Chams Electrical Services

Great and quick service! I called and made an inquiry on the cost, seemed reasonable and he was out at my house within an hour.

They installed a Tesla Wall Charger in my house. Work was done promptly and very clean. I am very happy with both the price and quality.

Cheikh and Abraham were flat out fantastic. Super quick and easy installation of my home Tesla charger.

They will setup an inspection of the installation with the city of Houston if you want to make sure everything is up to code. This is an extra cost though. The work was done professionally and even with Cheikh of the country, he was still very responsive. Super awesome guys and you will love their work! Thanks fellas!

The most unprofessional electrician I have ever dealt with. I got referred to Chams by one of my friends who had a good experience with him. As many reviewers have said he does charge less than other competitors. I had a Nema 1450 outlet installed in May 2022. In August of 2022 I had an error message pop up on my Tesla saying that the wall temperature was too high and the wall outlet and wiring needed to be inspected. I texted him to let him know of the error message and he blew me off saying it happens to other people too and it's an issue with the mobile connector and to contact Tesla. So much for the guaranteed one year warranty by him. I then took it to Tesla and they said the mobile adaptor is fine and advised me to have the outlet inspected. Texted him again but this time with no response. The outlet is not in direct sunlight. I've attached the error message on my car, photo of the outlet, text messages with him and the message from Tesla.
Classic lesson on you get what you pay for. I wish I went to a more established business and paid a bit more so I didn't have to waste so much time trying to contact him and having to schedule a visit to Tesla. Those of you that had a good experience are fortunate. But warranty and guarantee of your work is more important than price since now I'm going to have to spend even more time and money to get someone else to check this outlet since he won't respond to my texts

They did excellent work putting a Tesla wall charger and extending about 60 foot from main break panel so the charger where we wanted it. Great job and would use them for any electrical work, thank you!

Called him the same day and offered to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for a Tesla. One heck of an Electrician.  Came out an hour after I called.

Definitely recommend. Had a 240v line run with plug outlet for Tesla charging. Friendly, quick and quality work. Can't ask for more!

I was referred by a neighbor to Chams. They were responsive. They sent tech the same day and installed Tesla charger in my garage. Cheerful fellow too. I would recommend Chams to others.

We had the house main feed lose one of the leads from the CenterPoint box to the meter on a Friday, meaning only 1/2 of the house had power.  Used another company to trouble shoot and then called around for bids.  Chams was the low bidder by a considerable margin and chose them for the replacement.  They showed up Saturday morning right on time to start the work.  They finished the work when they said the would (on Saturday) and for the price quoted.  Great communication so we knew what was happening at all times.

Hard to say enough good things about them.  Chams will be my go to for all electrical work in the future, could not be happier with their service and work. Definitely a customer for life.

He installed charging point for my tesla couple of months back.

Great Guy ! Quick and honest. Will not try to sell things you don't need. Was quick and on time.

Thank you .

Cheikh has done multiple jobs for us that include our Tesla charger and moving electrical plugs for a jacklift garage door opener. The recent job was installing a NEMA 14-50 plug for our Chargepoint Flex. He knows our house and rather than do a walk through he arrived ready to do the work without any interruption to our electrical service. The work required changing out an existing 50A breaker to a slimmer style since our breaker box was full - something that took very little time for a Master Electrician. The wall cuts were perfect,including through the backing plywood and the plug was installed in the perfect location and compliant with the local electrical code.

When there is electrical work I always reach out to Cheikh first since I know he and his crew will have it done right the first time - and doing the work quickly and neatly. I DEFINITELY recommend Cheikh and his company Chams Electrical for any electrical work (larger or small)!

Great job and value installing a new circuit and wiring for our EV charger.  Cheik is very amiable and will do his best to meet your expectations.  Would trust for any electrical work I might need in the future.

I had them install a NEMA 14-50 power outlet for my Tesla and the process was extremely smooth and fast. I emailed to inquire the installation process and received a call within a day to go over the details. Soon after, I got a call from Cheikh to schedule the installation and was able to get it done the next day. Overall the whole process took less than 48 hrs from the email to the job completion and at a very reasonable price!

Cheikh is so nice and helpful. I didn't have too many questions but I really appreciated how he made sure to explain what he's doing and asked if I had any questions. The actual job took about 30 minutes and he made sure that no mess was left after the installation.

Overall, I highly recommend this company! If I ever need  electrical services done, I'm definitely calling Chams. They came highly recommended from forums and on Tesla's website.

They came out within one day of me speaking with them about installing a Nema 14-50 outlet. They were quick, very friendly and able to answer any questions I had. He was very courteous and willing to answer other electrical questions I had. I will not hesitate to use them again for any electrical need.

Tesla Charger install - had a difficult install since my breaker wasn't in my garage. They ran the cable from the breaker on the side of my house through the attic. The install was clean and professional. Didn't take as long as I thought it would either. They were well versed in the best practices for charge my Tesla. Been just under a month now and everything is working perfectly.

I needed a 240 volt line, and was referred here by many people in my neighborhood. They responded very quickly, and were able to come out the next day. Super nice people, came with masks on, and clean job! Thank you so much!

We have used Chams Electrical Services twice now. The first time was for the Tesla charging outlet and the second time was for a dedicated outlet for a treadmill. Both times it was very easy to schedule an appointment (call/text) and the work was done quickly and efficiently. They also take credit card which is very convenient.

Cheikh came to my house to install the Tesla charger plug and he was very professional and flexible he even have to come his day off because I was going to get my car soon and he did. He is very knowledgeable about all kind of electrical work but specially about Tesla. He even owns one Model S. He have the parts and can give you suggestions. Great job at a great price.

Cheikh is a tesla.com recommended Tesla HPWC installer, so I emailed him on Sunday evening, and he called me around 9:00 Monday morning. We talked for five minutes about options, and he said he could put a 60A breaker in my garage's panel and conduit a wire to the far side of my garage, where the charger needed to go. I asked when could we schedule it, and he said I can be there in an hour.

Even though I was at work, he sent me pictures representing the work he suggested, arrived on time, and got the job done without supervision or input from me, in under three hours. He had the charger in stock, as well as all the parts needed. The work is solid and exactly what I expected.  He then sent my photos of the completed work and just left me a bill, not even asking for payment. (Of course, this focus on the work and not on the money compelled me pay immediately!)

It was as nearly as perfect a contractor transaction as I can imagine. I most highly recommend Cheikh for all Tesla installations.

Great work. Chams installed my wall charger for my Tesla in my garage today. Quick, neat, friendly service, and fair pricing. I would definitely use them again in the future and recommend.

The crew showed up and installed a NEMA 14-50 outlet in the garage for a reasonable price in a little over an hour. If I were doing the job I would have run conduit down the side of my house to install the outlet since that was easiest, but they went the extra mile to route it through the attic for a cleaner install. No mess and great quality.

Shaq was very nice and professional from start to finish. He answered all of my questions and was able to provide me with a quote very quickly. I especially loved how personable he was with me. If I called he always picked up the phone and addressed me by name immediately. He also provided all of the equipment needed, even the wall charger. Upon arriving to my home he got straight to work and was done installing my Tesla wall charger in about 30 min. He left nothing behind and I have already recommended to friends and family to use him. You won't be disappointed.

I hired Cham's to install a NEMA 14-50 power outlet. Cheik and his crew installed the new plug today and it works well.  My breaker box is on the outside near my backyard on the opposite side of the house.  They ran a line down the side of my house, into my garage from the outside and across my garage.  Work looks nice and outside hole is sealed up well.  I recommend them.  Priced Well too

Chams installed a Tesla charging station for me at my home using a NEBA 14-50 plug for 850$. The installation was successful however the experience was uncomfortable. the technician , Shaq, was very rude to the point of being uncomfortable. I asked him just a few simple questions about the install and he responded like he was annoyed with me.  he was very unprofessional.  I asked to see his electrician license and he just responded with disgust and annoyance. He never did show me the license. Was so uncomfortable that I just let him complete the job and hoped for the best.

If I knew this before I would have selected a different company.

He's a consummate professional. I had just finished texting him for a quote and within 5 seconds he was calling back. He came out and gave me a free quote. He showed up on the scheduled date and exact time. His work was clean and professional. And he's a super nice guy. I highly recommend him.

Great electrician if you're looking to install a Tesla high power wall connector (HPWC) or a NEMA 14-50 outlet.  Cheikh seems like an honest, hardworking guy, as all his reviews on the Tesla forums also indicate.  

My electrical panel is on the outside of my house by the garage.  Cheikh had to make 20 ft run down the side of my house, then install the NEMA 14-50 outlet on the other side of the wall (inside my garage).  The whole job took about 3 hours.  Price was $500 (I live in Fort Bend so he did not have to pull a permit).  He also threw in a J hook to hang the charging cord :)

Tip: he's very busy the last 1-2 weeks of every quarter.  Cheikh said 95% of the work he does is Tesla related.  Tesla is very delivery-heavy at the end of every quarter.  My appt happened to be Mar 27th, and he was not able to get to my house until 6pm and worked until 9pm.  For more timely appointments, try and avoid scheduling any work during the end of quarter rush.

Will definitely use him again for any electrical work that needs to be done in the future.  Highly recommended!

Cheikh was highly recommended by Tesla (website and in galleria). He provided an extremely competitive quote after a brief (~5 min) chat and few pictures to confirm setup in garage. Cheikh and his team were very professional and installed a NEMA 14-50 quickly with only a few days notice.

I would highly recommend him and Chams Electrical Services for any Tesla install or other electrical work that is needed around the house in Houston (and surrounding areas).

Shack called and showed up for a job scheduled a few days down the road. He was engaging and knew his stuff. My power juicer went up smoothly. Shared a bottle of Vita mult

Cheihk is a very nice man. He talked me through a simple fix for a GFI that had been tripped and was not noticed by me. No service call and no charge. Thanks Cheihk!

I found out about Chams Electrical Services from the Tesla website and from the Houston Area Tesla Facebook group. I contacted them about getting an outlet put in for the charger for a Tesla that I purchased. I can't say enough great things about this company! Cheikh (Shaq) Gakou was extremely professional, courteous, respectful, and competent. He did everything that he said he would within the guidelines that were quoted to me. They were no surprises or hidden fees. They arrived on time and completed the work quickly. I'm really happy with their services and would recommend them very highly to anyone. He did such a great job with the Tesla charger, that I asked him do some other electrical work in the house. He gave me a extremely good rate and was able to complete the additional work the same day. Great work overall! Great company! Very highly recommended!

Not recommend at all - I was calling and texting him few days, After he said he will install Charger at my home, He never called back, Never answer after the initial appointment. Don't waste your time on bad service, Go with someone who stand for his words and actions.

Cheikh showed up as the first recommended electrician service on Tesla website, and he is also very reputable on Tesla forum. It is no wonder why everyone wants to recommend him due to his superb service. His team is very punctual in appointment and really professional with their work. He added a new breaker for my panel to install a NEMA 14-50 outlet for my Tesla Model 3. The work took an hour (perhaps a little more for other houses as my house has an easy setting), was very clean, and everything was going exactly as what we had discussed with each other a few days before. You will usually have several choices for your electric socket(s): right below the breaker near the frunk, running an extension cord on the right side near the trunk (if you park on the right side), or running an extension cord on the left of the garage (if you park on the left side). The basic cost is usually $300 for a socket right below your breaker panel, and the extension cord is going to cost $100 extra for approximately every 15ft. Trust me, the 240V NEMA extension cord is really expensive, and it has to be at least 10 gauge and lower (heavy duty); otherwise, the cord is going to melt with that high voltage. This topic has been discussed a lot on the Tesla forum that many people want to extend the length of their charging cable to 50-100ft. You do not want to run regular 10 gauge that you can purchase from Home Depot to save $100; it is not worth the risk, and the long cable also reduce the efficiency of the Tesla charger. That's why Tesla strictly recommends to not using any extension cord for their charger. $100 for 15ft, including installation (with cover protection and secured bracket), is extremely worth to do.

Cheikh also installed an additional hook to organize the cord for my Gen 2 Mobile Connector, which really helps to relieve my worry about the 20-ft long electric cable lying around my garage. At the end of the day, you have an option to pay an extra $300 to get a city inspector to come to inspect his work and gives you the safety certificate. Many people got their certificate, and they said that it is not worth $300 for someone to do less work, look around for less than 20 minutes, and get pay the same rate with the electrician. Therefore, I did not use that option. However, Cheikh has a warranty of 5 years for his work, so I have no problem to talk to him if there is any issue happened within the next 5 years. However, it has been 3 months so far without any problem with my charger plugging all the time, which is also the right thing one should do (don't plug and unplug your charger every day because it will physically damage the 240V electric socket; there is completely no electric flowing through the charger other than light up the green LED, so the charger is safe for plugging in all the time).

Besides Tesla electric installation, Chiekh also does several electrical services at a reasonable price. I did ask him to install an electrical socket (with weather cover protection) outside of my garage to plug into my security camera, which is awesome, as I can solve the problem of how to power up my camera without taking it down to for charging its battery sometimes.

Very good electrician. Quick reply and really easy to get a hold of. Most of his business is related to doing installs for Tesla home charging, and he's the first electrician that shows up on the Tesla website as well. Also had the best pricing out of numerous quotes. Showed up exactly on time and did a very quick and professional install. Took care scheduling city inspection as well. Would definitely recommend.

I had a great experience with Chams Electrical Service. They were fairly priced for the Houston market, and the installation of our Tesla Gen 3 wall connector was done correctly. I had the pleasure of working with Cheikh. I recommend his services for any electrical work.

Ok service. Spoke to Cheikh for two weeks and he he gave a good price. Today, at the last moment he sent one of his workers today,  which was fine and Cheikh assured that his worker knows what he was doing. His worker was quick and in the process did not end up a perfect job.  But ended up with an acceptable Job. The dry wall (which was not touched before since the house was bought) came out near the wall socket (see attached picture) and rather than accepting the mistake (or a job that does not look perfect) Cheikh argued that anything can happen at work.  Not acceptable from someone who Tesla recommends. The plate is not straight and is Bend. I need to get a drywall guy to fix it. Recommend to use Cheikh and wait if he is not free.

Cheikh is fantastic. He has done 3 different Tesla installations for me. The first was an at home  charging station that required a new breaker and line. The second was a more temporary solution using the existing dryer outlet and converting it for quicker charging than standard plug. Just called him for the third installation, which will be similar to 2nd. He is quick, very responsive and a pleasure to work with. He was creative in recommending less costly strategies to accommodate my needs at the time. Highly recommend him. Will be calling him again when my new garage is built so he can install my permanent at home charging station.

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

Very prompt service.. got my charger installed on a Sunday ..during world cup soccer season :) .. friendly service..recommend!

Cheikh came highly recommended (Dealership/Tesla). Very fast service and the most impressive part is he has Tesla charger's for sell as well. Had I known I wouldn't have wasted my time ordering from Tesla. Great service , great team.

A little difficult to get a hold of at first. Very competitive price given. Once scheduled, Work was very clean and quick. Would definitely use again!

cheikh showed up at night. installed in less than an hour a NEMA 14-50 for my tesla model x.  he's a nice guy and hardworking with excellent services.  i would recommenced him highly and his price is reasonable.

Thank you so much
