Electrician in Porter, TX
Licensed, insured electrical work for Porter homes, from 1960s houses along FM 1314 to new builds near Northpark Drive.
Electrical service for Porter homes, from Tomball.
Porter is about 50 minutes from our Tomball shop, depending on traffic.
Porter is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, and its houses do not share one era. Along FM 1314 you will find homes that date to the 1960s and 1980s sitting near houses finished in the last few years, and the master-planned streets off Northpark Drive, such as Woodridge Forest, keep adding more. Each age group asks something different of its wiring.
Wired Electrical & Generators is a family-owned electrician based at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball, in business since 2005. We are licensed and insured, we hold a BBB A+ rating, and we drive to Porter from the shop in about 50 minutes. We pull the permits and schedule the inspections ourselves, so you are not left chasing paperwork.
What Porter wiring has to handle.
Two utilities in one town
Porter sits where electric service territories meet. CenterPoint Energy delivers power to much of the community, Entergy Texas serves other streets, and news coverage after Hurricane Beryl described Woodridge Forest as split between the two. The utility owns the line out to your meter, and we work on the house side of it. Your bill or the name on your meter tells you which company serves your address.
Older houses along FM 1314
Homes from the 1960s and 1980s often still have their original panel, a few rooms with too few outlets, and circuits that were never meant to carry a modern kitchen plus central air. We test the system first and recommend a panel replacement only when the evidence calls for one. Sometimes the honest answer is a new circuit and a handful of worn receptacles.
Newer streets near Northpark Drive
Recently built Porter homes usually have sound wiring and a short wish list: a charger in the garage, more outlets on the patio, under-cabinet and landscape lighting, a fan in the bonus room. Most of that goes smoothly when the builder left space in the panel. If your community has an architectural review committee, tell us early and we will supply the details it asks for.

Questions we get from Porter.
Which utility serves my house in Porter?
It depends on the street. Porter is divided between CenterPoint Energy and Entergy Texas, and in at least one subdivision both serve homes. Check the name on your electric bill. Wired works on your side of the meter whichever company it is.
Do you handle permits in Porter?
Yes. Porter is not inside a city, so what is required depends on the address. Montgomery County runs development and floodplain permitting out of its office in Conroe, and we confirm what applies to your job. Where a permit is needed, Wired pulls it and schedules the inspection.
Can you add power for a well pump or barn?
Yes. We look at the distance from the panel, the load, how the wire will be run and how it is protected from weather, then lay out the circuit before any work starts. Longer runs on acreage often need larger wire than people expect.
How do I get started?
Call (713) 467-1125 and describe what is happening. We schedule a visit, look at the panel and the circuits involved, and give you a written proposal before any work begins.
