I called Power Surge on short notice to install a plug for a generator in order to prepare for an upcoming winter storm. Robert and his team came quickly and listened and gave advice on what was needed for my home and for this job. He was very knowledgeable and gave advice for follow up steps and even offered to help me hook up the generator once it arrives.
In my experience, they respect their customers, charge reasonable rates, and have a high level of expertise. I will call again if I am ever in need of an electrician.

Called Tyler regarding an electrical issue with my HVAC system. Tyler came out that day and repaired the issue. He was very communicative and pointed out areas of concern. Even though it was late in the evening Tyler did not rush, he took the time to explain the issues and provide options. Tyler was upfront and very honest. I will be using Tyler in the future and recommend him for any of your electrical needs

Tyler was extremely communicative and extremely knowledgeable! He didn’t attempt to overcharge for an issue that was simpler than he thought. He cares about the common man, and got the job done the same day I called. Great job!

Treivion Sheppard
This was a great project. It was by no means a simple project but Tyler made several good suggestions as to how to make the original design better. After some discussion, Tyler's design got implemented.
Project cost was very reasonable and the project got done in a reasonable time frame.
I couldn't be happier with Power Surge Electric and they will definitely get more work coming from this household.
An A+ company, highly recommended

Tyler of Power Surge Electrical replaced my outdated breaker panel, installed power surge protection, an external disconnect and a generator connection point. I'm very pleased with the quality of his work and reasonable pricing. Additionally, he coached me on connecting the generator to the house circuitry and testing to make sure all operated correctly which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Tyler for all electrical work.

I submitted a request for a 220 volt to be added to my garage for my new EV to charge. They contacted me right away and gave the best price compared to all the other companies. Tommie did a fantastic job, I was shocked (pun intended) that he was able to do the job quickly and without having to turn off the power. Excellent service and communication, I highly recommend them and am likely to use them in the future.

I appreciate the Master Electrician and the team. They worked late many hours, until I had power back to my home the same day. New underground lines, from the Centerpoint utility transformer to my home meter, had to be installed.

He was so kind and generous in helping me out since he was already here. Tyler is very professional and is very respectful. He will definitely be my go to guy for future needs!

I couldn’t recommend Tyler and Power Surge Electric more! Excellent communication, prompt, great and timely work and the price was right! Give them a call for any of your electrical needs. He was even able to quote us on another project we are considering and it beat the competition by a few hundred dollars. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

This is a great company to do business with. The customer service is awesome! You actually get to talk to a person and they do what is needed to get your power back. I don't know of another company that would take a call during the holiday season and have a solution for you to have your power available in less than 24 hours. Friday 12/27/24 at 1:17 pm was when I called and Saturday 12/28/24 at 1:00 pm was when I had full power to my home.

Power Surge Electric, LLC replaced my old breaker box and added a connection for my generator plus a surge protector. Total time for the instillation was 3 hours and they left the work site clean and hauled off all the debris. If it had not rained earlier today you would not be able to tell they had been here, except for the foot prints in the wet grass. They were professional, friendly, and did a first rate job. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing electrical work, and as a matter of fact, I did recommend them to a friend wanting a generator hook up installed at her house after she saw my installation.

Tyler is absolutely awesome!!! Ive been with out power for about 5 days now due to hurricane beryl. Fortunate enough to have a generator to run some fans and the fridge and was able to get in contact with Tyler to install the connection directly to the house . This guy is so amazing and professional and willing to go that extra mile and showed up to my house at 8pm after what i would assume already a long days worth of work . It’s people like Tyler that showcase there is still some amazing and hard working people in the Houston community.

They were quick to respond, gave me a very fair quote, and were able to replace the line the next day. They were extremely professional, very thorough, and wonderful to work with. I would recommend them above any others.
