Best Businesses in Houston, TX

Mc Nutt is a thoroughly professional business! I live in the country in a home built in 1867 and I have many barns and outbuildings. They have done extensive work on all my property. Steve is especially helpful!!!

I have had much of my house rewired, added exterior lamps, they hung a heavy and elaborate chandelier, and wired up a commercial kitchen in my home.

I have also had them add many outlets to my barns, wire a new kitchen/ bath, hook up heavy duty medical grade equipment and just about anything else you can think of.

I have used McNutt Electric since about 2001 and I have yet to be dissatisfied!!

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.

Ray called ahead, came on time, got everything taken care of quickly and well-done.  We needed an outside disconnect box replaced and re-wiring the AC unit.  He charged me exactly what he quoted, no games, no shortcuts, no up-selling.  I will use this company again.

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.

Quick response.  Showed up when they said they would.  Found the problem and fixed it.  Also, cheaper diagnostic fee than others in the area.  Can't ask for much more than that.

It was easy to make a timely appointment. They showed up when scheduled and did a great job installing several light fixtures and solved a long-standing issue with switches. Will use again.

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.

Called to check out an electrical issue in my house and he was prompt, extremely efficient and very reasonable on his charges.

I would recommend him to anyone needing electrical repair.

Great work fast reply from yelp and quickly was able to make an appointment. The guys came out and installed my wall charger now getting fast charging for my car, just what I needed.

A good electrician should be able to look at the detailed pictures and summary from a home inspection and tell me whether a project is urgent, or should just be watched.  Universal wiring refused to even look at the paper inspection which has already been done, and insisted they must go out to the property to look at the property first.  ($60) Unaccommodating, and with so many more helpful electricians in the area I can't see why anyone would choose this very expensive, unaccommodating, unhelpful company.

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

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.

Tried to reach the company for 1 week, left numerous messages when their phones were working . Never received a call back.

If they can't even answer their phones, I doubt they can complete a job properly and if you had trouble you would never be able to reach them.

DO NOT USE.

I wish there was an option to give no stars because totally disgusted is more my sentiments.

We know a commercial electrician and went with Heights Electric because we trusted our commercial electrician's recommendation. We should have headed the poor review here when we read it but we thought we'd give Charlie and his team the benefit of the doubt especially because they are a local business. Here's my advice to others: DO NOT HIRE HEIGHTS ELECTRIC.

His workmen were definitely polite and capable. They did a great job at not tearing up our home. However, the billing was underhanded and shifty.

1. They arrived later than discussed. No phone call, just arrived late.
2. 2 workers, 1 who does all of the work and the other that runs to the truck and back.
3. Charlie charged for his own showing up and standing around.
4. We were charged an hour for the Free quote when it was their doing that they came in and took the old fixture down to see what they might be dealing with.
5. We were quoted a price range and ended up having to negotiate above the highest end of the range. Charlie claims it was because the job turned out to be harder than expected and they were working late hours and we were actually getting a discount. (may I remind you, they showed up late and the timing was understood when we were quoted)
6. If the job was harder/was going to cost more, that should have been stated when they realized this. Several times we asked if everything was alright and the response was yes.
7. Our bill didn't even have my name right. Not even just a misspelling- totally different names. Really.
8. We heard a loud crack and there's a very good possibility that our nice fixture was broken at that time but we were not in the same room so there's no telling.
9. Seeing as the fixture was damaged, the job is still not done. They offered to come back and install for an additional $100. No thank you.

Our father is a contractor and a former EE- it's too bad he doesn't live even remotely close. When you give a quote, you work in the possibility of a job being harder than it should be or you let the customer know at that time, not at the end when you charge.

We've had great luck with other area businesses but will not be using Heights Electric again.  Completely unprofessional, underhanded, and nothing the Heights should be proud of.
