"Called for an electric fan that was not working and was told it needs to be replaced. Not charged for service of checking it. I had an outlet that needed replaced that I had forgotten to mention which he was able to fix while he was there."

Since 1994, the professional electricians at Mr. Electric have been serving residential and commercial customers throughout the US and Canada. We get it right the first time, delivering the most comprehensive electrical services including installation, upgrade, and repair solutions available.

"I had Mr. Electric out to my house on June 19 and showed the electrician, Sean, and his apprentice, Jeff, 4 items that I wanted to have looked at and repaired. Those items were: 1) 2 outlet boxes in a shared wall that were not perfectly aligned so had intermittent grounding 2) an outdoor light replaced with another standard outdoor light that I provided 3) some wiring in a switch checked for safety 4) a suspected weak breaker replaced. After showing them all 4 items, Sean repeated them back to me before giving me a verbal estimate of $662, which seemed reasonable for all 4 items. They were not able to complete the items that day and asked to return. I asked if it was okay to have my parents there instead of me when they returned since I work full-time and Sean agreed. I walked my parents through the list so they understood the work to be completed. Sean and Jeff returned on June 24 and spent approximately 30 minutes in my house. Sean and Jeff only completed 2 of the 4 items but I was billed the full $662. When I got home, my dad walked me through the work. They installed the outdoor light to satisfaction and fixed the grounding issue upstairs by running about 6 inches of cable per outlet to another area of the box. They won’t replace the breaker due to the manufacturer no longer being in business and not wanting to use another manufacturer’s breakers, which I understand from a safety perspective. They also did not rewire the switch. According to my dad, all they did was remove the faceplate and verify the ground even though the issue that was expressed to them was weird jumpering inside the box. On the Mr. Electric website, they state that they offer free safety inspections so I should not have been charged for this. My dad also informed me that Sean claimed he knew nothing about the breaker even though I distinctly remember mentioning it and it being on the verbal list when I received my estimate. I never received a formal written estimate to verify that this was a part of it but as a regular customer of their partner business, Mr. Rooter of Cleveland, this was normal procedure to me. My dad also let me know that even though he had offered to turn off the breakers, Sean did all the work without turning any off. This is a safety concern and is against the NFPA Electrical Code (70E, Article 110.3). I did not initially receive an email statement so I called on June 24 at 4:50pm and requested it because I did not understand why I had been charged the full $662 for only partial work. I was informed the email had failed and they would resend it. When I received the bill, there was a charge for Troubleshoot and Minor Repair (which claims a safety inspection is also included) and a second charge for a ceiling bedroom square. I didn’t have them do any ceiling work so I am not certain what this charge is for. The only note is to hang a customer light. I called back at 5:05pm and asked to speak to someone about the bill. I was told that the manager and Sean were not available but that they would be sent a message to call me. I also marked a zero on a survey I received and received a text that I would be contacted. After not receiving any response, I called back on Wednesday, June 26, at 10:27pm due to shift work and left a detailed voicemail and informed them I would be disputing charges. I made sure to leave both my number and my dad’s should I not be available. To date, I still haven’t received any response. My understanding was that my quote was for all 4 items since before receiving it, Sean had repeated them back to me. 2 of the items were not completed and if I had known I would still be charged the full amount regardless, I would have sought out another electrician. They were in my house for 30 minutes and I understand that electricians charge to the nearest hour or per job but $662 for an hour’s work and <$5 of materials seems absolutely ludicrous. I was previously a satisfied customer of the associated Mr.Rooter Plumbing but after this experience, I won’t be using either business."

"After spending almost 13 thousand dollars 2 months ago for installation of cummins home generator-it would not shut off after a normal automatic test. I called the company and they said shut off the gas. This was April 12. The said it would be May before a tech co u l check it out. So what do you think- you pay 13 grand to prote c t you from power outages but when it is faulty you are at the mercy of what appears to be a lack of technicians and VERY poor service. Its April 29 and havent heard back from them. The say they will call back and dont. Recommend you stay away frpm thi compNy!"

"I matched with CG3 on Angi and reached out after our generator did not kick in when we lost power. The generator came with the house so we did not know what to do with it. He answered my call and offered help before he even came over. At the schedule appointment, we walked through everything with us and suggested we set a service when it was needed. I appreciated how thorough and honest he was! We are definitely hiring CG3 for our generator services."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

When planning generator installation in Akron, consider how local zoning impacts generator placement, especially in areas with strict noise or visual guidelines. Evaluate the reliability of your chosen fuel source, and ensure your installation site remains accessible during winter. High demand after storms can affect contractor availability, so booking early is wise. Also, notify your insurer and check for flood risks near rivers or low-lying areas.

Helpful?

Before starting generator installation in Akron, outline your project timeline and confirm all necessary permits are secured. Arrange for utility locates to identify underground lines, and coordinate with utility providers for any required service adjustments. Review neighborhood guidelines for generator placement and noise, and ensure your installation site is accessible year-round. Always schedule inspections in advance and hire licensed professionals for electrical and gas connections.

Helpful?

In Akron, unexpected costs during generator installation often stem from upgrading outdated electrical panels, installing or extending gas lines, and addressing transfer switch compatibility. Site preparation may reveal drainage issues or require a new concrete pad, especially if soil conditions are poor. Permit and inspection fees, as well as higher labor rates during peak storm seasons, can also impact your overall project budget.

Helpful?

Akron’s weather, including cold winters, heavy snowfall, and strong storms, can delay generator installation and complicate site access. Frozen ground may require specialized equipment for trenching or pad installation, while high humidity and wind demand weather-resistant enclosures. Scheduling your project in spring or fall helps avoid extreme conditions, but always allow extra time for weather-related setbacks and ensure your generator is rated for local temperature swings.

Helpful?

Installing a generator in Akron can enhance your home’s value and attract buyers who prioritize uninterrupted power, especially given the region’s frequent storms. Homes with backup power systems often stand out in the market, particularly in neighborhoods where power outages are common. A professionally installed standby generator can also give your property a competitive edge and support a smoother resale process.
