We have had Bradley Electric out to do two different projects 1)replace our electric panel and several electrical outlets 2) install lights in our closets and new lights in our bathroom and dining room. Both times the team has done great work and have exceeded our expectations.

Did an awesome job for installing 8 cameras at my house and fixing several electrical outlets.

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've been super impressed in my experience with Big City Electric, who came out to fix some outlets that weren't working in our home.

The technician was an hour late, but he called to let us know this and once he arrived he quickly completed the job as requested. While he was here, he also re-wired a few light switches and did it as quickly as he could to keep the hours we would be billed at a minimum.

A few days later, we noticed a few other outlets in close proximity to where the tech had been working on re-wiring weren't working. I assumed maybe the previous tech had done something wrong and called back and a week later another tech came out to take a look at the issue.

Turns out it was some glow in the dark light covers my parents had installed on a few of our outlets had burned out and were creating issues with the outlets that weren't working.

This second tech was incredibly personable and friendly and took the covers off without charging us for anything.

This is EXACTLY how good business is done and you'd be foolish to use anyone other than Big City Electric for your electrical needs. They've earned my business for life.

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.

Ben, Garrett, and Erick were all great in helping me with an installation of a new panel. Super knowledgeable and efficient! Would definitely recommend if you are looking to have electrical service done on your home!

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.

Don't know if I can trust this company. Called them for an estimate to have hot tub electric hooked up. Guy showed up and proceeded to tell me how the current system was bad and I had the wrong type of wire. Quoted me over 1000 dollars to do the job. Had 2 other electricians come out and both had told me the wire size was appropriate and if I moved my tub over 1.5 feet I would be within the distance needed for code, so essentially was going to be majorly ripped off by this electrician. By him moving things the way he wanted to, I would have spent an extra 600 dollars in wires.I just want to make people aware that  this place tried  to use my lack of electrical knowledge against me  Felt like someone getting ripped off at the car garage, going for an oil change and getting a new transmission. Glad I went elsewhere to discover that the existing wires were able to run and saved over 1000.00 and was something that could be done by myself.

They work on commission, so they get paid for the work they do and the parts they sell. Honesty tends to slip their mind.

I am not saying I don't recommend them, I am just saying be careful and be alert and make sure you get more than 1 estimate to make sure your not getting unnecessary work done.

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

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.
