"Very professional and a reasonable price. I recommend to anyone looking for dependable electrical work."

"It was a complicated installation because the original box size is not made anymore, and fitting a new box into the same space was very tight. Texas Electrical (SW) charged me $120 for an estimate and then refused to do the job. But Robert Vielma of Mr. Electric conquered the job in 100-degree heat. He also added a surge protector. No doubt who I will call if I need electrical work done again. A++++"

"Very knowledgeable professionals. Installed outlet on kitchen island and troubleshot dead outlets and fixtures. Great job and everything works!"

"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.)"

"Installed a manual transfer switch for a portable generator. Did a great job! Thank you!"

"John and his apprentice were awesome. Their level of customer service and attention to detail made our electric improvements a breeze. We would highly recommend their services. We had a breaker box replaced, lights added to the interior/exterior of garage, gfci outlets changed out, ceiling fans and recessed lighting installed. They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional."

"I had 2 other electricians that could not figure out how to fix my issue but Chau found a solution. He is professional and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Chau Dang, he can definitely handle any job no matter how complicated it may be. Thank you!"
