"Mr. Electric provided excellent service for me under difficult circumstances. A building contractor damaged a wire and buried it under 42” of concrete. Ryan Corley, Mr. Electric’s wire detection specialist, was able to locate the wire accurately. Electricians Jeff Shipkosky and Khefren Johnson spent two and a half very long days, in 93-degree heat, digging around the perimeter of my house. Both ends of the damaged wire were eventually located six feet underground, which is considerable deeper than code requires. Justin David, Mr. Electric’s manager, was here working alongside his men and provided all the support possible to them. He maintained full contact and communication with me throughout the entire process. These men, along with a crew of assistants, are a class act company. I was very impressed at the dedication of Mr. Electric and recommend them highly."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Steve was great! He was able to fit us into his schedule quickly and work around our tricky availability. He's incredibly friendly and professional. If you want good work done at a very reasonable price, Go with Steve @ Quick Connect. He made quick work of our lath and plaster walls and added the 4 outlets we needed. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!"

"Jim is an experienced electrician. We hired him to install an 220 line to our garage for the purpose of charging our new EV. Experienced in this type of job, Jim arrived with everything needed to complete the work (i.e. running the electrical line from the Box - which need a bit of modification - through the basement ceiling to the garage, and installing the 220 receptacle in the garage.) Only slight hitch was the the actual 220 outlet which was mounted in such a way that I could not mount the actual vehicle charger in the best location on the garage wall. Everything worked fine, I just have to come up with a fixture to permanently mount the charger. Jim did all the work within a 2 hour window. I think the cost was a bit on the pricey side (though Jim said that his price would be among the cheapest around. I'm not so sure of that). Bottom line however, I chose Jim because he impressed me that he was fully capable of doing a quality job, which he did. So I am a satisfied customer."

"Anthony is very prompt in replying. He was efficient in getting the job scheduled/completed. He works with your budget & helps to ensure you have the correct electric requirements for your specific job. I cannot recommend him enough. So much so that I have already hired him for another job! Customer service was excellent."

"Mr. Jim Gorman who is the owner of the business called me back within a half hour of my email posting. He visited my home 3 days later, inspected things, and told me what the approximate cost would be. He and his helper then installed an entire lightning protection system on both my house and a back garage/storage area. He did things exactly as I wanted in every way. Also threw in a free weathervane which increased the beauty of my home. I would have no objection to recommending this gentleman and his company to anyone who is in need of a competently installed lightning protection system for their home/property. MID-AMERICA LIGHTNING RODS is one fine company run by a man who cares about doing good work according to the latest safety codes etc. Having lost my previous retirement home to lightning, it was very important to me to get this job done and quickly because the thunderstorm season is upon us and with the climate change, those storms are very wicked, especially here out in the country where i live!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Amherst offers residential electricians for home wiring, panel upgrades, and code compliance, as well as commercial contractors for businesses and local schools. Some contractors specialize in generator installation, which is valuable during winter storms, while others focus on smart home technology or solar power. Many local pros are experienced with Amherst’s older housing stock and unique electrical challenges, including weatherproofing and energy efficiency.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Amherst, prioritize THHN/THWN copper wiring for durability in varying temperatures, and use PVC conduit for underground installations to withstand moisture. EMT conduit is ideal for exposed indoor runs, especially in basements common to Amherst homes. Install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas, and select weather-resistant covers for exterior outlets to handle Ohio’s seasonal weather changes.

Helpful?

After electrical work in Amherst, schedule any required inspections and keep all permits and warranty documents accessible. Test all GFCI outlets, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide alarms for proper function. Inspect outdoor electrical components before winter, and review your electrical panel annually—especially in homes over 30 years old. Notify your insurance provider about upgrades for potential policy adjustments and added peace of mind.

Helpful?

To enhance safety in Amherst homes, install tamper-resistant outlets in living areas and GFCI protection near water sources. Use conduit or protective covers where pets may access wiring, and secure electrical panels with childproof locks. Weatherproof all outdoor outlets, consider whole-house surge protection for storm season, and regularly test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to meet Ohio fire code and keep your family safe.

Helpful?

When hiring electrical pros in Amherst, confirm they have experience with local permit requirements and are knowledgeable about regional weather’s impact on wiring. Ensure they carry valid insurance and can provide references from recent Amherst projects. Request detailed written estimates, verify emergency service availability for winter outages, and check if they’re familiar with older home electrical systems common in the area.
