Colwell Electric

Colwell Electric operates out of Houston, Texas as a second-generation family-owned electrician outfit that has handled residential and commercial work across the greater Houston area since 1990. With more than thirty years on the job they run a crew that includes seven master electricians plus factory-trained technicians who show up for calls of every size. The company stays ready for emergencies around the clock and focuses on straightforward fixes plus larger upgrades without extra delays or excuses. Homeowners and businesses in Houston count on them for reliable electrical service that keeps power steady through storms and daily use.

Their crews handle panel replacements, wiring repairs, lighting installs, hot tub hookups, smoke detector work, and whole-home surge protection on the residential side. Commercial jobs include design-build projects, facility maintenance, automatic transfer switches, and EV charger station setups. Felix and Marco installed two Base batteries for home backup power and swapped out a thirty-eight-year-old panel along with its breakers. Felix returned with a crew that arrived on time and kept the site clean during another installation. Hal Havverstock and his team finished a standby generator install right before the homeowners left for vacation.

Customers rate the work quality at ten out of ten because the electricians finish jobs that last and leave the property in good shape. Response speed earns the same high marks since crews reach sites quickly for both planned work and sudden outages. Communication scores full marks too as the team explains options clearly and answers questions without rushing homeowners. These consistent results across hundreds of calls in Houston explain the strong standing. DIRT Score 5.0 from 240 reviews on Finds.
