Best Businesses in Ohio

Hired Bradley Electric to wire three of my rooms for overhead lighting, install light fixtures, require switches, and install smart switches. They were professional, transparent, affordable, and efficient. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Seemed professional when we first met and agreed on work at a reasonable price. Had significant trouble with installing recessed lighting in our ceiling resulting in two drilled holes in the roof, covered up with caulking while also ripping drywall from the ceiling. I had contractors come in to repair some of the damage caused (not all) which was higher than the value of the work he did. I still offered to pay him something to at least cover materials when he seemed reasonable about what had happened. This has resulted in insults and possibly threats from him on how he would get his money back.

Response to owner: nice mix of truths and outright lies. I've sent over the full cost of the drywall repairs for him to see. The cost I told to him was only for the excessive damage he caused. Not even all of the damage he caused. He never told my wife about the holes in the roof she just happened to be around when they started panicking but she wasn't sure what was going on. I checked later after she told me something fishy had happened and I had to call him after he left for him to acknowledge the holes in the roof.

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?

We had contacted Big City Electric in March of this year for an EV charger for our Tesla. David and his team were prompt to come and quote the work and we decided to move forward with him being very reasonably priced. The worked performed was timely and minus a small issue of the outlet being installed upside down (which was fixed after the same day), no complaints.

Fast forward to December of this year, I noticed the charging had stopped working for the Tesla. I opened the breaker box to find that the breaker had tripped and that there was burning plastic smell accompanied by a warm temperature from the specific breaker. I had immediately reached out to David and his team since the statement of work states a one year warranty on all parts and service. I have contacted Big City Electric multiple times through email and voicemail (no one picking up calls) over a two week span with no luck. Are they still in business?

Now my family and I are stuck without an EV charger during the holiday weeks. I understand breakers are faulty and some products do malfunction, but to not communicate or respond back for weeks is tough.

Update: 1/4 - Still no call from Big City or answer after multiple attempts. Just went ahead and had another electrician come out to fix the issue. We found that the work was not performed to code and that a different breaker brand was used than what the panel was causing the breaker to not sit properly, therefore causing possible heat damage to the panel that may require an entire new panel. Very disappointed as this could have caused major damage to the house if it did not already cause a couple thousand dollars to replace the panel.

Strickland electric is the best. I've used them for all my electric issues since buying my house in Whitehall. Yesterday Nathan came out to install a new outside outlet which he did. I then asked him to fix some other issues like adjusting my flood light and labeling my electric box which he did at a discount rate for the labeling and no charge for adjustment of my flood light. He's the best!

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.

i have always had great experiences with Higher Power. our first interaction was 10 years ago when we remodeled our kitchen. they did a fantastic job. my general contractor was impressed enough that he asked for their contact info to pass onto other clients. since then we have used them for various electric needs:  new panel, transfer switch, and several smaller jobs. they are straightforward, honest and communicate well throughout the job.

Jim continues to be our go to electrician for any electrical needs at our residence. He is reliable, very personable and will go the extra mile to ensure our needs are met. We strongly recommend James Hartley Electric for your residential electric needs.

Glen installed 2 new porch lights I had purchased from Lowe's. They look and work great!

Just wanted to say how pleased we were with this company. We try to use local businesses for services and we definitely were impressed with this family owned business. They responded quickly and didn't charge an arm and a leg. Very pleased.

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!

John is extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to any electric needs. They go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service at a reasonable cost. Would highly recommend the R&T Yoder Team!

We've had Mr Electric out twice in the last 4 months. The technicians were great and very helpful. I can't give 5 stars because everything leading up to the technician was a bit frustrating. When a business opens at 7am, they need to be ready for calls.  When I called right at 7 because I had a situation that I needed taken care of that day, I was put on hold while the representative got their computer up and running. When I finally got taken off hold and explained my situation, I got an appointment time from 11-1. This was great and I asked for a call 20-30 minutes prior to their arrival because I was at work and my dad was going to go let them in. Well, I received a call at 8:30 stating the technician was at my house!  I appreciated the prompt service, but it would have been nice to receive the call ahead of time like I had asked, especially since it was 3 hours earlier than I was told. It all worked out and it ended up being AEP's issue. But I just feel like a little more unnecessary stress was added to an already stressful situation.

Our kitchen ceiling light had a short in the unit. 'At Your Service Heating, Cooling, & Home Repairs' came to our rescue.  After a referral from a friend and one telephone call, Mr. Robert Jones (sole proprietor), showed up ,on time,  and did wonderful  job replacing our ceiling light fixture.
Mr. Jones was very friendly and because of his professional work ethic, I will have him come to my home again, if I find myself in need of a competent  contractor.

I've used Mr. Handyman for 3 different projects at my house and there is a reason I keep coming back. When the stairs to my front porch started deteriorating, I had a tough time trying to find a decking company to rebuild them since it was a smaller project. Mr. Handyman came out and had it completed in a day. The next call came when someone broke into my garage (detached), ruining the entry door. When they found out I couldn't close or lock the door because of the damage, they came out the next day, sured up the frame, and made the door lockable. After that, they replaced the door, anded a security door, installed my Ring surveillance light and wired the garage with more outlets. And this past time, they came to the rescue when another company accidentally tore out my back porch.

The staff is incredibly kind and communicative. The quality of the work is top notch and I always feel informed. They aren't the cheapest, but they actually show up and do the work. After scheduling with a few other companies, I'm willing to pay the premium for the work to be done well and on time. There are instances where it'd be more cost effective to use a specialized company, especially for big projects. But if you're like me and not really handy at all, these folks are great.
