"First time residential customer here. I had a fantastic experience with Mr. Electric of Houston Midtown, specifically with electricians Franklin and Zack. Franklin was very professional, polite and knowledgeable, he evaluated my situation, advising me of my options and a competitive quote. We agreed and he got right to work with Zack the following Monday. Franklin and Zack were both very polite, professional, meticulous and clearly they take pride in their work. Since there were several new light fixtures being installed, they both communicated clearly and timely to make sure that the fixtures, switches get installed in the preferred locations. Wiring and overall fixtures alignment was perfect. Breaker box is also now up to code with surge protector and grounding wire which was missing. The job was done with such care and expertise that the benefits truly outweigh the cost. It's a worthwhile investment for the betterment and safety of my home. I highly recommend their services! I will definitely use them as my electric company from now on."

"Jimmy was great! He was able to schedule my appt very quickly. The work was for a buyer inspection report repair that was needed on a property we were selling. He arrived on time (in fact, a little early, so bonus points in my book for that). The work was done promptly & professionally. Plus he took care of another small issue with a loose outlet in the kitchen, that I asked him about just on the spot. Whole experience was 100% positive from start to finish. Can't ask for anything more than that! Price was reasonable. I'm a happy customer & will definitely give Jimmy a call for any electrical work in the future."

"My technician Brian was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and shared that knowledge in a very easy to understand manner. He offered me suggestions for my concerns without trying to offer me products or services that were not needed. We had them upgrade our electrical panel to allow our generator to power our home. Brian not only showed us the process, he helped me to put my generator together and get started. A true professional and we will be calling him back out to install our EV Charger when the time comes. Highly recommend!!"

"The technician Francisco was prompt and on time for my appointment. I had one fan moved from one room to another and new fans installed in one bedroom and outside. He had to go through the attic and install the wiring for the fan outside. He was very professional and explained everything he was doing. Would definitely recommend mister electric to anyone needing any type of electrical work done."

"Yesterday Miguel and Maro did an outstanding job installing a 75 lb elaborate chandelier in our dining room. They had to hang it from a 14 foot tray ceiling and upgrade/ reinforce the mount inside the attic. Weâ ve utilized Enoch deviously for a number of AC, water heater, and lighting projects. We highly recommend them for anything and all similar home projects. Wendy and John"

"Mr. Rosales, a Master Electrician, was respectful of my very clean house, he showed me that he cared about the concerns of his customers, by taking time to explain a situation where I was having trouble with an electrician that Home Depot recommended as the best of four .The electrician had put a live wire in a commercial box and set it on the floor in front of the dishwasher that was not up to CODE It was not a GSCL plug that is required for new dishwashers. I will definitely call Mr. Rosales for all of my electrical work in the future."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Katy, TX

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
