Best Electricians in Houston, TX

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 to help me install some coax lines from my attic to my wiring closet in preparation for my cable installation.  Ray was very good with communication, he called back when he said he would and also called me 30 minutes before our appointment to confirm.  Ray showed up on time and he and his helper were very easy to work with.  They also wore shoe coverings when walking on our carpet and cleaned up everything before leaving.  Pricing was very fair for the work done.  I will use RS Electric for any of my needs in the future and wouldnt hesitate to recommend Ray's company to family and friends.

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!

Philip arrived on time and performed a great job installing 2 fan switches. He also fixed some faulty wiring which save me a hassle later on.. He was very nice and professional.. He check my fuse box to ensure I was up to code .. I plan on using him again for outdoor light fixtures.. He has a groupon special so look him up..

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.

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.

Amazing is what I would say. Always on time and doesn't over charge you for things you don't need.  

He is honest and able to help out with anything you need.   Very friendly and willing to show you what he is doing or why.

Set yourself on fire before ever doing business with this John Henshaw clown.

We called Universal Home Experts to help us install our newly bought Thermostat. Since our old Thermostat only had 4 lines and the new wifi Thermostats required 5 lines. The guys arrived on time, and stated that they would need to run a new wire from the A/C unit to the Thermostat box. We said, okay how much do you think that would be? The guy stated he didn't know and had to go outside and write an estimate. While they were outside me and husband agreed that we didn't want to spend more than 100$, 150$ max to have the new Thermostat (that cost us 100$ at best buy) installed. It just wouldn't be worth it at that point. The guys finally came back in and proceeded to tell us that to have a new wire ran and the Thermostat installed that it would be $889.00!!! We live in a townhouse, the A/C unit is directly behind the Thermostat. Not a difficult job at all. Eight hundred and eight-nine dollars to install a 100$ Thermostat. I couldn't even believe these guys had the courage to walk in our house and give us that quote. We literally started laughing and told them to get out of our house. My husband was like Get out, get out right now lol. These people are a joke, please look around before using their service. An awful company trying to get rich on taking advantage of people in a hard spot. Its obviously okay for a company to make a profit, but this was out right greedy and disrespectful. Shame on them.

I wrote a review on a service I had on 2/5/18 which I gave 3 out of 5 stars.  I loved the service but was concerned about the pricing.  I was pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call from the area manager who wanted to talk about my concerns.  He spent quite a while listening and explaining.  I feel a lot better about the situation and will definitely keep using them.

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.
