Electricians in Friendswood

Non-exempt electrical work in Texas must be done by someone licensed by TDLR and working through a licensed electrical contractor, which must be or employ a Master Electrician. Look up both on TDLR's License Data Search. The contractor's business name and license number must be on both sides of its vehicles, and it must carry liability insurance of at least $300,000 per occurrence.

Texas adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code as the state code effective September 1, 2026. Cities may add local amendments and inspections, so ask the electrician which code edition the Friendswood permit will be reviewed under.

HomeGuide's February 2026 national figures put electricians at $50 to $130 an hour with a $100 to $200 service call, and a 200-amp panel replacement at $1,400 to $2,800. If a generator job also needs panel work, ask for both in one quote. Cities can't charge licensed electricians a registration fee, but the permit fee still applies.

Whether your service drop is fed by CenterPoint or TNMP depends on the address, so confirm yours with the utility before any job that needs the power cut at the meter. See the Texas electricians guide and the Friendswood local guide, or compare electricians in League City.
