Best Electricians in Columbus, OH

They were excellent! They installed canned lighting and a ceiling fan in our family room. The cost was right around what I was expecting. They were friendly and got the job done quickly and left my house clean. I will absolutely use them again!

Prompt, reliable, helpful and polite values not often seen these days but Ben has them all and his attention to detail is spot on. Very pleased with the job and have already booked Ben for a future job.

These guys saved me a ton of money a after a competitor tried to tell me I needed a whole new circuit board to pass inspection.  They were quick to quote, got me scheduled in the time frame I needed, and did great work.  What more could you want?

I had several misc electrical projects I needed done around my condo. I received quotes from two different companies. The quote from Big City was less than half of the other quote I received. The owner Dave was friendly and explained exactly what they would do and how. The two electricians that completed the work, Dave G. And Christian were friendly and completed everything quickly and cleanly. They communicated the different issues they ran into and worked with me to come up with other options they would work just as well. Very good experience and I would definitely use them again.

Here's my situation:
My water heater kept going out. Couldn't figure it out. Water heater guy comes out, they replaced all the electronic components in it. Still happening. Can't figure it out - until the guy says it may be at the electrical box, which we don't do.

So I call Strickland - and I'm in no rush - it's a manual process to get the water heater on but tolerable - his response was it's getting cold, I'm not about to let you have cold water.

We set a time, he arrived, he went to work and diagnosed the problem, had it solved, and i've been happy. The change required a little more rework (yay moderately old house) and he came back and knocked that out.

Insanely friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I mean, ideally, I'll never need to call them again ( - unless I replace that breaker box) but if I have any more electrical issues? They're top of my list.

I called and got immediate service to a live wire in my home. Damon was friendly and efficient. His  fee was more than reasonable and I will definitely be calling him again.

Called and a licensed electrician was sent out the next day.  He was prompt, professional, quick, cleaned up after himself and had excellent communication skills.  I would recommend this company to neighbors and friends.

During summer 2021 I began planning for the installation of a mini-split unit for an all season room without any air conditioning or heating. I selected Custom Air, Columbus, Ohio, to install a Mitsubishi mini-split unit, but I had to find an electrician to provide 220 volt service to the exterior wall of the room. I contacted seven electrical companies for estimates, a couple did not show up at the arranged time. I ultimately received five estimates, Safe Electric was one of the more expensive (not the most expensive), but Ed spent more time than any other electrician carefully looking over the project and then provided the most detailed estimate that was all inclusive. Some companies had provided very general estimates that included language saying things like, ...additional required materials and time to be paid for by the property owner. Ed installed the wiring in 90 feet of metal (not plastic) pipe that he bent (with a pipe bending tool) to perfectly fit snugly under the eave of the roof. The sections of pipe were connected with waterproof fittings. The entire installation was very professional and is does not detract from the home's exterior appearance. The County's Building Inspector was very impressed with the entire installation. Please see the attached four photos. Three photos show how snugly Ed tucked away the metal pipe containing the 240 volt electrical wiring. I drew in a red line showing the path and pipe because it can be difficult to see. The forth photo is of one of the water tight fittings where the sections of pipe are connected.

Great guys. Had my plumbing issue fixed in no time and at a great price. I'll definitely use them in the future.

After getting the run around by other companies, Higher Power Electric was prompt, friendly, very competent, reliable, everything you would hope for. With Electrical work in my home, it is very important that I can be assured it was done correctly.
5+ stars.

I contacted Jim to install two ceiling fans. He was able to install them on a Saturday morning and was done within 4 hours. Jim was very professional and efficient. I will definitely hire him again for any electrical issue. I would give 10 stars if that was an option. Highly recommended!!

New to the area, I read the review already online for Excel and called.  My call was returned promptly, he called to let us know he would run a bit late so we felt assured, and a really no-fuss, no drama, tidy job at a fair price all made this service a gem.  I have added Excel to my contacts list and will share with confidence.  A star!

Immediately came out and fixed our issue. Very professional, helpful, and nice guy! Would highly recommend him.

Quite possibly the nicest people I have ever met.  Our heat went out on Wednesday and we made the mistake of calling another repairman first.  After waiting a few days for a response we finally called Riley Electrical Services.  We only wish we would have called them first. They were at our house within an hour of our call and set to work fixing the mistakes that the other repairman made.  We ended up needing a new furnace and they helped us make a decision that we felt comfortable with, that also didn't break our bank. While we were waiting for our replacement furnace we were called twice in the morning just so he could check up on how we were holding up with no heat.  He came today and installed our furnace and we couldn't be happier. If you need any work done, don't call anyone else (trust us!) call Riley Electrical Services, you won't be disappointed!

I've been using R&T for the past 4 years with my very old home and they have always been great. I've had a few different techs come out and they have always been polite and informative while I ask a million questions.

I rarely leave reviews for companies but I thought Mr. Electric deserved to be thanked.

We had our water heater go out a few weeks back and decided to replace it. The water heater company said we needed new wiring to accommodate the new heater and they used Mr. Electric as a sister company.

The service technician was great! He was very knowledgeable and helpful with walking through the service and pricing. They performed the service quickly and were fair with the pricing.

NOW THE IMPORTANT PART. The technician accidentally left two of our circuit breakers off after performing the service. We didn't notice because it was two outlets in our basement that we don't use often.

A few days later we went down to our chest freezer to get some meat out to be thawed only to find it was OFF! After some investigating, we came to realize it was because the two breakers left off were to the freezer and fridge in our basement. The chest freezer held 1/2 of a hog that we had just bought!!!!!!!!!

After a quick call to Mr. Electric, the woman on the phone assured us that she would get in touch with the manager for our area and he would make it right. He called us promptly the next day and after hearing our story REFUNDED US THE ENTIRE COST OF THE JOB!

That level of customer service, timeliness, and doing the right thing regardless of $$ involved shocked me! There are far too many companies these days that would have simply given a customer the run around OR worse claimed the issue to be not their problem

Mr. Electric deserves the HIGHEST praise for the way they handled the situation and they have gotten a customer for life out of it.

Thanks!!!!

At your service gave me a great deal on a new furnace and AC unit. After I've had multiple repairs on both systems by a different company.
I also had Mr. Jones (the owner) install a new hot water tank in my house. Excellent service, timely manner, quality work!
Highly recommended.

Use caution and get a second opinion when dealing with this business!

I contacted Mr. Handyman of East Columbus, New Albany and Gahanna get an estimate to have a 10 square foot bathroom shower floor retiled. I was asked to send in a picture of the floor, which I did. Much to my shock, the estimate came back as a three-day job for $6,000 - $7,000!!!! I was told that they'd have to tear up the shower step-in, the tub underneath the tile and the subfloor. I said that I only wanted to have the tile redone and their response was that it was the same price as they were planning on having to rip out the subfloor (and all this from a picture!). I asked if they charged $1,500/hour and was told that they don't charge by the hour, they charge by the job.

I just had a professional tiler look at the shower floor, and he estimated the job at $250. Quite a difference! Just to be sure I was comparing apples to apples, I asked him about the tub underneath the tile as well as the subfloor. He said that there was no need to touch any of that and went on to say that there's a special glue that can be used to overlay the new tile on top of the old tile. The gentleman I am now dealing with has been a tile installer for 30+ years and comes highly recommended by several people I know. Care to guess who I'll be going with?

My entire exchange with Mr. Handyman of East Columbus, New Albany and Gahanna was done via texting, so I have a written copy of it all. I'm not sure what would possess someone to quote a job that is 2,400% - 2,800% higher than normal, but it only takes a couple of uninformed customers to make these ludicrous prices pay off.
