Best Businesses in Columbus, OH

As a first time homebuyer, I'd never called an electrician before. I only knew horror stories from others of $1000+ bills. So, of course, I was anxious. Did my homework reviewing local companies. The name definitely stuck out (as well as other lovely reviews), so I called up Lords of Thunder. Jason is very upfront about his prices, which I definitely appreciated. He came out a few days later and got to work. I bought an older house, where everything was supposedly brought up to code (I'm starting to think that's just a gimmick). He started investigating from the source, and followed everything along to find the issue. He was so detailed, and searched the house from basement to attic looking for the issues. Two hours of work and he found the problems, fixed them, and had a report written out of everything he did. And the price was very VERY reasonable. I could tell he really took pride in his work and did his best to solve our issues. I highly recommend Lords of Thunder for any electrical issues you have. And if you're like me, new to all this stuff, don't worry! It's not as shocking as I thought it'd be ;)

I had a house fire last month. Everyone is safe, but the house is going to need a lot of work. We had an electrician from Efficient come out to restore power to a basement outlet so I could run my irrigation system. On May 26th he said not only did he get the outlet powered, he resorted power to the house for the contractors to use for their power tools while rebuilding the house. I went to the house on 5/27 to plug in my irrigation system and there was no power. I turned on lights throughout the house and still no power. I plugged items in outlets throughout the house and there wasn't power. So I called and complained. The electrician's supervisor told me that he did restore power the the whole house and the outlet for my irrigation system. So now I'm very upset. I went to the burned house with a lamp, blender, and iPhone with charger. I made a video of myself plugging everything into the outlet he said had power and plugged the items into outlets throughout the house to PROVE there was no power!!! I decided to get another electrician. The new guy from a different company restored power to the outlet and showed me that the guy from Efficient DIDNT do what he told his supervisor over and over that he did! Every single wire in the fuse box was dangling and none of the wires were labeled. I do not recommend this company at all! They totally lied to everyone involved.

Have used this company several times for plumbing and roofing. Extremely fast response, exemplary service, very fair pricing and great quality of work. I can't recommend them highly enough. My mom is in her mid 90's and lives alone with no family within hours of her.  Bill Goodknight has gotten someone to her emergency in hours.

We have used May Electric multiple times since we moved into our house.  John the owner goes above and beyond for his customers.  He is easy to get a hold of and his prices are completely fair.  I have also met at least 3 of his employees and they are kind and hard working.  This company actually cares about its customers and it shows in their work.    

The first project May Electric did was dig a trench in our backyard to run electric from our house to our detached garage.  They installed two outlets, one light switch, and a fluorescent outdoor light.  I was so thrilled with how everything was done that day.

I then had May Electric install an outdoor outlet on the back of our house.  I even requested one that had 4 outlet specifically.  I guess they do not typically have those on hand.  So they made sure they had one on hand when they did the job.  I am so happy with my special request and how it looks / functions.  

Inside the house they have fixed an outlet that was not getting electricity to it and a light fixture that was not getting electricity to it.  And yes, we live in an old house.  I have found it necessary to have a good electrician that we can call.  John and May Electric are just that.  They are reliable, fair priced, efficient, and knowledgeable.

In fact just the other day when it was 12* outside, our electricity went out in our house and it was not on AEP's end.  We reached out to John and within hours he sent Eric to check it out.  He didn't want us to go through the night with no electricity.  That is the kind of amazing service and compassion John has for his customers.

We would be lost without John and May Electric.  If you are looking for a trust worthy and reliable electrician please consider giving John a call or a text.

So  happy with Hawa Air! Great people, great product with great value and Great service &  always on time!

Brian and team of Masters Electric did a great job.  We had a number of residential light fixtures needing to be installed and Masters did it well and in good time. They also offered competitive pricing. I recommend Masters Electric.

Had called several other companies without an answer. They called back within 15 minutes and were at my home a few hours later. Very professional and the pricing was definitely fair. They were done within 30 minutes and I couldn't have been more pleased with the whole experience.

I went down to my basement this morning and water was coming out of the ceiling. I called 25th hour and they had someone out in about 40 minutes. The first place I called offered an appointment tomorrow afternoon.  I would have floated away by then. The guy who came out was able to find the issue fairly quickly. He explained it to me thoroughly in case it happens again. He was also very polite and personable.

Nick is courteous and efficient. When we bought our house, there were electric lines running over the drywall in plastic arms running to the light switch. It looked tacky so Crafty Electric buried them in the wall for us. When he got in there, Nick saw that when the ceiling fan was installed it wasn't done to code, so he fixed that for us too. If you have questions, he will explain things in a way that you can understand even if you aren't an electrician. We would definitely hire him again.

Called Exact about converting my hot tub from 110 to 220, less than a week ago and today Mark and Steve came out to do the work, they were both very professional and knowledgeable I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs work done. Prices are competitive with other BIG name companies, but this is a small business and I am all for helping small businesses grow.

I had an appointment scheduled for this morning, and no one showed up. Called multiple times to both of their numbers, left voicemail, texted, and emailed after they didn't show up, and several hours later I still didn't get a response. I chose them because apparently they do great work, but I guess I'll never know.

This was after them taking days to even calculate an estimate and schedule the appointment after visiting my home, and that only happened after getting no response from several texts and getting lucky by getting an electrician to pick up the phone.

If someone actually calls me back about why they missed our appointment and comes out to do the job, then I would be willing to give a better rating, but as of now I can't say anything positive.

UPDATE:
I received a reply on my review on Google from the owner saying that they declined my offer. If that's true, then why did they send me an email with an estimate and a date/time of arrival to do the job? And why didn't they just decline when they showed up to give an estimate, or at least call me later to decline the offer?

If you look at their negative reviews you will see that every time they reply they always refuse to accept responsibility for what they did wrong and blame the customer. Incredibly unprofessional company.

I cannot say enough about this company. Extremely professional, did an amazing job. Highly recommend them for ur electrical needs

The company got back to me quite promptly. As they were a local company I did want to consider them. They came out within a couple of days for what was an elective upgrade in our panel. They seem to be quite knowledgeable and explain things in detail. They wanted to take a couple of days to get the quote together but we never heard another word from them. I can't therefore speak to there value/price as we didn't get that far. As I have a strict rule that I do not pursue people getting quotes to me, that was where it was left

Recently bought a house that needed some electric work. Had Survivor come out check for any safety issues and get the place grounded. They are fast, efficient, and personable.

I took a chance with this company even though there were no reviews for me to compare and I want to say that I am pleased with the work they completed.  I was later informed that today was their first day advertising on yelp, so hey I took a chance and it worked out perfectly. They replaced my 100amp breaker panel with a 200 amp service they were informative, polite, and respectful and $250 cheaper than everyone else!!! Great job guys and you definitely made not only a customer but a friend

After seeing negative reviews I was skeptical but the services were being paid by a home warranty company so I really had no choice.  However, the experience was great! Tech showed up promptly at 7AM, fixed all the little issues quickly and confidently, always wore the little booties (even though I said he didn't need to as my dogs track in much more) and then did an add on job I paid for installing a new light fixture exactly as I wanted it for $87.  I couldn't be happier.

I would recommend anyone considering using this company to stear clear. I hired them to fix a partial power problem.  After about two hours worth of work and almost $200 later, my home was left in worse condition than when they came out. The lights that did work no longer do, and I was told the problem was on the utility company's side. This ended up not being the case, and a different technician was able to find the problem almost immediately. They told me that any qualified electrician should have found that problem easily. When I called Quality Electric, they were unwilling to help and implied that I was a liar. It was a simple fix, under 30 minutes worth of work, but they were unwilling to do it. I gave them a chance to make things right, but they made it clear they did not care about my satisfaction. I would look elsewhere for an electrician, unless you want to pay for work that won't get done. They put Quality in the name, but that is most definitely not the kind of work they do. Homeowners Beware!!
