Why Action Electric
Built on 30 Years of Trust
Our Story
Good-Hearted People Who Love What They Do
In 1994, Tom Cao started Action Electric with a truck, a toolbox, and a commitment to doing honest work at a fair price. Thirty years later, that hasn't changed. Tom still answers the phone, still shows up to jobs, and still treats every customer's home like his own.
What started as one electrician serving a few Houston neighborhoods has grown into a trusted name across the metro area — from Bellaire to Pasadena, Meyerland to West University Place. But Action Electric has stayed what it was from the beginning: a family business built on trust.
Tom and his wife run every aspect of the operation together. There's no corporate office, no franchise playbook, no shareholders to please. Just two people who believe that electrical work should be done right, priced fairly, and backed by someone who looks you in the eye and means it.
- Owner-operated since day one — Tom Cao personally oversees every project
- 4.9-star rating built on 102 reviews — earned through decades of honest work
- First-time homeowner friendly — we take the time to explain the process and share tips
- Community-rooted — serving the same Houston neighborhoods for over 30 years
Future-Ready
Your Home. Your Charger. Installed Right.
Skip the gas station lines. As a Tesla-certified installer, we set up Level 2 home chargers so you wake up every morning with a full battery. We assess your panel capacity, run a dedicated 240V circuit, mount the Wall Connector, and test everything before we leave. Most installations are completed in a single visit.
- Tesla Wall Connector certified
- Panel capacity assessment included
- Dedicated 240V circuit installation
- Single-visit installation for most homes
What Our Customers Say
Don't Take Our Word for It
We called during an outage on a Saturday night and Tom was at our door in less than thirty minutes. He found the problem, fixed it fast, and charged us a completely fair price. You can't ask for more than that.
Emergency ServiceAs first-time homeowners, we had no idea what to look for with our electrical system. Action Electric didn't just fix the issues — they walked us through everything and gave us tips to keep our home safe. Truly good-hearted people.
Residential ElectricalI've hired a lot of contractors over 30 years of homeownership. Action Electric is among the best I've ever worked with. They're honest, they're fast, and they don't overcharge. I won't call anyone else.
Panel UpgradeWe needed a Tesla charger installed in our garage. Tom came out, assessed our panel, and had the whole thing done in one afternoon. Professional, clean work, and he explained every step of the process.
EV Charger InstallationTruth, honesty, trust, at a fair price. That's what our neighbors told us about Action Electric, and that's exactly what we got. They've handled three different jobs for us now, and every single time they deliver.
Repeat CustomerOur breaker panel was outdated and we were worried about safety. Action Electric upgraded the whole thing in a day. Fair price, neat work, and Tom even followed up a week later to make sure everything was running right. That's the kind of service you don't find anymore.
