Best Businesses in Texas

I left work early to be home to meet with a technician for a scheduled appointment.  30 minutes after scheduled appointment, I called this company and I was I told I would get a call back with an ETA.  Never received a call back and no one ever showed up to give me an estimate.

Otis and his crew were the only ones out if six local electricians to call me back. They not only were able to get me in the next day, but they arrived ahead of schedule. Otis kept me updated on the price during the process and always thoroughly explained what the issues were. We will 100% call him again and thoroughly recommend him and his crew!

Pete did a great job installing 2 outlets in my garage. He gave me an accurate quote and knew exactly what he was doing. He even came the same day! He was on time, professional, and his price was very reasonable. I am most definitely going to use his services in the future.

Eric came out promptly to provide an estimate and determined we can go with a different solution for the problem. He was extremely friendly, prompt and informative. Recommended based on honesty alone. Much appreciated, Eric!

I was very fortunate to have same day service with Jack.  He had repaired and replaced a lighting fixture in our master bedroom closet.  Prior to coming to the house, he had made a recommendation for the best fixture when he purchased at Lowes.

No job is too big or small for him.  Very personable, showed up promptly within the time window and very efficient in his work.  Well done!  I will be using him for all my future electrical needs.

Looked on Yelp and called 2 places, and Aaron's was able to come out the same day..within the hour to be honest!  Chris the technician was friendly and got me fixed up.  Had a whole house surge protector put in while he was here for the other issue.  Great service and a fair price.  Thank you!

This post was misplaced, as it was posted to the wrong location.

Prior to the day of upgrade the business was 5 stars. Upgrade day they moved to a 3 - lack of communication between their employees and contacting Center Point. - CP came to the home at 3 to turn on the lights but Mr E wasn't done yet. So CP left. Mr E supposedly called CP at 5pm to finish the work, and told us CP could be out by 7pm. Long story short, CP never got the call Mr E left the house at 5pm with a family of 8 sitting outside in 100 temps/humidity and mosquitoes- with 2 family members having special medical conditions. CP stated they could be out by 7am the following day.- not good! Now I got involved and called the Mr Electric company and asked for a hotel compensation for the medical kids, they agreed. 1/2 the family stayed the night in a reasonable hotel of $70+ tax (remember Houston) and followed up by emailing the receipt to their recommended email, and I have yet to receive payment. - so I drop to a 3 star. Now a month later, my electric box is popping breakers. I reached out via the website as calling is a hassle, but I will tomorrow during business hours. Mr. Electric could respond to email inquiries via the internet form on their page. They want to sell their services, but once you use them they could care less about keeping their customers. I am not happy with their business, and I have reached out via website, now I have moved on via Facebook. This matter has become personal to the fact that their work could lead to a home fire and as of now if the investigation proves the fire was electrical this Mr. Electric in Katy will be sued. But that is why they get 1.5 stars, I really should give .5

5/18/2020 - Hi Angela, I had previously responded via direct message, but did not receive an answer. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - and I am very sorry to hear of your concerns. Houston has several Mr.Electric business units (think of them as individual stores). I am the owner of Houston-West & Sugar Land .... you have left a detailed review on our Yelp page, but it appears that the services were performed by a different Mr.Electric franchise: who have a separate Yelp page of their own. I called the other business unit on your behalf to ensure they received your feedback the same day. It would be very much appreciated by myself and the team however if your review was removed & posted to the correct business unit for their follow up directly. Again - sorry to hear of your concerns and appreciate your leaving a review. Best wishes, Ian (owner, Mr.Electric Houston-West & Sugar Land)

Cheikh was an amazing electrician he was very prompt and did a clean install in rapid time i was shocked . I recommend him without fear just do it and do not even bother looking elsewhere you wont be disappointed . i paid $500 for a Tesla wall connector installation. He does tesla installations all day so he is the man you want. Thanks Cheikh

Kevin is efficient, knowledgeable, and goes out of his way to make sure you are happy. He replaced an ugly ceiling fan with a small chandelier & rewired an outlet for me at a very reasonable price. I would not hesitate to use Madaras for any future electrical projects I may have & I highly recommend them. :)

I was very pleased with Yovani from Mr Sparky.  Very knowledgeable and able to diagnosis the problem immediately.  Also, they had same day service call which made this momma very happy to use her dishwasher again.  Thank you!!!

I have already set up my next appointment! I sent Johnny (the owner) an email on a Sunday evening and he responded within the hour. Although he missed our appointment time, he quickly made it up by sending his colleague, Raul. Raul was excellent and quickly resolved our problem. I have invited Johnny to come out to do additional electrical work because of the great customer service. I will definitely keep Lighthouse Electric in my rolodex!

Reliable, timely & wonderful service!  I sent an email through Yelp asking another company about replacing my mother's flood light (in a tree).  David responded in 10 minutes with a price.  Within 2 hours, he was on the job doing exactly what was requested. My mother was very pleased!  If you're looking for a dependable person to do the job right, David is your guy.  Thanks again for your help David!

3 words ! Fast response, good prices and professionalism.
Thanks for your job it was amazing . We will use Tae The Electrician on all of our electric projects .

Predatory pricing at it's best - beware!! I just received a hand written quote with no break down of parts & labor pricing for $1,145 to install a dedicated outlet that is no more than 12 horizontal-feet from my electrical panel - in a brand new home (moved in less than a month ago).

Material and parts needed for this would be a 20amp arc fault breaker ($50), 50ft of 10/2 romex wire ($55), outlet/wall box/plate ($40) = $145 in material/parts. So according to this quote their labor would be *$1,000*!!! For a job this easy - less than 2hrs MAX - that would mean *$500hr* for labor!!

I usually don't leave reviews like this, but it was insulting to be handed a quote that is so blatantly predatory pricing with NO documentation to clearly encompass the bend-over they're trying to peddle you. Steer clear folks!

I needed to get my entire electric panel replaced. I put in a request on their website. They were responsive and got back to me just a few hours later.

They gave a four hour window when he would come. He came, glanced at the electrical panel for just two minutes and then went back to his truck.

He came back and gave me an estimate of $6,418 to replace the entire electric panel. That's crazy!

I asked for price breakdown and why it was so crazy expensive and he couldn't give it. Just a general estimate with the one total price.

I said no. He just charged me $199 for the two minutes he spent looking at my electrical panel to tell me the obvious: that it needed replacing.

I found a smallerz family-owned electrical company on Yelp and they were able to do it for $1,612! 1/4 the price of Abacus!

Abacus is astronomically overpriced for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work.

What is really sketch is the big disparity between their Yelp and Google reviews. I tried to leave this same negative review on Google reviews and it never ended up showing up on the list of reviews.

They auto-flag any negative Google reviews to get them removed. Do NOT use Abacus. Use smaller, family run providers.
