Electrician in Bunker Hill Village, TX

Bunker Hill Village is a small city of its own in Harris County, incorporated in December 1954 and bordered by Hedwig Village and Piney Point Village, south of Interstate 10. The village zoning map runs from Taylorcrest Road on the north down past Memorial Drive, with Gessner on the west side and streets such as Strey Lane, Knipp Road and Blalock Road inside it. The whole village is in ZIP code 77024, and mail goes to a Houston address. Rules adopted when the town was formed keep businesses out, so the electrical work here is almost all residential.

Wired Electrical & Generators is a family-owned electrician, licensed and insured and rated A+ by the BBB, working out of our shop and showroom at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball since 2005. Our phones at (713) 467-1125 are answered 24/7, and estimates are free.

Copper only, from the meter in

The village's permit handout for electrical work says it allows only copper conductors beyond the electric meter, and no aluminum. That matters on older houses where an earlier owner or contractor ran aluminum feeders to a subpanel or a large appliance. When we open up a panel or a feeder here, we plan the job in copper from the start so it passes the village's review.

Replacing a panel means taking the service underground

The same handout says that if the electrical panel is replaced, the incoming service must be underground from CenterPoint's point of service. A panel swap in Bunker Hill can therefore turn into trenching, conduit and coordination with CenterPoint, not just a new box on the wall. We look at where your service comes in and explain what the underground run involves before you decide.

Surge protection is required on dwelling services

Bunker Hill has adopted the 2020 National Electrical Code, and its handout points to Article 230.67, which calls for surge protection on services that supply dwelling units. If your service is being changed or upgraded, a whole-home surge protective device is part of the job, and we include it in the plan.

Registration, licenses and working hours

Every contractor has to be registered with the village to get a permit, with current state licenses and a certificate of insurance on file. The village also posts set working hours: 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and no work at all on Sunday. We schedule Bunker Hill jobs inside those hours, and Wired handles the permits and inspections each job needs.
