"The technician Drew is great. I used them twice so far. Once for a light install w/ switch in the pantry and again for an outlet. Drew I did a wonderful job on both. He tried to make minimal cuts to my drywall on both jobs. I would definitely use them again."

"Victor was very prompt, very clean and very professional. He came in and did his job quickly. Once completed, he explained all that he did. I did not tell him that the HVAC had been serviced recently and I state that as he did not try to sell any additional services or unnecessary repairs. I liked his friendly demeanor and his professionalism."

"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 recently hired an Chau dang electric to upgrade my breaker panel, replace breakers, and install an additional panel for a generator. He showed up on time, was very professional, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The installation was done clean and organized, and he made sure everything was up to code. I really appreciated his attention to detail and the quality of his work. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing electrical work."

"A1 Plus Electrical had the best price, and the electricians and plumber did excellent work! The only problem experienced was that it took 5 to 6 weeks for A1 Plus to get the permits approved after stating that they could get the permits approved and install the generator within 2 weeks. All other companies couldn't do the work for at least 2 months or longer! I had to contact A1 Plus general manager to get things moving after several permit submissions were rejected by the city. A1 Plus mitigated this time inconvenience by installing an electrical outlet in the garage at no cost, and once the permits were approved, everything was done within 7 days. Permits were approved on Friday, and installation started on the following Tuesday, and city permit inspections were done on the following Friday! All within one week! Would I hire A1 Plus to install my generator in the future? YES!"

"Communication is great. They answer all your questions. Tech is out when they say they will be there. Very friendly people and very fair. No issues what so ever. We added a 220v outlet in the garage for our new EV car and only took about an hour."

"Although he had some unusual issues with the new generation Ring Doorbell cameras, everything else went smoothly. The house has 12 volt transformer supplying the two doorbells and it had to be upgraded to 24 volts to work with the new Ring doorbells. We found we also had to upgrade the interior doorbell. Although it took longer with the unplanned issues, the pricing was transparent and reasonable. All of the other electrical circuits, outlets, switch, floodlights, porch and patio lights, and replacing a 12 volt transformer for garden lights were perfect.."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Katy, TX

To select and hire an electrician for your light switch installation, start by evaluating candidates as you would for any skilled position. Ask detailed questions, request a written quote, and verify their licensing credentials. This careful screening prevents unexpected fees and ensures every aspect of the installation, including any drywall repairs, complies with code.

A light switch can malfunction due to compromised wiring or overheating conditions. Faulty connections and excess heat diminish the switch’s performance. If you hear crackling, popping, or hissing sounds when toggling the switch, this indicates active electrical faults that pose a safety hazard and demand immediate professional inspection. Prompt attention prevents further damage and ensures reliable operation.

Installing a light switch takes 30 minutes or less, on average. The installation time depends on the switch type, with dimmer switches requiring additional time compared to standard on-off switches. While the hardware replacement might be completed in 15 minutes, it's essential to adhere to safety protocols, like turning off the circuit breaker and verifying there's no power, for a safe and code-compliant installation.
