Best in Houston TX

I hired Veteran Electric initially to complete a few minor things noted in our inspection report after we bought a new house. It was a little over $1,000 to do the work. They came out and one of the employees was in training. It took them a long time to do everything and the explanations of other issues always seemed to leave us with a huge question mark as to whether it was really an issue or not. One issue that clearly needed to be addressed related to an exterior outlet that mysteriously had a charge to the ground wire. After talking with the electrician, we assumed it was going to be a huge undertaking to identify the issue and fix it. So since we are still under our home warranty, I figured I'd give them a shot. That electrician had the issue identified in fifteen minutes (improperly installed timer switch on the same circuit). There were other open issues that Veteran came back out for and led them on a rabbit chase that never seemed to bring back any positive news. So they gave us a quote to re wire the whole circuit. We got someone else out here and issues identified and resolved. So three stars because I think they are good per the other reviews but we just had a so so experience with them. Plus they seem to be very busy and their response time is not great if you need something quick.

They were on time and kept good communication throughout the process.  The owner is very motivated to do an excellent job and this is reflected in his crew as well.

Paul Richard Electric!  They did a fine job.

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

Great response time and quickly took care of our needs. We had many questions that were happily answered. I'd recommend service any day!

Geovanny responded promptly & identified our issue quickly....even repaired piping we forgot about because of our water heater emergency. Great guy great svc...will be getting our business and referrals.

First time using Bakenhus Electric and will highly recommend them to friends/family. Hayden and David G. arrived precisely on time at 7:45am, were polite and professional, and corrected the problem for a fair price. Couldn't be more pleased.

Great people to do business with. Professional yet personable crew did an awesome job installing our lighting in the warehouse. The end result was fantastic! Our new go-to for electrical needs.

This company saved the day for me, on Friday I lost electricity to one half of my house, and as luck would have it, it was the side that ran the AC unit.  I came to Yelp to find an electrician,  I called several companies, most did not answer, some couldn't work me in until the following Monday.  Then I called Adrienne, it was 4:30 pm on that Friday afternoon.  The fact that I was calling so late on a Friday did not faze her, she was extremely helpful and promised that they could get the work done over the weekend.  Ryan was out later that evening to access the work, by Saturday all of the new wiring had been laid.   They handled all the permitting and contact with Center-Point.  Ryan and Adrienne were right there all the way.  Excellent work, excellent customer service.

Needed a power outlet installed outside on a brick wall. They arrived on time, completed the job in just over an hour, and left no mess. The job looks very professional and now I am ready to watch the Astros on the patio!

I needed help fixing a broken toilet flange. Not the cheapest but definitely fast and reliable. I'd pay extra for that!

I routinely try to support local area businesses. I gave Mr. Electric a try with an electrical issue and was not disappointed. I experienced a quick response, professional service and competitive pricing. Will use again!

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!

I was having some issues with some electrical outlets & switches.  As a new homeowner with no prior history of hiring an electrician decided to reach out to Grounded to see if they would be able to help fix my electrical issues.  Pete and his partner Nick weren't just on time for my scheduled appointment, they were 15 min. EARLY!  Both were extremely professional and knowledgeable.  They diagnosed my problems rather quickly and remedied the situation just as fast.  However the most impactful thing their service provided to me was not the 5 out of 5 star job they provided to me on this day but for the stress I will no longer have for any future electrical issues because now I know exactly who to call, Grounded!

Thank you Mr Electric! Gilbert came by early in the morning as they promised! They were on time, professional with reasonable prices! Don't let other guys fool y'all!
Also the office ladies were great!

I can't say enough good things about Harmony Electric on Yale. I have used them 3 times in the last year and every time they have been great. They are on time, quick, and friendly. The technician explained what was going on and some of it wasn't anything that needed to be fixed. It was an issue with my bulbs. I love that he didn't charge me unnecessary fees for something that wasn't broken. This is my first year as a homeowner so I don't have any idea what reasonable fees are but I can tel you my heart didn't drop when I saw the invoice. Give them a call.

Had a failure in a Lennox AC evaporator coil still under warranty (W
which has been the subject of a settled class action law suit). The system worked fine until this coil failed but apparently Lennox coins of this era always fail.  These guys told me I needed an entirely new AC unit and furnace, quoting 7,000 and 9,000 USD depending on which system I got.  They never told me about the warranty issue (and keep in mind that this is a Lennox dealer).  Second and third opinions from other companies was simply install a warranty replacement coil, total cost for labor under 900 USD.  So be very careful dealing with Abacus.  They will try to upsell you egregiously.
