Emergency Electrician in Tomball, TX

When something is sparking, smells like it is burning, or the whole panel has gone dead, you need a person on the phone, not a contact form. Wired Electrical & Generators is a family-owned, licensed and insured electrician, and our phones at (713) 467-1125 are open 24/7. Our shop is at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball, so a Tomball address is the call we can answer closest to home.

Safety comes before anything else. If you see flames or heavy smoke, get everyone out and call 911. For a burning smell, sparks, or a hot outlet or panel, turn off the breaker for that circuit if you can reach it safely, stay out of any standing water, and keep people away from the spot. Then call us. We will talk through what you are seeing and decide how fast we need to be there. Call even if the problem seems to have stopped on its own. A flickering light, a breaker that keeps tripping or a buzzing panel can mean a loose connection that is heating up, and those tend to get worse, not better.

What happens when you call

When you call, we ask for your address, what you saw, heard or smelled, and whether anyone is in danger. We ask whether the problem is one room or the whole house and what is already switched off. Then we tell you when an electrician can arrive. On site we make the house safe first, find the cause, and explain the permanent repair before we start it. If you can, tell us whether the lights flickered, what was running when it happened, and whether a storm or surge came through. Those details help us bring the right parts on the first trip.

Why Tomball is our shortest trip

Our trucks leave from Alice Road, and a call inside Tomball, whether it is a bungalow near downtown or a house in a newer subdivision, is the shortest dispatch we make. Rural addresses need a little more help. Give us the road name, the gate code if there is one, and a landmark, and tell us if the drive washes out in heavy rain. Older houses near downtown can have original wiring and small panels, which is where overloaded circuits tend to show up in summer when the air conditioning runs all day.

Storm damage on the house side

Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 and Hurricane Beryl in July 2024 showed the same pattern in this area: limbs tearing off the service mast and meter base, water in outlets and panels, surge-damaged equipment, and breakers that trip when power returns. Downed lines belong to the utility, so stay well clear and report them to the utility and 911. Our work starts on your side of the meter.

Permits still apply after an emergency

A storm repair that replaces a panel, meter base or service wiring usually needs a permit and an inspection before the utility reconnects. Inside Tomball city limits that is the City of Tomball, and outside them it is Harris or Montgomery County. We handle the paperwork and the inspector, so the repair is done once and done to code. We also leave you a written note of what we found and what we changed, which helps with insurance questions after storm damage.
