Electrician in Huntsville, TX
Electrical service for Huntsville houses, rentals and lake-community homes, with city and county permits handled for you.
Electrical service for Huntsville homes, from Tomball.
Huntsville is about 1 hour 15 minutes from our Tomball shop, depending on traffic.
Huntsville is the Walker County seat and home to Sam Houston State University, and the housing shows it. There are older houses in town, rental properties near campus, and homes in the Elkins Lake community, which began developing in the early 1970s. All of it sits in the pine country along I-45, and each type of property has its own typical electrical problems.
Wired Electrical & Generators is a family-owned electrician at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball, in business since 2005, licensed, insured and rated A+ by the BBB. Huntsville is about an hour and a quarter from our shop, so we plan each visit carefully and bring what the job calls for.
What Huntsville wiring has to handle.
Inside the city or out in the county
Inside Huntsville city limits, an electrical permit is required for new systems, equipment replacement and major repairs, and the city's permits office is on State Highway 75 North. Outside the city, Walker County Planning and Development handles development permits and floodplain review from its office on University Avenue. We work out which applies to your address, pull the permit and schedule the inspection.
Elkins Lake and the wooded neighborhoods
Elkins Lake is a deed-restricted lake community run by a recreation corporation with an architectural control committee. Homes there date from the early 1970s forward, which is old enough to be worth a look for outdated panels, worn receptacles and circuits added over the years that were never planned together. Exterior work such as lighting may need committee approval, and we give you the details to submit.
Rental houses near campus
Owners of houses that rent to students and staff call us for turnover work: outlets that no longer hold a plug, ceiling fans, GFCI protection, and breakers that trip because tenants run space heaters and window units. We fix the cause, not just the symptom, and write up what we did so you have a record.

Questions we get from Huntsville.
Do I need a permit in Huntsville?
Inside the city, electrical permits are required for new systems, equipment replacement and major repairs. Outside the city, Walker County has its own development and floodplain review. Wired confirms which applies, pulls the permit and schedules the inspection.
Do you work in Elkins Lake?
Yes. If your project needs approval from the architectural control committee, we supply the product and placement details it asks for before we start.
Which utility serves Huntsville?
Entergy Texas serves Huntsville proper and Elkins Lake. Sam Houston Electric Cooperative and Mid-South Synergy serve parts of rural Walker County. Check your bill to see which company is yours; we work on the house side of the meter either way.
How do I get started?
Call (713) 467-1125. We schedule a visit, look at the problem and send a written proposal before any work begins.
Do I get a written estimate before work starts?
Yes. After we look at the job we give you a written, itemized estimate, and nothing starts until you approve it. For bigger jobs in Huntsville, like a panel change or a new circuit for an EV charger, the estimate also lists the permit and inspection. Call (713) 467-1125 to set up a visit.
