Company Overview

I notice you are browsing Yelp for a service provider. I appreciate your interest in our profile. Choosing a trustworthy company on Yelp can be challenging for consumers. Yelp has a track record of hiding reviews. If you don’t pay, you’ll mostly see bad reviews. That’s why we have a 2.5-star rating on Yelp, while our Google rating is 4.8 stars with 1500 reviews, and we hold an A rating with 750 reviews on Angie's List. Our decision to not pay Yelp means that only the negative reviews are highlighted. I recommend using Best Pick Reports or 5 Star Reports to locate a reputable service provider. Is your home facing delays due to plumbing, HVAC, or electrical problems? Reach out to Universal Home Experts now for quick, same-day assistance from our trusted team. Since 1992, we’ve been dedicated to assisting many residents throughout the Houston metro area. Our company is known for providing trained, background-checked, and drug-screened technicians who offer upfront pricing before starting any work. Initially, Universal focused on remodeling older homes in the Heights, Garden Oaks, Montrose, and Museum District. In 2004, we redirected our efforts to serve homeowners with expert repairs. In 1986, Ed pursued a career as an electrician, following his grandfather's legacy. Throughout the years, he worked in many sectors, yet his true passion was always residential remodeling. When he launched the business in 1992, he pursued his passion for remodeling older homes in Houston's inner city. His experience has equipped him to train electricians who grasp the best techniques for performing repairs in your home.

Way too expensive, I would recommend checking around to get at least 3 other bids, however, great customer service.

In spite of (false) advertising and probably fake reviews, one can not get a simply, approximate price quote for a most simple job, such as a toilet installation!!!
You have to pay $59 for a guy to show up to give you a quote. If you don't like the price quoted you are out of your money and nthing will be done.
This is NOT a professional company. Stay AWAY !!!!!

Excellent company. Had some wiring replaced in my home and a new breaker box put in. Called for service and got an estimate. They came out the same day, did the work and got everything up to code. When I asked that the outside wiring be concealed they sent a tech back to change the wiring. This business puts customer service FIRST. Many companies today just want to collect a fee and be done. This company really goes the extra mile. The personnel does a great job communicating with the customer. They will call you back! The technicians are professional and very polite. Will be using them again.

I have to say I was very disappointed. I contacted this company because of their good reviews only to be told that they would not install a new water heater at my rental property even though I own the town house and I personally assured them they would be directly communicating/dealing with me the owner. The reason I was given is because they have had bad experiences with payment from tenants. Tenants are not responsible for repairs on rental properties the owner is responsible. I don't understand their reasoning; payment is always received at the time services is completed. I don't know what transpired between past rental property owners but I do know this about myself I am a very responsible person and it's insulting that I am being punished for something I did not have a hand in. So if you own rental property and need Universal Home Experts, I am passing along what was conveyed to me they don't do business with rental property owners. I'm disappointed but wish them well.

I had Universal Home Experts replace my exterior home and landscape lighting this past summer in Richmond, TX. To start with, when I first called them, they came the very next day to give me a quote and return the following day to do the work. The gentlemen that Universal sent out were very professional and polite. They went out of their way to accommodate my needs and very large yard. The job was completed in one day. There have been a few kinks since installation and I've had to have them back out twice. Each time I've called they were still very polite and happily returned to fix the issue the very next day after calling each time. I was impressed by this as they had already been paid and in my experience, companies are only prompt when there is a sale involved. Universal has far exceeded my expectations each time. I have recommended them to a couple of friends thus far. This is truly a company that stands behind their work!

A good electrician should be able to look at the detailed pictures and summary from a home inspection and tell me whether a project is urgent, or should just be watched. Universal wiring refused to even look at the paper inspection which has already been done, and insisted they must go out to the property to look at the property first. ($60) Unaccommodating, and with so many more helpful electricians in the area I can't see why anyone would choose this very expensive, unaccommodating, unhelpful company.

A/C problem: Louis came out Saturday morning and in 30 minutes had it up and running. Very nice, explained each problem area, had a few suggestions for the future, checked out the attic on both units.
They have been here before with similar efficiency on wiring needs.
Have my 100% vote!

Would like to have given a better review - because after Hurricane Ike Universal Wiring assisted with getting my power back on after a tree knocked out the line from my home to the pole - and Centerpoint couldn't get to it for another week. Back then, the price was good and they were a great help.

Fast forward to 2013. Asked them to come out for a bid on a new panel box. They charged $60 just to come look, then bid it over $6k. I sent them on their way, and the same exact work is being done by another reputable electrician for $1,500. They got their $60 out of me, so they probably don't care about a negative review. But be warned. And always get multiple bids!

We had a circuit breaker installed several years ago in sweltering heat. The Universal Wiring electrician came out on a weekend & worked until the breaker box was installed. No other electric service company could come until Monday.
I would also recommend Universal Wiring for ceiling fan installation. Great work.
