Best Businesses in Ohio

Tyler and the team are great- the real deal. We hired them more than a year ago to do a large job including a new breaker box, and since I hadn't needed that type of work before, I did originally wince at the price. But they brought in a big team and got the job done quickly. They followed up, answering any questions we had and fixing a small thing that we needed done after the big job. Well, more than a year later I'm going to tell you that they stand behind their work. We had some issues due to power fluctuations in our neighborhood recently, and Bradley Electric stood by their work and helped us through the process of getting things fixed up again (ultimately it wasn't their fault but they helped us through the whole process of figuring it out and getting it fixed). They were punctual and efficient, and they know their stuff. I will also say that everyone who goes into our basement and knows what's up with electrical wiring (i.e. not me) has spontaneously commented on how gorgeous our breaker box is and how nicely it's set up. I didn't even know that was a thing (good looking breaker boxes), but apparently it looks awesome and well-organized (and is awesome and well organized). When you're hiring professionals to do something you know nothing about  and you're investing a lot of money in it (like I did), you want it to be done right. We're glad we chose Bradley.

Walid was helpful, responsive, reasonably priced and did a good job. I would recommend calling him for an electrical problem.

I have hired Jess Howard Electric for several projects and have been pleased with overall service. I would hire them again.

I would consider myself a handy person, and with my combined cheapskatedness, I like to DIY everything imaginable around the house. The power of YouTube how-to's has saved me quite a bit of cash. However, electric is one domain I will not touch with a 10 foot pole. (The only outcome I can ever see is me ending up with the same fate as Aunt Bethany's cat from Christmas Vacation after chewing on one to many Christmas lights). After reading some consistently positive reviews about Big City Electric online, I gave them a call for a quote.

I wanted to have 5 fans installed in our 2nd floor, and unfortunately, the house wasn't pre-wired for their installation. After getting a really reasonable estimate for what I wanted, I scheduled them to perform the install within the week. Chad and Scott were my electricians, and they promptly arrived on-time (literally almost to the exact minute) and were very friendly.

I had envisioned myself needing to go room to room with them to assist with their install, but after giving them the lay of the land, they took everything on themselves. They put plastic sheets over everything in the rooms so there was very little mess created from the drywall ceiling being drilled out. After everything was installed and in place, they even vacuumed the floors and wiped down the switch covers they installed (it almost looked cleaner than when they arrived).

Although I had them install the fan boxes and wiring, I went ahead and installed the actual fans myself (see cheapskatedness comment above). Even though they weren't installing the fans, they gave me some tips and feedback as I was putting them in.

Because of their competitive pricing, promptness, professionalism, cleanliness, and ease to work with, Big City Electric will be my go-to for any future electric needs I have around the house. Thanks Chad and Scott!

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.

Gave upfront estimate online. Technician came out early and only took 30 minutes on what was estimated to be a 3 to 4 hour job. The cost ended up being half of what was quoted. Would definitely use again.

After being very satisfied with previous electrical work by Ed at Safe Electric, we contacted them again regarding the installation of a 30 amp/240 volt electric vehicle charging plug in our garage (typically known as an electric dryer plug). We also requested they install an RV electrical box, just like the ones at the campgrounds for our RV that is parked on the side of the garage and to accommodate any RV visitors. Ed provided an estimate and also recommended the installation of a surge protector since our detached garage's electrical comes from buried electrical lines from our home's basement some distance away. The only other surge protector is on the opposite side of the house (at another basement panel). Recently, Ed and Kyle came out, crawled around in the garage's attic space, fished wire through the walls, etc, etc. The installation is VERY clean and professional. We now have the 30 amp/240 volt electric vehicle charging plug inside the garage between two of the parking spots so it can be used from either spot (wiring is ALL inside the wall). We have a full RV box on the side of the garage. It has a 30 amp/120 volt regular plug, just like the ones in the house, another 30 amp/240 volt dryer plug for small or medium size RV's (or, for an electric vehicle that won't fit in the garage) and the 50 amp/240 volt plug for the BIG RV visitors. Finally, Ed and Kyle added a surge protector in the garage wall, just below the electrical panel. GREAT JOB, Ed and Kyle! Thank you! Looks great and we are already using some of the plugs! Please see the attached five photos of the very clean installations!

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.

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.

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!

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.

The appointment was on schedule and he was wearing a mask and super friendly. I have already recommend this company to two friends. He was sufficient and cleaned up after himself, he did a fantastic job!! Needed something else to be done and Riley's is doing that too, GREAT company and very professional.    

Thank you Riley's,
Pickerington, Oh Family

He came on time, fixed all problems quickly and effectively, and was very nice. Will definitely use again!

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.

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.
