Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Flickering lights, a tripped breaker that won't reset, an EV charger you finally want installed correctly: electrical work in Houston is not a DIY afternoon. Every electrician on this page holds a 4.9 or a perfect 5.0, and together they've collected over 900 Google reviews, so the differentiator here isn't quality, it's what kind of job each one is best set up to handle.

Short answer: Nextdoor Electric leads on volume with 4.9 stars across 356 reviews, covering everything from panel upgrades to EV chargers. Balanced Electric holds a perfect 5.0, and Zuniga West Electric stands out for chandelier and high-ceiling fixture work. Expect service call or diagnostic fees, with panel and larger installs running into the low thousands.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average, review volume measures how many customers have actually reviewed the company relative to others on this page, and confidence weighs the two together, since a perfect score from a small sample counts for less than a high score from hundreds of reviews. Recency checks how current the reviews are. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What does hiring an electrician cost in Houston? (2026)

Cost depends heavily on the scope: a single outlet repair is a very different job from a full panel upgrade, generator install, or EV charger. Reviewers on this page cite service calls in the low hundreds for smaller fixes and costs climbing into the low thousands for panel replacements and larger installs.

Serving all of Houston

These electricians cover the greater Houston metro, including Missouri City, west Houston, the inner loop, and surrounding suburbs. Whether you’re searching for an electrician near me for a tripped breaker or planning an EV charger install, most of these companies can schedule a technician quickly.

What to ask before you hire an electrician

Are you a licensed master electrician in Texas?
Is the service call fee credited toward the repair?
Will the work require a city inspection or permit?
What’s the warranty on parts and labor?
Do you offer emergency or after-hours service?
Can you provide a written estimate before starting work?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these electricians?

We identified electricians with a meaningful Google presence in Houston and ranked them by a mix of rating, review volume, and how recently customers have been reviewing them.

How often is this updated?

This page was last verified in August 2026 using live Google Business data, and we refresh it periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do I need a permit for electrical work in Houston?

Many electrical jobs, including panel upgrades and rewiring, require a permit and inspection under City of Houston code. A licensed electrician should handle that process for you.

Can any of these electricians install an EV charger?

Yes. Several companies on this list, including Nextdoor Electric, Zuniga West Electric, and Balanced Electric, have reviews specifically mentioning EV charger installs.

The bottom line

Nextdoor Electric’s combination of review volume and a 4.9 average makes it the safest default for most Houston electrical work. For a genuinely perfect track record, even on a smaller sample, Balanced Electric is worth calling too.
