Best Businesses in Texas

I have used McNutt electric for years.  They have always done a great job and have fair prices.  I would not use anyone else in town!

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.

Totally professional. Timely, thorough, fair pricing -  explained everything prior to doing the work. I had them do more work than I had planned, because i was that impressed.

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.

So happy to have found Hensley Electric. I had a problem with a fuse that wouldn't set. He fixed the problem, and all is well. Don't hesitate to call Hensley.

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.

He was on time, on budget, cleaned up. Everything was just great!!!!   Would hire him again many times!

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

We called Universal Home Experts to help us install our newly bought Thermostat. Since our old Thermostat only had 4 lines and the new wifi Thermostats required 5 lines. The guys arrived on time, and stated that they would need to run a new wire from the A/C unit to the Thermostat box. We said, okay how much do you think that would be? The guy stated he didn't know and had to go outside and write an estimate. While they were outside me and husband agreed that we didn't want to spend more than 100$, 150$ max to have the new Thermostat (that cost us 100$ at best buy) installed. It just wouldn't be worth it at that point. The guys finally came back in and proceeded to tell us that to have a new wire ran and the Thermostat installed that it would be $889.00!!! We live in a townhouse, the A/C unit is directly behind the Thermostat. Not a difficult job at all. Eight hundred and eight-nine dollars to install a 100$ Thermostat. I couldn't even believe these guys had the courage to walk in our house and give us that quote. We literally started laughing and told them to get out of our house. My husband was like Get out, get out right now lol. These people are a joke, please look around before using their service. An awful company trying to get rich on taking advantage of people in a hard spot. Its obviously okay for a company to make a profit, but this was out right greedy and disrespectful. Shame on them.

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

My human used these guys to correct electrical work done by another electrician.  They were professional, fast, reasonably priced and went the extra mile.  They also cleaned up after themselves.

My human was very happy with them....

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.

As a resident of the Heights, it's important for me to support local businesses.  However, occasionally this backfires and you feel like you were stolen from.  This is the case I had with Heights Electric.  

I had two light fixtures that were out and either needed to be fixed or replaced.  Whatever was cheapest.  They decided they needed to be replaced, which was fine, and told me they would have something jn stock or could get something similar at the store and install it.  Okay, sounds fair.  Yet somehow installing two simple lights equated to 6 billable hours?!?!!  How is that possible??  I'll tell you how its possible.  Show up in a truck with two people and have one person stand around and watch the other person do all the work and then bill double for it.  

Also while you're at it, charge $95 an hour to determine whether a $30 light fixture can be fixed or just replaced.  If you can't figure it out in 10 minutes, lets just buy a new one people!

I'll give one hour for a real electrician to take down the light and determine if it can be fixed easily, possibly one more hour to buy 2 new lights just up the street, and perhaps one hour to install both of them.  3 hours MAX.  

Never mind the fact they never showed up when they said they would (sometimes late with no phone call, sometimes early saying they're waiting out front).

No thanks.  Completely unprofessional.  I will not be using them ever again.
