Get matched with top attic or whole house fan installers in Katy, TX

"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.)"

"I highly recommend this company!! They replaced my air conditioner and cleaned my air ducts. I couldn't be happier with the results! Jeff Lucas and his boss made sure I knew all of my options and stayed within budget. The team that came out for both services were thorough and made sure we were satisfied before they left. A great company!!"

"I had an Solar Powered Attic fan installed. Although the initial installation was not conducted properly I documented my concerns with pictures and sent them an email summarizing displease with the installation. I received a call from the owner who appreciated my feedback and understood my concern. He then sent out another tech who looked over the installation, made the necessary corrections (proper sealing\mounting etc). The owner himself came to my house and apologized in person and made sure I was satisfied with his companies services. When the tech was finished he took pictures of the installation from the roof to show me and assured me the fan was sealed properly. I really appreciated the concern and attention from the techs and owner to make sure I was a satisfied customer. Honestly if the 2nd tech was the one who did the initial installation of the fan I would have given 5 stars across the board"

"Everything went great. Chris took his time to get it 100% right and safe. We also had a couple of light boxes installed in our kitchen. This was our second time using OnTime electric and if/when the need for an electrician is needed we will only call them again. Great job."

"WOW. It went VERY well. I knew what I wanted, and these guys were able to tell me why I couldn't do what I wanted, and then gave me options on what I *could* do based on how my house was built. They very easily could have done exactly what I asked (which I was willing to pay extra for), but it would not have left me with a safe installation. These guys had such integrity, they were incredible. The next time I have equipment I need to have installed or mounted, I will go right to them. OH and the quality of the work was INCREDIBLE. Super, super happy with them!"

"Mr. Abraham did an excellent job assembling furniture, installing a ceiling fan, and installing a blind. His is very efficient, professional responsive; on time; shoe-covers over his shoes; mask-on-face,) friendly, and his prices/rates are fair & reasonable. I would certainly recommend him to others looking for handyman services."

"Very professional experienced electrician installed two fans very well. We will definitely call them again should we need an electrician."

"Outstanding service. All electrical problems resolved in a timely manner and new ceiling fans installed quickly."

"I Highly Recommend Stacy Calahan at Calahan Construction & Air! It was in middle of summer 2019, hotter than you can imagine inside my house even with 2 portable a/c units running in LR trying to mitigate some of the heat while waiting on my a/c company to help me. I found Calahan Construction & Air... Stacy came out quickly diagnosed the problem right away, my unit was dead (I had been nursing it over last few years) but I couldn’t purchase a new unit until I got in a place to fund a house remodel. So, I needed a used 5 ton unit - not an easy ask, but Stacy found one and installed it w/in 24 hours for a price that did not break the bank (about the same cost as 2 top of the line portable air conditioners, which I returned!) He was professional, responsive, and quick at a reasonable price! Stacy listened to me, took ownership of my problem, was kind & caring and best of all got the job done quickly at a price I could afford...all in the middle of summer (his busiest season) when other air conditioning companies are charging premium prices or up selling, Stacy Callahan got me what I needed not what he could sell me! His work ethic & business model are heads and shoulders above the rest, do not hesitate to use this company for all your A/C needs!!"

"I’m very happy with the work DVS electric did at my house. They installed ceiling fans, exhaust fans and recess lighting. It was all done professionally, very clean and fairly priced. I’m would definitely hire again."
