A quote service, not an electrician
Lubbock Electrician Pros is a free quote-request service. You describe the job once, and independent, licensed Lubbock-area electrical contractors can reply with quotes. The contractor you choose quotes, pulls any permit and does the work directly with you.
The name sounds like a company, so to be clear: this site does not employ electricians, does not perform electrical work and holds no TDLR license. Texas requires electrical contractors to be licensed; verify it before you hire.
Seven steps from problem to finished job
The first two steps happen here. The rest happen between you and the contractor you choose.
Describe the problem
Fill in the short quote form or call the 806 number. Say what is happening, such as a breaker that keeps tripping or a dead outlet, roughly how old the house is, your ZIP code, and whether you own or rent. It is free.
Hear from independent contractors
Your request goes to independent, licensed electrical contractors who serve your part of Lubbock or the South Plains, and they reply on their own schedules. If you call, your call is connected to an independent contractor through a call-routing provider. Nobody who answers works for this site.
Ask for the TECL number and a written quote
Ask the business name and its TECL electrical contractor number, then look it up at tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch. Ask for a written, itemized quote, any trip or diagnostic fee, the after-hours rate and a certificate of insurance.
Compare quotes
Line up quotes for the same scope. Check that each one lists parts, labor and the permit, and agree on a payment schedule rather than paying in full upfront. You are never obligated to hire anyone.
The contractor pulls the permit where required
For most new wiring, panel and service work inside the City of Lubbock, the contractor you hire pulls the permit; the city lists a $50 minimum electrical permit. Nearby towns have their own permit offices.
Inspection
The city or town inspector checks the work. For a service or meter base change, the work must pass inspection before the utility reconnects power. Ask the contractor to tell you when it passes.
Keep records
Keep the written quote, invoice, permit number and inspection result. They help with insurance questions, warranty claims and a future home sale.
What this site is and isn't
- It is a free way to ask independent electrical contractors serving Lubbock, Texas for quotes.
- It is not an electrician or electrical contractor, and it does not quote, schedule or perform work.
- It does not guarantee a reply, a response time, a price or the quality of anyone's work.
- It does not check or vouch for licenses or insurance. Texas requires both; verify them yourself on TDLR and with a certificate of insurance.
- The 806 number connects you to an independent contractor through a call-routing provider. Ask the business name and TECL number on the call.
- Independent contractors may pay to receive quote requests or calls. That never costs you anything.
Before you send a request
If it is a safety problem
If you see smoke or flames, leave the house and call 911. If a power line is down, stay away from it and contact your utility. In Lubbock, LP&L handles outages and its advanced meters report them; check the LP&L outage map. In nearby towns, the utility is on your bill, often Xcel Energy or South Plains Electric Cooperative.
What helps a contractor quote faster
- What is happening, and when it started (after a storm, when the AC kicks on, at random)
- Roughly when the house was built, and whether it has a fuse box or breaker panel
- The panel brand and main breaker size, if you can read them safely
- Whether you own the home or rent it; renters should ask the landlord in writing first
Renters and landlords
Tenants should report electrical problems to the landlord in writing. Texas Property Code §92.052 generally requires a landlord to make a diligent effort to repair conditions that materially affect health or safety, and an electrical hazard may be one; this is not legal advice. Landlords hire licensed contractors, since the owner-resident exemption does not cover rentals. See rental electrical inspections.
