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.

Going into this, we knew that it might be a rather involved job. He explained to me exactly what would have to be done and gave me a cost estimate before starting. He thought he might have to go through the ceiling as well, but luckily was able to avoid it.  He did a great job and left everything clean when he was done. He took all the trash and old fixtures out for me. He was very helpful and did a great job of explaining things. We will definitely call him for any future 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.

Answered the phone promptly and could give me a quote on the phone. The job was easily booked and Steve the electrician that came out was very pleasant and explained thoroughly what he was doing. Highly recommend!

Great service, very helpful.  Phillip was very professional, did exactly what we needed with permitting and a service entrance.  Quick to get it done, too!

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.

Laredo Company is a 5 star company and worth your time and consideration (if I could give them more stars I would). Everyone I interacted with was first class - professional, attentive, fair, and knowledgeable.

I replaced three AC units and had some electrical work done with them and I couldn't be more happy with their work. I'll use them from here on out.

I'll provide a quick example of the type of company this is. I wanted to install Reme Halo's in my house due to my allergies and one AC company told me that because of Halo's potential impact on C19 (100% not proven) they were in very short supply but they had bought the last major shipment in Houston and would sell me them at 4x their list price. So naturally I had others look into it as well and Laredo offered to install them at cost plus labor and they were able to find them from a certified dealer. And they provided me some information on them as well.

AC units and this type of work can be very expensive. Be careful out there and do your research. Trust me you will be happy you talked to Laredo.

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.

Universal Home Experts...interesting company! So it turns out, you can negotiate the proposal they give you. I just read thru the reviews here and had to laugh because they tried to rip me off also. An electrician named Brett P. came out to my house to install 2 electric wall sconces in my media room. His estimate came in at $512. Too high! I explained to Brett the Restoration Hardware sconces were $169 a pc and I wasn't paying more for the installation than I paid for the sconces. He said, okay...I understand. How about $327? I was like...wait...what? Where do they come up with these numbers and why did they originally want $185 more? If Brett could do the job for $327 the whole time, why did he increase the price on me? Could I have negotiated further? SO WEIRD!!! I paid the $327. Brett did a great job but GEEZ! Who wants to haggle with someone in their home? Would not hire again based on feeling like they were trying to take advantage of me. There are too many other good companies out there to pick from to deal with that!

NOTE: This rating is not based on the work.

FYI - There is a service fee to get a price on the work to be done. Meaning BEFORE they even start working you will be paying them to give you a 30 point inspection on your home (even if you don't want that) and then they will quote you. No free estimates here people!

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.
