Best Businesses in Texas

Great company, reasonably priced, very good response time. I needed a 220 volt 40 amp breaker. In a completed 2 story house that creates an issue. They had to drill into my house, run new wires up the side of the house across the attic, back down to where the breaker box is and drill back into the house. They made sure the wire in the attic was out of the way, We appreciate the extra effort. The crew was polite and professional.  We definitely recommend this company. We will use them for all of our electrical work.

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.

I set up an appointment and had to call when he was a no show. I wasn't happy. But his earlier customer added some additional things to his work so he was running late. He arrives and does a fantastic job of installing my kitchen lights so I asked him to fix another lighting issue. Again, fantastic job.
I would use him again, just have to be patient with his schedule, He is worth the wait.

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.

Phillip did an excellent job on our request. Professional accommodating, respectful. We cannot recommend him enough as he went above and beyond for our needs. Also an animal lover  we will definitely call you 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.

I called this business and the gentleman (not sure if he's the owner or staff member) immediately answered. Unfortunately, he sounded as if he were obviously busy which is fine but it felt as if I was bothering him. We decided that he would come out at his convenience which would be the following week. I thought about the call, our conversation and how I felt. I began searching for another electrician or handyman. The call was made and the interaction was the complete opposite of my previous experience. I scheduled an appointment for the next day and immediately called the gentleman respectfully to cancel my appointment. I didn't get an answer so I proceeded to send a text message but I never received a callback or follow up. He should've at least returned my call or text to inquire about why I was canceling and then offer an apology. That never happened.

Luis installed my Tesla home charger on a quick notice and effectively. I appreciate his help and services in a reasonable time and price.

I am very impressed with this company.  I had three technicians, Danny, Mike, and Marlo come to my house and every single one of them was great; friendly, knowledgable, and professional!
They told me where I might run into problems in the future and gave me a price without being pushy.  I am planning on signing up for their maintenance plan based on my initial experience with the company and the employees who represent Universal.  It sure is nice to deal with one company instead of three!

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.

Minimal editorializing; will stick with the facts and let you decide.

* Electrician came out Jan 4, 2023
* Said he could not find the problem initially so he told me had to run additional diagnostics which would cost $300 (including the service fee)
* Turns out the problem could be clearly seen from a light that was out on a control panel related to my backup generator (yes - I'm kicking myself)
* Then he quotes me $1,500 to fix the problem (that is not a typo - $1,500)
* After regaining consciousness, I asked for a breakdown of parts, labor, etc.
* He said that could not be done (which is obviously ridiculous)
* Told him 'no thanks'
* Another provider came out today and fixed the problem - parts included - for $288

I've never had a more negative experience with a service provider than this.

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.

Husband actually called this place by accident - I asked him to call the electrician on Heights Boulevard not Heights Electric. What a debacle. Two clueless individuals showed up and bumbled around. Had to get owner involved to find a solution to problem. Repair quit working the next day. More bumbling around and work unsatisfactory. Will get a real electrician tomorrow to fix the problem and whatever these bozos did.
