Best in Houston TX

On time, friendly, knowledgeable. Pricing was fair and the work that was done was quality. I would highly recommend!

My home was experiencing an issue with the dimming of the lights and the power cutting in and out. I called Paul to see if a technician could come out. He let me know it would be a minimum of $285 ($65 service fee plus $110 per hour with a 2-hour minimum). I asked him that before I decide to spend the money on the service call, does he have any idea what the problem could be from what I explained to him. He said no, it could be any number of things and it was best to have someone come out to troubleshoot.

When the technician arrived, I explained to him the same thing I told Paul over the phone and he immediately told me he had seen this issue many times before and he was almost positive it had to do with the electrical feed and I would have to call Centerpoint to take care of it. He even mentioned he gave the same advice to his friends when they told him of the same issue - call Centerpoint first before you decide to spend money on an electrician to see if everything is ok with the electrical feed. He then proceeded to check my panel and the connections around my house before coming back to me and reiterating that I should call my electricity provider.

I believe the technician was very knowledgeable, but it was a very poor practice to send out a technician for this call and charge me $285 essentially for advice that could have been given over the phone. For this reason, I can't recommend this company. I wish I could rate the technician separate from the company - 5 stars for the technician, 1 star for the company as a whole and their business practices.

Edit:

I called Centerpoint and it was an issue with the electrical feed - exactly as the technician said. It took Centerpoint about an hour to fix. As an attorney, I have reviewed the provisions of the Texas Department of Licencing and Regulations pertaining to electricians. There are no guidelines  that would forbid any company from asking further questions such as is it just your home or are your neighbors experiencing the same issue? have you contacted Centerpoint to see if it is an issue on their end?. Again, these are things that the technician immediately asked when he arrived and questions if asked on the phone would have saved me $285.

Sorry, Paul. 73.51.4 Electrical Contractors' Responsibilities does not prevent you from asking the two questions I mentioned above, nor would it put your license at risk. I appreciate that you read all reviews and take time to respond, but also find it pathetic you can't take responsibility for your own failings. Based on this alone, I could not recommend your services to anyone.

Called first thing in the morning and had a tech within 2 hours. Cody was very informative and explained everything to me even though I really had no clue what he was talking about...LOL. Needless to say I am very pleased with the overall service provided by Mr. Electric and will for sure use them again when and if the need arises. Thank you.

Our garage door stopped working along with the outside lighting and Yovani was able to diagnose the issue and fix all of our electrical issues with such efficiency and explained everything in a way that was easy for even me, to understand. He was super considerate and sweet and nothing short of a professional.

Prompt, professional and honest. We will continue using this service. They fixed our under-mount sink and came back to install an RO system.  We will use Geovanny and his colleague again.

Customer for life.  

We decided to replace our dishwasher on our own but when we saw the previous electrical work and could smell melting plastic we knew we needed a professional to do it right.  Robert came right out and disconnected the old washer then connected our new one which is now up to code.

Living in an older home with old wiring has made me conscious of the fire hazard and I'm so glad to have found a reliable electrician. They are friendly and prompt and I will not hesitate recommending them to family and friends for home or business electrical work.

An electrical power outlet near my fuse panel failed, so I requested quotes on Yelp from nearby electricians.  Ace Electrical had good reviews and offered one of the lower quotes, so we went with them. The electrician arrived on-time and did a great job. I would recommend this company for anyone wanting quality services at a good price.

Very professional, experienced and competent.  The installation of my generator was complex and this team was totally knowledgeable about all the details of getting the job done right.  They even sent in a supervisor at the end to review all the work prior to start up.  Once done they did a demonstration and explained each step.  Buttoned up, on twin worked all day and quality oriented.  Friendly.  Highly recommend.

Sean replaced my electric panel and other HVAC connection to current code requirements. Labeled every outlet.
Very fair price and excellent skill.

Based on the reviews, I was pretty hopeful calling this place.  The caulk where the staircase met the raiser was cracked, so I thought it was going to be an easy DIY job.  I ripped out the old caulk cleaned the area and then taped everything with blue tape to get neat lines.  I started caulking didn't like it, so I wiped off the caulk and tried again.   I wasn't satisfied so I realized I needed a professional because there were so many corners and couldn't make it look neat like the professionals do.

I called asking for an estimate and they said all their jobs are $175/hour with a 2 hour minimum plus the cost of materials.  What a rip off!!  Who are they kidding??!!  Those prices are outrageous!  What were they planning to do to my stairs for that price?

I took a break from the DIY caulk project and then came back to it.  Watched some Youtube videos and read some tips on caulking.  Third time is always a charm, let's do this!  It took me 2 hours to do the entire staircase and if I must say so myself, the results are pretty darn awesome!  Final score Tammy 1 and caulk zero.

I am still on the hunt for a good handyman for future projects.

Arrived right on time, wore masks, took time to diagnose and locate the issue, provided quote. I will use them again. Proper communication, quick appointment time.  Overall great service

Very satisfied! I was referred from a friend in the neighborhood that used a pro master electric for their whole rewire in their home and they were satisfied. I used a pro master electric to install LED lights around my home that lights up my yard at night and later on used them to change my breaker panel! This is my go to electric company !!!

Thank you Grounded for helping my mom. The job was done fast and accurate.
Will be call again soon!!!

I called Mr Electric for a quote on a pretty big job.

The good: they scheduled a quote within 48 hours, the tech arrived when he said he would to walk through everything I wanted done, was very personable, seemed knowledgable and explained his recommendations on how to best accomplish the work. He then left, saying they would email me the quote.

The bad: all of that was about a week ago, and I never got an emailed quote or a call to follow up. So, I called them, and was told the quote was in progress, and the very nice rep I was talking to told me she would follow up. She then called back yesterday, a little after 5, saying I would have the emailed quote in about an hour, and the tech would then call to walk through it with me. I still don't have the quote, and I haven't heard back.

I really wanted to like Mr Electric, but it seems they can't or don't want to provide a quote.

They came out on time and fixed a problem I had with the power going out in my island kitchen. Quick fix and no parts were needed. Price for the service call was pretty steep (almost double) compared to typical service calls from other companies in the area.

I am very satisfied with Abacus! I called them yesterday afternoon around 3pm to see if they could send someone over to clear out a kitchen clog that was also backing up into our master bathroom sink. The lady that took my request was friendly and stated that they could help the next day.
First thing in the morning around 8am, I receive a call that the service tech Ali would be at my house within 45 mins. He arrived on time and after a brief discussion, he evaluated the situation and gave recommendations along with options.
We choose the option we felt good about with NO pressure ever from him! We agreed to perform the cleanup service from the inside kitchen sink area. He did a great job keeping everything perfectly clean! He even put the booties on the wheels of the cleanup machine to roll through the house! Extremely professional, polite and informative. He also explained about a plumbing maintenance plan that I had already been researching on their website. It is very affordable and offers value including flushing my water heater annually.
My first time using Abacus and I'm very happy with the plumbing side of their business thus far! Great job Ali!
