S Branch Electric

S Branch Electric is a Houston based outfit that takes care of electrical work in residential homes throughout the city and especially in the Spring Branch area. They focus on emergency repairs and standard fixes for homeowners dealing with power outages and appliance connections. Technicians like Gustavo handle calls that come in at odd hours, getting out to properties where something has gone wrong with the wiring or breakers. In a place like Houston where storms and heavy use can knock out circuits fast, these electricians keep things running by showing up when needed and sorting out the issues on site. They stick to straightforward residential jobs that keep lights on and machines working without dragging things out.

Gustavo from S Branch Electric takes on specific tasks like responding to a Saturday call when a kitchen fuse blew from running an air fryer and a toaster at once. He showed up Monday ready to work and went through the system in a professional way to get it fixed right. Homeowners have called him in for a new electric dryer from Costco that was not grounded properly during install, and he sorted that out too. In one case he repaired a breaker to bring power back to the laundry area while cutting down on what the bill would have been otherwise. They stick to set prices for the jobs and keep the homeowner in the loop the whole time so nothing gets added on later.

Customers keep coming back because the service moves fast when power is out and the quality of the repairs lasts. They like how the prices stay reasonable with no surprises after the fact, and the communication stays clear from the first call to the end of the job. Reviews mention the technician being polite and thorough every time, which builds trust for repeat work around the house. This approach shows up across the feedback for getting things done without extra hassle in Houston homes. DIRT Score 4.35 from 16 reviews on Finds.

“Gus was fantastic to work with. I called him on a Saturday after I blew a fuse in my kitchen by running my air fryer and toaster at the same time, and he actually answered the phone — which already impressed me. He showed up right on time Monday and was extremely professional and thorough. Gus took the time to check both appliances and clearly explained that my air fryer was pulling about 1700 watts, which exceeded the 20-amp circuit. He also inspected the breaker box and gave me helpful, practical advice, including recommending a whole-house surge protector as a smart future upgrade — no pressure, just solid guidance. If you live in Spring Branch or the surrounding Houston neighborhoods and want an electrician who is knowledgeable, punctual, and easy to talk to, I would absolutely recommend Gus. I’ll be calling him again for any future electrical work.”

“While I would still heartily recommend the electrician we used before for a different electric job, I also sincerely recommend Mr. Gustavo/S Branch Electric nearby who recently came over and helped our family when our new electric clothes dryer from costco wasn't installed properly (it wasn't grounded) and made a bad smell on its test run. I'm grateful he was able to fit us in same day before the weekend even though I called on a Friday and that he installed some sort of surge protection at our breaker box too. He was kind, tidy, safe (didn't do work outside when it was storming) plus great at communicating when he was coming and what our problem was, etc... I've got kids and it meant a lot to me that he checked out what the problem was right away and gave me some peace of mind about our outlet in the laundry room. It also meant a lot to me to know sooner than later that the problem was the dryer installation job so I could start getting the ball rolling on obtaining a replacement. Thank you, Mr. Gustavo!”

“We used SB Electric twice recently and was very satisfied with the quality and timeliness of Gustavo’s service. He is a skilled electrician, polite and communicated well with me. He provided set prices for the work and afterwards I encouraged him to price work time and material for greater transparency. I will use him again if I get better clarity on his price.”

“Gustavo not only fixed the issue with our breaker to give us back power in the washing room, but also saved us money. I will be referring him to other potential clients. Thanks again Gustavo!!!”

“Gus was a great electrician. He was punctual, clean, and his pricing was very competitive. I wish there were more honest electricians out there like him. Highly recommend”
