No, elections to the United States House of Representatives occur every two years, in even-numbered years (2008, 2010, etc).
An exception occurs in cases when a Congressman dies, resigns, or is expelled from the House by a 2/3 majority vote (usually in the case of criminal conviction). A special election is immediately called for the residents of the Representative's district. The winner of the special election serves the remainder of the exited Congressman's term and must run again in the next even-numbered year if they would like to keep the job.
Terms in the United States Senate are staggered to hold the Senate accountable to the voters for it's actions at all times. If the entire Senate was up for reelection every six years, then the Senate could take unpopular actions early in their term that they would not otherwise take, in fear of retribution from their constituents.
