We list 889 electricians in Houston, Texas and score each one on the things that actually predict whether a job goes well: review volume and rating, how long they've been working, whether the license checks out, and how fast they answer. That score is the DIRT Score (0–5).

Of the 889 electricians we list in Houston, 608 have a DIRT Score, and 371 have at least 10 Google reviews. The average DIRT Score in Houston for this trade is 3.3 (0–5 scale); the highest is 5.0. 5 Category Leaders are already awarded for Houston electricians on this page.

Ask for the TDLR license number and verify it — Texas publishes the register for free. Ask who's pulling the permit; if the answer is "we don't need one" for panel or service work, get a second opinion.

Gulf humidity and storm seasons punish cheap materials — ask about warranties that still mean something after the next tropical system.

How much do electricians charge per hour in Houston, Texas?

We don't publish an hourly rate for Houston electricians until we can back it with aggregated, anonymised numbers from real jobs. Get three written quotes for the same scope, ask whether the number is flat-rate or hourly, and ask whether a trip charge sits on top.

Who is the most affordable electrician in Houston?

We don't rank by price. Get three quotes for the same scope in writing, and ask each one whether the trip charge is included or added. The cheapest number is often the one with the most left out of it.

How do I find a trustworthy electrician in Houston?

Check three things. One: the license — verify the TDLR electrician license on the state register. Two: the review pattern, not just the score. Three: whether they'll put the scope in writing before they start.

How can you tell if a electrician is any good?

Read the two-star reviews, not the five-star ones. Two-star reviews tell you what happens when the job goes sideways — whether they came back, argued, or charged again to fix their own work.

How do I know if a electrician is overcharging me?

Get two more quotes for the identical scope, in writing. Wide spreads usually mean different scopes. Watch for a low quote that grows once work starts — a written scope is the only thing that stops that.

What's a normal call-out or trip charge in Houston?

We don't publish a made-up Houston trip-charge number. Ask each electrician whether the first visit is a trip charge, a diagnostic fee, or rolled into a flat job price — before they roll.

Do electricians in Texas have to be licensed?

Yes. Electricians in Texas must be licensed through TDLR. The public register is free to check — ask for the license number before anyone opens a panel.
