"I had an estimate done on some electric work, and James Pinson did an excellent job. He was very thorough, clear with his suggestions, and the pricing was very competitive. Based on James's visit and the estimate he provided, I chose Mr. Electric to complete the work."

"Called 6/20/19. First available appointment 7/11/19. I found another company who came 6/27/19 for free estimate and they did repair the light. Aside from having to wait 3 weeks, they charge $69.00 service fee to come out. They also do electrical house check at that time."

"Paul came and was very professional with his questions about my project being sure that he understood what i needed. Then he made sure that he provided the best solution for my electrical needs. He gave me a very reasonable bid. After I hired his company he sent his crew and they did a fantastic job and were very professional and nice. I would recommend this company to all I know for their electrical needs."

"Our water stopped and was told by multiple electricians it was most likely the water pump. Advanced Technologies and Electrical fit us into their schedule the same day to see if it was an electrical issue. It was. He temporarily fixed the issue with a plan to come back and fix it properly. I would highly recommend working with them."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

To make electrical projects safer for families in Kent, use tamper-resistant outlets and install GFCI protection in areas like basements and playrooms. Keep outlets away from water sources and secure electrical panels with locks. For pet safety, choose cord protectors and consider elevated outlets. Weatherproof outdoor connections to handle Kent’s winter conditions, and schedule regular safety inspections for ongoing peace of mind.

Helpful?

Your Kent home is a strong candidate for electrical projects if it was built before the 1980s, has original or aluminum wiring, or lacks modern GFCI protection. Homes with 100-amp service, unfinished basements, or limited circuits often benefit from upgrades. Properties near Kent State University or in established neighborhoods may also see improved energy efficiency and rental appeal with updated electrical systems.

Helpful?

In Kent, hidden costs for electrical projects often include permit and inspection fees, code compliance upgrades such as installing GFCI and AFCI outlets, and rewiring that may be needed in older homes. Additional expenses can arise from trenching through dense local soil for underground wiring, weather-related delays during Kent’s winter months, utility connection fees, and setting up temporary power for larger projects.

Helpful?

In Kent, warning signs that electrical work may need to be redone include exposed or overcrowded junction boxes, mismatched wiring, or extension cords used as permanent solutions. If you notice flickering lights, breakers that won’t reset, or a lack of documentation for past work, it’s wise to have a professional review the installation to ensure it meets current Ohio Electrical Code standards.

Helpful?

If your Kent home has flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, or outlets that feel warm, it’s a good time to consider electrical projects. Homes in Kent built before the 1970s, especially those with outdated panels or knob-and-tube wiring, should be evaluated. Planning upgrades before winter or after heavy storms is smart, as local weather can impact both safety and project timing.
