"This is not hyperbole. This company exceeded my expectations more than any I have ever worked with. The speed, efficiency, quality of work, professionalism, and value all 10/10. I have dealt with these issues a while and went through other electricians in an effort to diagnose the issue and get it fixed. The ease that Todd from Waibel diagnosed the problems proves the difference when getting real pros. Ease your mind and wallet and call Waibel it will be the best choice you can make. I can not ensure it will be as cheap as what mine cost but I can assure you they will not take advantage of you and will give you the absolute best service and price available. They literally saved me thousands from what others were trying to get me to spend that I did not need to."

From a young age I always loved Electric. My father was my idol and owned his own Electric business. I rode around with him in the truck doing service calls and installations until I turned of age to officially work for the company. At 16 I started doing prefabrication for all the large projects. Once I turned 18 I was an official apprentice. Putting in numerous hours I became a foreman and was offered a position in Colorado building multi Million dollar houses. I came back to Ohio and opened my own company. With over 15 years of experience, not only do I provide Top Notch work, but I provide a professional long lasting relationship for years to come.

"Shane was professional and provided excellent customer service. The new lighting and outlets look great, we are super happy with the craftsmanship and great pricing. Would 10/10 recommend Magers Home Services for any electrical needs!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Columbus, generator installation projects typically take three to five weeks from start to finish. This timeline includes securing permits, scheduling inspections, coordinating with utility providers, and equipment delivery. The actual installation phase often lasts one to three days, but factors like weather, seasonal demand, or site preparation needs can extend the process, so plan accordingly for uninterrupted backup power.

Helpful?

When hiring generator installation pros in Columbus, verify they are licensed, bonded, and insured, and have a strong track record with backup power systems. Ask about their experience with local permit processes and utility coordination. Request references from recent Columbus projects, confirm they manage all required inspections, and ensure they offer ongoing maintenance and emergency support, especially during severe weather events.

Helpful?

For generator installation in Columbus, prioritize a standby generator that matches your home’s power needs and consider natural gas if available for reliable backup power. Use a reinforced concrete pad designed for freeze-thaw cycles, weather-resistant enclosures, and copper grounding rods for safety. Select durable electrical conduit and gas lines rated for outdoor use, and ensure all materials comply with local building codes for long-term performance.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Columbus may encounter extra costs for permits, inspections, and preparing the installation site, such as upgrading the concrete pad or improving drainage. Additional expenses can arise from utility connection fees, electrical panel upgrades, or enhanced grounding systems. Unexpected costs might also include landscaping adjustments, seasonal surcharges for winter work, or modifications to fences or outbuildings to allow proper generator placement.

Helpful?

In Columbus, common mistakes include choosing a generator that’s too small for the home’s needs or neglecting to obtain required permits. Some homeowners overlook proper placement, leading to issues with airflow or snow accumulation. Others skip routine maintenance or fail to plan for future power demands. Not reviewing warranty coverage or emergency service options can also create challenges when backup power is most needed.
