What Houston Homeowners Should Know

Texas requires electricians to be licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation — Houston also requires a local electrical contractor license. After Hurricane Harvey, generator installation and whole-home surge protection have become among the most requested electrical services in Houston. The city's extreme humidity accelerates corrosion in electrical panels, making annual inspections more important here than in drier climates. Homes in Montrose and The Heights frequently have recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels that should be replaced — electricians cite this as one of the most common safety issues they encounter.
