"Did not use their service, however, they responded quickly to the Angie's List request for providers and gave an instant quote on site performing the estimate. Others, providers took up to two weeks for a final estimate. Very professional presentation and is a top rated service provider for their represented generator brand. Would consider them on future and/or add-on products based on my experience and their good ratings."
A win for the owners of this panel change.
Ready to label and get inspected
This is guaranteed to provide adequate electric needed to provide heating and cooling on demand.
Panels are installed and look great.
Without yearly inspections of your electrical services in your home this could happen to you. This is the panel that failed and we upgraded.

"The job was done very well. Our lower level was a major problem and it turned out that our fuse box was in serious trouble. The team explained the problem and quickly fixed the lower level issues and fuse box. The bathroom fan needed parts in order for the installation to be completed to my satisfaction, the technician showed me exactly what to order and I have, he is coming back out to install them. We are pleased with the work, how easily it is to make an appointment and they were on time, in addition I received an email with the a photo of the technician and name therefore I knew ahead who was coming to my house."

"Cincinnati’s Everlasting Electric did an excellent job. They installed a new 400 amp service from the street and added some 220 volt lines for a car charger and cooktop. They were polite, did everything on time, cleaned up, and were very courteous. The inspection passed and the inspector told me that he never finds any problems with their work. I highly recommend them."

"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."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Cincinnati’s variable weather means generator installations must account for frequent power outages from thunderstorms and ice storms. Cold snaps require generators with reliable cold-start features, while summer humidity can accelerate corrosion if enclosures aren’t properly sealed. Homes near the Ohio River may need elevated platforms to prevent flood damage, ensuring the generator remains operational during severe weather events.

Helpful?

In Cincinnati, homeowners often overlook setback rules, leading to generators installed too close to windows or neighboring properties. Failing to size the generator for both emergency power and future needs is another frequent issue. Many skip required inspections or underestimate the impact of heavy clay soil on the foundation, and some neglect to plan for safe fuel storage or proper ventilation in humid conditions.

Helpful?

For Cincinnati installations, choose enclosures with enhanced corrosion resistance to handle humidity, and use transfer switches rated for emergency power loads. Concrete pads should be designed for freeze-thaw cycles common in the area. Opt for wiring and connectors with moisture protection, and consider cold-weather battery kits to ensure reliable starts during winter. Always confirm materials meet Cincinnati’s local building standards.

Helpful?

Cincinnati homeowners should factor in neighborhood noise restrictions and possible HOA guidelines that affect generator placement. The region’s heavy clay soil may require additional drainage or foundation work to prevent shifting. Scheduling can be impacted by spring storms or icy winters, so plan installations during milder weather. Always coordinate with local utilities for safe connections and anticipate inspection timelines.

Helpful?

When hiring in Cincinnati, prioritize contractors with proven experience handling local emergency power needs and knowledge of soil drainage challenges. Verify they hold proper insurance and are familiar with city-specific permit requirements. Ask for recent local references and ensure they discuss generator maintenance options. Be wary of anyone requesting full payment upfront or avoiding questions about local code compliance.
