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.

  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.

  So glad to have finally found a great local electrical company that does superior work for a great price.  Jamie and Greg have done work at my house twice in the last 6 months and both times the work was completed efficiently and professionally.  Love the great prices!

  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.

  Wheat Electric ran a couple of circuits out to a greenhouse I am building.  This required routing in conduit along my foundation, then thru a stucco wall into the craw space, then exiting and routing overhead under an elevated deck, then down a 12' post, then 4' down a retaining wall, then horizontally 20' along the retaining wall, then underground about 15' to a box in the greenhouse.  Despite all of this crazy routing, the job was not only technically correct, but was very neat and professional.  The price for this work was reasonbable.  The crew was top notch.  I would recommend Wheat for all electrical projects.
