Young houses in town, many 1970s and 1980s houses in 77356.
Montgomery is about 35 minutes from our Tomball shop, depending on traffic.
Montgomery was incorporated in 1848 and calls itself the Birthplace of the Texas Flag. For all that history, most houses inside city limits are young. Census estimates put their median year built at 2013.
The town sits where SH 105 meets FM 149, about 15 miles west of Conroe near the southwestern edge of Sam Houston National Forest. The 77316 and 77356 ZIP codes reach far past city limits, so a Montgomery address can mean a house in town, a home near Bentwater on Lake Conroe, or a place elsewhere in unincorporated Montgomery County. Wired serves all three from its Tomball shop.
What Montgomery wiring runs into.
Newer homes inside city limits
About 766 of the city's roughly 1,226 housing units were built between 2010 and 2019, and another 79 since 2020. For these houses, Wired adds circuits for Level 2 EV chargers, workshop outlets, recessed lighting and landscape lighting.
Older houses in 77356
The ZIP codes look different from the town. In 77356, the median home was built in 2001, and roughly 4,500 housing units date from the 1970s and 1980s. About two-thirds of occupied homes in that ZIP heat with electricity. For the older houses there, Wired handles panel and service upgrades, whole-home surge protection and troubleshooting.
City permit or county rules
In the city itself, electrical permits come from the Development Services Department at 101 Old Plantersville Rd. The department lists the 2023 NEC as its current electrical code. Many Montgomery addresses are actually in unincorporated Montgomery County, and the county's permitting FAQ does not mention electrical permits or inspections. Wired confirms what applies to your address and handles any permit the work requires.
Storm and flood damage
During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, a gauge just north of Montgomery recorded 19.66 inches of rain. In Montgomery County, 4,100 houses were damaged, and SH 105 was among more than 300 closed roads. Hurricane Beryl in 2024 brought about 5 inches of rain to the Conroe and Montgomery area. If floodwater has reached your panel or outlets, call Wired for an inspection before using those circuits again.

Questions we get from Montgomery.
Do you work in Montgomery and around Lake Conroe?
Yes. Downtown Montgomery is about 35 minutes from our Tomball shop in light traffic, using the SH 249 tollways and FM 149, and Bentwater is closer to 50 minutes. Call (713) 467-1125 to schedule.
Is my house inside Montgomery city limits?
Not necessarily, even with a Montgomery mailing address. Both 77316 and 77356 hold far more people than the city's roughly 2,500 residents, and OpenStreetMap does not place areas such as Bentwater inside the city. Look up your property with the Montgomery Central Appraisal District: if the City of Montgomery appears under Taxing Units, the city has jurisdiction.
How does inspection scheduling work with the City of Montgomery?
Requests for a next-business-day inspection are due to the city by noon the business day before. Wired handles the permits and inspection requests for city jobs.
Is my Montgomery house on Entergy Texas or Mid-South Synergy?
It could be either. The two utilities share a service-area boundary in Montgomery County. That matters for a service upgrade, because the power cut and meter reset are scheduled with the utility that serves the house, so Wired confirms which one serves your address first.
Can my newer Montgomery home handle an EV charger?
It depends on the spare capacity in your panel. Wired checks that during the free estimate, and if there is not enough, a panel or service upgrade can come first.
Should I have my wiring checked after a storm?
Yes, if a limb hit the service drop or the mast on your house, or if water got into the panel. Wired takes emergency calls 24/7 at (713) 467-1125.
Do you take emergency calls in Montgomery?
Yes, any hour, at (713) 467-1125. Call right away for sparks, a burning smell, a hot panel or a main breaker that will not stay on, and call 911 first if there is fire or someone is hurt. Montgomery is about 35 minutes from our Tomball shop, depending on traffic. On the phone we tell you how soon we can be there and what the call costs, and our emergency electrician page explains which problems can wait for morning.
