Kast Electrical Services

Kast Electrical Services serves as electricians in Houston, Texas. The company handles electrical work for residential properties in a city that sees its share of severe weather and has many older homes with outdated wiring. Homeowners here regularly need assistance with power restoration after hurricanes and updates to electrical systems that have aged over time. Their team responds to service requests for various repairs and installations that keep homes functional and up to current standards where possible. Houston weather patterns often lead to urgent calls for generator ties and circuit fixes that prevent further damage during extended outages common in the area.

Electricians from the company handle repairs on old kitchen outlets in houses with existing wires that still carry power after initial checks by two technicians who arrive on schedule. Following storms such as Hurricane Beryl they connect generator mains to house boxes and tie air conditioning units into those systems while adding light fixtures throughout properties. Additional work includes attempts at 240 volt outlets for in home electric vehicle chargers though some installations have required later visits from a master electrician to evaluate problems like burnout or incorrect wall cuts that left areas needing extra attention. These tasks reflect the range of daily calls electricians face when addressing both routine maintenance and storm related demands across Houston neighborhoods.

Customers note mixed results on speed with some arrivals happening promptly yet quality often falls short on code compliance and lasting performance leading to hazards or quick failures. Price discussions occur upfront but communication drops when follow up issues surface and cleanup after cuts or installations receives criticism in several accounts. Overall reviews highlight inconsistent outcomes across speed quality and reliability dimensions that produce the current average. DIRT Score 3.08 from 21 reviews on Finds.

“They're ok. They showed up on time. I have an older house, and I could see they weren't happy about that. Showed the two guys my kitchen where the two old outlets I wanted repaired. They checked the old wires and found that they still had power to them. Gave me a price, I said" OK", and they went to work but before they started handed them two new GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter ) outlets i had at the time because at one time I was thinking about doing it myself and According to the NEC (National Electrical Code) all outlets 6 feet from any water source should be GFCI Certified but, Then I thought I should let the professionals do it. I stepped outside and let them work because I didn't like being watched when I worked. 20 to 25 minutes later, they were finished. I thought ok, took a look at saw two basic 110 outlets. I said, "What happened to the GFCI outlets I gave you ?" They said my wires were too old. I thought that's weird because when I bought my old house it came with the GFCIs installed. They asked me if I wanted to test to new outlets. I plugged a small fan into each outlet. They worked. I said "thanks" and paid them. They left. Later, I checked to see if they were ground. One failed, called back for them to return, and checked it again because I was worried about power surges and fires. They came back, checked, and assured me its ok. Not feeling 100% sure. I bought two surge protectors and installed them. They're Ok.”

“Nothing done to code. left with a fire hazard When you confront them, they pretend like they don't know you or didn't do any work for you. And they don't give you an invoice. That's why they have several different listings.And several different numbers. Very shady business practices They pigtailed copper directly to aluminum wiring using noncompliant connectors. You're better off doing it yourself”

“Jay Electric Services did an excellent job hooking up generator main connection to our house Electric box. We hired them right a day after the hurricane beryl hit. They even connected the ac to the generator and installed some light fixtures for us. They were professional, friendly, and quick. Definitely will recommend them to friends and family.”

“This company installed a 240v outlet for in home EV car charger but it burned out in less than a week. Technician began cutting into the wall before realizing it was the wrong location and they did not clean up the area below the outlet. Their master electrician came by to assess the situation after I explicitly told them not to and defended the job his technicians did but never offered an explanation of why the outlet burned out. Hired Right Pro Electrical Services to replace the outlet and complete the job the right way.”

“Hired them to fix my bathroom fan. Within 2 minutes of looking at my fan they said I had to replace it (it was old, seemed reasonable). They didn't tell me what they were replacing it with, but luckily I had photos of my previous fan to compare with. My previous fan CFM was 75 and they replaced it with the cheapest 50 CFM fan. I didn't notice until after when my bathroom steamed up more than usual. Called them up and they said they replaced mine with the minimum per code. I said I wasn't happy, but they said they'd replace it with the fan I'd want if I purchased it. When the techs went to install the 2nd fan they told me this was the exact same fan (it was not), and they asked how I knew the original they installed was 50 CFM and I had to explain it to them, which doesn't sit right with me if they're supposed to be the experts. I'd give them a worse review, but they made it right by coming back free of charge and reimbursed me for the cost of the 1st fan. Maybe I got inexperienced techs or caught them on a job they're not experts in, but can't say I'd recommend them to others.”
