Electricians in Pasadena

Search the electrician and the contracting company on TDLR's License Data Search. A Texas electrical contractor must be, or employ, a licensed Master Electrician, and must show its business name and TDLR license number on both sides of every vehicle in letters at least two inches high. Contractors also carry liability insurance of at least $300,000 per occurrence.

Texas adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code effective September 1, 2026, replacing the 2023 edition, with a limited GFCI exception for certain outdoor outlets. Cities may adopt local amendments, so ask whether Pasadena has any that affect your job.

Call the Permit Department (713-475-5575) or use EnerGov to find out whether your job needs a permit, and ask the electrician for the number. An owner doing work on the home they live in is outside the state licensing law, unless a city ordinance specifically regulates that work, so check the city's permit rules first.

HomeGuide's national figures put electricians at $50 to $130 an hour, with a $100 to $200 service call and $1,400 to $2,800 to replace a panel with a 200-amp one. More is in the Texas electricians guide; for AC circuits see AC repair in Pasadena, or return to the Pasadena guide.
