Electrical work isn’t a place to guess — a panel that’s undersized for a growing home, wiring that predates current code, or a circuit added without enough capacity can be a safety issue as much as an inconvenience. 188 CONSTRUCTION serves Houston, TX and surrounding areas within a 30-mile radius, with all electrical work performed or supervised by an appropriately licensed electrician as Texas law requires. All completed work is backed by a workmanship warranty.

Why Older Houston Homes Often Need an Electrical Review
A lot of homes in and around Houston were wired decades ago, under a very different code and a very different set of household electrical demands — nobody was running a microwave, a couple of window units and a home office off the same panel back then. When we’re doing a kitchen remodel, an addition or any project that opens up the walls, we check whether the existing panel and wiring can actually support what’s being added, rather than just tying new work into old capacity and hoping it holds.
Why Customers Choose 188 CONSTRUCTION
- Licensed and insured electricians for all work Texas law requires to be licensed
- Workmanship warranty on every completed job
- Transparent written pricing, no hidden costs
- Electrical planned as part of the larger project scope when tied to a remodel, not bolted on as an afterthought
- Coordination with permitting and inspection for work that requires it
- Both residential and commercial work — from a single outlet repair to a full panel upgrade

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade? Frequent breaker trips, a panel that’s already full, or plans to add major appliances, an addition, or an EV charger are common signs it’s worth having evaluated. We can assess your existing panel’s capacity as part of a consultation.
Is electrical work always permitted? Most new circuits, panel upgrades and significant rewiring require a permit and inspection. Simple like-for-like repairs (replacing a broken outlet, for example) generally don’t. We’ll confirm what applies to your specific job.
Can an electrical issue affect my business? Yes, especially for businesses that depend on continuous power for equipment or operations. We prioritize commercial service calls and can coordinate temporary power while a larger repair is scheduled if needed.
Do you handle electrical as part of a remodel, or only as a standalone service? Both. We coordinate electrical work as part of kitchen, bathroom, whole-home and commercial remodels, and we also take standalone electrical service calls that aren’t tied to a larger project.
