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.

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.

Came out, and gave me a very fair estimate on running a commercial 240V line, great service found a solution

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.

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.

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

Excellent service, meticulous work and overall nice people.  Highly recommend for a/c and electrical.  Mr Laredo has provided both types of service for our homes and always does a great job. He also tries his best to come as soon as he can, especially when it's urgent.

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

I just wanted to thank everyone again for the excellent experience I had using your company for the 1st time. I called another company initially who said it would be 2 weeks before they could come out. I then remembered seeing your ad in the Heights newspaper.
On my initial call I went over what I needed done (fix/replace 5 under cabinet puck lite sets w/3 easy to replace fluorescent type lites and 2 recessed lites).
UW set a time for 3 workdays later to meet me at my house; they called 30 mins. ahead of our appointment so I could meet them on our scheduled time (11-1).
My UW technician was very pleasant, prompt, not pushy, and patient w/my questions. After our initial discussion of what I wanted done, he assessed everything and even provided a 40 pt. whole house/electrical box inspection to further provided me w/information of what he suspected may be problem areas in my home already - which I knew I had. After 40 mins. he wrote up 3 proposals and prices from his inspection and my to-do list.
I selected one of the 3 on his list and he went right to work. Of course I did not pick the best proposal, which included possible problems that could arise in the future but again there was no high sales pressure from him, which I appreciated very much. And to UW's credit they gave me a copy of the proposals for future reference so I may call them back and finish everything up at my convenience.
After 2.5 hours the job was completed to my satisfaction. On my drive back to work that afternoon, I received a followup call (to my surprise) and was asked how things went and was there anything else that they could do for me. I gave the caller a stellar report on his employees, thanked him for all of their help and relayed that in this day and age it is wonderful to find true customer service skills being relayed though out a whole company -- all 3 people I dealt with were the best I've had the pleasure/experience with in a long time.

Thanks again!

Mister Sparky rescheduled my appointment because they had calls from other customers without power from the storm over night. Guess what, I have the same problem. I live in the neighborhood with the power issues also. When I asked if they would keep my appointment they said they might get me in Thursday...? I had an appointment I have an outage they scheduled another customer my appointment because they assumed their issue was worse without talking to me. Then they said they couldn't dare reschedule the other customer...please help me understand. Then the supervisor wouldn't take my call and said they'd call me back...im still waiting.

This place is a complete disgrace.  They charged us, then took the marginally working piece of equipment and never returned it (although they made several appointments to come back and do so, they just never showed up.)   So for 140$ they made the problem much worse.
