⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can't say enough good things about Kirchner Electric. Blake and his team took care of all of our electrical needs and exceeded expectations every step of the way.

They installed a generator for our home and completed a panel upgrade, and the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. Blake was always on time, extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Most importantly, he was honest and straightforward, which is hard to find these days.

The customer service was outstanding from start to finish. You can tell Blake genuinely cares about doing quality work and taking care of his customers. If you're looking for an electrician who is reliable, trustworthy, skilled, and professional, I highly recommend Kirchner Electric. We will absolutely use them again for any future electrical projects.

Blake from Kirchner Electric came right out to troubleshoot my generator. 5 minutes of investigating found a battery with low voltage. 1/2 hour later we were back in business. I highly recommend Kirchner Electric for all your electrical and generators needs.

An Electrical Contractor Who Knows the Memorial Area

Memorial is one of the larger parts of west Houston, running along Memorial Drive and the Katy Freeway between the 610 Loop and Beltway 8. It covers the six Memorial Villages, Memorial City, and the neighborhoods that stretch west toward the Energy Corridor. Many of the homes here were built decades ago on shaded, spacious lots, and a good number have been renovated or rebuilt since. That mix of older wiring, high-end remodels, and busy commercial corners near Memorial City means the electrical work in this part of town is rarely one-size-fits-all.

Serving the Memorial Villages, Memorial City, and Nearby Neighborhoods

We are a family-owned electrical contractor based on Grant Road in Cypress. Dennis Kirchner built the company in the 1980s, and his son Blake took over in 2020. We work throughout the northwest Houston area and out to the Memorial corridor, serving homeowners in the Villages and business owners around Memorial City and the surrounding commercial pockets. Whether you own an established home that needs its electrical system brought up to date or you run a business that cannot afford downtime, you get the same licensed team and the same straightforward approach.

Residential Electrical Services in Memorial

One Team for Memorial Homes

Kirchner Electric handles residential and commercial electrical services across the Memorial area of Houston. Homes and businesses have different demands, so we approach each side of the work with that in mind while keeping the same standard of care.

Memorial homeowners call us for the everyday problems and the larger upgrades alike. Common residential work in the area includes:

  • Electrical panel and service upgrades. Older Memorial homes were often built on 100- or 150-amp service that struggles to keep up with modern appliances, home offices, and EV charging. We evaluate the panel, size the upgrade for how your household actually uses power, and complete the work to current code.

  • Whole-home rewiring and renovation wiring. Aging wiring, cloth or aluminum branch circuits, and additions built over the years are common in established neighborhoods. We rewire safely and add the circuits a remodel calls for.
  • Outlet, switch, and circuit repairs. Flickering lights, a breaker that keeps tripping, or an outlet that has stopped working all point to something worth checking before it becomes a hazard.
  • Interior and exterior lighting installation. Recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and outdoor fixtures are frequent requests in Memorial homes, especially during a remodel.
  • Surge protection. Whole-home surge protection helps guard electronics and appliances against the spikes that come with storms and grid swings.

Commercial Electrical Services

The Memorial corridor includes plenty of commercial space alongside its homes. Offices, retail spaces, and tenant suites cluster around Memorial City, CityCentre, and the western edge toward the Energy Corridor. For business owners and property managers, we handle service calls, circuit and equipment wiring, interior lighting upgrades, and the electrical side of tenant improvement work. Keeping your space running matters, so we work on a schedule that fits how your business operates and get the job done without dragging it out.

Whole-Home Generators for Memorial Homes

Houston storms and grid strain make backup power a practical decision, and standby generators are a popular upgrade in the Memorial area. A whole-home generator connects to your electrical panel and takes over automatically when the utility power drops, so your home keeps running through an outage. We help you size the unit for your home, install it, and connect it correctly to your panel and fuel supply. If you have been through a few Houston outages and are tired of the disruption, a properly sized standby generator is worth a conversation.

Electrical Work for Memorial’s Established and Renovated Homes

Updating the Wiring and Panels in Older Homes

The thing that sets Memorial apart, electrically, is the age and value of the housing. A home that was wired in the 1970s or 1980s was not built for the electrical load a family runs today. If your panel is undersized, if you have added square footage, or if you are planning a kitchen or primary-suite remodel, the electrical system usually needs attention before or during the project.

An electrical panel is the point where every circuit in the house meets the incoming power. When it is undersized or outdated, you see the symptoms as tripped breakers, warm panel covers, or an inability to add the appliances and circuits you want. We assess the existing panel, calculate the load for your home, and upgrade the service so the system has the capacity your household needs. This is one of the most common requests we get from Memorial homeowners, and it is often the first step before a larger renovation.

Remodels in established Memorial homes almost always touch the wiring. Walls come open, layouts change, and older branch circuits get exposed for what they are. We handle rewiring for safety, new circuits for added rooms and appliances, and the electrical rough-in that keeps a renovation moving. If you are working with a builder or designer on a larger project, we coordinate our part of the job around the rest of the timeline.

More Memorial households are adding electric vehicles, and a standard garage outlet is not built for the job. We install Level 2 home charging equipment, check that your panel has the capacity to support it, and add the dedicated circuit the charger needs. This often pairs naturally with a panel upgrade, since an older service can be the limiting factor. Alongside EV charging, we handle the smaller modern upgrades that make an older home easier to live in, including added circuits for home offices, appliance connections, and updated outlets and switches.

Not every call is a large upgrade. A good share of what we do in Memorial is the smaller work that keeps an established home safe and running: tracking down the cause of a tripping breaker, replacing a failing outlet or switch, fixing a circuit that has stopped working, and correcting wiring problems left behind by past projects. In homes that are several decades old, these issues tend to stack up over time, and they are often early warning signs of something worth addressing before it turns into a hazard. Warm outlets, flickering lights, a burning smell near a fixture, or breakers that will not stay set are all reasons to have an electrician take a look. We diagnose the problem, explain what we find in plain terms, and handle the repair so you are not left guessing.
