"Jimmy was able to schedule me the same day and came in less than 2 hours. Once arrived, he checked and identified the issues and got it fixed. In addition, he installed a new outlet as well as disconnected a device per my request. Everything was done is a very professional manner. Will hire B & H Electric again."

"This was a fairly large and expensive piece of necessary home maintenance. My home is now 25 years old, and I am the original owner. My main circuit breaker had been "acting up" recently; that is, it randomly failed (opened) as the day proceeded and the temperature rose. It is housed along with all of my other circuit breakers in my main breaker box, which is directly exposed to the early afternoon sun in the late spring and early fall months. Concerned, I did a bit of research online to discover my box likely had reached end-of-life. I called 2 contractors for estimates, and chose West Houston Electric to replace the box. In addition, my original ground rod was disconnected from my home's main grounding lead, which West Houston found when they inspected my box to give me a bid. I was told the original rod was likely galvanized metal provided by the builder, and that it had likely deteriorated significantly over the 25-year life of my house. They also suggested a "whole home" surge protector to minimize the effect of voltage surges that occur, the tech said, on a daily basis. These surges, it was claimed, have a deteriorating effect on any electric devices in my house, especially on "high tech" equipment that utilized chip technology. Both bidding contractors made this claim. I must say I haven't experienced any failures in chip-based technologies in my home. But, my AC compressor, when it comes on, comes on "hard." It must draw a lot of amperage when it cycles on, and it will do so often in the summer months. (I have a "start switch" on it to minimize the abruptness of its operation, but I often wonder what it draws as it is a very loud start.) I chose West Houston Electric to do the work because their competitor found almost $6,000 worth of work to do. To their credit, the tech broke that down to "must haves," "should haves," and "nice to haves." Even so, their bid for the "must haves," the work West Houston performed, was higher. The tech was on time for the scheduled work and seemed quite knowledgeable and likable. The owner had spoken to me on the phone, and came by twice during the work to check on progress. This is a relatively long procedure, by the way. It takes about 4-5 hours start to finish, and your power will be out most of that time. The tech found one more issue that seemed prudent to address regarding a GIF breaker for my pool pump, The competing contractor had suggested that as well. Though the risk is low that a pump failure might cause electricity to flow into my pool, it was the sort of risk that entailed mortality on the down side--that circuit is 220v. It the pump failed, and it caused current to flow into the pool, and anyone was in it, it would be "curtains." If this were to occur, I could not live with myself having chosen to take the risk instead of spending about $400. So, I conceded to add the additional protection. The work proceeded well. The tech and I struck up a good conversation about lawn maintenance, a favorite chore of mine (and his), and it finished up pretty much as we expected. West Houston did a fine job for me. I will use them again as there are always a few more things to be done in a house as old as mine. ("Old" is such an odd description of a house that is 25 years old; but that is Houston for you.)"

"William, the Technician was very professional and discovered the problem right away. Then informed me that he would perform a safety check on all the electrical connections in the electrical panel free as part of the agreed on pricing. This was a really good experience and would highly recommend Mr Electric North West to anyone who need electrical help!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Katy, outdoor outlets, landscape lighting, and pool electrical systems often require attention due to humidity and frequent storms. Main electrical panels, kitchen outlets, and ceiling fans in older homes may need upgrades. Regularly inspect smart home systems and generator connections for wear. Proactively checking these areas helps prevent unexpected outages and ensures your home’s electrical system stays reliable and efficient.

Helpful?

In Katy, it’s wise to keep a non-contact voltage tester, insulated screwdrivers, wire strippers, and a reliable multimeter for routine electrical tasks. Stock up on GFCI outlets, weatherproof covers for outdoor use, surge protectors, and high-temperature electrical tape. Having outdoor-rated extension cords and spare breakers is helpful, especially during storm season, and consider keeping supplies for smart home or pool equipment handy.

Helpful?

For minor electrical issues in Katy, always shut off power at the breaker and confirm with a voltage tester before starting any work. You can safely replace light bulbs, reset tripped breakers, tighten outlet covers, or install battery-operated detectors. Avoid any repairs during storms, and use a flashlight for outages. If you notice sparking, unusual odors, or need major upgrades, contact a local professional immediately.

Helpful?

To make electrical projects in Katy safer for kids and pets, install tamper-resistant outlets and GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas. Use sliding covers on outlets, secure loose cords with protectors, and choose weatherproof covers for exterior outlets. For added safety, consider smart switches with lock features and teach children about electrical hazards to create a secure, family-friendly environment.

Helpful?

Completing electrical projects in Katy can significantly enhance your home’s value and attract more buyers. Modernizing electrical panels, upgrading to energy-efficient lighting, and installing smart home features or EV charging stations make your property stand out in the competitive Katy market. Buyers appreciate updated systems for safety and convenience, and these improvements often lead to quicker sales and stronger resale appeal.
