Overall, I'm very happy with the service. Dion, who was out for both of our service calls, did a great job and was very personable and professional. On the plus side, they have weekend hours, which is awesome not having to take time away from work or other activities to get things done. A couple minor negatives: on Saturday, Mr. Electric missed the appointment, but part of that was our fault (we missed the call). On Sunday, we discovered after the electrician had left that the network cable didn't work. He came back very quickly and got the problem resolved. Overall, I would recommend Mr. Electric based on the service I received. I give them very high marks for caring about taking care of my property (wearing boot covers, using dropcloths, and cleaning up afterwards.
Description of Work: Mr. Electric came out to check a power problem with some outlets, which turned out to be my own boneheaded mistake (I missed resetting a breaker). While he was there, we also had him quote us for a run of a network cable from the bedroom to the basement.

Although it did turn into a bigger job, i was very pleased with the dedication he showed.
Description of Work: Had baseboard heating unit replaced and it turned into a lengthy job due to some cut wires in attic. They found the issue replaced the unit and spent many many hours working diligently until it was completed.

I had a short in my outside electrical circuit. I had traced all the lines I could and was at a standstill. When the gentleman arrived, I shared what I had done, and he noted that I was correct and then found the ONE thing I had'nt checked, resolved the problem and charged me absolute minimum. Good service, very nice fellow.

There was a mixup on the date of my appointment, but after 2 calls, a technician was dispatched.I got the estimate in the evening & the work was perfomed the next day - important, because I wanted the bathroom exhaust fan installed before attic insulation is added. Dave, the technician, was prompt, courteous, personable & tidy.
Description of Work: I had a bathroom exhaust fan & light installed where there was no existing wiring, and replaced a light fixture that had been installed (by previous owners) without a junction box.

Dion from Mr. Electric came out, answered all our questions, provided trouble shooting, and told us what we needed to do to fix the problem. The problem is now fixed, and it didn't cost me a fortune! I also got an estimate from them for putting in another box. When I am ready to do the work, they will be doing it!

A very nice experience. From a pleasant conversation with the dispatcher, to a nice encounter with (Dave) the electrician. Mr. Electric seems to be well represented by competent and caring employees. Dave the electrician was very mindful of not tracking debri into the house. He offered up various remedies to my situation, and did not pressure myself into making a decision. I feel the quality of his work was excellent. I'll certainly consider employing Mr. Electric for my future remodeling plans. Thanks everyone!!
Description of Work: The electrician for the above mentioned company inspected, and troubleshot the service panel,outdoor electrical feed, gang switches, and outlets. Along with replacing a circuit breaker, cleaning up some issues in the service panel, and making recommendations.

At first it looked like it would be an expensive job. I believed that a prior owner probably had not grounded some wires doing a remodel. As it turned out, Kurtis found the grounding wire after a lot of work, and quoted me a much cheaper price than we had agreed. They came out the day I called - such a different experience!

I called late on a Friday afternoon, and they offered to have someone come out that evening. Unfortunately I had another commitment and couldn't be home that evening or over the weekend, but they were able to put me on the schedule for 8-10am Monday. Kurtis arrived at 7:40am, which was earlier than I expected. Fortunately I was home, and early is better than being late. (The office did call to let me know he was on his way.) Kurtis looked at the four fixtures and determined it was the ballasts. (Three of the ballasts had black material oozing out of them!) He gave me a quote, and after I got over the sticker shock, I gave him the okay to do the work. He left to pick up the parts and came back about an hour later. Once he got back with the parts, it only took about an hour to do the work, which amounted to completely rebuilding the electrical portion of the fixtures. He did say I could put in new fixtures cheaper than rebuilding the old ones, but I like the look of the old fixtures and wanted to keep them. Bits of wiring and debris flew everywhere while he was working, but he swept up when he was done. The repaired fixtures work beautifully.
Description of Work: He replaced the ballasts that had gone bad on four fluorescent light fixtures (the style with two 4-foot, 40W tubes). The original fixtures had T8 ballasts, but he replaced them with more efficient T12 ballasts. He also replaced the connectors (tombstones) that hold the bulbs and put in new bulbs. He took the old ballasts for disposal because of environmental regulations but left the old bulbs with me along with some extra new bulbs.

I called Mr. Electric this morning about a light switch that had sizzled, smoked, smelled, turned black, and shorted out. Much to my surprise, they were able to send someone (Curtis) out within about 30 minutes. He was very polite and professional and provided an estimate before he did any work. 20 minutes later, my switch had been replaced, everything was working again, and I was able to go to work. I would definitely call them again!

Fine. A little sticker shock on the total price, but fine.
Description of Work: As recommended by my home inspector, electrician replaced aluminum wiring from a Jenn-Air electric downdraft cooktop to the basement circuit panel. Also ran a 120v line to the slide in range area for future gas range replacement. They did charge me $138.41 for an hour of diagnosis to thoroughly safety check my newly purchased older home's wiring for two circuit panels.

The gentleman was very prompt and corrected the problem. However, had my husband not been a "hands on" landlord, we would have paid a much higher bill. We would definitely use them again. Everything went well.

I woke up this morning to a warm house - no AC. I soon realized a power switch blew overnight. I tried resetting it, but every time the AC came on, it would pop again. So, after some experimenting, I realized I was dealing with an electrical issue and not an AC issue. I called Mr. Electric of Columbus because they are the only electrical company I use in Columbus, primarily due to the fact that they did such a great job when I had to have my 1940s pop-o-matic fuse box upgraded. The technician and the supervisor came out to investigate. Both were highly professional, listened to my explanations, and were patient as they traced down the problem. They even went out of their way to make some adjustments so I could avoid problems in the future. I'll never use another electrical company in Columbus.
Description of Work: Installed a tandem breaker (in switch box) and installed two wall power outlets.

This is the second time I used Mr. Electric and J. R. I found the quality of J.R.'s work to be outstanding with attention to every detail. As he was working he noticed several switchplates that I had failed to put back on after painting. He carried some in his truck and fixed those promptly. He also fixed a bare wire that he noticed was dangerous that previous contractors had failed to conceal in wall. I will have him come out again to install new smoke alarms. I feel so much more comfortable in my home since he has been here and noticed things that I was unaware of, or disregarded, as being dangerous. He was friendly, courteous, and professional . He cleaned up and took out boxes and trash before he left.
Description of Work: I called Mr. Electric and asked for J.R. specifically as he came out the last time and I was impressed with his work. He installed a ceiling chandelier in the kitchen where a can light had previously been. He also replaced several switchplates.He enclosed a large bare wire that was never enclosed in wall by previous contractor.

His work far surpassed our expectations. He made an effort that other people would not. He also added a special coax cable to the outlet that had professional results. Price was a little higher than expected, but he was able to work with us on price.

I was impressed with the quality of work, attention to detail, and focus on getting the job done. The first day took over 12 hours of work without a break to assure that we would have our power back on the same day. After minor problems were identified, they were completely fixed the next day while finishing the rest of the job. While the price seemed a bit high, it appears that I got my money worth from true professionals who stand behind their work. If you want it done right and safely, use these guys.
Description of Work: Removed 36 year old Electrical Panels and circuit breakers, replaced with two larger 200 amp panels with new breakers and rewire to code. Added one whole-house surge protector to newer existing one. Turned on and off electrical themselves, saving me a $168 charge from AEP (and 2-3 days without electrical service). Added new main switches for both panels. Tested all circuits and labelled by part of house individually. Cost: $3700 of the total. Also, Added new photoelectric to lamppost outside with new junciton box, rewired exposed outdoor pond wiring and properly grounded it, and sleeved the existing exposed outdoor wiring. Cost: $1200 of total.

I was having a problem with one breaker constantly flipping. I called around and had a few companies come in. I've known for some time that the electrical panel had to be replaced in full, and the person working for this company came in, took one look and said "That entire panel needs to be replaced." The other two companies I'd had in hadn't even mentioned it. He was completely straightforward about everything, and that sold me on the spot, even though they cost 10%-20% more. I explained I couldn't afford the entire panel fix immediately, and he said he could help me with a patch. He was quick, efficient, and discussed with me - while showing me - what had happened, and what I needed done and why. Then provided me with a quote to replace the panel. I highly recommend this company.

JR Deem was the technician who gave us the estimate and did the work. JR was very prompt both times. In fact he called approximately a half hour before arriving for the estimate to let us know he was enroute and he showed up promptley for the 3:30 pm apointment. At the time of the estiamte whe asked him how soon he could do the work if we decided and he stated as soon as we wanted it. We were thinking of maybe having the work done the next day which was a Friday.He even called us the next morning to touch base with us to see if we had decided on that day. We told him we had already called the office and set it up for Monday instead. JR showed up promptly on the scheduled day and began his work. He was very courteous, efficient and professional. JR even removed all of the empty boxes and cleaned each work are before leaving. We were very pleased with the workJR did and would definitely use him and Mr. Electric again for future electrical needs.
Description of Work: We had wiring done to install four ceiling fans and switches. We had dual switches installed in each bedroom and a single switch in the liviing room. The living room ceiling fan was installed with a remote.
