Emergency Electrician in Cypress, TX

When an outlet is sparking, a panel is hot to the touch or half the house has gone dark, you want a person on the phone and a plain answer about what to do next. Wired Electrical & Generators is a family-owned, licensed and insured electrician, and our phones at (713) 467-1125 are open 24/7. If you are in Cypress and think you need an emergency electrician, call us any hour of the day or night.

Our shop is at 13910 Alice Road in Tomball, and Cypress sits on the same side of Harris County, so our trucks come down U.S. 290 or across on FM 2920 and the Grand Parkway. We give you our best estimate of arrival on the call and tell you honestly if traffic or weather will change it. We do not promise a time we cannot keep. If you smell smoke or see flames, get everyone outside and call 911 before you call us.

Big subdivisions, big loads

Cypress is made up of large master-planned communities such as Towne Lake and Bridgeland, along with many smaller subdivisions built in different decades. Newer two-story homes often carry two or three air conditioners, and on a hot August afternoon that is where trouble starts: a main breaker that trips again and again, a lug that has loosened and is heating up, or an air-conditioner circuit that smells like hot plastic. If a breaker will not stay on, do not keep resetting it. Leave it off, tell us which part of the house is dead, and we will talk through whether it can wait until morning.

Is it your house or the street?

Electric delivery in most of the Houston area, including Cypress, is handled by CenterPoint Energy, and the lines, the transformer and the meter are theirs. If your neighbors are dark too, check the utility outage map first, because an electrician cannot restore a grid outage. If only your house is out, or the lights dim and flicker with no storm in sight, the fault is more likely in your own panel, your meter base or the service wires on your side. That is the part we repair. Many Cypress homes also have underground service, so a dead panel with no visible damage is worth a call.

Storm damage, water and creek-side lots

Heavy rain is the usual cause of emergency calls here. Water gets into outdoor outlets, pool equipment, landscape circuits and meter bases, and a storm can leave surge damage in air conditioners, garage door openers and electronics. Lots near Cypress Creek and the area's drainage channels stay wet longer after a storm. If water has reached an outlet, a panel or the floor around either, stay out of it and do not touch the panel. Call us and, if it is safe, switch off the main only if you can reach it while standing on a dry surface.

Permits after an emergency repair

A repair that replaces a panel, meter base or service wiring needs a permit and an inspection before the utility reconnects it. Much of Cypress is unincorporated Harris County, and some addresses fall under a city instead, so we check which office covers your address before we pull anything. We handle the paperwork and schedule the inspection.
