25 Years of Excellent Service

Ed Wheat, President of Wheat Electric & Controls & Master Electrician, is a proud father of five, husband of one, and a licensed master electrician in the state of Texas (License #23081).

After serving in Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm as a Cavalry Scout (19D) in the US Army, upon honorable discharge, Ed studied Electronic Instrumentation Technology at Texas State Technical College. Upon graduation with honors in early 1995, he went to work for International Paper Corp. in a heavy industrial construction and start up environment for three years. Later, he would work for Louisiana Pacific Corp. in a similar capacity advancing from a shift electrician to electrical department supervisor and eventually Maintenance Superintendent over the course of 9 years. Ed began filling the needs of wood products facilities and worked shutdown maintenance on weekends, upgrading existing production equipment in NE Texas, NW Louisiana, and southern Arkansas.

After marrying his Central-South Texas sweetheart, Rachel, Ed fell in love with the culture and beauty of the area. He listened to and followed his heart by leaving the Fortune 500 game, fully committing to his dream of serving South Texas by founding Wheat Electric & Controls, LLC in 2007. The company began by building numerous commercial projects (6 Planet Fitness locations throughout San Antonio and Austin). Wanting to return to his professional roots, Ed sought industrial clientele, and upon achieving his goal, he never looked back while continuing to serve commercial and residential customers. To this day, over 30 facilities rely upon the expertise of Wheat Electric & Controls to stay profitable and in production.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We want to use more veteran-owned companies and were in the market for an electrician. We found Wheat Electronic & Controls. As it turned out, we needed them immediately to add power outlets to our closet. My husband called them, and they were available that afternoon. They arrived, my husband explained what we needed, and they went to work. They were professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and overall super lovely guys. They were in and out in less than an hour, and the price was perfect! We will use Wheat again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg, Jamie, Troy, Raina, and Ally at Wheat Electric are first class.  They listened to my concerns, they explain alternatives, and went above and beyond to help me and my family.  I will use them again and I never been happier with the customer service and the fact that they were honest.  I would and will recommend them to anyone I do not think anyone can do better than they did.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Troy and Grey were great! They tag teamed a lot of the work which made it super efficient and saved us money in the end. They were respectful and enjoyable to have in our home around our kiddos. We will use them again and refer to them. Also the lady on the phone when I scheduled the appointment was very helpful, too! 5 stars all around. For the work: they switched out a breaker that kept tripping after checking all the possible issues, and explained what was happening. They took out a switch that I did not want and gave me an extra outlet there after we talked over what I wanted, and they switched out a buzzing light switch and also explained what was going on with that. As a bonus, something they did today fixed my doorbell which was broken but I forgot to tell them about it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wheat Electric is absolutely fabulous! Lost  power  late one evening.  PEC came out within the hour. We lost a leg. My neighbor told me about Wheat Electric the next morning.  They immediately  came over,  got with PEC and fixed the problem. They had us all fixed up by 3 that afternoon.  They didn't over charge us for anything.  They are very fair,  honest and do a great job.  I highly recommend them and will be using them in the future for all our electrical needs.

We have used Wheat Electric for both installing additional outlets on our back patio and putting in a transfer switch for our backup generator. Both times the service was on time, professional and very customer friendly. Troy and Nick are extremely knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. We highly recommend this company and will certainly use them again for future electrical projects.
