Residential Electrical Svcs, Inc (281)482-VOLT

A home inspector noted some issues with the breaker box that needed fixing. I emailed Billy with the inspector's report and he was able to give me an estimate. The job was done while I was at work so I'm not sure how long it took but everything looks good.

Recently, a couple outlets sparked when a laptop was plugged in. An electrician came to my 40 year old home, looked at one of the outlets and discovered the wires were lose. He fixed the wires, then strongly recommended I replace all the outlets in the house as well as the breaker box. $6500 estimate. This seemed a bit odd to me, as just a year earlier, the house was thoroughly inspected. After he left, I noticed the outlet he repaired still sparked. Unsettled by this and alarmed by his recommendation, I wanted a 2nd opinion and contacted RES. I was immediately impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness. Billy checked the outlets and suggested using surge protectors. He said the house is dated, but the outlets and breaker box are fine and there is no safety risk. If something happens, they will be happy to repair, but all is good. Charge: $0. Super impressed. I will definitely use RES for any electrical needs. It is refreshing to find a service professional with integrity.

Billy said he would send someone first thing in the morning, and that is what he did. The tech was professional, wore booties to protect my carpet and quickly changed both units out. He showed me where on this style unit the battery door for future backup battery changeout is located. To me the original $285 price seemed a bit high, but with the Angie’s List discount it was worth it to have the work completed before the next house guest arrives later today.

I called RES to replace a single circuit breaker at my rental property located in League City. Meeka (sp?), the scheduler, was delightful, very knowledgeable, and prompt in returning calls. In speaking to Meeka, I was confident I had found my go-to electrical company for all my electrical needs for my rental property, as well as friends and family. However, the electrician himself, is a different story. The electrician called my tenant and without diagnosing the problem himself, quoted a price of $1,600 – $2,000. The electrician stated he didn’t have the time to schedule the appointment for an in-person diagnosis. How can you quote a thousand dollar figure without testing a single component of a breaker panel? I was fortunate to not have suffered any damage from Harvey. I can only imagine what this company would charge those in real need for services. Unfortunately, with every major disaster comes unscrupulous home contractors, who prey upon homeowners.

Excellent - we had great service from the advice provided for working with CenterPoint Electricity to text support afterwards verifying everything was good. I would absolutely hire them again

Follow-up was scheduled on very short notice. The team arrived exactly as promised. Work was done as quickly as possible under the circumstances. The work area was cleaned up before departure.

RES did an excellent job. I called Billy, he came out the same day, and gave me an estimate that evening. It took about a week to get the job scheduled due to logistics and rain. They had to hand dig a trench across my backyard and into my neighbor's yard where the transformer was installed. Billy kept me informed of every step. He and his workers showed up on time and worked about a day and a half. I now have a much nicer installation to my meter than my original 30 year old installation. When Centerpoint came out to look at their transformer, they neglected to tell me that they could run temporary power to my meter. Billy mentioned almost as soon as I saw him. It was a lifesaver since I had no AC and the temperature was in the mid 90"s. I have already recommended RES to several of my friends.

The electrician was able to determine that there was a short in the load so the breaker was fine.

We bought a house which needed considerable electrical service needed. The crews (at least two electricians were always present) were always prompt and worked hard throughout the day. They crawled through the attic during the heat of the day and trudged through mud after a rainstorm while staying courteous and friendly the whole time. Billy and his crew were also thorough in explaining everything to me; even someone with limited understanding of electrical systems could comprehend what was happening. Additionally, Billy was always quick to respond by phone, email, and text message. All work was impeccable, and they caught and fixed many problems that were not initially caught. I have complete confidence in the workmanship of RES, and they will be my first phone call with any additional electrical needs I might have in the future.

The completed the job on time and were very professional.

It went splendidly well. Robert arrived right on time and got to work right away. He had both fan controllers replaced and installed in a manner of minutes. He was very professional. He even removed his street shoes and left them on the porch before entering the house.I would most definitely recommend this company to someone needing electrical work done and yes, I would hire them again if the need arises. They were very responsive to my needs and had someone out here the very next day. Great service!

They did excellent work in a very quick, but thorough manner, and we would gladly use them again as well as recommend them to others.

RES' estimates were on par with other providers, but the knowledge that was shown during the quoting process made me trust them so much more. The job was completed on time, and a little under budget.

It was was a joy to work with them. From the first telephone call to the completed job, they were extremely professional and always concerned about the quality of work. Billy Mendoza was quick to respond whenever we called. The quote we received was very reasonable and after watching the problems that the guys had removing the old light boxes the quote was remarkable. They are always respectful of myself and my home during the job. They did not leave until they were sure my job was completed to my satisfaction. They are the best. I would recommend them to anyone

Billy told me to check for a tripped GFI. Duh. Forgot about those. Found one on a kitchen wall that had been tripped. Reset it. Still no spark. Billy wondered if the technician had left the range unplugged. Duh #2; I had assumed it was hardwired. Sure enough, the range was not connected. Plugged it in and got sparks. Billy advised monitoring, because something had caused the GFI to trip. I greatly appreciate the diagnostics, professionalism and advice. No charge. Will definitely call them for any future electrical issues of any kind.

RES came out to check out system. Ismael did all the work & he was very meticulously checking everything. He found a few wires which had nicks in them, so for now, it is assumed they were the problem. He suggested not replacing the breaker now, but to see if the his repairs will keep the breaker from tripping. He was very friendly and worked continuously to investigate the problem. He was a very clean worker, which was appreciated. He also arrived right on time. I would use this company & Ismael again.

Billy is awesome, wonderful, everything. Everything is great great great.

He was very honest and asked me the right questions and concluded that I didn't need the service. Because of his honesty I will definitely use him in the future.

I HIGHLY recommend Residential Electrical Services. Billy and his team are highly experienced, extremely knowledgeable, courteous and prompt. The team worked together smoothly and they really appeared to enjoy what they are doing. The major repair was the electrical panel box and breakers. There were other electrical issues with the condo which they found and fixed. I felt they listened to my concerns. Communication was great with calls returned quickly. Office staff very helpful. If ever I need electrical work performed again I would not hesitate to call them.

Due to the big storm, they were pretty busy and it took a few days for them to be able to come out and do the work. But they kept me updated and let me know they were busy at the time but would get to me as soon as possible. I really appreciated they let me know they didn't forget about me. I was very pleased with the work, they pretty much knew what the problem was before they came out just from my description and they were able to complete the work quickly. Due to the damage from the lightening I plan on doing as they suggested and getting surge protection for my home.

Billy and his crew did an excellent Job, some of the nicest people in the business.

Checked AFCI Breaker. Checked wall sconces and light switches in media room and found the issue. Resolved problem. Spent 1.5 hrs at the house figuring out the issue and resolving it.

Replaced underground power cable to my house after storm floods. Billy did a great job getting things taken care of for a reasonable price.

I contacted Residential Electrical Service to replace my breaker box and meter can. Billy talked to me and explained to me what they would do upgrade my electrical service to a 200 amp breaker box. He came out to my home and explained and showed me what they would be doing. I set up a day for them to come out and do the work. But due to bad weather, they had to delay the work. Billy kept in contact with me to make sure that the new service day would work into to my work schedule. The day of the job, they told me that they would be there by 8:00am and they showed up right on time. Robert and Curtis performed the work and did a fantastic job on changing out my service. They explain to me all the work they were going to do and kept me informed every step of the way. In no time, all the work was done and the power company had the power back on. As Curtis was cleaning up the, the city inspector showed up and he explained all the work that they did. I will be using them again for any future electrical work that I might need and will recommend they to anyone that might need any electrical work. Great job guys.

It was a very positive experience. They were on time, very courteous and explained everything. Very professional.
