available within a few short hrs. He fixed my electrical problem, installed a ceiling fan for me, and gave me helpful advice/suggestions. I didn't shop around for price but his fees are reasonable in my opinion. Thanks for your service Ray!

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.

Pool Lights had gone out...Called J and L..told me it would be 10 days before they got to me.   Called me the next day and told me someone could come out now.   They fixed the lights, were very pleasant to deal with, fair with pricing, and fixed a few other minor problems with no charge.    Great job!

I was needing some electrical work done at my house and looked for someone close to the house  . I explained what I needed done that the original electrician hadn't completed  . He set a date and time  and showed up to check it out  . After a couple of hours he had completed the work  . He  asked if I wanted a whole house gfi  ( which I was going to ask about anyway )and I said yes because I had one installed at my other house and had done research on . He installed that also  . His prices were very reasonable  . I  have used Hensley electric again for additional electrical that I've added  . I would recommend them for big or small projects

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.

Christmas Day, a few months after Hurricane Harvey my wife reported we had standing water on top of the septic tank lid. The septic company said the lift pump wasn't working because the GFI outlet had been underwater during the hurricane. I called Matt at Outlet Electric based on the previous review on Yelp, first company I spoke to also. I told him I wasn't in a hurry to get the plug replaced but needed him to come take care of it some time. He volunteered to come out right away if I really needed it. I said no and booked an appointment later. His guys were timely, very nice, extremely professional and got the job done quickly. I received an email invoice that was very fair for the work done and the travel time required to get to my house. I like to work with local people, these guys are local to me. My impression was that these guys know what they are doing and are professional. I would highly recommend their services!!!  They just seem to be good regular people trying to do a professional job at a fair price.

I called Van to help me with my new panel. He was funny and very helpful.
He has a master electrician and got the job done very quick. I would hire him anytime and would highly recommended him to anyone.

Always does a great job. Love the service I get when I use laredo. They have wired or shall I say rewired my entire business, installed lighting, and fixed many issues not even related to the electrical. Did I mention they installed two air-conditioning units on the roof and completed the ductwork. Look no further you've found the only company you will need for your electrical needs.

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.

Reason we called:
1. Dishwasher was not turning on
2. Disposal not turning on
Not a plumbing issue

Day 1: My wife looks this company up and it showed good reviews so we went with it. They were very kind and knowledgeable. We were told that they are not the cheapest but we are paying for quality work and a long lasting product and everything will work when they are finished. As they were inspecting the electrical box he needed to test to see if it was the breaker shorting out so he switched the line to another on. Sure enough when he did that the disposal was working but the dishwasher did not. As he was eliminating problems he caused the washer to stop working. He said sorry and then continued to tell us the problems we had. We needed a new breaker box in the end and went ahead with the work (6,000$). The workers came and installed the new breaker box, fixed the problem with the disposal and fixed the dishwasher. I say that because when they installed an outlet for the dishwasher to plug into, that caused it to not fit in its original place. I told the guy who was working on the dishwasher, but he just continued on with his work and left the dishwasher out(after telling him it would not fit).As they were fixing the dishwasher they then broke a water line.they called, and I advised him of what happened and he asked if I wanted to fix it myself or if I wanted to get one of there plumbers. I told him I wanted a plumber. The plumber arrived and said that it would be an hour to get the part and fix it. He left and was gone for over 2 hours. It was evening by this time..They fixed the water drain pipe but still did not fix the issue where it would not fit in its original place causing drawers not to open..Right before they left I asked if they had labeled all the breakers. Sure enough I get told oh did you want to do that? these guys clearly did not want to stick around and finish what they started. I was told that the wiring for the dryer was not correct and as long as we don't use the dryer all day long over and over again we would be ok (exact words) and to expect the dryer to flip the breaker if we do that. After that and the box now labeled they left. Later my wife tried the dishwasher. As soon as she turned it on she noticed something wrong, It was leaking water all over the floor and a bad burning smell. I then tried to start a load for drying and within a couple seconds it shut off. I went to the breaker box, flipped the switch and tried again thinking maybe it was just a hiccup. Sure enough what they said before was completely inaccurate and even turning the dryer on would flip the switch.

Problems after day 1
1.Dishwasher leaking water on floor
2.Dishwasher does not fit in same spot
3.Drawers do not open(due to dishwasher)
4.Dryer does not stay on.

Day 2: Called Universal Home Experts. They arrived shortly after with a million apologies and there word to have it all fixed by the end of the day. As they checked the house for the reason the dryer wasn't working he advised us that it was because aluminum wiring and not the correct size for an electrical dryer and we now need new wiring so the power wont shut off the dryer. We were told that the boss only wants to charge us for the wiring since they had to come back and fix everything. The cost for just the wiring was over 1000. Seemed a little steep but at this point, but had no choice unless we wanted to hire a new company and wait while water was all over the place and unable to dry clothes..We agreed and they came that same day and repaired/fixed everything.

Day 3: after we had our nice new wiring I decided to go out and get new outlets and light switches to kind of update the house. As I was turning the power off to the areas I needed I noticed I didn't have a living room according to the breaker box..I decided to just shut everything off and continue with what I was doing, as I did not have time to go though all the breakers. When I got to the back part of the house (kids room) it was getting a little warm so I just decided to turn the AC on and a few rooms to get the air flowing. Sure enough the breaker box was labeled wrong, the kids room was on wrong breaker, the fridge was on wrong breaker, and no living room. Called AGAIN got it fixed three days later.

Sam is very nice and knowledgeable.
The workers need serious supervision.

I have used Mister Sparky a couple times before so I have an electrician that is assigned to my home. I like that they do that so I know who's coming and he already knows the house. Jeremy is my assigned electrician, and he's great! He explained everything to me and didn't try to nickel and dime me on stuff. I don't mind the service fee and the inspection fee because they need the information before they get to work on your property. It's a safety issue for them and you! I had another great experience today with Jeremy and plan on using them for the rest of the time I will live here.

Husband actually called this place by accident - I asked him to call the electrician on Heights Boulevard not Heights Electric. What a debacle. Two clueless individuals showed up and bumbled around. Had to get owner involved to find a solution to problem. Repair quit working the next day. More bumbling around and work unsatisfactory. Will get a real electrician tomorrow to fix the problem and whatever these bozos did.
