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.

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.

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 is the only electrician I will call.  He has done many jobs for us over the past two years and we're hoping he will do many more in the future.  He is honest and very reasonable.  You can't go wrong calling Phillip for your electrical needs.

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.

Very easy to get an appointment.  Arrived on schedule, was very professional and explained the problem and the fix.  Pricing was fair and reasonable and the job was done right. Performed some minor electrical repairs and an AC system check. Nice to have a dependable neighborhood owner/operator.  Definitely recommend

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.

This company is a sham. Run away as fast as you can. They lure you in with free a/c, furnace, electrical and plumbing inspections and modest discounts off book prices if you become a preferred member @$8/month, but come up with an incredible number of additional services on every visit. These services most often are not needed and if they are, they are way overpriced!

As an example, they quoted $694 to add up to 3 lbs of Freon ($231/lb with 15% discount). My new A/C guy charged $75 for $1.5 lbs of Freon ($50/lb). Note: there would have been no prorated cost for amounts less than 3 lbs and in my case would have been paying an effective rate of $462/lb!!!!

They deserve no stars, much less a single star (my opinion of course).

Starting from a nominal rating of 3, I give a plus 2 for the electrician who arrived, on time, and was knowledgable, efficient, and professional.  That's a 5 star rating.  He did the job, advised me of some other electrical work I should consider attending to, and left.  Cudos to Leonard.  Thanks man.

Shortly after I got a call from Mr Sparky's office asking if I was satisfied with the service.  Yes, very I said.  I thought that to be great customer service.  Then I was requested to write a review here on Yelp.  I can't help but wonder if that same request would have been made had I stated that I was *not* happy with the service.  Minus 2 for possibly attempting to stack the reviews deck on Yelp.  That renders my review to a 3.  People make decisions based, in part, on these reviews.

Any feedback from others who did *not* like the service, got a customer service call and informed them of dissatisfaction, and yet was still asked to post a (likely negative) review?  If so, if some unhappy customers were, in that case, requested to write a review, then my rating of Mr. Sparky will rocket to a strong 5.  I hope that is the case, and if so, will happily amend this review.

Awful and I always call a local business first because it is important to me. This company showed up immediately due to an emergency but this is the best thing I can say about them. I think the company has tanked and it is probably for the best. Way over charged and just down right depressing.
