Best Electricians in Columbus, OH

I had 2nd floor exterior motion floods installed.
They were on time, efficient and professional. I would recommend them without a doubt!

Excellent work.  Showed up on time and completed the project quickly and efficiently while  observing covid precautions.

Our outdoor lighting was installed by the same people who designed and installed our beautiful patio... but not by electricians. It's given us problems 3 times in the last year; there have been shorts, the lights go out, never come on, or half the line works and the other half doesn't, etc. Twice, Jess Howard Electric came out and solved unique issues. Last week, they arrived and solved a 3rd issue and engaged the entire line of lighting and electric items around the pool to ensure that no other issues were on the horizon. These folks are always prompt, reliable, and communicative.

They left over 30 holes in our plaster walls and gave us the number of a friend we could call and pay over $1,000 more to fill. We had to fight them to do over five things that were clearly written in our contract.

Nathan does a great job and explains what is needed so you fully understand what is going on. His prices are fair and I would definitely hire him again.

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.

Excellent service from the minute I called to schedule appointment through job completion. I needed minor work done (replace pull-chain fixture and repair three-way switch) and was able to get an appointment within a few days. The scheduling representative provided a fair and honest price estimate. Technicians were extremely professional, clean, and quick. Highly recommend!

Great experience! Zach and Jack were wonderful: knowledgeable, professional, friendly, courteous. Would gladly recommend this company to my friends and neighbors.

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

I can't recommend Higher Power Electric enough! I had a fan light repaired, a new kitchen light installed, a new dining room light installed and a few other flush mount lights installed. They also removed a old satellite dish for me. They were quick, but thorough! The quoting and scheduling process went very smoothly. I received a reminder call the day before, as well as a call on the day of my appointment letting me know they were on their way. Everyone I dealt with were very nice and professional!

We have used James for a couple of projects.  Once for a bath remodel and we had him back recently to do some misc electrical repairs and rewiring around the house.  He provides great service!  Shows up when scheduled and his work is excellent.  Will have him back in the near future for a couple more projects.

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.

Gerry is very knowledgeable, honest, and does not waist time so he can charge you more. We called him with a restaurant hood problem he came and got it fixed for a very reasonable price. He checked another fridge that was not working and got it fixed within 20 minutes for $80 and its now been a month and fridge still works. Another company had said compressor was out and they needed $1500. Every time we call Gerry he has a solution at a reasonable price will use him again an again.

Estimator seemed unsure how their tool to estimate worked and never did his follow up commitments without a customer follow up contact.

Our initial encounter with Mr. Electric was when we lost power after some self-installations of new outlets - it ended up being a tripped breaker and we were unaware that we had a main breaker on the outside of our condo building.  Long story short, they came and charged $158 to literally switch our breaker (they gave us a $50 coupon and we figured if we were doing our own outlet exchanges and that was the least that happened, we would take it and vow to never do electrical work again).  

Our second encounter occurred when we lost power in the middle night to half our home and switching the breaker didn't work.  We were excited they were open 24 hours a day (per their website which we later found out is not true), so we set up an appointment.  They replaced our breaker which they informed us was corroded.  Four months later, we're having the same problem.  I call to set up an appointment and they informed us that our work was not under warranty because our busbar had corrosion and that was stated on our invoice.  We were NEVER informed of any exclusion of the warranty on their services.  I asked for a technician to come out and evaluate the breaker and ensure it was not an issue with something that was just fixed four months ago.  The technician came out but refused to look at anything without charging the $158 diagnostic fee.  I asked for a manager to come out which the technician said would occur the next day at 10 am.  After three calls and a technician arriving at 1:30pm, I was informed the manager was in a meeting in Cleveland (we're in Columbus) after being told a manager would come to remedy the situation since we did not agree with paying the diagnostic fee for a service that was just rendered four months ago.  

Luckily, the technician, Ivan was great; he communicated with his manager and they agreed to replace our breaker even though there was a problem with our condo's main panel.  I appreciated the fact that even though another issue could have caused the breaker's problem, they replaced it.  

The issue with this company isn't the services, it's with the professionalism and integrity.  We were charged $110 after coupon for an electrician to switch our breaker.  We were then told a manager would come to an appointment to resolve an issue and not only was the company over three hours late, the manager wasn't even in the same city.  5 stars to Ivan for great service and being flexible and helping us so quickly, but I would not use this company based on their customer relations.

don't waste your time. owner shows up unannounce. got him from home warranty company. slow, slow, and slow. Too busy trying to get more work from you instead of fixing the issues. touching stuff around the house. creepy

3.5 stars rounding up to 4.

Let me start by saying this was contractor #7 I contacted to do this job.  The other 6 stalled somewhere between showing up to give an estimate - all the way to pulling a no show when the quote was accepted and the job was scheduled.  Needless to say, I was pleased when someone finally showed up to do the work.

I was able to schedule the job within several business days of contacting them.  They charge an hourly rate - and I opted to provide materials.  I needed a water damaged spot in the sub-floor in the master bathroom repaired - which then required the flooring to be replaced.  Of course, all the linoleum had to be removed and the toilet taken out.  No small job, despite the small spot damaged.  But the work was mandatory as we are working to sell the house this year.

I dealt with one person and he was quite pleasant.  Communication was good with the company - reminder, notice of who was coming, etc.  The worker went about his business with little bother to me.  He only let me know when he was going to pick up materials and asked my input about the replacement tiles.

The one thing that disappointed me - he didn't go to the most convenient store - so he got stuck in traffic which cost him time and ME MONEY.  I should have been more specific but since I mentioned the name of closest place and he went elsewhere - I thought I had conveyed the information.  WRONG.  Lesson learned.

The delay in traffic kept him from doing another small job I needed done.  But at that point, I wanted to stop paying his hourly fee and called it quits when the job was finished.

He did a nice job of cleaning up and removing his waste materials.  I would use him again for a job that warranted their pricing scale.  I will either do the smaller job myself or find someone who will fix it for a fee.  Recommend if you're done being stood up by all the other contractors but you will pay for the work.  Definitely not a cheap proposition.  And I recommend you buy the materials yourself.
