Licensed, insured electrical work for Friendswood homes, from creek-side repairs to panel upgrades after additions.
Electrical service for Friendswood homes, from Tomball.
Friendswood is about 70 minutes from our Tomball shop, depending on traffic.
Friendswood started in 1895 as a Quaker colony and stayed a small farming community until suburban growth arrived in the 1960s, after NASA's Manned Spacecraft Center opened nearby. The city has grown in waves ever since, so one drive can pass houses with very different wiring. Imperial Estates, Sunmeadow and Forest Bend are among the subdivisions Friendswood residents call home, and the city spans both Galveston County and Harris County.
Wired Electrical & Generators is a family-owned electrician based at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball, working since 2005. We are licensed, insured and BBB A+. Friendswood is roughly 70 minutes from our shop by our estimate, and we plan visits so the trip is worth it: one look at the whole system, one written proposal. Call (713) 467-1125.
What Friendswood wiring has to handle.
Three creeks and a lot of repairs
When Hurricane Harvey arrived in 2017, Clear Creek, Mary's Creek and Cowart Creek all overflowed, and thousands of Friendswood homes took on water. Many have been repaired or rebuilt since. If your home flooded, or you bought one that did, it is reasonable to have a licensed electrician look at the panel, the low outlets and any wiring that stayed wet. We will tell you what is fine, what should be replaced and what could be moved higher.
Two utilities serve this area
Most of Friendswood is on CenterPoint Energy, but some homes are served by Texas-New Mexico Power. That matters when a job touches the meter or the service, because the utility you coordinate with depends on your address. We confirm who serves your house before we schedule service work, so there are no surprises on the day.
Friendswood permits are handled online
The City of Friendswood runs its permitting online through Community Development at 910 S. Friendswood Drive, and the city lists electrical inspections among the checks it performs. Plans for larger residential work are expected to show the electrical layout and a load analysis. Wired pulls the permit, schedules the inspection and keeps the paperwork straight so you do not have to.

Questions we get from Friendswood.
My house flooded during Harvey. Should the electrical be rechecked?
It is worth doing, especially if outlets, wiring or the panel were underwater. We inspect what is accessible, test the circuits and tell you anything we recommend replacing.
Do you serve both the Galveston County and Harris County parts of Friendswood?
Yes. We work throughout Friendswood. Inside Friendswood city limits, the city issues permits on both sides of the county line. If your address is outside city limits, we confirm what applies before we schedule the work.
Which utility do I call for an outage?
It depends on your address. Most Friendswood homes are served by CenterPoint Energy, and some by Texas-New Mexico Power. Your bill shows which one. For work on your own wiring and panel, call us at (713) 467-1125.
I am adding a room. Will I need a bigger panel?
Possibly. We add up the load of the new space on top of what the house already runs. If the panel has room, we add circuits. If it does not, we explain the options.
